Abstract

Hypertension is one of the leading non-communicable diseases contributing to high morbidity and mortality rates in Indonesia. Natural management of hypertension through lifestyle modifications and the consumption of healthy foods is increasingly favored as a complementary therapy. Cucumber juice is known to contain active compounds with the potential to lower blood pressure. This community service program aimed to provide education and introduce cucumber juice as a natural alternative for reducing blood pressure among individuals with hypertension in Ciomas, Bogor. A total of 40 hypertensive participants took part in activities that included educational sessions, demonstrations on how to prepare cucumber juice, and blood pressure measurements before and after the intervention. The results showed an average decrease of 14.8 mmHg in systolic blood pressure and 8.4 mmHg in diastolic blood pressure after consuming cucumber juice for seven consecutive days. Additionally, participants' knowledge regarding hypertension and the benefits of cucumber juice significantly improved, as evidenced by pre-test and post-test assessments. This activity demonstrates that cucumber juice can serve as an effective natural alternative to help lower blood pressure, and highlights the importance of education in raising public awareness about hypertension management. Further research with a larger sample size and extended duration is recommended to validate these findings.

Abstract

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease requiring long-term management and is often accompanied by psychological problems such as stress and anxiety. Poor mental health can affect treatment adherence and reduce patients’ quality of life. Family plays a vital role as the primary support system in helping individuals adapt to chronic conditions. This community service activity aimed to strengthen the role of family in supporting the mental health of patients with hypertension. The program was conducted in Plombokan Subdistrict, Semarang City, on November 26–27, 2025, involving 45 participants, including patients and their family members aged from middle adulthood to pre-elderly. Methods used were health education, interactive discussions, and family counseling. Evaluation was conducted descriptively by measuring family knowledge and patients’ mental health before and after the intervention. Results showed increased family knowledge and awareness, along with reduced mild stress and anxiety among patients. A family-based approach is effective as a promotive and preventive community strategy.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease requires patients undergoing hemodialysis to adhere to fluid and dietary self-management in order to maintain their health condition. Patient activation is considered an important factor in improving patients’ ability to independently manage their health. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between patient activation and fluid diet self-management among patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis at Husada Hospital, Jakarta. A correlational analytic method with a cross-sectional design was used, involving 124 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Patient Activation Measure-13 (PAM-13) and the Fluid Control in Hemodialysis Patients Scale (FCHPS). The data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank Correlation test. The results showed that 93.5% of respondents had good patient activation, while 75.8% demonstrated good fluid diet self-management. Statistical analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between patient activation and fluid diet self-management (p < 0.001; r = 0.326). These findings indicate that higher patient activation is associated with better fluid diet self-management among chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis.
