Hypertension is a chronic disease that requires special treatment to support the success of treatment. This study aims to analyze the role of peer group support in an effort to increase the success of treating hypertension patients in the work area of the Jenggawah Health Center. In this study, there were 15 informants who participated in data collection. Determination of informants using purposive sampling. This study uses a qualitative research design with a case study approach. This study uses 3 methods of data collection, namely in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGD), and observation. The results obtained: peer group support programs can increase knowledge about hypertension treatment; fostering motivation through sharing experiences, becoming friends, supporting treatment, and wishing for healing; establish effective communication between members through verbal and nonverbal; and increasing psychological support for self-confidence, stigma, and medication adherence. The conclusion of this study is that peer group support can help increase the success of treating hypertension patients through knowledge, motivation, communication, and psychological support. So it’s hoped that a nurse can continue to support and be a facilitator in the peer group support program to increase the success of treating hypertension patients
