“…54 Group hypertension education classes are an effective way to care for patients. 55 The collaboration with stakeholders on perceptions of the most suitable hypertension strategy resulted in multiple strategies and how to implement them, especially in the current setting and Namibia at large. Therefore, we propose conducting a discrete choice experiment with patients with hypertension to determine Namibia's most acceptable hypertension package.…”

ObjectiveTo determine the most acceptable hypertension intervention package to promote hypertension adherence based on stakeholders’ perspectives.DesignWe employed the nominal group technique method and purposively sampled and invited key stakeholders offering hypertension services and patients with hypertension. Phase 1 was focused on determining barriers to hypertension adherence, phase 2 on enablers and phase 3 on the strategies. We employed the ranking method based on a maximum of 60 scores to establish consensus regarding hypertension adherence barriers, enablers and proposed strategies.Setting and participants12 key stakeholders were identified and invited to participate in the workshop in Khomas region. Key stakeholders included subject matter experts in non-communicable diseases, family medicine and representatives of our target population (hypertensive patients).ResultsThe stakeholders reported 14 factors as barriers and enablers to hypertension adherence. The most important barriers were: lack of knowledge on hypertension (57 scores), unavailability of drugs (55 scores) and lack of social support (49 scores). Patient education emerged as the most important enabler (57 scores), availability of drugs emerged second (53 scores) and third having a support system (47 scores). Strategies were 17 and ranked as follows: continuous patient education as the most desirable (54 scores) strategy to help promote hypertension adherence, followed by developing a national dashboard to primarily monitor stock (52 scores) and community support groups for peer counselling (49 scores).ConclusionsMultifaceted educational intervention package targeting patient and healthcare system factors may be considered in implementing Namibia’s most acceptable hypertension package. These findings will offer an opportunity to promote adherence to hypertension therapy and reduce cardiovascular outcomes. We recommend a follow-up study to evaluate the proposed adherence package’s feasibility.

One of the main issues facing global health today is hypertension. Among the top five nations in the world for the proportion of senior population is Indonesia. According to estimates, there will be 36 million elderly people in Indonesia by 2025, and hypertension will be a major health issue. According to preliminary research survey data, there are twenty-one elderly in Nepo Village who suffer from hypertension. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the blood pressure status of Nepo Village's elderly hypertensive residents. At the time of the investigation, the sample size for this descriptive method utilising a quantitative approach and total sampling methodology which was based on inclusion and exclusion criteria was 21 respondents. Tensimeters and observation sheets are used in the data collection process. According to the study's findings, the majority of respondents had systolic blood pressure measured between 140 and 159 mmHg in 11 (52.4%) of the cases and diastolic blood pressure measured between 90 and 99 mmHg in 10 (47.5%) of the cases. The study's findings indicate that there is a correlation between gender and age in the blood pressure condition of elderly hypertensive patients.
