Hypertension is widely known as8a silent killer because it often develops without clear signs or symptoms, causing many individuals to be unaware of their condition.

In8addition, based on8the report8of8the Survei Kesehatan8Indonesia, the prevalence8of hypertension in8Indonesia in 2023 reached 29.2%. This8study aims to analyze the8relationship8between8family support8and self management ability with medication adherence among hypertensive patients in the working area of Puskesmas Pasar Ikan Kota Bengkulu, Kota Bengkulu. This8study employed a8quantitative approach with8a cross-sectional8design. The sample8consisted of 76 respondents8diagnosed with hypertension, selected8using an accidental8sampling technique.
