Abstract

Hypertension is a major non-communicable disease often referred to as a silent killer because it may occur without noticeable symptoms until complications develop. This community service activity aimed to improve public knowledge and awareness regarding blood pressure control among participants of Posbindu Pos 2 Melati, Borongan Village, Polanharjo District, Klaten Regency. The activity included blood pressure screening, pre-test, hypertension education using PowerPoint presentations and educational hand fans, interactive discussions, post-test, and distribution of educational media. A total of 24 participants attended the activity, while 18 participants completed the pre-test and post-test evaluation. The average knowledge score increased from 81.1 before the education session to 93.3 after the intervention, indicating an average improvement of 12.2 points. These findings indicate that hypertension education can improve participants’ understanding of hypertension prevention, healthy lifestyles, medication adherence, and routine blood pressure monitoring.

Abstract

Anemia remains a common health problem among adolescent girls due to increased iron requirements during the growth period and blood loss during menstruation. Poor adherence to Iron Supplement Tablet (IST) consumption is one of the factors contributing to the increased risk of anemia. This community service program aimed to improve adolescent girl’s knowledge and awareness of the importance of IST consumption as an effort to prevent anemia. The program involved 30 female students from SMA Negeri 1 Karangnongko and was conducted throught health education using PowerPoint presentations, posters, leaflets, interactive discussions, question and answer sessions, and educational games. The effectiveness of the program was evaluated using pre-test and post-test asessements, followed by the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results showed that the mean knowledge score increased from 92.67 to 94.67, although the improvement was not statistically significant (p=0.574). Nevertheless, the program successfully strengthened participant’s understanding and increased their awareness of the importance of regular IST consumption as a strategy to prevent anemia among adolescent girls.
