Background: Hypertension remains a health problem with the potential to be a burden for the families of older adults due to the high risk of complications. Families need effective media to support the management of older adults with hypertension at home.
Objective: This study aims to develop and assess the feasibility of the Kendali-HT web application.
Methodology: This study used a Research and Development (R&D) approach, which aims to develop and test the effectiveness of a product, with the ADDIE model. The analysis and design stages used a qualitative approach; the development stage consisted of the development of an application; and the implementation and evaluation stages used quantitative methods.
Results: Three themes emerged during the analysis stage. The subsequent stage produced a web -application based on Riegel’s theory. Finally, in the evaluation stage, the application was rated as having good feasibility.
Conclusion: This application is expected to serve as a tool to educate families and increase self-management behaviors of older adults with hypertension at home.
