Abstract

Background: Java Island is a highly disaster-prone area in Indonesia due to its location in the convergence zone, where two tectonic plates meet. Mangrove planting and earthquake education are two natural disaster mitigation efforts that complement each other in reducing the risk and impact of disasters, especially in coastal areas that are vulnerable to earthquakes and tsunamis. Objectives: The purpose of this activity is to increase community knowledge by educating about natural disaster mitigation and earthquakes, as well as preventing sea abrasion disasters through mangrove planting. Method: The method of implementing community service activities includes education with lecture methods and mangrove planting. The activity was attended by approximately 28 people in Klayar Hamlet, Sidokelar Village, Paciran Subdistrict, Lamongan, East Java. Results: The post-test results showed an increase in knowledge about earthquake disaster mitigation. Mangrove planting activities totaling 110 trees ran smoothly. Evaluation and follow-up are carried out with a questionnaire while tree planting is evaluated once a year to see the results. Conclusion: Mangrove planting activities totaling 110 trees ran smoothly. Evaluation and follow-up are carried out with a questionnaire while tree planting is evaluated once a year to see the results.

Abstract

Background: Flood disasters present a recurring challenge in Indonesia, particularly in low-lying regions like Sumberagung Village, Lamongan Regency, which is highly vulnerable to shallow river overflows. A critical barrier to community resilience is the lack of public understanding regarding disaster preparedness. Objective: This community service initiative aimed to enhance residents' knowledge through flood mitigation education and a targeted reforestation program. Methods: The intervention combined educational sessions on local flood risks and mitigation techniques with a collaborative tree-planting initiative. Diverse local stakeholders, including village officials and community members, actively participated in planting 65 trees at designated landslide-prone points. The efficacy of the educational component was evaluated using a quantitative pre-test and post-test design. Results: The evaluation demonstrated a significant increase in community knowledge, with average assessment scores rising from 51.87 in the pre-test to 76.87 in the post-test. Conclusion: The results indicate that structured educational activities are highly effective in raising public awareness and fostering a culture of disaster mitigation. To ensure long-term environmental conservation, future programs must establish community-led monitoring frameworks to sustain the newly planted trees.

Abstract

The HEART score is a clinical instrument used to assess the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome, including those with coronary heart disease (CHD). One of the factors associated with the HEART score is blood pressure. This study aimed to determine the relationship between blood pressure and the HEART score among patients with CHD. This study employed an analytical correlational design with a cross-sectional approach involving 52 patients with CHD selected using a consecutive sampling technique. Blood pressure was measured using a sphygmomanometer, while the HEART score was assessed using the HEART score questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Spearman's rank correlation test. The results showed that 68% of the patients had hypertension, and 73% were classified as having a high risk of major adverse cardiovascular events. Spearman's rank correlation analysis demonstrated a significant relationship between both systolic and diastolic blood pressure and the HEART score (p=0.000), with moderate correlation strength for systolic blood pressure (r=0.503) and diastolic blood pressure (r=0.584). High blood pressure contributes to the acceleration of atherosclerosis and increases cardiac workload in patients with CHD. Patients with higher blood pressure tend to have a greater risk of cardiovascular events. Therefore, intensive monitoring of both blood pressure and the HEART score is recommended in patients with CHD.
