Pemberdayaan Masyarakat sebagai Upaya Deteksi Dini Faktor Risiko Hipertensi

Abstract

AbstrakHipertensi masih merupakan masalah kesehatan yang penting. Prevalensi hipertensi nasional di Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY) sebesar 35,8% dengan proporsi kasus hipertensi yang telah didiagnosis oleh tenaga kesehatan sebesar 24%. Hal ini berarti bahwa masih ada 76,0% kasus hipertensi di masyarakat yang belum terdiagnosis. Tingginya angka insidensi hipertensi di propinsi DIY tersebut turut mempengaruhi insidensi penyakit ini di kabupaten Bantul. Pola makan yang tidak sehat dan kurang terjaga, perilaku merokok, stress psikososial karena faktor ekonomi, dan minimnya sarana & prasarana kesehatan merupakan faktor pemicu tingginya insidensi penyakit hipertensi di wilayah ini. Pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memberikan tambahan pengetahuan faktor risiko, menanggulangi penyakit hipertensi dan komplikasi hipertensi serta pelatihan kader kesehatan terkait penyakit hipertensi. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini meliputi: melakukan pemeriksaan kesehatan dan faktor risiko hipertensi (berat badan, tinggi badan, dan body mass index/BMI) untuk skrining hipertensi, promosi kesehatan berupa penyuluhan hipertensi, pelatihan pengukuran tekanan darah yang baik dan benar, dan pembuatan dan pembagian leaflet hipertensi. Sebanyak 105 orang yang diperiksa tekanan darahnya, didapatkan 31 orang menderita hipertensi. Rentang umur kurang dari 40 tahun didapatkan 8 orang penderita hipertensi. Sedangkan kelompok umur 45-55 tahun juga didapatkan 8 orang dengan hipertensi. Terdapat 15 orang dengan hipertensi pada kelompok usia lebih dari 75 tahun.
