OPTIMALISASI TATALAKSANA HIPERTENSI MELALUI FAMILY EMPOWERMENT: GERAKAN KELUARGA CERDIK DI DESA TOMPOBULU, MAROS

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Tompobulu Village is the result of the expansion of the Tanralili sub-district. Based on the data obtained, the average resident of Tompobulu Village suffers from hypertension. In addition, the location of the community health center is quite far from the village location. Based on interviews with community leaders, residents said they rarely check their blood pressure due to their busy schedules, which hampers blood pressure control. These factors prompted us to conduct community service in Batu Lotong Hamlet, Tompobulu District, Maros Regency. The methods used to assist the community are 3 methods: Health Education, Demonstration, and Health Check-ups. The training conducted will be tested for its effectiveness through pre-tests and post-tests. The main objective of this service is to increase family knowledge and skills related to CERDIK management in preventing hypertension in the community. The results were that during the 3-day activity, 80% of families participated in the socialization activities, there was an increase in knowledge from a pre-test score of 28% to 72% during the post-test with a fairly good category, community skills in conducting simulations were in a good category, community mastery of material was in a good category accompanied by participant enthusiasm and active participation in discussions.
