Hipertensi merupakan salah satu penyakit kronis dengan prevalensi tinggi pada kelompok lansia dan menjadi faktor risiko utama penyakit kardiovaskular. Terapi komplementer berbasis herbal, seperti bawang putih, memiliki potensi dalam membantu menurunkan tekanan darah, namun pengetahuan masyarakat masih terbatas, terutama terkait keterampilan praktis dalam pengolahan herbal. Untuk menjawab kebutuhan ini, dikembangkan Program SEHATI (Sehat dengan Herbal Sendiri) yang mengombinasikan edukasi kesehatan, pelatihan, dan pendampingan pembuatan kapsul bawang putih dengan pendekatan pemberdayaan komunitas. Program dilaksanakan pada 21 September 2024 dengan melibatkan 10 orang lansia penderita hipertensi sebagai peserta. Evaluasi dilakukan menggunakan desain pre-test dan post-test melalui kuesioner pengetahuan. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif dengan membandingkan rata-rata skor sebelum dan sesudah intervensi. Hasil menunjukkan peningkatan skor pengetahuan dari 54,0 ± 8,7 menjadi 83,5 ± 7,0 atau sebesar 54,6%. Peningkatan tertinggi terlihat pada pemahaman terkait potensi bawang putih sebagai terapi komplementer, dari 52,0 ± 9,1 menjadi 85,0 ± 6,8 (kenaikan 63,5%). Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa SEHATI tidak hanya efektif meningkatkan pemahaman lansia tentang hipertensi dan terapi herbal, tetapi juga memiliki kebaruan karena mengintegrasikan transfer teknologi sederhana dengan pemberdayaan komunitas. Dengan demikian, program ini berkontribusi pada pengembangan model terapi komplementer berbasis lokal yang mendukung kesehatan lansia sekaligus membuka peluang peningkatan kemandirian ekonomi.
SEHATI (Healthy with Your Own Herbs): Training and Assistance in Making Garlic Capsules for Hypertension Patients
Abstract
Hypertension is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases among the elderly and a major risk factor for cardiovascular disorders. Complementary therapies using herbal remedies, such as garlic, have shown potential in reducing blood pressure. However, public knowledge remains limited, particularly regarding practical skills in herbal processing. To address this gap, the SEHATI Program (Sehat dengan Herbal Sendiri/Healthy with Self-Made Herbal) was developed, combining health education, training, and mentoring in the production of garlic capsules with a community empowerment approach. The program was conducted on September 21, 2024, involving 10 elderly participants with hypertension. Evaluation employed a pre-test and post-test design using a structured knowledge questionnaire. Data were analyzed descriptively by comparing mean scores before and after the intervention. Results showed an increase in knowledge scores from 54.0 ± 8.7 to 83.5 ± 7.0, representing a 54.6% improvement. The greatest increase was observed in understanding the potential of garlic as a complementary therapy, rising from 52.0 ± 9.1 to 85.0 ± 6.8 (a 63.5% gain). These findings highlight that SEHATI is not only effective in improving elderly knowledge of hypertension and herbal therapy, but also novel in integrating simple technology transfer with community empowerment. Thus, the program contributes to the development of a locally based complementary therapy model that supports elderly health while fostering opportunities for community economic independence.
