Abstract

Research-based community service was conducted on the elderly of Dusun Kampung Godang, Pulau Lawas Village, Kampar Regency, which has a Quality Family Village (KB Village) community. The elderly have many complaints of diseases, especially hypertension. The elderly have limited knowledge of preventing neurological effects and hypertension. This paper aims to improve the quality of health of the elderly in the KB Village, focusing on avoiding neurological effects or complaints and hypertension. This elderly community is mostly women and totals 128 people. This study took a sample of 34 respondents with a maximum age of 80. The Participatory Action Research (PAR) method was carried out in a participatory manner among community respondents in a community whose enthusiasm is to encourage transformative actions to solve problems. A series of 2 activities with a time interval of 15 days showed a decrease in hypertension in the elderly. The elderly in the KB Village received efforts to prevent neurological effects through the Participatory Action Research method. Hypertension prevention strategies in KB villages can involve stakeholders in formulating educational activities to reduce the risk of hypertension for the elderly.

Abstract

The problem found in Posyandu Pudak Wangi, Lok Bahu Village, Sungai Kunjang Subdistrict, Samarinda, is the lack of cadre skills in taking anthropometric measurements. To overcome this problem, an intervention was designed in the form of anthropometric measurement training that focused on measuring body weight, height, upper arm circumference (LILA), and head circumference. The anthropometric measurement training aims to improve the skills of cadres in measuring body weight, height, upper arm circumference (LILA), and head circumference. This empowerment activity involves two main programs, namely anthropometric measurement training for cadres and making anthropometric measurement modules by cadres. The partners of this activity were seven cadres of Posyandu Pudak Wangi. Evaluation was carried out using direct observation and assessment methods to measure changes in cadres' knowledge and skills. The result of this activity was an increase in cadres' knowledge and skills related to anthropometric measurements, followed by the creation of modules as practice guidelines. This intervention is expected to contribute to improving maternal and child health services at Posyandu.
