Transcultural Nursing Factor Related to Self-efficacy of People With Hypertension in Remote Area of Indonesia.

Introduction: Hypertension is often asymptomatic and can cause damage to vital organs, which can lead to death. In addition to pharmacological management, modification of people’s lifestyles needs to be done through a culture-based approach. Rural areas often have unique population characteristics, including living habits, cultural norms, and social support systems. This diversity can provide a comprehensive understanding of transcultural nursing factors. This study aims to determine the relationship between transcultural nursing factors consisting of technological factors, religion, social factors, family relationships, cultural values and beliefs, political and legal factors, and economic, educational, and knowledge factors on the self-efficacy of hypertensive patients. Materials and methods: Samples were selected by purposive sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria with a total sample of 55 people. Data collection uses a questionnaire. Results: Three factors have a significant relationship: social and family relationships, cultural and beliefs, and economic factors. However, social factors and family relationships influence the self-efficacy of people with hypertension, with a value of p=0.047 and an OR value of 3.733. Conclusion: The better the social factors and family relationships, the more effective the self-efficacy of people with hypertension will be. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
