<![CDATA[Abstrak: Kasus Penyakit Tidak Menular (PTM) seperti hipertensi dan diabetes melitus terus meningkat di Kelurahan Baiya. Rendahnya pengetahuan masyarakat mengenai gaya hidup sehat dan deteksi dini, serta terbatasnya peran kader kesehatan, memperburuk situasi ini. Selain itu, cakupan Inisiasi Menyusu Dini (IMD) dan pemberian ASI eksklusif masih rendah karena kurangnya edukasi bagi ibu hamil. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan meningkatkan kapasitas kader kesehatan dalam skrining PTM dan memperkuat pengetahuan ibu hamil terkait IMD. Metode yang digunakan meliputi sosialisasi, penyuluhan interaktif, dan pelatihan praktik bagi 20 warga usia ≥35 tahun, 5 pemuda, dan 10 ibu hamil. Evaluasi dilakukan melalui pre-test dan post-test. Hasil menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan PTM pada masyarakat dari 36% menjadi 88%, pengetahuan IMD/ASI eksklusif pada ibu hamil meningkat dari 50% menjadi 100%, serta 100% kader mampu melakukan skrining tekanan darah dan perhitungan IMT. Intervensi ini terbukti meningkatkan kesadaran kesehatan dan keterampilan kader secara signifikan.Abstract: Cases of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus continue to increase in Baiya Village. The low public knowledge about healthy lifestyles and early detection, as well as the limited role of health cadres, exacerbate this situation. In addition, the coverage of Early Breastfeeding Initiation (IMD) and exclusive breastfeeding is still low due to the lack of education for pregnant women. This service activity aims to increase the capacity of health cadres in NCD screening and strengthen pregnant women's knowledge related to IMD. The methods used included socialization, interactive counseling, and practical training for 20 residents aged ≥35 years, 5 youth, and 10 pregnant women. Evaluation is carried out through pre-test and post-test. The results showed an increase in NCD knowledge in the community from 36% to 88%, exclusive knowledge of IMD/ASI in pregnant women increased from 50% to 100%, and 100% of cadres were able to conduct blood pressure screening and BMI calculations. This intervention has been shown to significantly increase health awareness and skills of cadres.]]>
