Abstrak

Keterlibatan semua komponen di masyarakat termasuk remaja penting untuk mengurangi tingginya kematian akibat serangan jantung. Namun berbagai program kesehatan pada anak sekolah belum menyentuh topik tersebut. Melalui pengabdian masyarakat dengan pendidikan kesehatan berbasis pendekatan partisipatif diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kemampuan remaja dalam penanganan serangan jantung. Pendekatan partisipatif melibatkan secara penuh peran semua komponen terkait dalam merencanakan, melaksanakan dan mengevaluasi program. Prosedur program yang dijalankan meliputi tahap persiapan, perekrutan peserta, pelatihan, serta monitoring evaluasi. Hasil perekrutan mendapatkan peserta sejumlah 56 siswa yang aktif dalam kegiatan Palang Merah Remaja. Pengukuran awal menunjukkan 87,86% siswa memiliki pengetahuan dan kemampuan yang kurang dalam penyakit jantung koroner. Peningkatan siknifikan ditunjukkan setelah program dijalankan, dimana terjadi peningkatan pada katagori baik sebesar 70%. Metode yang digunakan dapat dikatakan efektif dalam peningkatan kemampuan remaja. Perlu ada tindakan berkelanjutan pada program khususnya peningkatan keterlibatan remaja pria dan penguatan motivasi siswa untuk menyebarkan pengetahuan yang dimiliki dan mengasah ketrampilan melalui program pembinaan berkelanjutan.
