Abstract

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that is commonly found in the community and has the risk of causing serious complications if not treated properly. One of the effective non-pharmacological methods to lower blood pressure is (slow deep breathing). However, education and practice of this technique is still limited at the community level. This community service activity aims to increase community knowledge about slow deep breathing techniques as an effort to control hypertension. The method used is education and training directly to the community in Manang Village, Grogol District, Sukoharjo Regency. Evaluation was carried out by comparing the results of the pre-test and post-test of the participants. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in participants' understanding, with an increase in the percentage of correct answers in the post-test compared to the pre-test. Participants also showed high enthusiasm during discussion and practice sessions. This activity succeeded in improving public health literacy related to hypertension management and encouraging sustainable independent habits in slow deep breathing practice. The conclusion of this activity shows that community-based participatory education is effective for improving knowledge and skills in hypertension management. It is recommended that similar activities be carried out periodically and involve local health cadres to maintain program sustainability.

Abstract

Hypertension and diabetes mellitus are among the most prevalent non-communicable diseases (NCDs) worldwide, strongly influenced by dietary patterns and environmental factors. The prevalence of these conditions in Saudi Arabia remains notably high. Preventive efforts are essential and can be strengthened through routine anthropometric and biochemical monitoring, alongside education on balanced and healthy diets. A substantial number of Indonesian citizens particularly migrant workers and students reside in Saudi Arabia, making early NCD prevention crucial for sustaining their long-term health and productivity. This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge and awareness of Indonesian workers and students in Saudi Arabia regarding NCD prevention. The activities included anthropometric assessments, biochemical examinations, and educational sessions on infectious diseases and associated risk factors. The program was conducted in collaboration with PCIM Saudi Arabia and study groups consisting of mothers and students in Mecca. A total of 11 sessions were held in both online and offline formats. The webinar series comprised five sessions featuring speakers from PCIM, PPMI, and the PKMKI Team, and attracted 87 participants, including UMS students, university students, and migrant workers in Saudi Arabia. Pre- and post-test results demonstrated a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge following the webinars. Participants showed high enthusiasm, despite sessions being scheduled in the evening. This program is expected to enhance awareness among students and migrant workers about the importance of monitoring their nutritional status and maintaining a healthy diet as key strategies for preventing non-communicable.
