The Problems and Needs of Self-Management Among Indonesian Older Adults With Hypertension: A Qualitative Study.
Article in SAGE open nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Hypertension is the most common older adults' health problem in Indonesia. Older adults experience various changes in their life that often contribute to their ability to manage health problems, especially in chronic diseases. Objectives: This study aimed to understand the problems and needs of self-management of older adults with hypertension. Methods: This was a qualitative exploratory descriptive design. Data collection was conducted among 62 participants. Participants were 15 older adults with hypertension and 11 older adults' families, 12 primary care nurses, seven medical doctors, 11 health volunteers, three heads of primary care, and three district health officials selected by purposeful sampling. Data were collected using semistructured, face-to-face interviews (older adults and their families) and focus group discussion (healthcare workers). Data analysis was carried out qualitatively descriptively using an inductive thinking process; Colaizzi's measures were used for analysis. Results: This study identified eight main themes: (1) complaints related to aging and hypertension, (2) knowledge and beliefs about hypertension, (3) behavior changes after hypertension, (4) disease management support; access to health services for older adults, (5) the need to manage hypertension for older adults, (6) disease management support, (7) hypertension self-management behavior, and (8) compliance with medication. Conclusion: This study provided evidence regarding older adults' problems and needs in managing hypertension. These findings should be considered while providing nursing care at the community level to initiate the self-management of hypertension in older adults.
