Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a chronic condition that is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and a leading cause of mortality. Low public awareness increases the risk of complications. Interpersonal Communication (ICC) is considered effective in raising awareness through two-way interaction. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of ICC in increasing public awareness of hypertension in Meunasah Raya. Method: The design used was a one-group pre-test-post-test. Twenty-six participants attended the activity. To determine changes in knowledge after education, a t-test analysis was conducted on the pre-test and post-test results. The activity was conducted in several sessions: interactive sessions, discussions, educational games, and songs. Result: Knowledge scores increased significantly from an average of 7.12 to 11.27 (p = 0.000). Conclusion: ICC is effective in increasing public awareness and understanding of hypertension. The interactive two-way communication approach makes it easier for participants to understand and remember information and has the potential to be applied more widely in other chronic disease prevention programs.
