Key result

Community health education improves hypertension knowledge by ~7% alongside a high ~76% screening rate.

n=95

Why the study?

Hypertension and diabetes mellitus are prevalent in the community, and integrative health education approaches for awareness and early risk detection need evaluation.

Key Points

To improve community awareness and detect early risks of hypertension and diabetes mellitus through an integrated health education and screening program.
Conducted an integrated program consisting of healthy exercise, physician-led lectures, individual consultations, educational leaflets, and free mini health screenings in Caringin Village.
Evaluated participant comprehension using identical 6-item pre-tests and post-tests (3 questions on hypertension and 3 on diabetes, scored 1–5) and measured community reception with a satisfaction survey.
Health screenings revealed elevated systolic blood pressure (>120 mmHg) in 76% of residents, with 38% meeting criteria for hypertension (≥140 mmHg).
Blood sugar assessments showed that 17% of residents had above-normal glucose levels, with 7% requiring further medical evaluation.
Participant comprehension scores improved by an average of 7% following the educational sessions, and >90% of residents reported satisfaction with the program.

Type

Cross-Sectional (n=95)

Multicenter

Structured PICO

Population

95 community residents, predominantly female (78.9%), underwent health screening and education for hypertension and diabetes.

Intervention

Community health education on hypertension and diabetes mellitus, including healthy exercises, leaflet distribution, and free medical check-ups.

Outcome

Prevalence of hypertension and high blood sugar, knowledge improvement (pre/post-test scores), and participant satisfaction.surrogate

A community health screening program in an Indonesian village revealed a high prevalence of undiagnosed pre-hypertension and hypertension, highlighting the necessity of grassroots educational and early detection initiatives.

Limitations

Discrepancy in the number of participants taking the pretest versus the post-test.
Not all residents attended the full educational sessions before undergoing health screening.
Potential misinterpretation of pretest and post-test questions by older residents.
Discrepancies in the number of participants who took the pretest and post-test
Misinterpretation of the pretest and post-test questions by residents, especially the elderly
Not all participants attended the entire series of educational activities

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Community screening detects prevalent hypertension; leaves open whether education improves control in rigorous trials.

Health education and screening program was evaluated on Prevalence of elevated blood pressure (>120 mmHg) and increase in health knowledge. A community health program revealed a high prevalence of elevated blood pressure with 76% of residents having systolic pressure above 120 mmHg, while health education improved average knowledge scores by 7%.
