Introduction

Skrining kesehatan penduduk di bukit rawi, palangka raya, kalimantan tengah. Edukasi & skrining kesehatan di Bukit Rawi, Palangka Raya, Kalimantan Tengah. Analisis prevalensi hipertensi, diabetes, hiperurisemia & rekomendasi program desa.

Abstract

Hipertensi, diabetes, dan hiperurisemia merupakan tiga gangguan yang banyak muncul saat seseorang menginjak usia lanjut, bahkan di masa kini banyak orang yang mengidap ketiganya sebelum lanjut usia. Pengabdian masyarakat berupa edukasi dan skrining kesehatan merupakan langkah yang diambil untuk mengedukasi masyarakat sekitar Kalimantan Tengah untuk lebih menjaga kesehatan dirinya menghindari ketiga penyakit hipertensi, diabetes, dan hiperurisemia, juga untuk mengetahui tingkat penderita ketiganya di sekitar Kalimantan Tengah. Pengabdian dilakukan dengan edukasi dan skrining kesehatan menggunakan metode penelitian deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Pemeriksaan tekanan darah menggunakan sphygmomanometer aneroid, sedangkan pemeriksaan gula darah dan asam urat menggunakan Point of Care Testing (POCT). Dari pemeriksaan yang telah dilakukan didapati bahwa di Desa Bukit Rawi, hipertensi dan hiperurisemia lebih banyak ditemukan pada perempuan dan diabetes lebih banyak ditemukan pada laki-laki. Oleh karena ini, peneliti menyarankan program desa yang dapat menanggulangi hal tersebut.

Review

The paper "Skrining Kesehatan Penduduk di Bukit Rawi, Palangka Raya, Kalimantan Tengah" addresses a highly pertinent public health challenge by investigating the prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, and hyperuricemia within a specific Indonesian community. The authors appropriately highlight the increasing incidence of these non-communicable diseases at younger ages, underscoring the urgency of early detection and intervention. Framed as a community service initiative, the study's dual objective—to educate residents on preventive health and to ascertain the burden of these conditions—is both commendable and crucial for regional health planning. A significant strength of this work lies in its direct engagement with the community through health education and accessible screening. The methodology, employing standard tools such as aneroid sphygmomanometers for blood pressure and Point of Care Testing for blood glucose and uric acid, indicates a practical and effective approach to data collection in a field setting. The initial findings are particularly insightful: the observation that hypertension and hyperuricemia are more prevalent in women, while diabetes is more common in men, provides valuable gender-disaggregated data that can inform the development of targeted, gender-sensitive public health programs. While the abstract provides a compelling overview, a full manuscript would benefit from further elaboration on certain aspects. Specifically, clarifying the "qualitative approach" within a descriptive study that primarily reports quantitative screening results would enhance methodological rigor. Additionally, future iterations or the full report should detail the scope and content of the educational interventions, as well as concrete examples or frameworks for the suggested "village programs" to address the identified health disparities. Nonetheless, this initiative represents a vital step in understanding and responding to the health needs of the Bukit Rawi community, providing a solid foundation for subsequent, more comprehensive public health strategies.
