Hipertensi dan penyakit jantung menjadi permasalahan kesehatan yang umum dialami kelompok lanjut usia sehingga diperlukan edukasi yang sederhana, kontekstual, dan sesuai dengan karakteristik peserta. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan meningkatkan pemahaman lansia mengenai hipertensi, penyakit jantung, faktor risiko, komplikasi, serta pemanfaatan tanaman obat secara tepat sebagai bagian dari upaya pemeliharaan kesehatan. Kegiatan dilaksanakan di Posyandu Cepiring, Desa Landungsari, Kecamatan Dau, Kabupaten Malang, dengan melibatkan 20 peserta lansia. Pelaksanaan terdiri atas edukasi melalui ceramah, diskusi, dan tanya jawab, kemudian dilanjutkan dengan demonstrasi pemanfaatan tanaman obat, meliputi jahe, temulawak, kunyit, kayu manis, secang, dan serai. Evaluasi dilakukan secara kualitatif melalui observasi keterlibatan peserta. Hasil menunjukkan peserta aktif berdiskusi, mengajukan pertanyaan, mengaitkan materi dengan pengalaman kesehatan sehari-hari, serta mengikuti demonstrasi. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan edukatif kontekstual dapat diterapkan pada Posyandu Lansia, meskipun peningkatan pengetahuan belum dapat diukur secara kuantitatif karena tidak tersedia data pretest-posttest.
Education on Heart Disease and Hypertension and the Use of Medicinal Plants among Older Adults at Landungsari Posyandu, Malang
Hypertension and heart disease are common health problems among older adults, highlighting the need for simple, contextual, and participant-oriented health education. This community service program aimed to improve older adults’ understanding of hypertension, heart disease, risk factors, complications, and the appropriate use of medicinal plants as part of health maintenance. The program was conducted at Cepiring Elderly Health Post (Posyandu Cepiring), Landungsari Village, Dau District, Malang Regency, involving 20 older adult participants. The activities consisted of educational sessions using lectures, discussions, and question-and-answer sessions, followed by demonstrations on the use of medicinal plants, including ginger, temulawak, turmeric, cinnamon, sappan wood, and lemongrass. Evaluation was conducted qualitatively through observations of participant engagement. The results indicated that participants actively engaged in discussions, asked questions about hypertension, heart disease, and stroke, related the material to their everyday health experiences, and participated in the medicinal plant demonstrations. These findings suggest that contextual educational approaches can be effectively implemented in elderly health post activities, although improvements in knowledge could not be quantitatively determined because pretest and posttest data were not collected
