Abstract

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease with increasing prevalence and is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, especially in the elderly. Low knowledge, unhealthy lifestyles, and suboptimal stress management often lead to uncontrolled hypertension in the community. Housewives have the potential to be empowered as a socio-religious community in efforts to control hypertension. This community service activity aims to increase the knowledge and independence of subjects in controlling hypertension through health education and the application of complementary lavender aromatherapy therapy. The activity method uses a pretest–posttest design approach without a control group, with housewives as subjects who are members of the Surah Yasin reading group. The sample was taken by accidental sampling, with a total of 50 people. Respondents were given education about hypertension and trained to use lavender aromatherapy provided by the researcher, then their blood pressure was evaluated. The instruments used were questionnaires and sphygmomanometer aneroid. The results of the activity were analyzed descriptively, showing an increase in knowledge in the good category from 26% before the activity to 78% after the activity and a decrease in average systolic blood pressure of 9.36 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure of 5.68 mmHg. This activity shows that a community-based approach through health education and lavender aromatherapy has the potential to support promotive and preventive efforts in controlling hypertension in the community.Keywords: hypertension

Abstract

A mother's knowledge of caring for young children is influenced by information. Information can provide direct knowledge gains that contribute to behavioral change, including the use of complementary therapies such as acupressure. Mothers with young children at the primary service integration cadres “Cut Muti”,  in Bendogerit Village, Blitar City, are a strategic group for empowerment because they play a central role in daily childcare. This study uses a one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design. The population consisted of 40 mothers of children under five who were registered at the the primary service integration cadres “Cut Muti”, using a total sampling technique. Data was collected using a questionnaire that measured mothers' knowledge of acupressure for managing coughs and colds in toddlers. The intervention consisted of health education thru lectures and counseling supported by leaflets, delivered individually, and conducted in a single 25-minute session. The data was analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Statistical analysis shows a significant increase in mothers' knowledge after the intervention, with a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05). This finding indicates a significant difference in knowledge levels before and after health education about acupressure therapy. Health education about acupressure effectively improves mothers' knowledge and is expected to support independent and correct home management of coughs and colds in toddlers. Future community service initiatives are recommended to expand participant coverage and strengthen community-based empowerment programs to sustainably reduce respiratory complaints in children under five in Indonesia.
