Abstract

Hypertension or high blood pressure is the result of systolic and diastolic blood pressure that is too high ≥140/90 mmHg. Hypertension is one of the causes of premature death worldwide Reducing the prevalence of hypertension by 33% in 2020-2030 is one of the global targets of non-communicable diseases. Blood pressure (BP) measurements performed by individuals and families have a high potential to improve the diagnosis and management of hypertension. The implementation of blood pressure measurements is carried out through increasing education and training for individuals and families in measuring blood pressure independently. Early detection through self-measurement of blood pressure and control of hypertension by health services is an effort to control hypertension. This study aimed was to identify the effect of blood pressure measurement training on early detection and control efforts for hypertensive patients at health service facilities. This research uses a pre-experimental research design with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sampling technique used a purposive sampling method. with a total sample 24 respondents. The form of treatment is providing training to measure blood pressure using a digital blood pressure monitor. Before the training was conducted, the respondents' ability  to measure BP was measured first through a pre-test (initial observation before the intervention, after which the intervention was given (BP measurement), then a post-test (final observation) was conducted after the treatment was given, using the same measuring instrument. The result of this study, there was an effect of blood pressure measurement training on early detection and control efforts of hypertension patients in health care facilities with a p-value of 0.000. Independent blood pressure measurement training in individuals with hypertension has a positive impact on increasing knowledge and changing individual behavior in conducting early detection and control efforts of hypertension in healthcare facilities.

Abstract

Stunting merupakan kondisi gagal tumbuh pada anak balita akibat kekurangan gizi kronis terutama dalam 1000 hari pertama kehidupan. Indonesia adalah salah satu negara dengan masalah malnutrisi tertinggi dan juga menempati urutan ketiga dengan angka stunting tertinggi yakni 36,4% atau sekitar 9 juta kasus. Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur menduduki urutan pertama dengan angka kasus gizi buruk dan gizi kurang tertinggi pada Baduta (bawah dua tahun) yakni 6,9% untuk gizi buruk dan 17,6% untuk gizi kurang. Dari angka ini, sebanyak 17,45% Baduta dengan gizi buruk dan kurang berada di Sumba Timur. Berdasarkan data hasil screening tim pengabdian, kejadian stunting cukup tinggi dengan jumlah kasus 156 kasus dan dari jumlah tersebut 95 kasus terdapat Desa Temu Kecamatan Kanatang. Selain itu, terdapat 3 balita Bawah Garis Merah (BGM) dan 5 balita tidak naik BB (2T) yang tidak hanya beresiko tinggi, namun juga memperbesar potensi meningkatnya angka stunting. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk mencegah kejadian stunting melalui pendampingan keluarga balita risiko stunting. Berdasarkan hasil kegiatan disimpulkan bahwa pelaksanaan kegiatan berjalan dengan baik dan metode yang digunakan efektif dimana terdapat peningkatan pengetahuan keluarga tentang stunting, pemilihan dan pengolahan makanan dengan memanfaatkan sumber pangan lokal bagi baduta, dan seluruh sasaran memiliki dapur hidup.

Abstract

Malaria adalah penyakit yang disebabkan oleh parasit Plasmodium dan ditularkan melalui gigitan nyamuk Anopheles betina. Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) memiliki jumlah kasus malaria tertinggi kedua setelah Papua, dengan dua kabupaten, Sumba Barat Daya dan Sumba Timur, mencatatkan kasus terbanyak pada 2022. Malaria dapat menyerang semua golongan umur. Upaya pemberantasan malaria memerlukan partisipasi masyarakat, termasuk anak-anak sebagai agen perubahan. Edukasi dini tentang malaria dapat membentuk penyuluh cilik yang menyebarkan informasi kesehatan kepada keluarga dan lingkungan sekitar. Tujuan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah memberikan edukasi kepada siswa SD mengenai penyebab, gejala, pencegahan, dan pengobatan malaria, serta melatih mereka menjadi "Penyuluh Cilik Malaria." Kegiatan dilakukan melalui penyuluhan interaktif mengenai siklus nyamuk, pencegahan gigitan nyamuk, dan pentingnya kelambu serta kebersihan lingkungan. Anak-anak juga diajak menanam tanaman yang tidak disukai nyamuk. Setelah satu bulan, tim pengabdian melakukan evaluasi untuk menilai keberhasilan kegiatan, yang juga dimonitor oleh guru. Hasil pengabdian menunjukkan bahwa anak-anak dapat menyebarkan pengetahuan tentang malaria kepada keluarga mereka dan berkontribusi dalam mengurangi jumlah nyamuk di lingkungan rumah.
