Abstract

Hypertension is a prevalent non-communicable disease that can lead to various complications if left uncontrolled. Limited knowledge regarding hypertension and blood pressure management can hinder the community's ability to maintain their health. This study aimed to implement health education to improve knowledge and blood pressure control among hypertensive patients in the working area of ​​the Maccini Sawah Community Health Center (Puskesmas). A pre- and post-test approach was employed with five hypertensive respondents. Assessments involved a knowledge questionnaire and blood pressure measurements taken before and after the intervention. Health education was delivered via a door-to-door counseling method using leaflets containing information on hypertension, blood pressure measurement and control, healthy lifestyle practices, and complication prevention. The results indicated that prior to the education, two respondents (40%) possessed good knowledge, while three (60%) had poor knowledge. Following the education, the number of respondents with good knowledge increased to four (80%). Furthermore, measurements showed that the respondents' blood pressure levels were lower after the education compared to before. In conclusion, the implementation of health education through counseling and leaflets can enhance knowledge and assist in blood pressure control among hypertensive patients.
