Abstract
Background: Hypertension is a condition characterized by blood pressure levels exceeding the normal threshold and is a major contributor to cardiovascular diseases. Low public awareness regarding routine blood pressure monitoring has rendered hypertension a dangerous “silent killer.” Objective: To identify hypertension through blood pressure screening and to provide health education as an effort to prevent and control hypertension. Method: This community service activity was conducted at Posyandu Kenanga I, Bendan Village, on February 7, 2026, involving 35 adult and elderly participants. Blood pressure screening was performed using a digital sphygmomanometer, followed by health education for the participants. The educational intervention was delivered through lectures and interactive discussions supported by leaflet media. Result: A total of 28 participants (80%) were identified as having hypertension, while 7 participants (20%) were normotensive. Following the intervention, the number of participants with hypertension decreased to 22 (63%), while those without hypertension increased to 13 (37%). Blood pressure screening and health education improved participants’ understanding of the importance of preventing and controlling hypertension. Conclusion: Blood pressure screening plays an important role in the early detection of hypertension, while health education provides beneficial information for its prevention and management.
