The results of the statistical test Chi-Square test obtained by value p = 0,048 with an error rate of 5%, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between family support for elderly people who suffer from hypertension in elderly hypertensive practices in controlling health. Humans as social beings can not live alone without the help of others. Physical needs (clothing, food, housing), social needs (association, recognition, school, work) and psychological needs including curiosity, a sense of security, feelings of religiosity, not be fulfilled without the help of others.8 Especially if the person is facing problems, whether mild or severe. At moments like that, someone would seek social support from the people around him, so he feels valued, cared for and loved. Social support can be regarded as something beneficial situation, providing assistance for individuals obtained from another person who can be trusted and as the availability and willingness of those means, which can be trusted to assist, encourage, receive, and keep individual. From these circumstances, the individual will know that other people pay attention, respect, and love. The family is a source of social support for family relationships to create a relationship of mutual trust. The individual as a member of the family will make the family as a collection of hope, a story, ask, and issuing complaints when the individual is experiencing problems.9 According to Green's theory that social support is one factor that strengthens a person to perform a specific behavior.7 Family support can include emotional support, instrumental, information, and assessments.10 Emotional support involves the physical strength and the desire to believe in others so that the individuals concerned became convinced that others are able to provide love and affection to him, support Instrumental, such as the provision of means to facilitate or help others as an example is the equipment, supplies, and Other supporting facilities and including providing a timely opportunity. Informative support for the provision of information to resolve personal problems, namely the provision of advice, guidance, and other information required by the individuals concerned as well as support for assessment in the form of social roles that include feedback, social comparison, and affirmation (approval). Giving support to the elderly requires an understanding of the family about the perception of vulnerability, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, access to health services and presence (availability) as well as the accuracy / appropriateness (adequacy) of such assistance for the elderly, so as not to cause social support given misunderstood and not well targeted. If the elderly (for various reasons) are no longer able to understand the significance of social support, it is necessary not only social support or maintenance service but socially (social care) completely.11 Support has been done by the families in this study were mostly families have made efforts observing condition/disease state, suggesting to pray, remind to always obey the doctor's advice, suggesting to adequate rest, and provide information about the disease. Results cross check with the family of respondents indicated that the majority of families of respondents have understood recurrence risk factors, complications may occur, along with the health benefits of exercise control obstacles that may occur as well as access gained in an effort to control the practice of health of elderly hypertensive. The support provided by the family tried to remind to want to check, reminded to take his medication regularly, South East Asia Nursing Research, Vol 1 No 1, June 2019/ page 7-13 12 Ninin Irani / Analysis Relationship Family Support and Health Cadre with Elderly Hypertension Practice in Controlling Health at Primary Health Care Mranggen Demak delivering the check, help with the cost check, remind to reduce salt, adequate rest, smoking cessation, suggesting to many worships and pray. This suggests that with good family support would encourage elderly hypertensive to practice good health control anyway. Social support has an important role to prevent health threats,10 high social support would make the elderly more optimistic in the face of today's life and future, more skilled in meeting the psychological needs and have a higher system, as well as lower levels of anxiety, enhance interpersonal skills, have the ability to achieve what they want and be able to guide the elderly to adapt to stress that health problems are being encountered can be resolved properly and is able to perform optimal health control practices. Social support for the elderly is very necessary for the elderly themselves are still able to understand the meaning of social support such as a supporter/sustainer of life, but the life of the elderly is often found that not all elderly people are able to understand the social support from others, so even though he had received social support but still Just indicate dissatisfaction, which is shown by way grumble, disappointed, upset and so forth. This can happen because of the support provided is not sufficient, the elderly feel no need to be assisted or worry too much emotionally that do not pay attention to the support provided, the support provided is not in accordance with what is required of elderly, a source of support for setting a bad example for the elderly, as do suggest unhealthy behaviors and to maintain or support the elderly in doing anything it wants. This situation can disrupt health control practices should be done by the elderly and causes the elderly to become dependent on others. In this study support given by health workers include: remind the elderly to carry out checks at regular intervals, suggesting to many breaks, dropping to health services, provide advice about the disease, the elderly Posyandu organize, teach gymnastics elderly and teach how to care. There is some support for health cadres perceived by the respondents is not optimal they are escorted to health care, teaching gymnastics elderly and organizing Posyandu, this is due to the limited number of health volunteers are active in every village, most of the implementation of Posyandu still join the Posyandu toddler, While the results of cross-checking with the families of the respondents about the support given to elderly hypertensive cadres showed the majority of respondents said that family health volunteers have held Posyandu, gymnastics, giving advice about the disease, and taught to live a healthy life. Meanwhile, in the opinion of its own health workers, they have been warned to check, suggesting to many breaks, advise, encourage and teach you how to care to posyandu. Thus, the better support health volunteers to elderly hypertension will increase efforts to elderly hypertension to control their health and supported by a good understanding of the factors that are at risk of recurrence, complications may occur, the benefits to control health along with the obstacles that may occur and access gained in an effort to control the practice of health of elderly hypertension is the ability to provide support to elderly hypertensive to practice health control will also increase. CONCLUSION From the results of the study showed that 69.1% of respondents have good health control practices and the remaining 30.9% had less health control practices, among others: there are about 59.6% do not exercise regularly, 44.2% still smoke and not on a diet as recommended by 35.1% and 33.7% still consume alcoholic beverages. 88.1% of respondents get good South East Asia Nursing Research, Vol 1 No 1, June 2019/ page 7-13 13 Ninin Irani / Analysis Relationship Family Support and Health Cadre with Elderly Hypertension Practice in Controlling Health at Primary Health Care Mranggen Demak family support and the remaining 11.9% have less family support. 51.2% of respondents have the support of good health cadres and the remaining 48.8% less to get the support of the health cadres. 71.9% of respondents get access to good health services and 28.1% had less access to health services.
