To evaluate the effectiveness of an educational program in improving knowledge regarding hypertension, psychological stress, and stress management among elderly hypertensive individuals.
Conducted a pre-post community intervention among N=35 elderly individuals with hypertension at the Mugi Sehat Posyandu/Posbindu in Dukuhwaluh Village on September 18, 2025.
