Abstract

World Health Organization (WHO) states that non-communicable diseases, including hypertension, are still the cause of death globally every year. This study aims to determine the study of health anthropology regarding hypertension in the indigenous peoples of the Ammatoa Kajang tribe, Bulukumba Regency. This study uses a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach and is supported by a phenomenological approach. The number of informants as many as 9 people consisting of patients with hypertension, families of people with hypertension, health workers and traditional leaders of the Ammatoa tribe. The data obtained were then analyzed with Nvivo. The results of the study on perceptions related to hypertension in the indigenous peoples of the Ammatoa Kajang tribe showed that the informants only knew hypertension as high blood pressure. The prevention efforts are carried out by A'ling (reducing) consuming foods high in salt and visiting sanro (shaman). Most of the traditional treatment efforts were carried out by the informants by drinking herbal medicine from raung (leaves). There are also Sahatu (traditional saunas) and the A'dakka Bangkeng tradition (walking barefoot) as an effort to maintain personal and family health related to hypertension.
