TB paru merupakan masalah di Indonesia. Data Riskesdas 2010 menunjukkan, prevalensi TB Paru 2009/2010 sebesar 725/100.000 penduduk. Evaluasi hasil dilihat dengan angka konversi pada akhir pengobatan fase intensif sebesar 80%. Masalah utama kegagalan konversi adalah komponen perilaku penderita TB paru yaitu keterlambatan diagnosis dan tidak selesainya pengobatan yang berakibat resistensi ganda OAT. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kasus kontrol, populasi sebanyak 1.305 adalah penderita TB paru pengobatan fase intensif tahun 2010 yang tercatat di formulir TB 01 puskesmas di Kabupaten Bekasi. Sampel diambil sebanyak 170 penderita, dikelompokkan menjadi gagal konversi sebanyak 200 penderita dan konversi sebanyak 1.105 penderita. Setiap kelompok diambil masing-masing 85 penderita. Data dikumpulkan dengan wawancara menggunakan kuesioner. Metode analisis data dengan uji Chi Square dan regresi logistik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan responden tidak teratur minum obat lebih besar yang mengalami kegagalan konversi (74,1%) dibandingkan yang konversi (46,4%). Hasil uji Chi square ada hubungan yang bermakna antara keteraturan minum obat, sikap terhadap keteraturan minum obat, pengetahuan tentang TB, penyuluhan kesehatan, efek samping obat, dan status gizi dengan kegagalan konversi. Hasil uji statistik dengan regresi logistik menunjukkan faktor paling berhubungan dengan kegagalan konversi adalah status gizi OR: 4,705: 95% CI: 2,143-10,332. Status gizi penderita TB paru perlu ditingkatkan sebagai upaya bersama dengan pemberian OAT.

Pulmonary TB is a problem in Indonesia. Riskesdas 2010, the prevalence of pulmonary TB 2009/2010 for 725/100.000 population. Evaluation results conversion rate at the end of the intensive phase of treatment by 80%. The main problem is the conversion of a component failure behavior of patients with pulmonary TB is not the completion of delayed diagnosis and resulting treatment dual resistance OAT. Design study are casecontrol study. Population of 1305 patients with pulmonary TB is an intensive phase of treatment in 2010 are recorded in the TB form 01 health centers in the district of Bekasi. Samples were taken 170 patients, classified as many as 200 patients failed to convert and convert as many as 1.105 people. Each group of 85 patients taken at random. Data were collected by interview using a questionnaire. Methods of data analysis with chi square tests and logistic regression. The results showed respondents do not regularly drink more drugs that have failed conversion (74.1%) compared to the conversion (46.4%). Chi square test results there was a significant association between the regularity of drug taking, attitudes toward medication order, knowledge of TB, health education, medication side effects, and nutritional status with conversion failure. The results of statistical tests with logistic regression showed factors associated with failure of the conversion is the nutritional status OR: 4,705: 95% CI: 2,143-10,332. Nutritional status of patients with pulmonary TB needs to be improved as a joint effort with the provision of OAT.

Latar belakang: Hipertensi merupakan penyakit tidak menular dengan prevalensi tertinggi Indonesia. Berdasarkan data Survei Kesehatan Indonesia (SKI) 2023, 30,8% penduduk usia ≥18 tahun mengalami hipertensi berdasarkan pengukuran, sedangkan prevalensi hipertensi berdasarkan diagnosis dokter adalah 8,6%. Selain itu, laporan SKI 2023 menekankan adanya kesenjangan antara perilaku pencarian pengobatan hipertensi dengan proporsi masyarakat yang terdiagnosis. Saat ini, sebesar 53,3% penyandang hipertensi tidak teratur minum obat atau tidak minum obat antihipertensi, dan 56,9% tidak teratur atau sama sekali tidak melakukan pemeriksaan ulang ke tenaga kesehatan.

Tujuan: Mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan perilaku pencarian pengobatan hipertensi pada penyandang hipertensi usia ≥18 tahun di Indonesia.

Metode: Sebanyak 53.648 penyandang hipertensi usia ≥18 tahun berdasarkan data SKI 2023 diteliti dalam penelitian cross-sectional ini. Uji chi-square dan regresi logistik sederhana dilakukan untuk melihat hubungan antar variabel. Variabel luaran adalah perilaku pencarian pengobatan hipertensi. Variabel prediktor adalah jenis kelamin, usia, status pernikahan, tingkat pendidikan, status pekerjaan, pengetahuan terkait hipertensi, tempat tinggal, wilayah geografis, status sosial ekonomi, kepemilikan jaminan kesehatan, akses ke fasilitas kesehatan, multimorbiditas, dan perilaku cek kesehatan berkala.

