Abstract

Abstract. This study aims to analyze the effect of health education on salted fish consumption in improving knowledge among patients with hypertension. The research used a pre-test and post-test design with 40 respondents selected through accidental sampling at Barombong Public Health Center, Makassar. Data analysis using the McNemar test showed a p-value of 0.000 (< α = 0.05), indicating a significant increase in knowledge after the educational intervention. A total of 21 respondents improved from poor to good knowledge. These findings suggest that nutrition education related to salted fish consumption can serve as an effective contextual learning resource for hypertension prevention. This locally relevant educational approach supports nurses’ roles in health promotion and can be developed into practical learning materials or media in community-based nursing care. Thus, the study reinforces the importance of contextual nutrition education in promotive and preventive health interventions.Keywords: health education, hypertension, salted fish, knowledge

Abstract

Abstract. This study aims to integrate research findings on dust hazard perception and compliance with Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) use as contextual learning in biology education. A descriptive-qualitative approach with quantitative support was applied to 141 workers in the HPAL unit of PT. X, West Sumbawa. Data on dust hazard perception and RPE compliance were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using correlation and regression tests. The results revealed a significant relationship, showing that workers with higher risk perception were six times more compliant than those with lower perception. These findings highlight the relevance of real health issues in enhancing scientific literacy, understanding of respiratory physiology, and preventive awareness in respiratory health education.Keywords: contextual learning, dust hazard perception, respiratory health, RPE compliance, scientific literacy.
