Abstract

Introduction: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a major global health threat, contributing to over 36 million deaths annually. Hypertension, a key NCD, is associated with poor health outcomes, including reduced quality of life and increased mortality. This community service is carried out with a prevention strategy as an effort to overcome problems through health education. Health education is not only useful in increasing knowledge but has the potential to change a person's behavior in the long run. Objective: The purpose of this service was to increase public knowledge about hypertension prevention and management to encourage healthy lifestyle practices that reduce the prevalence of hypertension. Method: This public service was conducted at Madrasah At-Thohariyah, Kampung Salaksa, Tasikmalaya, Indonesia, on December 8, 2024. The activities included pre-test and post-test assessments, lectures, discussions, and leaflet distribution to educate participants on hypertension, its risks, and prevention methods. Result: A significant increase in participants' knowledge was evaluated through pre-test and post-test with the percentage of individuals in the good knowledge category increasing from 37.5% (pre-test) to 68.75% (post-test). This increase in knowledge demonstrates the effectiveness of the combination of lectures and leaflets in delivering health education. The positive impact arising from the implementation of community service is clear evidence of the success and achievement of goals. Conclusion: Community education on hypertension through engaging and accessible methods can effectively enhance public awareness and promote behavior changes to prevent and control hypertension.

Abstract

Abstrak Cuci tangan merupakan salah satu perilaku hidup bersih dan sehat (PHBS) yang sederhana namun efektif dalam mencegah penularan penyakit menular pada anak. Akan tetapi, hasil observasi awal dengan pihak sekolah menunjukkan bahwa terdapat kurangnya kesadaran dalam praktik mencuci tangan yang benar. Masalah kebersihan tangan masih menjadi tantangan kesehatan di lingkungan sekolah dasar yang dapat meningkatkan risiko penyebaran penyakit menular pada anak-anak. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan tingkat pengetahuan siswa di dua sekolah dasar mengenai perilaku mencuci tangan sebagai bagian dari perilaku hidup bersih dan sehat (PHBS). Metode penyampaian yang digunakan berupa ceramah edukatif, diskusi interaktif, serta praktik mencuci tangan dengan benar yang dilaksanakan di SDN 1 dan SDN 2 Sukaratu dengan mitra pengabdian yaitu pihak sekolah dan guru. Peserta kegiatan Adalah siswa kelas 4-6 sebanyak 146 siswa. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pengetahuan siswa tentang pentingnya mencuci tangan. Di SDN 1, kategori Baik dan Sangat Baik meningkat dari 49,31% menjadi 54,79%, sedangkan di SDN 2 meningkat dari 56,16% menjadi 67,12%. Kebiasaan praktik mencuci tangan dengan benar juga meningkat, ditunjukkan dengan berkurangnya siswa pada kategori Kurang dan Sangat Kurang di kedua sekolah. Dengan demikian, sosialisasi PHBS efektif meningkatkan pengetahuan dan kebiasaan mencuci tangan, meskipun tidak terdapat perbedaan signifikan antara kedua sekolah. Kata Kunci: edukasi kesehatan; kebersihan tangan; perilaku hidup bersih dan sehat; sekolah dasar. Abstract Handwashing is one of the simple yet effective clean and healthy living behaviors (PHBS) to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases among children. However, initial observations with the schools revealed a lack of awareness regarding proper handwashing practices. Hand hygiene remains a health challenge in elementary schools, increasing the risk of infectious disease transmission. This community service activity aimed to compare students’ knowledge levels in two elementary schools regarding handwashing as part of PHBS. The methods included educational lectures, interactive discussions, and direct handwashing practice, conducted at SDN 1 and SDN 2 Sukaratu in collaboration with teachers and school partners. The participants were 146 students from grades 4-6. The results showed an increase in students’ knowledge of the importance of handwashing. At SDN 1, the Good and Very Good categories rose from 49.31% to 54.79%, while at SDN 2, they increased from 56.16% to 67.12%. Proper handwashing habits also improved, as indicated by a reduction in the Poor and Very Poor categories in both schools. In conclusion, PHBS socialization effectively improved students’ knowledge and handwashing habits, although no significant differences were found between the two schools. Keywords: health education; hand hygiene; clean and healthy living behavior; elementary school; students.