Hasil: Proporsi perilaku pencarian pengobatan hipertensi yang aktif pada penyandang hipertensi usia ≥18 tahun di Indonesia tahun 2023 adalah 76,2%. Faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan perilaku pencarian pengobatan hipertensi adalah berjenis kelamin perempuan (OR = 1,24; 95% CI: 1,15-1,33), berusia 65-74 tahun (ref. 18-24 tahun; OR = 6,60; 95% CI: 4,35-10,04), sedang menikah (OR = 0,92; 95% CI: 0,85-0,99), memiliki tingkat pendidikan tersier (ref. Tidak sekolah; OR = 1,28; 95% CI: 1,12-1,47), tidak bekerja (OR = 1,15; 95% CI: 1,08-1,23), pernah mendapat informasi pengobatan hipertensi (OR = 3,98; 95% CI: 3,70-4,28), berasal dari Kepulauan Maluku (ref. Papua; OR = 1,97; 95% CI: 1,51-2,58), memiliki status sosial ekonomi teratas (OR = 1,36; 95% CI: 1,17-1,59), memiliki jaminan kesehatan (OR = 1,48; 95% CI: 1,36-1,61), memiliki multimorbiditas (OR = 1,77; 95% CI: 1,63-1,92), dan melakukan cek kesehatan minimal 1 bulan sekali (ref. Tidak pernah; OR = 6,16; 95% CI: 5,54-6,84).

Kesimpulan: Studi ini menunjukkan dibutuhkannya program untuk meningkatkan kesadaran dan partisipasi aktif masyarakat, khususnya kelompok usia produktif, dalam melakukan pengobatan hipertensi.

Background: Hypertension is a non-communicable disease with the highest prevalence in Indonesia. According to the Indonesian Health Survey (SKI) in 2023, 30.8% of people aged ≥18 experienced hypertension based on blood pressure measurement, while the prevalence of hypertension based on a doctor’s diagnosis was 8.6%. In addition, the SKI 2023 report emphasised the gap between hypertension health-seeking behaviour and the proportion of diagnosed patients. Currently, 53.3% of hypertensive patients do not regularly or do not take anti-hypertensive medication, and 56.9% do not regularly or do not have re-examinations with health professionals.  Objective: This study aims to determine the factors associated with hypertension health-seeking behaviour in hypertensive patients aged ≥18 years in Indonesia.    Methods: A total of 53.648 hypertensive patients aged ≥18 years based on SKI 2023 were analysed in this cross-sectional study. Chi-square test and simple logistic regression were used to determine the associations between variables. The outcome variable is hypertension health-seeking behaviour. The independent variables are gender, age, marital status, education level, employment status, hypertension-related knowledge, place of residence, geographic area, socioeconomic status, health insurance ownership, access to health facility, multimorbidity, and regular health check-up.   Results: The proportion of active hypertension health-seeking behaviour in hypertensive patients aged ≥18 years in Indonesia in 2023 was 76.2%. Factors associated with hypertension health-seeking behaviour were female (OR = 1.24; 95% CI: 1.15-1.33), aged 65-74 years (ref. 18-44 years; OR = 6.60; 95% CI: 4.35-10.04), married (OR = 0.92; 95% CI: 0.85-0.99), having tertiary education (ref. no formal education; OR = 1.28; 95% CI: 1.12-1.47), not working (OR = 1.15; 95% CI: 1.08-1.23), having received information on hypertension treatment (OR = 3.98; 95% CI: 3.70-4.28), living in the Maluku Islands (ref. Papua; OR = 1.97; 95% CI: 1.51-2.58), having the highest socioeconomic status (OR = 1.36; 95% CI: 1.17-1.59), insured (OR = 1.48; 95% CI: 1.36-1.61), having multimorbidity (OR = 1.77; 95% CI: 1.63-1.92), and doing a health check-up at least once a month (ref. never; OR = 6.16; 95% CI: 5.54-6.84).  Conclusion: This study indicates the need for a program to raise awareness and the active participation of the public, particularly the productive age population, in seeking hypertension treatment.  Key words: Health-seeking behaviour, hypertensive patients, hypertension
