Health Education and Celery Juice Therapy for Hypertension in Agam Regency, West Sumatra
Main Article Content
Abstract
Hypertension is a prevalent public health issue requiring comprehensive management, including strengthening family involvement and utilizing herbal-based interventions. This Community Service Program (PKM) aimed to enhance adherence among hypertensive patients through two approaches: family support education and celery juice intervention. The implementation was conducted in two stages: first, educating patients' families on the importance of providing informational and emotional support to hypertensive family members; followed by a seven-day consecutive administration of celery juice. A total of 32 hypertensive patients and 32 accompanying family members participated in the program. The results indicated an increased understanding among families regarding their role in supporting medication adherence and lifestyle modifications in patients, as reflected in a 47% increase in post-education knowledge scores (from a mean score of 58.4 to 86.1). Additionally, the celery juice intervention demonstrated a trend of reduced blood pressure in most participants, with mean systolic pressure decreasing from 152 mmHg to 138 mmHg and diastolic pressure from 94 mmHg to 88 mmHg after seven days. This activity concludes that educational approaches and herbal interventions can synergistically contribute to hypertension management at the family level, supported by measurable improvements in knowledge and blood pressure indicators.
