Abstract
Background: Hypertension or high blood pressure is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world and is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and a leading cause of death. The low level of public understanding of risk factors, symptoms, and prevention of hypertension has an impact on complications. Interpersonal Communication (KAP) is a health education strategy based on direct interaction that aims to increase public awareness and understanding through more effective and participatory two-way communication. Objective: To analyze the effectiveness of KAP in increasing public knowledge regarding hypertension in Gampong Cot Mesjid, Lueng Bata District, Banda Aceh City. Method: using a descriptive approach with a paired t-test design (pre-test and post-test). Respondents consisted of 11 people in Gampong Cot Mesjid, who were given education using the KAP method through interactive sessions, group discussions, educational games, and songs. Data were collected through a questionnaire that measured the level of knowledge before and after the intervention. Result: there was a significant increase in respondents' knowledge regarding hypertension after being given education through the KAP method. The average pre-test score before the intervention was 55.91% increasing to 77.00% (p = 0.000), which means that counseling using the KAP method is effective and there is a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test results. Conclusion: Interpersonal Communication (KAP) has proven to be effective as an educational strategy in increasing public awareness and understanding of hypertension. With interactive two-way communication, participants find it easier to understand and remember the information provided. This approach can be applied more widely in other health education programs to increase public awareness of various chronic diseases.
