Abstract

Abstract: Floods are natural disasters that consistently dominate disaster events in Indonesia and have a significant impact on economic, social, environmental, health, and educational aspects. Data from the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) shows that floods cause damage to infrastructure, loss of assets, disruption of economic activities, and an increased risk of post-disaster illness and fatalities. Gorontalo Province is an area with a high level of flood vulnerability, especially Gorontalo City. Based on Gorontalo Provincial Statistics data in 2024, there were 9 sub-districts affected by floods, 47 out of 50 villages submerged, and as many as 39,784 people affected. This flood condition not only has an impact on the residential environment, but also threatens public facilities such as schools. Standing water in the school environment has the potential to damage educational infrastructure and increase the risk of diseases such as diarrhea, acute respiratory infections (ARI), leptospirosis, and skin diseases. Therefore, the involvement of schools in flood disaster mitigation efforts is very important. Schools have a strategic role as a center for disaster education and behavior change through increased knowledge, preparedness, and disaster mitigation simulations. Integrated disaster education in the school environment is expected to be able to increase the preparedness of school residents and effectively reduce the impact of floods.

Abstract

Hypertension is one of the chronic diseases that requires long-term management because it can cause complications if not controlled. One of the important factors in blood pressure control is the patient's adherence to taking antihypertensive drugs regularly. Patients who are members of the Chronic Disease Management Program (Prolanis) are expected to have better blood pressure control through routine health monitoring and continuous education. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of compliance with hypertension medication and the blood pressure of Prolanis patients in the Working Area of the Tilango Health Center, Gorontalo Regency. This study is a quantitative research using a correlational analytical design with a cross sectional approach, involving 53 respondents who were taken using purposive sampling techniques. The results showed that the majority of respondents had medication adherence in the moderate category as many as 29 people (54.7%), while the majority of respondents' blood pressure was in the mild category as many as 27 people (50.9%). Based on the results of the Chi-Square test, a p value of < 0.05 was obtained, so it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between the level of compliance with taking hypertension medication and the blood pressure of Prolanis patients in the Tilango Health Center Working Area, Gorontalo Regency, where the better the patient's level of adherence in taking medication, the more controlled the patient's blood pressure.
