Abstract

Health education plays a vital role in raising public awareness about non-communicable diseases such as hypertension, high cholesterol, and diabetes mellitus, which are interrelated and pose risks of severe complications like heart disease and stroke. This community service activity, conducted on November 28, 2024, at the Dukuh Kupang Tengah XVI Prayer Fellowship in Surabaya, aimed to enhance knowledge and prevention of non-communicable diseases. The methods included group health education sessions and health screenings, comprising blood pressure measurement, blood sugar testing, and cholesterol assessment. A total of 22 out of 35 invitees participated, and the results showed that 12 individuals had blood pressure >140/90 mmHg, 11 had cholesterol levels >200 mg/dL, and 6 had elevated random blood sugar levels. The activities involved attendance registration, pre-test questionnaires, health education sessions, post-test questionnaires, health screenings, and distribution of educational leaflets. The findings highlight the importance of maintaining a healthy diet and regular physical activity to prevent the impact of non-communicable diseases. This activity is expected to increase public awareness of the importance of health management and the prevention of further complications.

Abstract

Hypertension exercise is one of the non-pharmacological therapies that helps vasodilation and increase elasticity in blood vessels so that blood pressure decreases. This activity was carried out with the aim of increasing knowledge and the role of active participants in preventing hypertension through hypertension exercise. The activity was carried out on November 30, 2024. The participants were 32 elderly and elderly companion cadres. The methods used were lectures, conferences, and discussions. Evaluation activities were carried out by observing participants in doing gymnastics, measuring blood pressure before and after doing gymnastics, and providing pretest and posttest questionnaires. The participants were very enthusiastic in doing gymnastics movements and were able to follow the directions of the gymnastics instructor. The results of the implementation team's observations showed that as many as 10 participants (76.9%) of the 13 people who took part in hypertension gymnastics were able to follow the gymnastics movements correctly. A total of 8 participants (61.5%) experienced a decrease in blood pressure after doing hypertension exercises, and the participants' scores increased by 5 to 8 points. From this activity, it can be concluded that hypertension exercises help lower participants' blood pressure.
