Abstract

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that is a major cause of stroke and coronary heart disease. It is commonly found in the community and is a significant contributor to mortality and disability worldwide. A preliminary study showed that more than 50% of Prolanis members in Bangsah Village, Sreseh Subdistrict, Sampang Regency had high cholesterol levels; therefore, alternative supplements are needed to reduce blood cholesterol levels. Garlic is a food ingredient that is widely available in the community but has not been widely utilized as a cholesterol-lowering supplement. Garlic contains allicin, which has strong antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. It also contains ajoene, saponins, flavonoids, and various sulfur compounds that contribute to its health benefits. Studies have shown that garlic consumption can help reduce total cholesterol and LDL levels. Therefore, education on processing garlic into black garlic is highly needed to reduce cholesterol levels among hypertensive Prolanis members. The results of the community service activity showed that the program was implemented smoothly and successfully, starting from the survey and coordination stage, the initial assessment, program implementation, and evaluation. The success of this PKM activity is expected to be beneficial for the wider community, especially regarding the use of garlic to reduce cholesterol levels. The evaluation results showed a 17% reduction in the number of hypertensive Prolanis members with high cholesterol levels.

Abstract

Latar belakang: Infeksi Soil-Transmitted Helminth (STH) menjadi salah satu persoalan kesehatan masyarakat yang lazim ditemui, terutama di daerah tropis dan subtropis dengan sanitasi yang buruk. Infeksi ini bereakibat pada gangguan kesehatan, misalnya anemia, hambatan tumbuh kembang, hingga penurunan imunitas tubuh. Oleh karena itu, deteksi dini infeksi kecacingan sangat penting dilakukan untuk menunjang diagnosis dan pengendalian penyakit. Salah satu uji yang umum digunakan adalah pemeriksaan tinja secara mikroskopis, yang efisiensinya sangat bergantung pada teknik yang digunakan. Tujuan: untuk menganalisis komparasi hasil pemeriksaan tinja menggunakan metode sedimentasi NaCl 0,9%, sedimentasi NaOH 0,2%, dan flotasi NaCl jenuh dalam mendeteksi telur cacing Soil-Transmitted Helminth. Metode: eksperimental berbasis laboratorium dengan pendekatan komparatif. Sampel tinja yang telah dipastikan positif STH diperiksa menggunakan ketiga metode secara sistematis, dengan pengujian sebanyak tiga kali untuk masing-masing metode. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan uji normalitas Shapiro-Wilk, uji homogenitas, uji ANOVA One-Way, dan uji Post Hoc. Hasil: metode sedimentasi NaCl 0,9% menghasilkan rerata jumlah telur tertinggi (9,33), diikuti NaOH 0,2% (8,33), dan flotasi NaCl jenuh (4,00). Terdapat perbedaan signifikan antar metode (p = 0,007), dengan perbedaan signifikan antara metode flotasi dan kedua metode sedimentasi. Kesimpulan: bahwa metode sedimentasi NaCl 0,9% merupakan metode paling efektif dalam mendeteksi telur STH pada penelitian ini.
