Abstract

Hypertension and acute respiratory infections (ARI) are two major public health issues in Indonesia. Hypertension is often called the “silent killer,” with a prevalence of up to 34.1% among the adult population. Meanwhile, the high incidence of ARI in communities driven particularly by air pollution and open-waste burning poses a significant challenge.This community service initiative aims to enhance public knowledge and awareness of healthy lifestyles to prevent hypertension, as well as environmental management and respiratory hygiene to reduce the risk of ARI. The project was carried out by thematic community service students (KKN Tematik) in Rapambinopaka Village, Lalonggasumeeto District, under the supervision of multidisciplinary faculty advisors in nursing, public health, environmental sanitation, and pharmacy. Methods included interactive health education, blood pressure screening, healthy lifestyle demonstrations, and advocacy on waste management to prevent air pollution that triggers ARI. Implementation was structured around lectures, Q&A sessions, poster distribution, and both pre‑test and post‑tests to assess changes in participants’ understanding. Results showed a significant increase in knowledge. In terms of hypertension, participants demonstrated a positive shift in awareness regarding routine blood pressure monitoring and adapting a low‑salt diet. Meanwhile, in the ARI intervention component, community members improved their ability to sort waste and avoid burning, aligning with an effective environmental management model. Conclusion is the integrated intervention combining health education and environmental management successfully enhanced preventive attitudes and behaviors toward hypertension and ARI. A key recommendation is the continued involvement of local health cadres and integration with Puskesmas or Posyandu facilities to ensure sustainability and expand impact.

Abstract

Most degenerative diseases are linked to excess free radicals generated by the body's metabolism or exposure to external factors. Antioxidants are used to help neutralize free radicals and treat bacterial infections. Andiroba bark (Carapa guianensis) is one of the plants used empirically by the people of the Province of Jeneponto to treat various diseases. This study aims to determine whether the ethanol extract of andiroba bark meets the standardization requirements and exhibits antioxidant activity, and to identify its ability to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Propionibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Escherichia coli. The results of the research showed that the results of specific and non-specific standardization of the ethanol extract from andiroba bark met the specified requirements, the ethanol extract had an antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 15.985 μg/mL, which was included in the group of very strong antioxidants and could inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Propionibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Escherichia coli bacteria at concentrations of 0.01 g/mL, 0.05 g/mL, and 0.1 g/mL. Overall, the ethanol extract from andiroba bark meets the standardization requirements and exhibits antibacterial activity.
