Purpose:
One-third of the global population is predicted to be diagnosed with hypertension (HTN) in 2025, with the percentage highest among older people. Without proper self-care management, uncontrolled HTN causes negative health consequences and decreases the quality of life. The previous scoping review identified various challenges that older adults may face in dealing with HTN and that effective approaches should consider each individual's circumstances and attributes. This study aims to investigate the efficacy and sustainable impact of an Indonesian adaptation of an 8-week nurse health coaching intervention on self-care management and self-efficacy among older people with HTN.
Patients And Methods:
The coaching sessions will last for 30 min weekly for 8 weeks. The data will be measured at three points: baseline (initial), 1 week after the eighth health coaching session, and 3 months after concluding the intervention.
Discussion:
This study will be the first health coaching intervention research based on motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy approach with Indonesian background adjustment. The study result will help develop a guideline for nurses and other health workers providing health coaching for older people in Indonesia and other countries with similar characteristics in terms of sociodemographics or lifestyle.
