During the Covid-19 pandemic, heart disease patients were at very high risk of experiencing
severe complications if exposed to the virus. One important effort in preventing cardiovascular diseases is to identify the cardiovascular risk factors in each individual. There are several models for detecting risk, one of which is the Jakarta Cardiovascular Score. Health promotion is also an effort to manage modifiable risk factors for heart disease. Health promotion is expected to prevent risky behaviors that lead to an increase in heart disease incidence in the long term. This
study aims to assess the effectiveness of early detection and health promotion in changing
the attitudes and lifestyles of residents at risk of heart disease post-Covid-19 pandemic. The
research method used in this study is a quasi-experimental design with one group of 30
respondents. The study was conducted in the working area of the Pasar Minggu District
Health Center in Jakarta. The results showed that after the intervention, which included
early detection and health promotion, there was a change in attitude by 0.8 points, from
88.13 (before intervention) to 88.95 (after intervention). The T-test results showed a p-value
of 0.004, indicating a statistically significant difference between before and after the
intervention. The respondents' lifestyle also changed by 5.5 points, from 66.03 (before
intervention) to 71.62 (after intervention), with a p-value of 0.004, indicating a statistically
significant difference between before and after the intervention.
