Background Self-care practices such as lifestyle modifications in diet, exercise, and stress management are effective in reducing the incidence of and enhancing better management of hypertension. However, little is known about the self-care management practices of people with hypertension in Southeast Asia (SEA) countries where the prevalence of hypertension is sharply increasing. Methods A scoping review of research and grey literature (2006–2021) was performed using Scoping Review Frameworks by Arkey and O’Malley. For the research literature, ten databases were searched followed by a manual search of the reference lists of relevant topical papers. Criteria for inclusion included both qualitative and quantitative primary data studies, focused on adult (18 years and over) hypertensive patients, self-care management methods, conducted in SEA. The study protocol has been registered at Open Science Framework ( https://osf.io/s4nvk/ ). Results Out of 1667 studies examined, there were 57 studies that met criteria and were included in this review. Results indicate a paucity of relevant literature. Moreover, most studies reviewed showed an incident rate of 50% or more incidence of behavioural risk factors in people diagnosed with hypertension, including overweight/obesity, poor physical exercise, poor/low-quality dietary intake, and not adhering to medication. Few studies indicated adequate traditional self-care practice among SEA hypertension populations. Use of a non-prescription herbal as the medication is identified in some studies. Several reviewed articles indicated that there is individual variation in the facilitators and barriers to implementing self-care practices and we put it into a working framework. The facilitators and barriers are relevant to personal choice (internal factors) or to the environment or context (external factors). Conclusion Enhancing self-care management of hypertension in SEA may require a multi-focused approach including targeting personal choice as well as external factors such as cultural relevance, environment, and resources.

“…According to Oo (2018), 35 attitudes, perceptions, beliefs, and motivation created in a person are influenced by various factors ranging from knowledge, socio-culture, medical history, and so on, which then affect health behavior, which is also known as social cognitive theory through self-efficacy. The local government demonstrates attitudes and dispositions by providing support to all stakeholders, including Regional Development Planning Agency, Research and Development, in the planning of health programs, particularly hypertension care.…”

The advancement of times and cultural transitions, such as instant/practical lives, have an impact on people's welfare and health concerns, particularly in Indonesia. 1,2 This practical lifestyle comprises bad behavior and nutrition, which raises the risk of noncommunicable diseases. 3,4 Noncommunicable illnesses are the leading cause of death worldwide. According to a World Health Organization (WHO) report from 2017, noncommunicable diseases kill 40 million people, accounting for roughly 70% of the world's 56 million deaths. This is also supported by the RI Strategic Plan for 2015-2019, which lists hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as major causes of death. As a result, the global health community's focus on noncommunicable illnesses is critical. 5,6 According to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), the incidence of noncommunicable diseases had increased in 2017, accounting for 33.1% of the 53.3 million deaths worldwide caused by cardiovascular disease. In the same year, hypertension killed around 7.5 million people, which amounts to 12.8% of all fatalities globally. Hypertension was projected to affect approximately 22% of the world's adult population, or approximately 1.28 billion people. However, only 42% of adults were diagnosed and treated for hypertension, 46% were ignorant that they had it, and only 21% were able to control it. As much as twothirds of people with hypertension lived in middleto-low-income nations. 6,7 Because most hypertension patients are unaware that they have the disease, it is sometimes referred to as a "silent killer" because it does not display symptoms in most cases and is only discovered when complications emerge, which can lead to death. 8 According to the World Health Organization, the African area has the highest incidence of hypertension at 27%, followed by Southeast Asia in third place with a prevalence of 25% of the total population in the world. The number of people with hypertension continues to rise year after year, and it is anticipated that by 2025, there will be around 1.56 billion adults with hypertension, with an estimated 10.44 million people dying each year from hypertension and its sequelae. 9In Indonesia at present, non-communicable disease, especially cases of hypertension, are increasing every year. This is supported by the 2018 Riskesdas data showing the prevalence of non-communicable disease has increased when compared to the 2013 Riskesdas. The prevalence of blood pressure measurement results, cases of hypertension increased from 25.8% to 34.1%. 11 In 2016, it was noted that hypertension was the cause of death in Indonesia, amounting to 23.7% of 1.7 million deaths.

"The aim of this study is to assess the health behavior of those who are treated for high blood pressure among law enforcement officers, compared to those who are not under treatment for high blood pressure. Methodology: In Hungary, a cross-sectional survey was carried out among those serving in the County of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg. This is the publication of partial results of a study carried out in the framework of a comprehensive health behavior survey. Findings: The number of items in the sample is 1,719. 11.40% were treated for hypertension. There is a significant difference in gender (χ2= 3.979; p=0.047). The highest proportion of people with hypertension is among those with a secondary school leaving certificate (18.8%). The lowest prevalence is among university graduates (9.1%). Education level is significantly associated with hypertension (χ2=17.013; p=0.004). There is a very strong significant association between length of time in service and hypertension (χ2=83.204; p= 0.000). The proportion of people with hypertension increases steadily with the length of service. No significant differences were found for work schedule, smoking, alcohol consumption or physical activity. When examining the relationship between social support and hypertension, there is a significant difference between grandparent support and parent support (p=0.002; p=0.012). Those treated for hypertension can count on less parental or grandparental support. Non-hypertensives have higher personal health awareness (p=0001), as well as higher self-assessment of health (p=0.000). They are more motivated to avoid unhealthiness (p=0.002) and to maintain their health (p=0.009). They feel in better health (p=0.000) and are confident that this will be maintained in the future (p=0.000). Health concern is higher among hypertension patients (p=0.045). Both internal and external health control scores are higher (p=0.000; P=0.001) as is health anxiety (p=0.000). Value: The prevalence of hypertension increases with age, so it is of paramount importance that appropriate health promotion programmes help law-enforcement workers to maintain their health.
