Elderly with hypertension often experience anxiety due to frequent complications such as stroke, kidney failure, and coronary heart disease. Self-efficacy as self-confidence to overcome problems by influencing one's cognition is thought to be able to help the elderly deal with this condition. This study aims to determine the relationship between self-efficacy and anxiety levels in hypertensive elderly in RW 03 Rambutan Village, Ciracas District, East Jakarta. This research used a cross-sectional method with a purposive sampling technique. The research sample was 42 elderly citizens with hypertension in RW 03 Rambutan Village which was carried out from May 2020 - June 2020. The Chronic Disease Self-Efficacy Scale was used to measure Self-Efficacy and the Geriatric Anxiety Scale was used to measure anxiety levels. The research sample was analyzed by the Chi-Square test (p < 0.05). The results of the study found that most respondents were elderly (60 – 74) years as many as 39 respondents (92.9%), female 26 respondents (61.9%), did not regularly take hypertension medication as 25 respondents (59.9% ), duration of hypertension > 2 years as many as 30 respondents (71.4%). Bivariate analysis showed that there was a relationship between self-efficacy and anxiety levels in the elderly with hypertension in RW 03 Rambutan Village (p = 0.019). Researchers suggest that the elderly pay more attention to a healthy lifestyle to control hypertension and for health services, especially nurses, to be able to detect early anxiety that occurs in the elderly with hypertension.
