Abstract

Hypertension is a condition characterized by abnormally high blood pressure in individuals who do not have hypertension. Generally, hypertension does not have a specific cause and occurs in response to increased cardiac output or peripheral pressure. It can also be triggered by uncontrollable factors such as genetics, gender, and age, while controllable factors include obesity, stress, physical activity, and smoking. Nursing care for Mrs. L and Mrs. y was conducted from May 10-13, 2024. The research goal was to obtain an overview of nursing care for those at risk of ineffective cerebral perfusion due to hypertension in Jatisari, Jatiasih, Bekasi. This scholarly work employed a descriptive qualitative research design with a case study approach. Two clients or families were selected as informants for the research, encompassing assessment, nursing diagnosis, interventions, implementation, and evaluation. The assessment included both initial and secondary explorations. The nursing diagnosis focused on the highest scoring issue: the risk of ineffective cerebral perfusion due to family incapacity in caring for hypertensive family members, scoring 3 3/5. After a 15 minute nursing intervention session with the family, it was expected that they would understand hypertension-related issues. Evaluation stages confirmed that both patients achieved the planned outcomes. It is hoped that both clients and their families will serve as sources of information regarding the disease and how to care for patients with hypertension.
