Hiperlipidemia adalah suatu keadaan yang menunjukkan adanya peningkatan lemak darah termasuk kolesterol dan trigliserida atau peningkatan dari lipoprotein-lipoprotein khusus. Hiperlipidemia merupakan salah satu faktor resiko penyebab penyakit jantung koroner di samping faktor-faktor lain seperti hipertensi, merokok, riwayat keluarga, obesitas, stress, gaya hidup, jenis kelamin dan diabetes militus. Kadar kolesterol darah yang tinggi dapat mengendap pada dinding pembuluh darah bagian dalam, dan selanjutnya akan menghambat aliran darah dan oksigen sehingga mengganggu metabolisme sel otot jantung. Mengkonsumsi makanan tinggi kolesterol dan lemak jenuh menyebabkan peningkatan kolesterol intrasel, dan akan disimpan sebagai ester kolesterol yang menyebabkan penurunan transkripsi gen reseptor High Density-Lipoprotein (HDL) dan menurunkan sintesis LDL, hal ini menyebabkan kadar LDL-kolesterol di dalam sirkulasi akan semakin meningkat. Pengabdian masyarakat dilakukan di Kelurahan Margorejo yang masih bagian dari wilayah kerja Puskesmas Margorejo Kecamatan Metro Selatan. Metode yang di gunakan adalah Pendidikan Kesehatan yang diawali dengan pemeriksaan kolesterol dan dilanjutkan dengan penyuluhan (ceramah diskusi dan Tanya jawab). Hasil kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat seluruh perserta dapat menyerap informasi dengan baik mereka mampu dalam memilih dan memilah makanan yang mereka mesti konsumsi, serta mengetahui aktifitas fisik yang dapat menurunkan kadar kolestaerol dalam darah
Background: hypertension is a public health problem that is often found in developed and developing countries. There have been many managements of hypertension using non-pharmacological therapy because of their few side effects. Moreover, using more than one therapy in several studies has proven effective. Purpose: to determine the effectiveness of feet soak with warm water and murottal Al-Qur'an to reduce blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Methods: this study used Quasy Experiments with Nonequivalent Control Group Design. These samples were 36 respondents. The sampling technique used purposive sampling and the tests used Paired Sample T-Test and Independent Sample T-Test. Results: the results showed that blood pressure before being given combination therapy with feet soak and murottal Al-Qur'an, showed average value 152.33 (systolic) and 94.17 (diastolic), while after being given combination therapy, the average value becomes 135.17 (systolic) and 81.11 (diastolic) means it has decreased with p value = 0.000<0.05. In control group, there was no decreased change in diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.100). Conclusion: the combination of feet soak therapy and murrotal Al-Qur'an is effective in reducing systolic and diastolic blood pressure in hypertensive patients. This combination therapy can be applied easily using standard operating procedures that have been made in this study.
