Key result

Higher hypertension self-efficacy is strongly linked to better stroke prevention behaviors.

r = 0.639
P=0.000
n=84

Why the study?

The relationship between self-efficacy in managing hypertension and stroke prevention behaviors needed to be determined.

Does higher self-efficacy in managing hypertension improve stroke prevention behaviors in patients with hypertension?

Key Points

To determine the relationship between self-efficacy in managing hypertension and stroke prevention behaviors.
Conducted a quantitative correlational study using a cross-sectional approach among N=84 respondents selected via purposive sampling in May and June 2026.
Collected data using questionnaires based on the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) and stroke prevention behaviors.
Analyzed the relationship between variables using univariate analysis and the Pearson correlation test.
Demonstrated a statistically significant relationship between self-efficacy in managing hypertension and stroke prevention behaviors (p-value = 0.000, p < 0.05).
Identified a strong and positive association between the two variables, showing that higher self-efficacy corresponds to better actions toward preventing stroke.

Does higher self-efficacy in managing hypertension improve stroke prevention behaviors in patients with hypertension?

P

Population

84 patients with hypertension (84.5% female, aged ≥40 years, 54.8% with 1-5 years of disease duration) in Banjar Regency, Indonesia, assessed cross-sectionally.

E

Exposure

Self-efficacy in managing hypertension, measured using a questionnaire developed based on the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) concept.

O

Outcome

Self-efficacy in stroke prevention behaviors, measured via direct patient-reported questionnaire.patient reported

Main Result

Effect estimate: r = 0.639

p-value: p=0.000

Higher patient self-efficacy in managing hypertension is strongly and positively correlated with better self-reported stroke prevention behaviors (r = 0.639, p < 0.001), highlighting the importance of psychological empowerment in cardiovascular risk reduction.

Limitations

Small sample size (N=84) restricted to a single regency
Cross-sectional correlational design precludes causal inference
Did not account for confounding factors such as knowledge, family support, medication adherence, physical activity, diet, and social support
Limited sample size and geographic region (authors recommend expanding sample size and study area in future research)
Did not evaluate other confounding factors that may influence stroke prevention behaviors such as knowledge, family support, medication adherence, physical activity, diet, and social support

Implication

Higher self-efficacy was associated with better stroke prevention behaviors; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective trials before practice change.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between self-efficacy in managing hypertension and stroke prevention behaviors. The study employs a quantitative method with a correlational design and a cross-sectional approach. The results indicate a significant relationship between self-efficacy in managing hypertension and stroke prevention behaviors, with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). The association between the two variables is strong and positive. This suggests that the higher the self-efficacy of individuals with hypertension in managing their condition, the better their actions toward preventing a stroke. In conclusion, self-efficacy has a significant, strong, and positive relationship with stroke prevention behaviors.

Fratama et al. (2026) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension (n=84). Self-efficacy in managing hypertension vs. Lower self-efficacy in managing hypertension was evaluated on Stroke prevention behavior self-efficacy (r = 0.639, p=0.000). Self-efficacy in managing hypertension had a strong, positive correlation with stroke prevention behaviors in patients with hypertension (r = 0.639, p = 0.000).
