Abstract

The increase in life expectancy has led to a significant increase in the elderly population in Indonesia, where the proportion reached 11.82% by 2023. The elderly are a vulnerable group to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hyperuricaemia, which are the leading causes of morbidity and decreased quality of life. This study aimed to improve elderly knowledge regarding NCDs and identify health risk factors through health education and screening activities. A one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted involving 32 elderly participants at the Himo-Himo Social Institution for the Elderly in Ternate City. Health education was provided, followed by screening for blood pressure, blood glucose, and uric acid levels. Data were analysed descriptively, while differences in knowledge scores before and after the intervention were assessed using a paired sample t-test. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge after the intervention (p = 0.000; t = -4.256). Screening results revealed that 84.4% of participants had elevated systolic blood pressure, indicating a high risk of hypertension, while 75.0% showed abnormal diastolic blood pressure. In addition, 56.3% of participants had elevated blood glucose levels, suggesting a risk of diabetes mellitus, and 71.9% had elevated uric acid levels, indicating hyperuricemia. Health education and NCD screening effectively improved elderly knowledge and facilitated early detection of health problems. These activities are essential and should be implemented routinely as part of preventive and promotive health efforts to improve the quality of life among older adults.

Abstract

Vaccination is a highly effective public health intervention for preventing the spread of infectious diseases and reducing morbidity and mortality rates in the community. In this context, the Port Health Office (KKP) plays a crucial role in conducting vaccinations for travelers engaging in international travel and for other health-related purposes. This study aims to describe the distribution of vaccination participants based on regional characteristics and the types of vaccines administered at the Maluku Utara KKP in 2025. The research methodology used is an observational descriptive design, utilizing secondary data from vaccination service records recorded at the KKP from September to November 2025. A total of 843 vaccination participants were analyzed using total sampling, and data were analyzed descriptively through frequency and percentage distributions. The results showed that the majority of participants were women (55.9%), with Ternate City being the region with the highest number of participants, totaling 442 people, while Sula Islands Regency had the fewest, with only 3 participants. Regarding vaccine types, the combined meningitis meningococcal and polio vaccines were the most widely administered, with 621 services. This was followed by meningococcal meningitis and polio vaccines, each with 108 services. These findings indicate that vaccination demand in North Maluku mainly revolves around vaccines that are requirements for international travel, especially for Umrah pilgrims and travelers going abroad. Therefore, the vaccination services provided by the KKP support public health protection and fulfill international travel health requirements.

Abstract

Adolescents are vulnerable to nutritional problems due to increased nutritional requirements during rapid growth and development. One of the common nutritional problems among adolescent girls is Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED), which may affect their future health and reproductive function. This community service activity aimed to improve students’ knowledge about balanced nutrition and conduct early detection of nutritional risk, particularly CED, among students of Muhammadiyah 2 Junior High School, Ternate City. The activity was conducted on November 8, 2025, involving 31 students from grades VII, VIII, and IX. The methods included balanced nutrition education through lectures and interactive discussions, followed by nutritional status screening using anthropometric measurements, including body weight, height, and Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) among female students. Knowledge improvement was assessed using pre-test and post-test questionnaires and analyzed using the paired t-test. The results showed an increase in the mean knowledge score from 7.10 before the intervention to 8.48 after the intervention, with a mean difference of 1.387 and a statistically significant difference (p = 0.002). Anthropometric assessment showed that the average MUAC among female students was 22.08 cm, with 5 students (38.5%) identified as being at risk of CED based on MUAC measurements. Conclusion, balanced nutrition education effectively improved students’ knowledge, and nutritional screening is important for early identification of nutritional risks. Routine nutritional monitoring in schools is recommended to support adolescent health and prevent future nutritional problems.

Abstract

The Mafututu sub-district, located in a coastal and island area, has different geographical conditions compared to mainland areas, requiring a more participatory waste management approach supported by facilities easily accessible to the community. Initial findings indicate that the area does not yet have Temporary Waste Disposal Sites (TPS), so some residents are still dumping waste into the sea, rivers, and barangka. This situation leads to low public understanding of waste types and sorting, which impacts the sub-optimal waste management efforts in the environment. This service activity aims to assess the effectiveness of outreach in increasing community knowledge regarding waste management. The program will be held at Mafututu Village, Tidore City, on Friday, August 8, 2025. The sample size for the activity was 71 people. The intervention was carried out in several stages: preparation, health education implementation, and knowledge evaluation using pre-test and post-test questionnaires. Data analysis was performed using the paired t-test statistical test. The results of the activity showed that the average knowledge of respondents before the health education was 75.98 (SD 17.27) and increased to 89.02 (SD 11.27) after the intervention. The Paired Samples Test produced a p-value of 0.000, indicating a significant difference between knowledge before and after the health education, with an increase of 13.04 times. These findings indicate that extension activities are effective in improving public understanding of segregated waste management. Therefore, community-based environmental education can be a strategic approach to promote environmentally friendly behavior and support more sustainable waste management at the community level.

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem caused by prolonged nutritional deficiencies during the first 1,000 days of life and can impair physical growth, cognitive development, and future productivity. This study aimed to examine the relationship between maternal knowledge, diarrhea incidence, acute respiratory infection (ARI), exclusive breastfeeding, and environmental sanitation with stunting prevention efforts among children aged 24–59 months in the working area of Ternate City Health Centers in 2025. An analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted. A total of 87 respondents were selected from 680 children using the Slovin formula and purposive sampling. Data were collected through structured interviews, environmental sanitation observation, and height measurement using a microtoise according to WHO standards. The data were analyzed using the Chi-square test with α = 0.05. The results showed that diarrhea incidence (p = 0.010) and exclusive breastfeeding (p = 0.000) were significantly associated with stunting prevention efforts, while maternal knowledge (p = 0.619), ARI incidence (p = 0.231), and environmental sanitation (p = 0.994) were not. These findings suggest that stunting prevention should prioritize exclusive breastfeeding promotion and diarrhea prevention through breastfeeding counseling, nutrition education, growth monitoring, and clean and healthy living behavior promotion at community health centers and integrated health posts. Limitations include the cross-sectional design, which precludes causal inference, purposive sampling, which may cause selection bias, and self-reported data, which may be affected by recall bias.
