Abstract

Pregnancy is a crucial transitional phase that involves significant physical changes and complex psychological changes. Unstable emotional conditions during pregnancy can trigger antenatal depression which adversely affects maternal health and fetal development. This community service activity aims to increase the understanding and ability of pregnant women regarding the importance of self-care (self-care mental) by utilizing medically modified Javanese traditions. The activity was carried out at the Medan Pomegranate Clinic by the academic team from STIKes Darmo Medan. The method used is interactive health counseling to pregnant women and families, and is evaluated through a pre-test and post-test quantitative design. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in participants' understanding of the management of psychological conditions, reduction of anxiety levels, and filtering of the noble values of tradition to be in harmony with safe medical principles. The main supporting factor is the high enthusiasm of the participants, while the inhibiting factor is the still strong belief in certain local myths that trigger anxiety. In conclusion, the integration of local traditions and medical standards is able to become an effective holistic antenatal care model to reduce stress rates in pregnant women.

Abstract

The postpartum period is a critical phase that requires optimal recovery, where improper maternal care and food restrictions can hinder wound healing. This community service activity aims to improve the knowledge, attitudes, and practical skills of postpartum mothers regarding maternal self-care by utilizing traditional herbal medicine and local nutritional resources. Carried out at the Delima Clinic by an academic team from STIKes Darmo Medan, this intervention involved public health counseling and interactive focus group discussions, and was evaluated through a pre-test and post-test quantitative design. The results showed a significant increase in participants' awareness, effectively eliminating traditional food taboos, and empowering mothers to safely utilize local nutrients to speed up the healing of perineal wounds. In conclusion, structured education on safe local food sources and traditional herbal medicine serves as an effective strategy to optimize the recovery and well-being of postpartum mothers.

Abstract

Indonesia memiliki tingkat kerawanan bencana yang tinggi, dan Kabupaten Gayo Lues, khususnya Kecamatan Blangkejeren, termasuk wilayah rawan banjir dan tanah longsor yang kerap menimbulkan korban luka. Keterbatasan tenaga kesehatan serta rendahnya pengetahuan masyarakat tentang perawatan luka—termasuk kebiasaan menggunakan bahan tradisional seperti abu dan daun-daunan yang berisiko infeksi—menjadi masalah utama di tiga desa sasaran (Palok, Agusen, dan Tetinggi). Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan warga dalam perawatan luka sederhana pascabencana guna memperkuat kesiapsiagaan berbasis komunitas. Metode pelaksanaan mengintegrasikan tiga tahap, yaitu edukasi ceramah interaktif, demonstrasi oleh tenaga ahli, dan redemonstrasi mandiri oleh peserta, yang dilaksanakan selama tiga hari di tiga desa dengan total 60 peserta. Evaluasi dilakukan melalui pre-test–post-test pengetahuan (20 soal) dan lembar observasi keterampilan (15 indikator). Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan rata-rata skor pengetahuan dari 42,3 menjadi 80,5 (peningkatan 90,3%; uji Paired Sample T-Test, p = 0,000), serta 72% peserta mampu melakukan perawatan luka dengan benar, keduanya melampaui target keberhasilan 70%. Pendekatan community-based yang memadukan edukasi, demonstrasi, dan redemonstrasi terbukti efektif meningkatkan kapasitas masyarakat di daerah rawan bencana dengan akses layanan kesehatan terbatas. Program ini direkomendasikan untuk direplikasi dan diintegrasikan ke dalam Rencana Penanggulangan Bencana desa guna keberlanjutan kesiapsiagaan masyarakat.
