Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a major chronic condition among older adults and is closely associated with reduced quality of life (QoL). Family function and coping strategies are considered important in promoting the health and well-being of older adults. Agroindustrial communities represent a unique socio-economic and cultural environment where traditional agricultural lifestyles coexist with emerging industrial employment systems. This dual structure creates distinct patterns of family dynamics, caregiving behaviors, and health outcomes, making them an important setting for studying family caregiving and QoL among older adults. Objective: This study aims to analyze the influence between family function and family coping with the quality of life among elderly patients with hypertension. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2025 among 95 older adults aged ≥60 years with hypertension living with their families in the working area of Puger Health Center, Jember, Indonesia. Data were collected using the APGAR Family questionnaire, the Family Coping Index, and the WHOQOL-BREF. Classical assumption tests were performed, followed by multiple linear regression to analyze the effects of family function and coping on QoL. Results: The regression model was Y = 69.719 + 0.302X1 + 0.463X2. Family function showed a positive but non-significant effect on QoL (B = 0.302, p = 0.077), while family coping also demonstrated a positive but non-significant effect (B = 0.463, p = 0.328). Both variables were positively related to QoL, although not statistically significant at the 95% confidence level. Conclusions: Family function and coping were positively associated with the QoL of older adults with hypertension but did not show significant effects. Other contextual factors such as socioeconomic status, health literacy, and community support may have a stronger impact. Further research and interventions are needed to enhance family involvement and coping strategies to improve the QoL of older adults with hypertension.
