Abstract: Hypertension is a disorder of the blood vessels which results in the supply of oxygen and nutrients that are carried by the blood being blocked from reaching the tissues that need them. It is very important for people with hypertension to have knowledge about hypertension diet and have high self-efficacy. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between knowledge of hypertension diet and self-efficacy in hypertension sufferers. This type of research is quantitative using a descriptive correlational method with a cross sectional approach. The sample used was 95 respondents with the Cluster Random Sampling sampling technique. The instrument used is knowledge of hypertension diet and self-efficacy which has been tested on 20 hypertension respondents. The results showed that most of the levels of hypertension diet knowledge were in the good category, as many as 73 people (76.8%) and most of the respondents had high self-efficacy, as many as 59 people (62.1%). The results of the Spearman Rank Correlation Test obtained a significant value of 0.000 <0.05, with a correlation coefficient value of 0.650. In conclusion, there is a significant relationship with a strong correlation between knowledge of hypertension diet and self-efficacy in hypertension sufferers in Cikajang Village. It is hoped that the results of this study can become a reference for health centers and health workers in conducting health counseling for the control and prevention of hypertension so that complications do not occur. In addition, it is hoped that future researchers can redevelop things that can affect self-efficacy apart from knowledge, so that they can produce better research.
