HUBUNGAN TINGKAT KECEMASAN DAN DURASI SAKIT HIPERTENSI DENGAN KUALITAS HIDUP PASIEN HIPERTENSI PRIMER DI RSUD SITI FATIMAH
Hypertension is a condition characterized by elevated blood pressure above normal levels. The quality of life ofpatients with hypertension can be influenced by various factors,including anxiety levels and the duration of the disease. However, previous studies have reported inconsistent findings regarding the relationship between these factors and quality of life. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between anxiety levels and the duration of hypertension with the quality of life of patients with primary hypertension receiving outpatient care at Siti Fatimah Regional General Hospital. This study used a cross-sectional design. The study population consisted of885 patients, with a sample of 208 respondents selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Zung Self Rating Anxiety Scale (Indonesian version) to assess anxiety levels, a demographic data form to measure the duration of hypertension, and the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire (Indonesian version) to assess quality of life. The Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that anxiety level was significantly associated with quality of life (p-value 0.000; r = -0.724), indicating a strong negative correlation. The analysis of hypertension duration also showed a significant relationship with quality of life (p-value = 0.000; r -0.555), indicating a moderate negative correlation. These findings indicate that both anxiety level and duration of hypertension are significantly associated with the quality of life of patients with primary hypertension. It is recommended that nurses provide holistic nursing care that addresses not only physical aspects but also psychological factors and disease duration in managing patients with hypertension.
