| dc.description.abstract | Optimizing the role of the community in the Healthy Community Movement (HCM) through
the facilitation of health cadres at the Integrated Development Post (IDP) of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) to become an effective solution of health promotion program
using empowerment and partnerships in the community as a form of active participation in
health. The purpose of this community service was to increase community empowerment and
partnerships in overcoming NCDs problems through HCM to reduce hypertension in
Glagahwero Village, Panti District, Jember Regency. The activities were carried out for 3
months (August - November 2020) in the form of education and health counseling about HCM
and hypertension, anti-hypertensive exercise, hypertension diet, empowerment of family
cooking in the management of family salt consumption, and IDP of NCDs. The fostered village
service activities involved 70 target groups. The results were found that the community was
able to do HCM to control blood pressure by doing anti-hypertensive exercises once a week,
mothers were able to prepare a low-salt menu in their families, and IDP of NCDs activities were
carried out once a month. The further impact was a decrease in mean systolic blood pressure
(130.5 ± 22.5 mmHg Vs. 122.3 ± 18.3 mmHg; p = <0.001) and diastolic (81.83 ± 10.4 mmHg Vs. 79.4
± 9.1 mmHg; p = 0.015), decreased body weight (60.6 ± 12.1 kg Vs. 59.7 ± 12 kg; p <0.001), and
decreased abdominal circumference (88.5 ± 14.2 cm Vs 82.7 ± 14.1 cm; p <0.001) after 3 months of
community service development. Thus, it can be concluded that the partnership and
empowerment of the community in HCM is able to prevent PTM, so it is suggested that IDP of
NCDs activities need to be carried out in a sustainable manner in the community. | en_US |
