Problems that still occur during the transformation of primary services, especially in the treatment of hypertension, where there is still a lack of knowledge among cadres in treating hypertension. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between cadre knowledge and the management of hypertension at the ILP (Primary Service Integrity) Posyandu service in Singonegaran Village, Kediri City. This research design is a correlational study with a cross-sectional approach. Respondents were selected using a simple random sampling technique. The population consisted of 102 peoples, with a sample size of 81 peoples. The independent variable is the cadre's knowledge and the dependent variable is the treatment of hypertension. The statistical test results used Spearman rank. Almost all respondents, 70 (86.4%) of whom had good knowledge of cadres, knew about hypertension. Almost all respondents, 73 (90.1%) of whom had good knowledge of hypertension. The results of the data analysis show that the significance level is 0.000 <α = 0.05 so that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, thus there is a relationship between cadre knowledge and the handling of hypertension at the ILP (Primary Service Integrity) Posyandu service in Singonegaran Village, Kediri City. The better the cadres' knowledge, the better the treatment of hypertension. It is hoped that cadres will always provide information to the public about preventing and treating hypertension.
