Abstract

Stunting is a chronic, nutrition-related growth disorder that impacts both physical growth and cognitive development, with varying prevalence across different regions. Tenganan Village in Karangasem faces significant challenges regarding stunting, which necessitate integrated interventions. The objective of this project is to improve nutrition knowledge, promote balanced dietary practices using locally available foods, and enhance community capacity to reduce the risk of stunting in Tenganan Village. This includes socializing with partners, conducting Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), providing interactive nutrition education on stunting prevention, showing educational videos, demonstrating the Isi Piringku plates, and distributing stunting prevention materials such as chickens, fish, vegetables, and groceries. The pre-test mean score was 21.2, while the post-test mean score increased to 67.6, indicating a 68.6% improvement in knowledge about the Isi Piringku method. This study was supported by local food security materials provided by Japanese partners. In conclusion, the intervention successfully enhanced nutrition knowledge and practical skills for preparing nutritious meals using locally sourced ingredients, with the potential to reduce stunting rates if these efforts are sustained.

Abstract

Students who manage school health units often have limited knowledge of infectious diseases and health literacy. This program aims to enhance students' understanding of infectious diseases and health literacy skills at Payangan 1 State Senior High School, who oversee the school's health unit. To achieve this, the community service program at Payangan 1 State Senior High School uses an outreach approach and health literacy-focused demonstrations. The partners in this initiative include students managing the school's health unit, supportive teachers, and health professionals. The PKM consists of several stages, including material preparation. Counselling sessions on infectious diseases (such as HIV, dengue fever, and tuberculosis) for the school's health unit management students, utilizing presentations and focus group discussions.  Improvement of the school's health unit facilities and distribution of personal protective equipment (PPE). Counselling on materials related to adolescent entrepreneurship. To evaluate the program's effectiveness, pretests and posttests were administered to measure changes in knowledge of infectious diseases and health literacy. The results showed a 65.1% increase in knowledge about infectious diseases and a 50% increase in health literacy. It is anticipated that this program will positively impact students' physical, mental, and social health, create a healthier school environment, and empower students to become agents of change within their communities.
