Abstract

Background: Hypertension is one of the most common non-communicable diseases among the elderly. In the working area of Padang Luar Public Health Center, 2,171 elderly people were recorded as having hypertension in 2024. One of the barriers to hypertension prevention is the limited ability of Posyandu cadres to deliver health education effectively, thus cadre empowerment through public speaking training is required. Objective: To explore in depth the empowerment of Posyandu cadres related to public speaking skills in hypertension prevention efforts. Methods: This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Informants consisted of elderly Posyandu cadres, elderly participants, the person in charge of health promotion and NCD programs at Padang Luar Public Health Center, and a public speaking expert. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, and were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Results: Public speaking training improved cadres’ understanding of the importance of verbal communication in health education. Cadres became more confident, able to organize materials, manage their voice, and adjust their speaking style according to the elderly’s condition. In addition, cadres were more active in interacting and building open communication, while the elderly began to show healthier lifestyle changes by applying the CERDIK program. Conclusion: Public speaking training supports the empowerment of elderly Posyandu cadres in hypertension prevention. Such training should be conducted in a practicebased manner with support from public health centers, local government, and related institutions.

Abstract

Obesity is a condition characterized by excessive accumulation of body fat, resulting in a body weight far above normal, indicated by a BMI > 25. Data from Lubuk Buaya Public Health Center show that the prevalence of obesity has reached 10.2%. The low levels of community knowledge and attitudes toward obesity prevention are among the main contributing factors. One innovative educational method that can be applied is the Emo-Demo (Emotional Demonstration) method, which combines emotional and participatory approaches. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the improvement in community knowledge and attitudes regarding obesity prevention after being provided education using Emo-Demo media in the working area of Lubuk Buaya Public Health Center. Methods: This research used a mixed-method design with a quasi-experimental approach and an exploratory case study. A total of 70 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and questionnaires. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon test. Results: The results of this study produced Emo-Demo educational media for community obesity prevention. The median knowledge score increased from 14.00 to 18.00, and the attitude score increased from 63.00 to 81.00 after the Emo-Demo education. Statistical tests showed a significant improvement (p-value 0,0001<0,05) in both knowledge and attitudes. Conclusion: In conclusion, there was an increase in community knowledge and attitudes regarding obesity prevention through Emo-Demo educational media in the working area of Lubuk Buaya Public Health Center, Padang. It is hoped that educational media using the Emo-Demo method can be further developed and utilized as an effort to prevent various diseases.
