Abstract
The location of community service was carried out at the RPTRA Kampung Indah Lestari Sunter
Agung, North Jakarta. The survey during the visit found that residents still did not understand the
health problem of hypertension and its prevention. The community service method used was health
education about the dangers and prevention of hypertension, and measuring blood pressure to
detect the presence of residents who have hypertension. The results of community service could be
seen from the increase in the understanding of residents who are tested with a post-test. This
showed that health promotion activities were an effort to help the community in preventing the
incidence of hypertension in the community by increasing knowledge. It was hoped that changes in
behavior and attitudes will occur in carrying out healthy lifestyle behaviors by consuming low-salt
foods so that blood pressure can decreased to normal. Furthermore, it was also hoped that the
health promotion program on hypertension can continue to be carried out by community health
service officers, especially by the Puskesmas.
