Abstract

Introduction: Low public awareness regarding heart attack prevention, particularly on healthy diet and early symptom recognition, contributes significantly to high mortality rates. This knowledge gap is critical in community settings where the lack of structured health education leads to delayed medical intervention and poor health outcomes.

Objective: This program aimed to increase community knowledge in Pekon Wonodadi regarding heart attack prevention, focusing on healthy dietary practices, early symptom recognition, and emergency first aid.

Method: This community service was conducted with 15 productive-age residents in Pekon Wonodadi using a participatory education method. The program included counseling on healthy diet, first aid demonstrations, and interactive discussions. A baseline questionnaire was used to assess participants' health profiles, and program effectiveness was evaluated through their active engagement and feedback.

Result: The baseline assessment revealed that a family history of heart failure (40.0%) and obesity (20.0%) were the most prevalent risk factors among participants. The most frequently reported clinical symptoms were fatigue even with light activity (46.7%) and orthopnea or difficulty sleeping in a supine position (46.7%). The educational intervention was received with high enthusiasm and active participation, indicating a positive reception from the community and an increase in awareness regarding cardiovascular health.

Conclusion: The health education program effectively raised community awareness of cardiovascular risks and preventive measures, empowering them to adopt healthier lifestyles and reduce the future risk of heart disease.
