Percepatan Promotif KJSU (Kanker, Jantung, Stroke dan Urologi) Menuju Kabupaten Banyuasin Emas

Abstract

Lalang Sembawa Village, a partner village of Poltekkes Kemenkes Palembang in Banyuasin Regency, faces a substantial burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), particularly Cancer, Heart Disease, Stroke, and Urological disorders (KJSU). Screening data from the South Sumatra Provincial Health Office in 2025 indicated a high proportion of residents at risk of colon cancer, cardiovascular disease, and stroke. These findings were supported by Poskesdes records through April 2026, which documented 126 cases of cardiovascular disease and hypertension and 38 cases of diabetes mellitus. Two key challenges were identified: (1) limited knowledge among community members and health cadres regarding KJSU prevention and dietary management of NCDs; and (2) insufficient understanding among health cadres and Primary Health Center staff of the transition from the conventional Posyandu model to the Integrated Primary Care (ILP) system, resulting in suboptimal implementation. To address these challenges, an interprofessional community empowerment program involving seven health disciplines was conducted on 17 April 2026, engaging 75 participants, including community members, health cadres, Primary Health Center staff, and village officials. The program combined health education on KJSU and NCD dietary management with cadre mentoring and refresher training on ILP implementation. The intervention enhanced participants' knowledge of KJSU prevention and healthy dietary practices while strengthening cadres' understanding of ILP roles and the importance of integrating Free Health Check services into routine Posyandu activities. These outcomes support the development of a more knowledgeable and self-reliant community in preventing and managing NCDs in Lalang Sembawa Village
