Abstract

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a medical condition that increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. The prevalence of hypertension in Central Java in 2023 reached 31.4%, which is also estimated to apply to Banyumas. Anti-stroke exercises are one of the preventive measures because they can lower blood pressure, control cholesterol levels, and improve minor disorders in the body. The purpose of this Community Service (PkM) activity is to increase the knowledge and skills of the elderly regarding anti-stroke exercises. The PkM implementation methods included lectures, discussions, as well as pre-tests and post-tests participated in by 19 elderly people. The pre-test results showed that 84% of participants were in the low category and 16% in the sufficient category, while the post-test showed that 89% were in the high category and 11% in the sufficient category. These results indicate an increase in the elderly's knowledge about hypertension and anti-stroke exercises after the activity. The output of the PkM is the publication of an article in an accredited national journal, which is expected to be a reference for education and prevention efforts for hypertension in the elderly..

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a common health problem that can increase the risk of serious complications, including heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. In Central Java, the prevalence of hypertension reached 31.4% in 2023, indicating that approximately one in three people was affected. Elderly individuals are particularly vulnerable to hypertension and its complications due to age-related physiological changes and the presence of other risk factors. One non-pharmacological effort that can be implemented to prevent stroke and support blood pressure control is anti-stroke exercise. This activity involves simple physical movements that can help improve physical fitness, blood circulation, and functional ability in the elderly. Objective: This community service program (PkM) aimed to improve elderly people's knowledge and skills in performing anti-stroke exercises as an effort to prevent stroke and maintain health. Method: The activity was conducted using lecture, discussion, demonstration, and practice methods. Knowledge was evaluated using pre-test and post-test questionnaires administered to 19 elderly participants. Participants were also guided to practice anti-stroke exercises according to the demonstrated procedures. Results: The pre-test results showed that 84% of participants had low knowledge, while 16% had sufficient knowledge. After the educational intervention and exercise practice, 89% of participants achieved a high knowledge category, while 11% remained in the sufficient category. Conclusion: The community service program increased elderly participants' knowledge and skills regarding anti-stroke exercises and stroke prevention. Anti-stroke exercise education can be used as a simple non-pharmacological activity to support health promotion among the elderly.
