Abstract
Riset Kesehatan Dasar (Riskesdas) 2018 shows that hypertension is one of the highest risk factors for noncommunicable diseases at productive age. It is refferred to as silent killer as it signs are not obvious, yet its effect can be fatal. The monthly health report of Pakisaji District Public Health Center shows hypertension as the most common disease in the district (2696 cases), with one village, Jatisari, has the lowest hypertension healthcare services (4.96%). This two-phase study aimed to improve the knowledge of productive age villagers in Jatisari. We performed the pre-intervention phase using a pre-experimental design and a quantitative approach. Data collection determined the target demographic, knowledge, attitude, and behavior. Samples were chosen consecutively. The intervention phase used a one-group pretest-posttest design. Findings showed that the villagers had the lowest knowledge level on hypertension and lacked exercise. The socialization and exercise improved the knowledge level and community behavior.
