Abstract

Hypertension is one of the leading non-communicable diseases causing global mortality, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The elderly, as a group vulnerable to hypertension, often lack access to education and motivation to engage in physical activities. This study aims to raise awareness among the elderly about hypertension prevention through physical activity in the form of hypertension exercises and education on the benefits of tomato juice. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method conducted in Perumahan Batara RW 13, Tasikmalaya City, targeting elderly individuals at risk of hypertension.Data were collected through participatory observation and informal interviews, then analyzed based on success indicators. The findings show that this program successfully enhanced community knowledge about hypertension, encouraged active participation in physical activities, and motivated participants to utilize tomato juice as a preventive measure against hypertension. The high enthusiasm of participants during discussions and their willingness to adopt healthy lifestyles indicated the program's success. With improvements in implementation aspects, this program has the potential to be adopted in other regions as a community empowerment strategy to enhance elderly health.

Abstract

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease with an increasing prevalence and is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. In Cikabuyutan Timur, Hegarsari Subdistrict, hypertension is a significant health problem, primarily caused by unhealthy dietary habits. As a community-based effort to control hypertension, the GEMILANG (Educational Movement and Utilization of Butterfly Pea Innovation) program was implemented through a community empowerment approach. This program includes hypertension education, training on processing butterfly pea flowers into herbal tea, and a Training of Trainer (ToT) for the Kelompok Wanita Tani (KWT) on butterfly pea cultivation techniques. The evaluation results from pre-test and post-test assessments indicated an increase in participants’ understanding of hypertension and the benefits of butterfly pea flowers, with the average pre-test score rising from 83.33 to 93.89 in the post-test. The Wilcoxon test showed a significant difference between pre-test and post-test results (p-value = 0.007). This program successfully enhanced community knowledge and skills in managing hypertension naturally. It is expected that this initiative will be sustainable through the active involvement of KWT and health cadres in promoting a healthy lifestyle based on herbal plants.
