Abstract

Hypertension is a condition characterized by increased blood pressure due to the heart working harder to pump blood in order to meet the body’s oxygen and nutrient needs. This condition can lead to serious complications, such as damage to the heart, nerves, and kidneys, if not properly managed. Data from RT 04, RT 05, and RT 06 in Gembor Village show that the prevalence of hypertension remains relatively high. This community aimed to enhance community knowledge and awareness regarding hypertension control through health education. The intervention consisted of blood pressure measurement, interactive health counseling, and focused group discussions (FGDs) on cardiovascular health. The results showed an increase in participants’ knowledge about hypertension and its management, as well as greater awareness of the importance of prevention and blood pressure control. This activity is expected to encourage the community to adopt a sustainable healthy lifestyle as an effort to reduce the incidence of hypertension in the area.

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetic foot ulcers often occur due to a combination of neuropathy (sensory, motor, autonomic) and ischemia. This condition is further exacerbated by infection which generally requires proper care for wound healing. Calcium Alginate Dressing is a group of exudate and odor-absorbent dressings that aim to accelerate the healing process of diabetic mellitus wounds, this support material is made from seaweed with hemostatic properties. Objective: To determine the effect of using calcium alginate dressings in the healing process of diabetic ulcer wounds. Method: This study used a literature review method by searching for articles in the Google Scholar, PubMed, and Research Gate databases with a publication range of 2015-2025. Of the 18 articles found, 8 articles met the inclusion criteria. Result: The use of calcium alginate has been shown to have an effect on diabetic wound healing by creating a moist and protected wound environment, which reduces the risk of infection and improves patient comfort. Conclusion: Calcium alginate creates a moist wound environment, facilitates keratinocyte proliferation and epithelial cell migration, which supports the epithelialization process. The use of calcium alginate as a wound dressing in diabetic wounds provides significant results in accelerating the healing process.
