Abstract

Hypertension is a significant global public health concern that often remains asymptomatic in its early stages, emphasizing the need for proactive prevention and management strategies. This community service program, Together Against Hypertension, was conducted in Jambi City in collaboration with the Nursing Student Association of Universitas Jambi, aiming to enhance public awareness of hypertension and identify individuals at risk through targeted blood pressure screenings. The program employed a two-pronged approach: (1) educational sessions focused on the etiology, risk factors, complications, and prevention of hypertension, with an emphasis on lifestyle modifications; and (2) blood pressure screenings to detect undiagnosed hypertension or prehypertension cases within the community. Participants included diverse demographic groups, with nursing students acting as facilitators under professional supervision. The findings revealed that 35% of participants exhibited elevated blood pressure, with 20% previously unaware of their hypertensive status. Educational activities significantly improved participants' understanding of hypertension and its management, fostering greater adherence to regular monitoring and healthy behaviors. This initiative underscores the importance of community-based interventions in addressing hypertension and provides a scalable model for similar programs aimed at improving population health outcomes.

Abstract

HIV/AIDS remains a global public health problem and has a significant impact on adolescents. During this phase, adolescents are vulnerable to risky behaviors that can increase the chance of HIV/AIDS transmission. One psychosocial factor that plays a crucial role in shaping preventive behavior is self-efficacy, which is an individual's belief in their ability to consistently take preventive measures. Low self-efficacy can hinder adolescents from optimally adopting HIV/AIDS preventive behaviors. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the relationship between self-efficacy and HIV/AIDS preventive behaviors among adolescents at SMAN 5, Jambi City.This study used a correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. A sample of 98 respondents was obtained through total sampling. Data collection was conducted using the Self-Efficacy Assessment in HIV Risk Behavior Prevention (EDP2B-HIV) questionnaire and the Sexual Behavioral Abstinence HIV/AIDS Questionnaire (SBAHAQ). Bivariate data analysis was performed using the Gamma correlation test to determine the relationship between self-efficacy and HIV/AIDS preventive behaviors. Univariate analysis showed that the majority of respondents had moderate levels of self-efficacy (71 respondents (71.4%), and moderate levels of HIV/AIDS prevention behavior (48 respondents (48.0%). Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between self-efficacy and HIV/AIDS prevention behavior in adolescents (p-value = 0.003; r = 0.551). This finding indicates that the higher the level of self-efficacy in adolescents, the better the HIV/AIDS prevention behavior they implement.Self-efficacy plays a crucial role in shaping and enhancing HIV/AIDS prevention behavior in adolescents. Adolescents with higher levels of self-efficacy tend to demonstrate better and more consistent prevention behavior.
