Abstract

Influenza is one of the acute respiratory infections that remains a public health concern due to its high transmissibility and potential to cause complications, particularly among vulnerable groups. In addition to seasonal influenza, the term “Super Flu” has become increasingly common in public discussions and social media, which may cause concern and misunderstanding regarding influenza. Meanwhile, Nipah virus infection is a zoonotic disease that can cause respiratory and neurological manifestations with a high fatality rate. This community service activity aimed to improve public knowledge of influenza, the term “Super Flu,” and Nipah virus infection, as well as their prevention. The activity was conducted in February 2026 at the Birrul Walidain NWDI Hall, Pancor, East Lombok Regency, involving 86 members of Muslimat NWDI, West Nusa Tenggara. Health education was delivered through lectures, interactive discussions, and question-and-answer sessions. Participants’ knowledge was assessed using pre-test and post-test questionnaires. The results showed an increase in knowledge following the activity. The proportion of participants with good knowledge increased from 21 participants (24.4%) in the pre-test to 68 participants (79.1%) in the post-test, while the proportion with poor knowledge decreased from 26 participants (30.3%) to 3 participants (3.5%). Improvements in knowledge were also observed across all age and educational groups. The activity suggests that direct and interactive health education can help participants better understand information about influenza, “Super Flu,” Nipah virus infection, and preventive measures. Similar educational activities can be conducted continuously with more structured evaluation to strengthen efforts to promote and prevent respiratory infectious diseases.

Abstract

Hypercholesterolemia is one of the risk factors for cardiovascular disease that needs to be controlled through the implementation of a healthy lifestyle and regular health screening. Limited public knowledge regarding risk factors, dietary patterns, genetic factors, and preventive measures for hypercholesterolemia highlights the need for community-based health education. This community service activity aimed to provide education on hypercholesterolemia and cardiovascular disease prevention to members of Nahdlatul Wathan Diniyah Islamiyah (NWDI) Muslimat in West Nusa Tenggara Province. The activity was conducted on February 22, 2026, at the North Lombok Regent’s Hall and involved 62 female participants aged 19–70 years. The activities employed interactive lectures, discussions, and question-and-answer sessions. Evaluation was conducted observationally by assessing participant participation, engagement in discussions, and responses to the educational materials. The results showed that participants attended the activity from beginning to end, actively asked questions and shared experiences, and provided positive responses to the materials presented. Participants’ questions mainly concerned dietary patterns, foods that should be limited or recommended, genetic factors, and the recommended frequency of cholesterol screening. Participants also considered the materials easy to understand, relevant, and useful for application in daily life. These findings indicate that community-based health education can serve as a relevant promotive approach for disseminating information on hypercholesterolemia and cardiovascular disease prevention. Further evaluation using quantitative instruments is needed to objectively measure changes in participants’ knowledge and health-related behaviors.
