PEMBINAAN KADER POSBINDU DALAM DETEKSI DINI FAKTOR RISIKO PENYAKIT TIDAK MENULAR

Abstrak: Penyakit Tidak Menular (PTM) di Kecamatan Sukaraja, Kabupaten Seluma, terus meningkat, sementara pemahaman masyarakat dan keterampilan kader Posbindu dalam deteksi dini masih terbatas. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan kader Posbindu dalam mendeteksi faktor risiko PTM serta mendorong partisipasi masyarakat. Metode yang digunakan meliputi sosialisasi, pelatihan, dan pendampingan. Mitra kegiatan adalah Pemerintah Kecamatan Sukaraja dengan melibatkan 10 kader Posbindu dari 2 Posbindu. Evaluasi dilakukan menggunakan kuesioner pretest–posttest 20 pertanyaan untuk menilai pengetahuan kader dan observasi pelaksanaan kegiatan Posbindu. Kegiatan berlangsung selama April–Oktober 2024. Hasil menunjukkan peningkatan skor pengetahuan rata-rata dari 44,17 sebelum pelatihan menjadi 74,17 setelah pelatihan, atau meningkat sekitar 68%, serta peningkatan keterampilan kader dalam pemeriksaan tekanan darah, gula darah, dan pengisian KMS FR-PTM, serta meningkatnya jumlah masyarakat yang berpartisipasi dalam kegiatan Posbindu. Kegiatan ini efektif memperkuat peran kader dalam deteksi dini faktor risiko PTM dan perlu ditindaklanjuti melalui pelatihan berkelanjutan, penguatan kolaborasi lintas sektor, peningkatan akses layanan kesehatan, serta edukasi masyarakat secara rutin. Abstract: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Sukaraja District, Seluma Regency, continue to increase, while community awareness and the early detection skills of Posbindu cadres remain limited. This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of Posbindu cadres in detecting NCD risk factors and to encourage community participation. The methods included socialization, training, and mentoring. The activity was conducted in partnership with the Sukaraja District Government and involved 10 Posbindu cadres from two Posbindu units. Evaluation was carried out using pretest–posttest questionnaires to assess cadres’ knowledge and observation of Posbindu implementation. The program was conducted from April to October 2024. The results showed an improvement in cadres’ knowledge and skills in measuring blood pressure, blood glucose, and completing the NCD Risk Factor Monitoring Card (KMS FR-PTM), as well as an increase in community participation in Posbindu activities. This program was effective in strengthening the role of cadres in the early detection of NCD risk factors. Continuous training for cadres, strengthened collaboration among cadres, health workers, and village authorities, and improved community access to health services are recommended. Regular community education is also needed to increase awareness of the importance of early detection.
