Abstract

Tuberculosis (TBC) tetap menjadi tantangan kesehatan global sebagai penyakit menular penyebab utama kematian. Penyakit kronis yang disebabkan oleh Mycobacterium tuberculosis ini memerlukan penanganan kompleks. Wilayah Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur, khususnya di Kelurahan Oesapa, Kota Kupang, data menunjukkan konsentrasi kasus TBC yang tinggi. Tingginya angka insidensi ini diidentifikasi memiliki korelasi kuat dengan rendahnya tingkat literasi kesehatan masyarakat, terutama pemahaman mengenai gejala klinis, mekanisme penularan, dan pentingnya kepatuhan pengobatan. Permasalahan tersebut akan diberikan intervensi hingga implementasi untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan sikap preventif remaja terhadap TBC. Intervensi ini dirancang sebagai program pemberdayaan komprehensif, yang mengintegrasikan metode penyuluhan kesehatan, konseling individual, dan pemberdayaan remaja sebagai kader sebaya penggerak kesehatan. Pelaksanaan kegiatan mengadopsi pendekatan partisipatif, mencakup penyuluhan interaktif, diskusi kelompok terarah (FGD), dan pelatihan intensif bagi kader sebaya. Remaja tidak hanya menjadi target penerima informasi, tetapi juga dilibatkan secara aktif sebagai agen perubahan dalam diseminasi informasi serta pemantauan proaktif terhadap individu bergejala TBC di komunitas, dengan perhatian khusus pada populasi anak-anak yang rentan. Evaluasi pasca-intervensi menunjukkan peningkatan pemahaman TBC remaja yang sangat signifikan, dari 35% (pra-tes) menjadi 85% (pasca-tes). Kader sebaya yang terlatih terbukti mampu menyampaikan informasi pencegahan dan pengendalian TBC di lingkungan sosial mereka. Studi ini mengkonfirmasi bahwa model pemberdayaan remaja melalui edukasi dan pelatihan terstruktur efektif meningkatkan pengetahuan, sikap, dan kesadaran kolektif. Kader sebaya diharapkan berfungsi sebagai pionir penerapan Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat (PHBS) serta akselerator dalam upaya pencegahan penularan TBC di masyarakat.

Abstract

Blood pressure is the pressure exerted by blood against the walls of blood vessels and is generated by the pressure of blood against the walls of arteries when the blood is pumped from the heart to the tissues. The amount of pressure varies depending on the blood vessels and heart rate. Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that triggers health problems that occur throughout the world. Kupang Regency is one of the districts with the highest cases of hypertension in NTT province with 1,582 cases. Hypertension is closely related to hemoglobin levels, hematocrit values and erythrocyte counts. There is a significant positive relationship between hematocrit values and diastolic blood pressure. Increased blood pressure has a significant positive relationship between hemoglobin levels, hematocrit values and erythrocyte counts. Apart from that, factors that influence hypertension with hemoglobin levels, hematocrit values and erythrocyte counts are age, gender, circulating fibrinogen and red blood cell aggregation. The aim of this research is to determine the difference in hematocrit values in sufferers of grade one and degree two hypertension. This research uses a cross-sectional analytical research design based on primary data originating from examination results in Bone Village, Nekamese District, Kupang Regency in April 2023 which meets the research sample criteria. Sampling for this research was determined using the Purposive Sampling technique. The research respondents were 30 hypertension sufferers in Bone Village, Nekamese District, Kupang Regency. Research on blood pressure and hematocrit values was carried out on all respondents. The results showed that hypertension sufferers consisted of 5 (17%) men and 25 (83%) women with the highest age of hypertension sufferers being > 56 years old, 24 people (80%). There were 9 (30%) people suffering from grade 1 hypertension and 21 (70%) people suffering from degree 2 hypertension with the hematocrit value of most hypertensive sufferers still within normal limits, 18 (60%) and low hematocrit values as many as 12 (40%). The results of this study were processed using SPSS software with Mann-Whitney Test analysis and presented descriptively regarding the analysis of hematocrit values in sufferers of degree one and degree two hypertension. The results of statistical analysis show p-value > 0.05, which means there is no significant difference between variables and vice versa. The results of the study showed that there was no difference in hematocrit values in sufferers of degree one and degree two hypertension with a value of p=0.295. In this study, hypertension sufferers generally had normal hematocrit values, but in second-degree hypertension sufferers the hematocrit values tended to be low.

Abstract

Stunting remains one of the major chronic nutritional problems in Indonesia, including in Oesapa Village, Kelapa Lima District, Kupang City, East Nusa Tenggara Province. This condition is not only caused by inadequate nutritional intake but is also closely related to chronic infections resulting from poor hygiene and sanitation, particularly intestinal parasitic diseases. To reduce the risk of parasitic infections and improve children’s nutritional status, preventive efforts through education and health promotion are essential.This community service activity aimed to increase public awareness and knowledge, especially among parents and caregivers of stunted children, regarding the importance of maintaining hygiene and sanitation to prevent intestinal parasitic diseases. The methods used included participatory approaches such as interactive lectures, group discussions, and practical demonstrations of clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS), food hygiene, clean water management, and household waste disposal. Evaluation was conducted using pre-test and post-test instruments to measure changes in participants’ knowledge.The activities, carried out from May to September 2025 in Oesapa Village, showed a significant improvement in community understanding of hygiene and sanitation practices. Participants demonstrated greater commitment to maintaining environmental cleanliness and adopting healthier daily behaviors. Continuous educational efforts and multisectoral support are needed to help reduce the prevalence of stunting in the region
