ABSTRACT


Introduction: Hypertension is a cardiovascular disease, often referred to as the silent killer disease, that mostly affects the elderly. Changes in body condition and unhealthy lifestyles cause hypertension in the elderly. Hypertension is basically a cause of high mortality and impacts expensive care for the elderly. The caregiver's lack of ability is one of the triggers for the severity of hypertension. The caregiver plays a crucial role in helping elderly people with hypertension become independent. Research on the empowerment of caregivers of elderly hypertensives is very diverse, but research on the most effective empowerment for caregivers is limited. Objective: This study aims to investigate the type of empowerment that improves hypertension in the elderly. Methods: The online databases include Science Direct, ProQuest, PubMed, Sage, Ebscohost, and Google Scholar. Articles were reviewed from 2018 to 2022. Protocol and evaluation of literature review using the PRISMA checklist and the Joanna Briggs Institute Guidelines. Results: A total of 15 articles define the types of empowerments, comprising 6 types of such as family empowerment (4 articles), social support (4 articles), adaptation (2 articles), education (3 articles), dyadic partnership (1 article), and multidisciplinary (1 article). The development of a caregiver empowerment model is expected to increase the ability to care for the elderly and have an impact on the self-management of hypertension. Conclusions: Empowering caregivers for elderly people with hypertension is an important step in ensuring that elderly people receive optimal care and are able to better manage their hypertension condition. The most common were family empowerment and social support.

INTRODUCTION


In Southeast Asian countries, where the prevalence of hypertension is rapidly rising, there is a scarcity of studies examining how patients manage their self-care practices (Irwan et al., 2022). The highest non- communicable disease in Indonesia is hypertension (68.6%). The prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia was 658,201 people, while the elderly who suffered from hypertension were 63.5% (Riskesdas Kemenkes, 2018). Researchers find that caregivers struggle to provide adequate care for elderly people with hypertension (Boonyathee et al., 2021). The family has an important role in helping elderly people with hypertension become independent. Family involvement as a caregiver has a positive impact on handling elderly hypertension (Silva et al., 2021).

The caregiver has an important role in treating elderly people with hypertension to become independent (Raei et al., 2022; Elvira, 2018). A caregiver has a positive impact on handling the elderly. Caregiver support has the effect of increasing lifestyle and reducing stress (Wasmani et al., 2022). The caregiver plays a crucial role in ensuring medication adherence by monitoring the correct dosage, schedule, and method of medication administration (Kabia et al., 2022). Efforts aim to empower caregivers to enhance their caring abilities and family attitudes. While there is a wealth of research on how to empower caregivers of elderly

hypertensives, there is a dearth of research on the most effective forms of empowerment. The objective of this study is to explore the type of empowerment that improves hypertension in the elderly.

A total of 15 articles defines the types of empowerments, comprising 6 types of such as family empowerment (4 articles), social support (4 articles), adaptation (2 articles), education (3 articles), dyadic partnership (1 article), and multidiscipline (1 article). The development of a caregiver empowerment model is expected to increase the ability to care for the elderly and have an impact on the self-management of hypertension.


DISCUSSION


This systematic review aims to discover the types of empowerment models that caregivers can use to increase their ability to care for elderly people with hypertension. Empowering caregivers for elderly people with hypertension is an important step in ensuring that elderly people receive optimal care and are able to better manage their hypertension condition. Hypertension, a non-communicable disease, currently poses a significant threat to global public health issues, particularly in Indonesia. Because hypertension ranks first among sufferers compared to other diseases, the Indonesian Ministry of Health has used various ways to deal with hypertension problems in society (Ministry of Health, 2018).


Thematic analysis identified for the articles was 6 types of empowerment, such as family empowerment (4 articles), social support (4 articles), adaptation (2 articles), education (3 articles), dyadic partnership (1 article), and multidisciplinary (1 article).


Family Empowerment. Family members are familiar with the behavioral patterns of older patients, and their role is to supplement their education to modify these behaviors as necessary to prevent hypertension and unexpected problems (Callaway, Connor, & Foley, 2018). Another study has demonstrated the importance of family guardians as supporters of training, as well as their ability to act as mediators, moving information between themselves and the patients (Boonyathee et al., 2021). Family caregivers need to understand the relevance of anthropometric and blood pressure measurements (Rosdiana, 2019).


Social Support. The elderly undoubtedly benefits greatly from social help and support, particularly when it comes to relaxing and participating in social activities within their families and local communities (Liu, Gou, & Zuo, 2016). The community centers' social network support assists with empowering the older people to go to social exercises (Pirkle et al., 2018).


