Abstract

Hypertension is a global health concern that can lead to serious complications such as stroke and heart failure. According to the WHO, 1.28 billion adults worldwide suffer from hypertension, with two-thirds living in low- and middle-income countries. Many remain unaware of their condition due to its asymptomatic nature. This study aimed to conduct blood pressure screening and assess risk factors for hypertension to increase community awareness of early detection. The community service activity was held in Tirtajaya Urban Village, Sukmajaya Subdistrict, Depok City, involving 54 participants. Data were collected through blood pressure measurements and structured questionnaires covering lifestyle, diet, and knowledge about hypertension. The program also included health education provided by pharmacists and pharmacy students, focusing on lifestyle-based prevention and management of hypertension. Results showed that more than 50% of participants had elevated blood pressure: 39% were categorized as pre-hypertensive, 28% with stage 1 hypertension, and 15% with stage 2 hypertension. About 57% of participants were physically inactive, 65% had unhealthy eating habits, and 26% were smokers. Knowledge of causes and prevention of hypertension was relatively good, though understanding of early symptoms was still limited. These findings underscore the importance of routine screening and the pharmacist’s role in community health education to help reduce hypertension prevalence.

Abstract

Penyakit ginjal kronik (PGK) merupakan salah satu masalah kesehatan global dengan prevalensi yang terus meningkat, terutama di Indonesia. Faktor risiko seperti hipertensi, diabetes, pola makan tidak sehat, serta kurangnya literasi kesehatan masyarakat menjadi penyebab utama tingginya kasus PGK. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan masyarakat mengenai pola hidup sehat sebagai upaya pencegahan penyakit ginjal. Kegiatan dilakukan di RPTRA Kampung Indah Lestari melalui metode penyuluhan interaktif yang mencakup presentasi, diskusi, pre-test, dan post-test. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan adanya peningkatan signifikan dalam tingkat pengetahuan peserta, dari 60% kategori “baik” sebelum kegiatan menjadi 90% setelah kegiatan. Edukasi mencakup pentingnya konsumsi air putih yang cukup, pengendalian asupan gula dan garam, serta penggunaan obat secara bijak. Peningkatan ini menunjukkan efektivitas pendekatan edukatif dalam meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat terhadap pencegahan PGK. Diharapkan kegiatan serupa dapat dilakukan secara berkelanjutan untuk memperluas jangkauan manfaatnya.

Abstract

AbstractThe utilization of Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA) has become a focus in efforts to improve public health through natural and independent means. This community service activity was conducted in Muaragembong, aiming to increase the community's knowledge about the benefits of TOGA and how to use it in daily life. The identified issue was the lack of understanding and skills within the community to utilize the medicinal plants available around them. The method employed in this service activity was a participatory-based extension, followed by hands-on training on how to plant, maintain, and process TOGA into beneficial herbal products. The results obtained showed a significant increase in participants' knowledge, from 33,21% in the pre-test to 64,64% in the post-test. The majority of participants now have a better understanding of the health benefits of various TOGA plants, such as turmeric, ginger, and moringa. This activity also had a positive impact on economic empowerment, with many participants planning to plant TOGA in their yards and share the knowledge with others. The importance of this result is to introduce the community to an alternative natural treatment that can support independent health, while also creating opportunities for economic empowerment through the cultivation of medicinal plants.Keywords: Family Medicinal Plants; Community empowerment; Natural health; Sustainable economy; TOGA

   Kegiatan sosialisasi pembuatan kosmetik berbasis nanopartikel memanfaatkan kekayaan hayati Indonesia telah dilaksanakan di SMK Farmasi 1 Tangerang pada 13 Juli 2025. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan siswa mengenai konsep dasar nanopartikel, pemanfaatan bahan alam Indonesia sebagai bahan aktif kosmetik, serta memperkenalkan inovasi dalam formulasi sediaan kosmetik modern. Metode yang digunakan adalah ceramah dan diskusi interaktif dengan melibatkan 52 siswa kelas XI dan XII program keahlian Farmasi. Evaluasi dilakukan melalui pretest dan posttest untuk mengukur peningkatan pemahaman peserta. Hasil menunjukkan adanya peningkatan nilai rata-rata dari 77 menjadi 79 setelah kegiatan, yang menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan peserta mengenai teknologi nanopartikel dan aplikasinya dalam kosmetik.
