“…Family can directly show empathy, show caring attitude, and monitor the schedule of the activities of the older persons (Prazeres & Santiago, 2015). The higher the support provided by the family for the older persons is, the more motivated the older persons to perform regular and sustainable activities are (Ojo, Malomo, & Sogunle, 2016). This is also consonant with the fi ndings reported by Miller & DiMatteo (2013) which states that there is a positive and signifi cant correlation between family support and adherence where family can be a support system towards the health problems experienced by individuals.…”

This study is to determine the correlation of family support and social support with the adherence to physical exercise among the older persons with hypertension. It was a descriptive analytical type of quantitative research with the cross-sectional approach. Data were collected from the working area of Tugu Community Health Center, Depok involving 108 older persons with hypertension. Two questionnaires were used to measure the characteristic of the respondents (questionnaire A) and family support, social support, and adherence to physical exercise (questionnaire B). The data analysis included univariate, bivariate, and multivariate correlations. There is a signi fi cant correlation of family support and social support with the adherence to physical exercise among the older persons with hypertension. Family support has the greatest in fl uence on the adherence to physical exercise among the older persons with hypertension (β coeffi cient value: 0.381). The older persons with hypertension need a strong support from the family or closest friends to improve the adherence to hypertension treatments, one of which is physical exercise. Family support has the major infl uence on the adherence to physical exercise among the older persons so that the development of communitybased and family-based nursing strategies through the empowerment of the older persons care groups and family empowerment is essential to be carried out.

“…The scale contains 20 items to be answered by yes, no, or don't know. A score of 1 is assigned to each yes response; the other responses, no and don't know, are each scored as a 0 as in other research studies (Ojo, Malomo, & Sogunle, ; Olowookere et al, ). Total scores can range from 0 (no perceived family social support) to 20 (maximum perceived family social support).…”

“…Total scores can range from 0 (no perceived family social support) to 20 (maximum perceived family social support). The scores have previously been categorized to represent strong family support (greater than or equal to 11), weak family support (7‐10), and no family support (less than or equal to 6) (Ojo et al, ). The original family support scale demonstrated acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach α = .90) (Procidano & Heller, ).…”

Background: Self-efficacy and family social support are significantly associated with hypertension self-care behaviours. However, little is known about their mechanism in Saudi Arabia. This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the relationships among family social support, self-efficacy, and self-care behaviours among men with hypertension in Saudi Arabia.Methods: Data were collected from May to August of 2018. The Hypertension Self-Care Profile and the Perceived Social Support from Friends and Family scales were used to measure the study variables. Multiple linear regression was used to analyse the relationships between the variables, and the Baron and Kenny test was used to assess if self-efficacy mediated the relationship between family social support and hypertension self-care behaviours. Results: Respondents (N = 158) from the Jizan and Al-Sharqia regions of SaudiArabia completed the survey. Family social support and self-efficacy were significantly associated with hypertension self-care behaviours. In regression, self-efficacy was the only variable significantly associated with hypertension self-care behaviours.Self-efficacy fully mediated the relationship between family social support and hypertension self-care behaviours. Conclusions: Interventions to enhance hypertension self-care behaviours amongSaudi men could focus on increasing individual's self-confidence to perform specific healthy behaviours. Family support can also contribute to the performance of hypertension self-care behaviours.

“…Family plays a role in preventing health problems and caring for sick family members as well. Studies found that families, friends and significant others are the supportive people who can directly prevent and improve patient's health (Ojo, Malomo, & Sogunle, 2016;Osamor, 2015;Padhy, Lalnuntluangi, Chelli, & Padiri, 2016). The influence of family involvement in chronic disease control especially hypertension had been proven by many studies.…”

“…This is also revealed by Osamor (2015) that says support from family by giving reminders about medication shows better treatment compliance than those who did not. In addition, Ojo et al (2016) states that a strong perceived family support will improve their self-worth and motivation. Based on some observations, most hypertensive patients have good knowledge about hypertension but family does not realize that their support is crucial.…”

Non-communicable diseases such as hypertension have overtaken infectious diseases as the leading causes of death in the world. However, it is considered to be a preventable disease. Family has a role in preventing and controlling this disease. The study aimed to analyze the involvement of family in the treatment of hypertensive patients in the community in Terban using qualitative research method with a multiple case study design. Using purposive sampling, four families were recruited to participate in this research, each of which represented four quadrants of Dunn's Health Grid. These characteristics include: (1) Case 1 is a family that has a patient with high-level of wellness in a favourable environment, (2) Case 2, has a patient with emergent high-level of wellness in an unfavourable environment, (3) Case 3, has a patient with protected poor health in a favourable environment, and (4) Case 4, has a patient with poor health in an unfavourable environment. To gather the data, this research used audio-recorded interviews, participant observation, field notes and documentation. The participants who were interviewed were 4 hypertensive patients,4 family members (1 each family), a public health nurse and a physician. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis and case descriptions which developed 3 main points; a) family as primary support, b) self-care maintenance, and c) barrier to treatment. This study concluded that family involvement in hypertensive treatment varied from case to case. The family members' involvement includes psychological and instrumental supports which affect the patients' independence in self-care treatment of hypertension. However, there are still some barriers to treatment, especially among families living in unfavourable environment. Therefore, the role of community health nursing becomes important to examine not only the health but also environmental conditions of hypertensive patients and to find out the weak points that need attention so that the role of family in managing hypertension patient can be maximized .
