Hypertension is a global problem since the increasing prevalence rate occurs every year, including in Tarakan City, which topographically consists of coastal and urban societies. The increasing number of people with hypertension is related to population growth and unhealthy community behaviour.

There is correlation between sports activities and blood pressure in coastal communities with a p value of 0.0001. There is correlation between smoking habits and blood pressure in the coastal community of Tarakan City where the p value is 0.001.

Angka kejadian henti jantung di luar rumah sakit (out of hospital cardiac arrest) cenderung tinggi dan kurang dari 40% dari jumlah korban tersebut diberikan tindakan resusitasi jantung paru (RJP) oleh masyarakat awam. Kondisi tersebut menunjukkan bahwa keterampilan bantuan hidup dasar sangat penting dimiliki oleh masyarakat termasuk juga para relawan. Kesiapsiagaan relawan yang didukung dengan kompetensi yang mumpuni menjadi faktor penting bagi relawan dalam memberikan pertolongan pertama. Pentingnya pengetahuan dan keterampilan bantuan hidup dasar di masyarakat, maka masyarakat termasuk para relawan perlu diberikan pelatihan bantuan hidup dasar. Kegiatan ini diikuti oleh 15 peserta yang merupakan relawan PMI. Kegiatan ini meliputi 2 tahap, diantaranya penyampaian teori/konsep BHD dengan metode ceramah, serta praktik melakukan resusitasi jantung paru (RJP) dan manajemen pembebasan jalan napas pada korban tersedak/chocking. Secara kuantitatif terdapat perbedaan nilai pre dan post test pengetahuan peserta tentang BHD. Untuk aspek keterampilan, rerata nilai peserta setelah pelatihan BHD juga baik. Pelatihan BHD mampu meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan peserta.
