Abstract

The issue of blood availability remains a challenge in healthcare services, particularly in meeting transfusion needs in hospitals. Low participation in voluntary blood donation and limited public understanding, including among university students, regarding the importance of donation contribute to the imbalance between blood demand and supply. This community service activity aims to increase voluntary blood donation participation through the involvement of Universitas Dr. Soetomo students as agents of social awareness at RS Bhayangkara Watu Kosek. The activity was conducted offline through brief education, donor health screening, and blood donation implementation in collaboration with hospital healthcare professionals. The participants consisted of 50 Universitas Dr. Soetomo students, comprising 15 males and 35 females. Results indicated that all eligible participants successfully donated blood, and there was a marked improvement in students' understanding and positive attitudes toward blood donation as a form of social and humanitarian concern. This activity demonstrates that student-based community service is effective in supporting hospital blood availability while simultaneously building students' social character. The outcomes of this service serve as an important model for sustainable collaboration between universities and hospitals in supporting healthcare services.

Abstract

The issues of blood availability and the high prevalence of anemia among adolescents remain major public health challenges in Indonesia. Low health literacy, misconceptions about blood donation, and unbalanced dietary patterns highlight the need for systematic and sustainable educational interventions. This community service activity aimed to improve adolescents’ knowledge, attitudes, and behavioral readiness related to blood donation and anemia prevention through participatory education involving students of Universitas Dr. Soetomo as agents of change. The program was conducted offline through interactive lectures, dialogic discussions, simulations, and evaluations using pre-test and post-test methods. A total of 50 participants were involved, consisting of 15 males and 35 females. The results demonstrated an increase in the average knowledge scores from a moderate category in the pre-test to a high category in the post-test, accompanied by more positive attitudes toward blood donation and increased awareness of nutrition and iron supplementation. These findings indicate that student-based participatory health education is effective in enhancing adolescent health literacy. This community service initiative is important as a model of community empowerment oriented toward health behavior change and the strengthening of the role of higher education institutions in public health development.

Abstract

Hypertension is one of the primary health issues among the productive-age group, often remaining undetected due to low public awareness regarding routine screenings. This community service project aims to conduct blood pressure screenings while simultaneously increasing awareness of hypertension risks among the productive-age population in Menur Pumpungan Village. The activity was conducted offline through blood pressure measurements using standardized digital tensimeters, accompanied by brief education on hypertension and its prevention. The participants consisted of 100 individuals from the general public, including both productive-age men and women. The results indicated that a portion of the participants fell into the prehypertension and hypertension categories, while others maintained normal blood pressure levels. These findings suggest a significant potential for hypertension issues within the productive-age population. This initiative underscores the importance of routine blood pressure checks for early detection and strengthens the role of community service in supporting promotive and preventive health efforts at the village level.