Adaptation: Chronological age should not be the main criterion for adapting therapeutic strategies because of the large heterogeneity in the pace and consequences of the aging process among older adults(Benetos, Petrovic, & Strandberg, 2019). Establishment of support groups for caregivers to share experiences and get support from fellow caregivers and counseling services to help caregivers overcome stress and emotional exhaustion.


Education: Successful training and observing projects should be made to accomplish blood pressure control, and it is critical to realize the elements influencing pulse control so that such projects can be arranged in hypertension. (Duygu Kes, 2019). Education about hypertension by providing information about what hypertension is, risk factors, symptoms, and complications. Medical management involves training caregivers in medication management, blood pressure monitoring, and how to provide proper care. It imparts knowledge on the significance of maintaining a low-salt diet, engaging in physical activity, and managing stress. (Riskesdas Kemenkes, 2018). Monitoring programs prevent increasing hypertension as a result of weight management because nutritional status is associated with blood pressure. (Roy, Roy, & Ghosh, 2023). Stress management through relaxation techniques is critical for lowering blood pressure. (Rosdiana & Cahyati, 2019; Wijaya & Nurhidayati, 2020). The use of progressive muscle relaxation can reduce stress and blood pressure. (Rosdiana & Cahyati, 2019). Education and training, team-based care, consultation, and short message service reminders were the most common interventions. (Ye et al., 2024). Current evidence suggests that health coaching could reduce blood pressure, improve dietary behaviors, and increase self-efficacy among patients with hypertension, making it an effective and alternative method for managing hypertension (Meng et al., 2023). Meta-analyses found evidence for the positive effects of group-format interventions measuring empowerment, HbA1c, and self-efficacy. Some individual-format interventions also showed effects on empowerment. Stepanian et al., 2023 identified high levels of heterogeneity and variability among the conceptual frameworks. The meta-analysis showed that mean values of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) decreased significantly after strength training interventions (Correia et al., 2023). Lifestyle behavior modification plays an essential role in the management of hypertension. Education and counseling interventions and strategies to achieve lifestyle behavior modification are vital components (Bulto et al., 2024).


Dyadic Partnership: Spousal support for elderly people with hypertension can promote better management of their condition and help them enjoy a high quality of life. This support focuses not only on medical aspects but also on psychological ones, which are important for long-term management. The majority of elders whose spouses were still alive were really focused on by their mates and were commonly worried about one another (Perez-Sousa et al., 2020). They had to manage experiences collectively, and they considered interacting with each other as their duty. Investigations have discovered that guardians who are youngsters or grandkids can have preferable personal satisfaction over different gatherings (Seangpraw & Ong-Artborirak, 2020).


Multi Discipline: To ensure that seniors with hypertension receive comprehensive and holistic care, a multidisciplinary approach is essential (Durán-Vega et al., 2019). This approach involves various professionals from different disciplines working together to meet the physical, psychological, and social needs of older adults with hypertension (Shepperd et al., 2021). Doctors and nurses assist with treatment and blood pressure monitoring. The nutritionist provides a proper diet plan. Physiotherapists design safe exercise programs to improve heart health and reduce blood pressure. Psychologists provide support for dealing with stress. With a multidisciplinary approach, hypertensive elderly receives effective, efficient, holistic care that does not only focus on the disease but also improves overall quality of life (Sanclemente- Boli et al., 2019).


Limitations


The variability in definitions and implementations of empowerment in this article across the reviewed articles could introduce inconsistencies in the findings. The focus on diverse empowerment types without a standardized measure may affect the comparability of results, and the exclusion of non-English language studies may have led to a geographical bias. Finally, the study's scope did not include direct empirical data collection, relying solely on secondary sources, which may limit the applicability of the findings to real- world settings.


CONCLUSION


The results showed heterogeneous models of caregiver empowerment. Most of the results showed family empowerment and social support empowerment. Empowering caregivers for elderly people with hypertension is an important step in ensuring that elderly people receive optimal care and are able to better manage their hypertension condition. Improving the health of the elderly through better and more regular care. Caregiver stress and caregiver fatigue decrease due to proper support, and the quality of life of the elderly and caregivers improves. This raises the issue of how these needs can be focused on sustainable caregiver empowerment.


Future research should focus on developing and evaluating sustainable models of caregiver empowerment that integrate family support, social support, and other effective strategies identified in the study. It is crucial to investigate the specific training and resources required for caregivers to manage hypertension effectively and to develop standardized programs that can be widely implemented. Ensuring that these empowerment strategies are adaptable to diverse cultural and geographical contexts will enhance their applicability and effectiveness.
