<![CDATA[AbstrakPreeklampsia merupakan salah satu penyumbang utama angka kematian ibu di Indonesia. Salah satu upaya menurunkan preeklampsia adalah melalui penyuluhan terhadap kader mengenai preeklampsia, deteksi dini, serta pencegahannya. Kader merupakan perpanjangan tangan dari tenaga kesehatan di tingkat desa sehingga dapat diberdayakan dalam upaya pencegahan dan pengendalian preeklampsia, terutama dalam memberikan pemahaman kepada ibu hamil di wilayah masing-masing. Dalam pengabdian ini, dilakukan penyuluhan dan pendampingan mengenai deteksi dini preeklampsia kepada para kader. Sasaran kegiatan ini adalah para kader di 14 desa di kecamatan Padarincang, kabupaten Serang, Banten. Kegiatan ini bertujuan meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan kader mengenai pencegahan dan pengendalian preeklampsia serta deteksi dini preeklampsia pada ibu hamil melalui pemeriksaan tekanan darah dan protein urine melalui pemanfaatan support group. Kegiatan dilakukan dalam 4 tahapan yaitu pengurusan perizinan, penyuluhan, skrining preeklampsia, serta monitoring dan evaluasi keberlanjutan program. Hasil pengabdian menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan dan keterampilan kader mengenai preeklampsia, deteksi dini, dan upaya pencegahannya mengalami peningkatan sesudah diberi penyuluhan. Pengetahuan dan keterampilan kader dengan kategori baik yaitu sebesar 15% sebelum diberikan penyuluhan dan meningkat menjadi sebesar 55% setelah diberikan penyuluhan. Support group yang dibentuk terbukti efektif dalam membangun komunikasi dan koordinasi dalam upaya pencegahan dan pengendalian preeklampsia di wilayah kecamatan Padarincang. Untuk menjamin keberlanjutan program, preeclampsia support group tetap digunakan sebagai sarana koordinasi antara para kader, bidan desa, tenaga kesehatan lainnya di puskesmas, aparatur desa dan kecamatan, serta tim pengabdian.

One effort to reduce preeclampsia is through educating cadres since they are an extension of health workers so that they can be empowered in efforts to prevent and control preeclampsia, especially in providing understanding to pregnant women in their areas. In this community service, education and assistance regarding the early detection of preeclampsia were provided to cadres. The target was cadres in 14 villages in Padarincang, Serang district, Banten. This activity aimed to increase cadres' knowledge and skills regarding the prevention and control of preeclampsia as well as the early detection of preeclampsia in pregnant women through checking blood pressure and urine protein through the use of support groups. Activities were carried out in 4 stages, namely processing activity permits, counseling, preeclampsia screening, and monitoring and evaluating program sustainability. The results of the service showed that the cadres' knowledge and skills regarding preeclampsia, early detection, and prevention efforts had increased after being given counseling. The knowledge and skills of cadres in the good category were 15% before being given counseling and increased to 55% after being given counseling. The support group was proven to be effective in building communication and coordination in efforts to prevent and control preeclampsia in the Padarincang sub-district area. To ensure the continuation of the program, the support group is still used as a means of coordination between cadres, midwives, community health center authorities, village and sub-district officials, and the community service team.
