The purpose of this activity is to enhance the community's understanding of stroke prevention to avoid its complications. This activity was carried out in Bada Village, Aceh Besar. The participants who attended in person were 18 residents of Bada Village. The method of this community service activity was conducted in the form of counseling and discussion.The event took place on August 14, 2024, starting at 09:30 AM until it concluded. The activity began by registering the participants, followed by an explanation of the event's objectives and material related to stroke, its causes, and complications. From the event, it was found that the community's understanding of poor dietary habits (low in fiber), low physical activity, and excessive salt use in cooking was lacking.

Abstract

Hypertension is the most common health problem in the world. Approximately one million people worldwide, or one in every four people, suffer from this disease. Hypertension not only gradually reduces the severity of the condition but also contributes to the development of other diseases that cause increased blood pressure and organ damage, such as stroke in the brain, coronary heart disease in the heart, and heart muscle damage. Management of hypertensive patients can be done with a non-pharmacological approach. One traditional medicine that can lower blood pressure is red ginger, which is one of the herbal therapies for treating hypertension. The success of healthcare workers in carrying out their role is expected to help patients overcome hypertension after being given intervention. Based on the results of community service activities in Gampong Aron, Kuta Baro, Aceh Besar, it can be concluded that the community has gained understanding in identifying hypertension and ways to treat hypertension with herbal remedies.
