Abstract

Migrants represent a highly vulnerable population due to their limited access to health information, healthcare services, and emergency response mechanisms. These vulnerabilities are exacerbated by language barriers, cultural differences, socioeconomic constraints, and the unpredictability of their living environments in host countries. The absence of knowledge and basic skills in handling injuries significantly increases their risk of complications, disability, and preventable mortality. This community-engagement program aimed to strengthen the emergency preparedness of migrants under the coordination of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) by providing culturally adapted education on injury prevention and first aid. A total of 20 migrants participated in an interactive session consisting of counseling, demonstrations, and hands-on skill practice. Knowledge acquisition was assessed using pre-test and post-test questionnaires containing ten multiple-choice items. The results revealed a 38.8% improvement in average knowledge scores (pre-test: 45.2; post-test: 74.0), with a paired t-test showing statistical significance (p = 0.0000, p < 0.05). Participants also demonstrated enthusiasm and high engagement during the practical sessions. These findings indicate that community-based, participatory education is effective for increasing first-aid competence among vulnerable migrant groups. This initiative can serve as a replicable model for migrant shelters and humanitarian organizations seeking to strengthen public health resilience.

Abstract

Tuberculosis remains a major public health issue in Indonesia, particularly in densely populated environments such as Islamic boarding schools. This community engagement program aimed to improve awareness, early detection, and prevention of tuberculosis through the “Healthy Adolescents Without TB” campaign at Hidayatulloh Al-Muhajirin Islamic Boarding School, Bangkalan. A total of 150 students participated in the activities, which implemented a participatory, faith-based health education model combining contextual learning, tuberculosis screening, and healthy behavior promotion. Interactive education sessions, audiovisual media, and testimonials from TB survivors significantly increased students’ understanding of disease prevention. Screening identified 13 students (8.6%) with chronic cough, 9 (6.0%) with weight loss, and 5 (3.3%) with night sweats, all referred for further evaluation at local health facilities. The integration of Islamic values into health messages enhanced cultural acceptance and motivated sustainable behavioral change. Overall, the program effectively strengthened adolescent health literacy and fostered active community participation, demonstrating that contextual, participatory, and faith-based education can serve as a replicable model to support Indonesia’s tuberculosis elimination strategy.

Abstract

Vitamin D (VitD) has been studied for its role in the immune system, particularly in regulating the body's inflammatory response. Vitamin D deficiency can increase the risk of respiratory tract infections, which can trigger asthma exacerbations. In asthma patients, VitD can act as an immunomodulator in respiratory epithelial cells. The objective of this community service program is to increase students' knowledge about the benefits of vitamin D supplementation in the recognition and management of asthma among students at the Zainul Hasan Genggong Islamic boarding school in Probolinggo. This community service project used an observational analytical method to process questionnaire data. The participants were 40 male and female students at Zainul Hasan Genggong Islamic boarding school. This activity was conducted using a lecture, discussion, and question-and-answer approach. The results of the Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed an increase in the students' knowledge, with a pre-test average score of 30 and a post-test average score of 65, indicating a significant increase (p-value <0.001). The conclusion drawn is that students can understand asthma and the role of vitamin D supplementation in asthma management after receiving counseling, and it is hoped this education will encourage students to adopt healthy lifestyles, recognize asthma symptoms early, and take appropriate action.
