Abstract

Diet DASH (Dietary Approaches To Stop Hypertension) is one method to lower blood pressure in individuals with hypertension. In addition, dietary factors (dietary compliance) are essential to consider. Individuals with hypertension should adhere to the DASH diet to prevent further complications. The implementation method in the community service program was providing health education on DASH diet application through lectures and questions and answers. The participants were 10 individuals with hypertension at Brigjen Katamso RT 23 RW 05 Kedung Rejo Village, Waru District, Sidoarjo Regency. Before health education on the DASH diet, most participants (60%) had stage 1 hypertension. Meanwhile, most participants (50%) were categorized in pre-hypertension after health education. The Wilcoxon SignedRank Test test resulted in p= 0.003. Thus, there was an effect of health education on the DASH diet on blood pressure. In addition, before health education on the DASH diet, most respondents (50%) had a food consumption pattern that triggers hypertension. Meanwhile, most respondents (90%) had a good food consumption pattern after the health education. Thus, there was a change in food consumption patterns in participants. Health education on the DASH diet increased knowledge in individuals with hypertension. Increased knowledge encouraged participants to adjust their eating patterns as recommended in the DASH diet guide book. In conclusion, health education on the DASH diet can lower blood pressure in individuals with hypertension. Further community service activity should increase the number of participants and be more routine in its implementation to be helpful for the wider community.
