Abstract

The prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia is still very high. The government has made various efforts to reduce the incidence of hypertension or prevent complications of hypertension. One of the efforts made is the Prolanis program implemented at the Puskesmas. Activities carried out in Prolanis include education on the care of patients with chronic diseases such as self-acupressure and herbal ingredients. self-acupressure is a massage technique at a certain point to help overcome various health problems and disease complaints, while herbal ingredients are all forms of traditional medicine that have been used for generations and have proven safe to overcome various specific health problems. The method used in this community service is self-acupressure training and making safe herbal concoctions for people with hypertension so that they can be applied at home safely by referring to a book published by the Ministry of health. The massage is done in the area of the head, shoulders, back of the hands, and back of the feet with a pressing motion for approximately 30 counts The herbs given were honey and nutmeg as well as gotu kola and garlic. The results of this community service were 16 participants with hypertension who received independent acupressure training and made herbal concoctions to reduce head pain and improve the quality of sleep of hypertensive patients. Most of the participants were female (87.5%), with a pre-elderly age category of 62.5%. A total of 37.5% were in the category of grade 2 hypertension with most experiencing mild headache (43.75%) and mild sleep disturbances (37.5%). This activity implies that participants get simple skills in self-care of hypertensive patients that are easy, cheap, and safe to overcome some of the symptoms that often appear, namely headache and sleep disturbances. Recommendations that can be given are integrated services between programs at the puskesmas, in this case, the traditional health service program and the disease control program, so that patients are exposed to traditional treatment methods in addition to conventional treatment.

Abstract

Hipertensi dan diabetes melitus merupakan permasalahan kesehatan masyarakat yang signifikan di antara populasi pra-lansia di Indonesia. Program pengabdian masyarakat di Desa Tratebang, Pekalongan, bertujuan untuk memberdayakan masyarakat pra-lansia dan kader kesehatan melalui pengelolaan kebun herbal dengan sistem irigasi kapiler. Program ini dilaksanakan pada bulan September hingga November 2024 dengan melibatkan 30 orang pra-lansia dan 10 orang kader kesehatan. Kegiatan yang dilakukan meliputi edukasi mengenai penuaan yang sehat, pelatihan budidaya tanaman herbal dengan sistem irigasi kapiler, pembuatan kompos organik, pengolahan minuman herbal dan simplisia, serta pelatihan branding dan pemasaran. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa terdapat peningkatan penanaman tanaman herbal di antara para peserta, peningkatan keterampilan dalam memproduksi dan memasarkan simplisia, dan manajemen kesehatan yang lebih baik untuk hipertensi dan diabetes melitus. Prevalensi hipertensi menurun dari 52% menjadi 39%, dan kadar glukosa darah puasa menurun secara signifikan (p = 0,049). Meskipun penurunan tekanan darah tidak signifikan secara statistik, para peserta melaporkan peningkatan kesehatan dan berkurangnya gejala. Proyek ini menyoroti potensi pengobatan herbal berbasis komunitas untuk manajemen penyakit kronis dan penuaan yang sehat, di samping membentuk kelompok kesehatan herbal yang berkelanjutan dalam layanan kesehatan lokal.
