Cardiovascular disease due to hypertension can cause problems with the quality of life of hypertension sufferers, so that the sufferer's quality of life will be disrupted and life expectancy will also decrease. One program that is expected to be able to prevent and control the risk factors for NCDs in Indonesia is Posbindu (Integrated Development Post) for PTM. Unfortunately, the attendance level of Posbindu participants is still far from the target set by the government, namely 70%. The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between posbindu utilization behavior and quality. life of hypertensive elderly.
This type of research is cross sectional. The research population was 1,119 hypertensive elderly people in Setren Village. The sample was taken using a simple random sampling technique totaling 96 people. The variables of this research are the behavior of using posbindu and the quality of life of hypertension sufferers. The instrument used is the EQ-5D questionnaire. The statistical test uses Pearson correlation with a significance level of p<0.05.
The research results show that the behavior of using Posbindu of most respondents (53%) is in the inactive category. The quality of life of the hypertensive elderly of most respondents (55%) was in the good category. The statistical test results obtained a p value = 0.000, so H0 was rejected, which means there is a relationship between posbindu utilization behavior and the quality of life of hypertension sufferers.
The more actively elderly people with hypertension participate in posbindu, the higher their quality of life, so innovations should be provided in posbindu activities to increase participant activity.
