ABSTRACT The crude death rate in the Balowerti Health Center area in 2020 was 7. 28/1000 population, hypertension was the second highest cause of death for the population. From the community service of the Balowerti Health Center Performance Assessment 2023, it was found that the percentage of people with hypertension whose blood pressure was under control only reached 6% of the target of 63%. The aim is to provide information or an overall picture regarding strategies for controlling blood pressure so that the target of reducing systolic and diastolic pressure . ess than 140/90 mmH. can be achieved within a period of 1 year.

Many people with hypertension do not feel any symptoms or are asymptomatic. This can increase the risk factors for diseases such as coronary blockage, heart failure, cerebrovascular disease, and kidney failure (Tommy, 2. WHO in 2015 stated that 1. 13 billion people in the world suffer from hypertension. This means that 1 in 3 people in the world are diagnosed with hypertension and 2/3 of them come from developing countries (WHO, 2. Based on the East Java Health Service Profile in 2018, it was found that the percentage of hypertension was 22. 71% or around 2,360,592 people, with a proportion of men of 18. ,009 peopl. and women of 18. 76% . ,146,412 peopl.

Page. 98 - 104 hypertension aged Ou 15 years in East Java Province is around 11,952,694 people, with a proportion of men of 48% and women of 52%. Of this number, 40. 1% or 4,792,862 residents received health services for hypertension sufferers (East Java Health Office, 2. The CDR . rude death rat. in the Balowerti Health Center area is 7. 28/1000 population, where hypertension is the second highest cause of death. Hypertension sufferers must routinely check their blood pressure at a health service center with an interval of 3 months if systolic blood pressure is 140-159 mmHg and diastolic 90-99 mmHg, and once every 2-4 weeks if systolic blood pressure is> 160 mmHg and diastolic> 100 mmHg (Martins. Atallah, & da Silva, 2. However, from the results of the 2023 Balowerti Health Center Performance Assessment (PKP), it was found that the percentage of hypertensive patients whose blood pressure was under control only reached 15. 6% of the target of 63%. Based on the results of the data review above, the cause of the problem is the lack of public knowledge about the importance of controlling blood pressure in hypertensive patients, so it is necessary to increase educational efforts for the community. METHODS This research uses qualitative methods with a descriptive approach to analysis. Data collection is conducted through direct filed observations, where primary data is obtained via interviews with key informants. The analysis utilizes a fishbone diagram to identify various potential causes contributing to a specific problem or effect. The identified problems are then categorized into several factors, including human resources, materials, machines, methods, financial resources, and the environment. A discussion session is conducted to analyze the root causes of the problem, structured using 6M (Man. Method. Money. Material. Mother Nature. Machin. and 5S (Surroundings. Suppliers. Systems. Skills. Safet. frameworks (Kusnadi, 2. Make it into poin form: . Agree on a problem statement. Identify the category of the cause of the problem . M, 5S or othe. Find potential causes by brainstorming. Study and agree on the most likely causes. Describe the results of the problem assessment in the form of a fish head with its spines. Based the identification of factors causing problems with fishbone analysis, then prioritization of problems is carried out with the world ultrasound here is an abbreviation from USG (Urgency. Seriousness. Growt. In this method, each problem is assessed for its level of risk and impact. The highest value is considered a priority problem that must be resolved immediately. The scoring step using the ultrasound method begins with making a list of root problems, making a matrix table of problem priorities with scoring weights of 1-5 (Wardani &. Minarno, 2. Based on the prioritization of problems, then an intervention plan was determined in this study using SWOT analysis . trength, weakness, opportunity, threat. of internal and external factors in the Balowerti Health Center. Following problem prioritization, an intervention plan is developed using SWOT analysis (Strengths. Weaknesses. Opportunities. Threat. to assess internal and external factors at the Balowerti Health Center. This analysis is structured using: IFE (Internal Factor Evaluatio. Matrix to identify major strengths and weaknesses. EFE (External Factor Evaluatio. Matrix to identify opportunities and threats. IE (InternalExterna. Matrix to determines the strategic position of the health center. All factors that have been collected are then given weights and ratings, as well as scores from the results of multiplication of weights and ratings. The score results determine which quadrant is the position of the Balowerti Health Center, to determine strategies that can be used in problem solving efforts.
