In order to assess the problem, this study used the family medicine approach and the Mandala of Health as the problem assessment to determine the factors that cause uncontrolled hypertension. A 66-year-old woman came to Kresek Puskesmas with hypertension since 6 years ago. The patient has complaints of pain all over the head. She claimed routinely take drugs prescribed by the Puskesmas, but not routinely control blood pressure. Thus, blood pressure is still not controlled. After the intervention, the patient's complaints became reduced and her blood pressure decreased from 160/100 to 140/90. In addition, she obtained a family understanding of hypertension, factors that cause uncontrolled hypertension, as well as complications that can occur due to hypertension. The discovery of factors caused uncontrolled hypertension in patients. It is expected that she can improve her lifestyle to be better so that complications from hypertension do not occur.]]>
