SGP-FIBER
(SCORE Goes Public – Finding a Breach Against the Silent Killer)
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), hypertension is a condition where the increase in systolic blood is above the normal limit of more than 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure of more than 90 mmHg. Hypertension can present a variety of serious diseases ranging from the heart, kidneys, to the brain. Hypertension itself is known as the "silent killer", where people who have hypertension don’t have any symptoms at all.
Based on the 2018 National Basic Health Research Report, the prevalence of hypertension in West Sumatra is around 25.1%, the area in West Sumatra with the highest prevalence of hypertension is in Sawahlunto with a case percentage of 33.3%, Padang City occupies the second lowest position with a percentage of 21.7%.
Therefore, SCORE-CIMSA BEM KM FK Unand raised an activity called SGP-FIBER. This activity is a SCORE’s research activity with the topic “The Correlation of Vegetable and Fruit Consumption Levels on People's Blood Pressure in Pauh District, Padang City”.
SGP-FIBER consists of four sets of informative and educational activities. The first series of activities are training and workshops, which will be held on August 21, 2022 online. The training provided was about making questionnaires by Mrs. Zurayya Fadila, SKM, MKM. and training on hypertension and epidemiological conditions in Indonesia and West Sumatra by Mrs. dr. Rita Hamdani, SpJp(K) to active members of SCORE CIMSA-BEM KM FK Unand batch 2020 and 2021. Besides that, there was also a talk show with dr. Rakhmad Hidayat, Sp.S(K), MARS. From INASH (Indonesian Society of Hypertension) to talk more about hypertension.
The second series of activities is questionnaire validation carried out by SCORE 2020 and 2021 members. Furthermore, for the third activity is the offline distribution of questionnaires at the Pauh Health Center carried out by active members of SCORE CIMSA-BEM KM FK Unand batch 2020 and 2021.The last series of activities is data processing carried out by SCORE members batch 2020 and 2021. The data obtained from the third activity is recapitulated and processed.
Through this SGP-FIBER activity, it is hoped that SCORE CIMSA-BEM KM FK Unand members will have the knowledge to carry out research which has been studied beforehand.
Hopefully with this activity SCORE members will be more focused in the future when conducting future research and also have a higher interest in conducting research.
