Abstract

High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a medical condition in which blood pressure increases above normal, namely 140/90 mmHg, and carries a risk of morbidity or death (mortality). This disease is often referred to as the silent disease. Irreversible hypertension and modifiable hypertension are two categories of hypertension risk factors. Age, gender, ethnicity and hereditary factors are causes of hypertension that cannot be changed. Smoking, obesity, monotonous lifestyle and stress are modifiable causes of hypertension. In Namorih village, Pancur Batu District, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra, this quantitative research aims to determine the relationship between the incidence of hypertension in older people and the influence of their diet and lifestyle. This type of research is quantitative analytical research with a cross-sectional study research design, which means data is collected simultaneously or all at once. The Namorih Village community produced 60 research samples. Interview results showed that 52 out of 60 adults over 60 years who suffer from hypertension smoke, like salty foods, and rarely exercise. Through education, encouraging a healthy lifestyle, and regular blood pressure checks, it is important to treat hypertension in the elderly. Knowing these risk factors can help prevent and better control hypertension.

Abstract

Acute Respiratory Tract Infection (ARI) remains a significant public health problem in Indonesia, especially among vulnerable groups such as toddlers and the elderly. Low public knowledge about ARI prevention is a risk factor contributing to the high morbidity rate. This study aims to determine the effect of education using pocket books on increasing public knowledge about ARI in Pangkalan Dodek Baru Village, Batu Bara Regency. The study used a pre-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test approach on 58 respondents selected using an accidental sampling technique. The research instrument was a validated closed-ended questionnaire, and data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed that before the intervention, 63.8% of respondents had good knowledge, 20.6% had sufficient knowledge, and 15.6% had insufficient knowledge. After the intervention, all respondents (100%) had good knowledge. The average pre-test score was 7.66, increasing to 9.88 in the post-test, with the Wilcoxon test yielding a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05). Thus, it can be concluded that education using pocket books has a significant impact on increasing public knowledge about ARI. This simple educational medium can be used as an alternative promotional and preventive strategy in efforts to control ARI in the community.
