Abstract

Hypertension and hypercholesterolemia are common health problems in Argo Mulyo Village, Sepaku Sub-district, North Penajam Paser Regency. These diseases require a preventive approach through the utilization of family medicinal plants (TOGA) such as ginger, turmeric, and temulawak, which have been proven effective in reducing blood pressure and cholesterol levels. This empowerment activity aims to increase community knowledge, particularly among the TP-PKK group, regarding the use of TOGA as a preventive measure against hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. The activity was conducted on September 7-8, 2024, in Argo Mulyo Village. The methods used included education, training on the production of herbal powder from ginger, turmeric, and temulawak, and the planting of TOGA in the village land. Evaluation was carried out through pretest and posttest assessments to measure the participants' knowledge improvement. The results of the educational activity related to hypertension and hypercholesterolemia showed a significant increase in participants' knowledge, with an average pretest score of 60.23 rising to 76.51 in the posttest. The results of the herbal powder-making activity also showed an improvement in knowledge, with the pretest average score at 71.76 and 92.94 in the posttest. Additionally, the herbal powder products produced by the participants met the established standards. The planting of TOGA in the village land was also successfully implemented, indicating the success of this activity in raising community awareness and skills in utilizing local resources. In conclusion, this TOGA-based empowerment not only contributes to improving community health but also holds the potential to enhance economic welfare through herbal production.

Abstract

Background : Access to clean water and adequate sanitation practices are essential in preventing environment-related diseases. However, awareness among communities in rural regarding water quality remains limited. Therefore, community-based interventions are needed to improve clean water literacy and healthy sanitation behaviors in Loa Ulung Village, Kutai Kartanegara, East Kalimantan. Objective : The Water Saver Heroes program aims to increase community knowledge and skills regarding clean water criteria and the application of simple water filtration technologies using local materials. This program also encourages young people to play role as agents of sustainable education. Research Methods/ Implementation Methods : The method used was a pre-post test design inlving 27 participants. Participants received instruction through interactive lectures, demonstrations on making simple water filters, group discussions, and educational media. Changes in participants' understanding were evaluated using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test to measure the effectiveness of the education. Results : No participants had a decrease in their scores. There were 26 participants whose scores increased in knowledge (mean rank = 13.50, total ranking = 351.00), and 1 participant did not experience any change. These findings indicate that the education provided was successful in improving participants' understanding of the importance of clean water and how to make water filters. Conclusion/Lesson Learned : The Water Saver Heroes program has proven effective in increasing community knowledge, skills, and awareness about clean water and sanitation. In addition, this program demonstrates the important role of youth as agents of sustainable change in the community, who can serve as models for similar programs in other areas.
