The accuracy of blood pressure measurement determines the success of early detection of hypertension. Posyandu cadres as the frontline of health services in the community need to have good knowledge about correct blood pressure measurement procedures. This community service activity aimed to provide understanding of blood pressure measurement procedures to Posyandu cadres through theoretical education. The methods used were interactive lectures and group discussions covering patient preparation, body position, cuff size selection, measurement technique, and factors affecting results. The activity was attended by 33 Posyandu cadres in the Cempaka Community Health Center work area. The evaluation was conducted formatively through questions and answers, interactive discussions, and observations of participants' ability to re-explain the material that had been presented. The evaluation results showed that most cadres were able to identify the stages of the correct blood pressure measurement procedure, including patient preparation, body positioning, cuff size selection, and factors that influence measurement results. The theoretical education provided an initial understanding of blood pressure measurement procedures and served as a foundation before implementing practical training using the device.
