摘要：Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that causes public health problems, including workers. Exposure to hypertension risk factors can be influenced by the characteristics of the workplace, where workers spend most of their daily time. So it is necessary to prevent the high rate of hypertension in workers. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between health literacy and blood pressure of formal sector workers in PT X, Indonesia. This study is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional study approach to identify the risk of hypertension in workers, measure the blood pressure of workers for screening for sample determination with Diastolic Blood Pressure (TDD) of 120-139mmHg and Systolic Blood Pressure (TDS) of 80- 89mmHG, as well as self-efficacy behaviors and health literacy level. The population in this study was all workers in the PT X. The samples in this study were some of the workers in the PT X who represented the population under the established inclusion criteria. The sampling technique used was stratified random sampling. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-square test. The results show that there is a significant correlation between the variables of age, BMI, Self-Efficacy, and eating patterns (Ï < 0.05) with the blood pressure of workers. Also, there is a significant correlation between health literacy and blood pressure (Ï < 0.05) and there is a correlation between age and education level (Ï < 0.05) with health literacy. Thus, it is concluded in this study that, in general, it can be said that health literacy correlates to the blood pressure of workers in PT X, Indonesia.
