Abstract

Rheumatism is a condition marked by joint inflammation, swelling, and pain, often causing limitations in daily activities and decreasing productivity. Prolonged symptoms, especially over 10 years, may lead to joint damage, making patients reliant on others and impacting their social and economic functioning. This study aims to examine the effect of rheumatic exercises on pain levels among rheumatic patients in the Kalijudan Public Health Center area, Surabaya. The research employed a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design involving 31 participants selected through purposive sampling. Rheumatic exercises were the independent variable, while pain levels were the dependent variable, measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). The data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test with a significance level set at p<0.05. The results showed a Wilcoxon test value of 0.000, indicating a statistically significant difference in pain levels before and after the intervention. These findings demonstrate that rheumatic exercises effectively reduce pain in rheumatic patients. The study concludes that implementing rheumatic exercise programs can be a beneficial non-pharmacological intervention to manage pain in patients with rheumatism, particularly in community health settings like the Kalijudan Public Health Center.

Abstract

Dysmenorrhea is a common menstrual pain complaint experienced by adolescent girls and can interfere with learning activities and overall quality of life. The management of dysmenorrhea encompasses not only pharmacological interventions but also non-pharmacological strategies, which are regarded as safer alternatives with minimal adverse effects. Among such approaches, physical therapy including abdominal stretching and effleurage massage has garnered attention. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of abdominal stretching and effleurage massage in alleviating dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls. The research design employed was a pre-experimental method utilizing a two-group pretest-posttest framework, consisting of two intervention groups without a control group. A total of 32 female students from Muhammadiyah 10 Senior High School Surabaya who experienced dysmenorrhea were selected using purposive sampling. The results showed a significant decrease in pain scale before and after the intervention in both groups. The group receiving effleurage massage showed a faster reduction in pain intensity compared to the abdominal stretching group. The average pain scale after treatment decreased significantly in both groups. Respondents reported feelings of relaxation and comfort after the intervention. No side effects were found during or after the therapy. Effleurage massage yielded more effective results in a shorter time. In conclusion, abdominal stretching and effleurage massage are effective in reducing dysmenorrhea in adolescent girls. These therapies can serve as safe and practical non-pharmacological treatment alternatives. This study is expected to be a reference for healthcare professionals and educators in providing education and holistic management of menstrual pain in adolescents.

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) among adolescents represents a significant public health challenge, largely driven by lifestyle factors and insufficient awareness of preventive measures during early life stages. Despite existing health education efforts, traditional media such as leaflets often fail to effectively engage this population, limiting their impact on knowledge and behavioral change. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of animation book-based health education compared to conventional leaflet methods in enhancing knowledge and attitudes toward diabetes mellitus prevention among adolescents at Muhammadiyah 1 Junior High School, Sidoarjo, Indonesia. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design with non-equivalent control groups, 64 ninth-grade students were allocated evenly into an intervention group receiving animation book education and a control group receiving leaflet-based education. Pretest and posttest assessments were conducted using structured questionnaires to measure changes in knowledge and attitudes. Statistical analysis applying paired and independent t-tests revealed a significant improvement in both knowledge and positive attitudes in the intervention group compared to the control group (p = 0.001). Notably, the animation book group demonstrated a substantial increase in knowledge scores, with the percentage of students exhibiting “good” knowledge rising from 40.6% to 93.8%, while the control group showed only marginal gains. Attitudinal improvements followed a similar pattern, indicating that the animation book medium facilitates more effective cognitive and affective engagement. These findings suggest that animation book-based education serves as a superior and innovative pedagogical tool for school-based health promotion aimed at early diabetes prevention. Integration of such interactive media can enhance adolescent health literacy and support preventive behaviors, ultimately reducing the future burden of non-communicable diseases.

Abstract

Low Birth Weight (LBW) remains a critical neonatal health problem due to its strong association with increased morbidity and mortality risks, requiring continuous and accurate physiological monitoring. This community service program aimed to implement a telemedicine-based bedside monitoring system at Gedangan Community Health Center, Sidoarjo Regency, to improve neonatal care services and strengthen health worker capacity in managing LBW infants. The intervention addressed key challenges, including limited access to real-time monitoring data, insufficient technological integration in primary care settings, and the need for improved technical competence among health workers. The method employed a structured community engagement approach consisting of counseling, training, demonstration, re-demonstration, and continuous mentoring. Thirty health workers, including nurses, midwives, and electromedical personnel, participated in the program conducted over two days. Evaluation was performed through direct oral questioning and structured practical observation during device operation and simulation activities. The results indicated a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge and skills, with an increase in understanding of neonatal monitoring concepts and telemedicine application. Participants demonstrated improved ability to operate the bedside monitor, interpret vital sign parameters, and apply standard operating procedures. However, post-implementation evaluation revealed partial non-compliance with SOPs in device operation, maintenance, and repair, highlighting the need for continuous training and supervision. The telemedicine system successfully enabled real-time transmission of neonatal physiological data, improving accessibility for both health workers and families. In conclusion, the implementation of a telemedicine-based bedside monitoring system effectively enhanced the capacity of primary healthcare services for LBW infants. Continuous mentoring, infrastructure support, and periodic training are essential to ensure sustainability and optimal utilization of the technology in neonatal care.

Abstract

Coronary heart disease (CHD) prevention in primary care is constrained by limited consultation time, uneven health literacy, and insufficient reinforcement after one-off education. This community service program evaluated a hybrid intervention combining clinician-led education, guided Android application use, and self-risk screening. The program was delivered at Candi Primary Health Center, Sidoarjo, Indonesia, on 9 June 2026 using a one-group pre-test–post-test design. Community members were recruited consecutively; paired analysis included participants who attended the intervention and completed matchable pre- and post-tests. The intervention comprised baseline assessment, structured CHD education, application demonstration, hands-on practice, and immediate post-test. Knowledge was assessed with an expert-reviewed 20-item true–false questionnaire scored from 0 to 100. Approximately 60 electronic entries were screened; after duplicate and incomplete records were removed, 13 valid paired observations remained. The mean knowledge score changed from 63.50 ± 12.05 (pre-test) to 97.00 ± 4.62 (post-test), with an absolute change of 33.50 points (95% CI: 30.09–36.91), p < 0.001, and a large effect size (Cohen’s dz = 2.54). Application access, screening completion, and assistance needs were 54 (90%), 60 (100%), and not formally assessed in the dataset, respectively. The hybrid intervention was feasible under supervised conditions and was associated with an immediate improvement in CHD literacy. However, the small uncontrolled sample, immediate outcome assessment, and absence of longitudinal usage data preclude conclusions about sustained behavior change. Integration into routine non-communicable disease education should be accompanied by cadre training, user support, and longer-term evaluation.
