Edukasi Hipertensi dan Evaluasi Pemahaman Pascaedukasi di RSUD Bakti Pajajaran

Hypertension may remain asymptomatic, making blood pressure monitoring and appropriate medication use essential educational messages. This community service activity provided hypertension education and described participants’ immediate post-education understanding, satisfaction, and intended actions. The activity was conducted on 23 September 2026 in the neurology outpatient waiting area of RSUD Bakti Pajajaran, Bogor Regency, targeting patients and family members. Topics covered hypertension recognition, treatment, prevention, and warning signs. A descriptive, single post-education evaluation included 28 participants and used ten true–false statements, six satisfaction items rated from 1 to 4, intended-action choices, and brief feedback. Available responses were analyzed descriptively. Mean immediate post-education understanding was 88.21 ± 9.83 out of 100; 26 participants (92.86%) scored ≥80 under the program’s internal classification. Correct responses were least frequent for recognizing differences in antihypertensive medication instructions (42.86%) and understanding that absence of symptoms does not ensure normal blood pressure (64.29%). Mean satisfaction among 27 respondents was 3.26 ± 0.78. Improving diet (67.86%), obtaining adequate sleep (64.29%), and limiting salt (60.71%) were the most frequently intended actions; routine blood pressure checks were selected by 46.43%. Six participants requested further information. Findings inform reinforcement of asymptomatic hypertension, individualized medication counseling, and jointly planned monitoring. Findings are limited to 28 participants at one site. Scores represent understanding at assessment, rather than gains attributable to education; behavior change, knowledge retention, and blood pressure changes were not evaluated.
