Gambaran Tekanan Darah pada Kader Kesehatan di Desa Glagahwero Kecamatan Panti Kabupaten Jember

Abstract

Cadres are volunteers whose job is to assist the community in developing the community, recruited by the community, and for the community. The majority of people in the sub-district of Panti work as farmers who have a lifestyle of consuming coffee, consuming foods high in sodium and smoking. Therefore, cadres still have the same problems related to blood pressure as the community and knowledge related to blood pressure problems is also still lacking. This study aims to determine the description of blood pressure in health cadres Glagahwero village, Panti District, Jember. The research design that the researcher uses in conducting this research is a quantitative descriptive research design with a cross sectional approach. The number of cadres that the researchers made into the population in the study was 44 health cadres. The characteristics of all respondents are women. Most of them are over 40 years old. Most of the respondents' last education was high school. The description of the respondent's blood pressure is mostly at optimal blood pressure <120 / <80 mmHg as many 12 respondents (27.3%). There is a relationship between age and blood pressure (p=0.002). There is no relationship between the last education and blood pressure (p=0.144). Nurses are expected to be able to provide information to overcome blood pressure problems in order to help solve these problems in the community
