Abstract

Perimenopause and cervical cancer remain neglected reproductive health issues among informal women workers in Indonesia, including traders in traditional markets. This community service activity aims to increase women's awareness of perimenopause and early detection of cervical cancer through Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA/IVA) education at Pasar Beringharjo, Yogyakarta. The activity used a one-group pre-test post-test design involving women of perimenopausal age, women of childbearing age, and female traders as participants. Health education was delivered through lectures, leaflets, and interactive discussions, followed by a question-and-answer session. Knowledge was measured before and after the intervention using a structured questionnaire. Results showed the mean knowledge score increased from 68.5 (pre-test) to 89.2 (post-test), with a paired t-test result of t(29) = -10.524 and p < 0.05, indicating a statistically significant improvement. The activity successfully increased participants' understanding of perimenopausal changes, cervical cancer risk factors, and the importance of routine VIA examination. Sustainable collaboration among health institutions, market management, and the community is recommended to maintain awareness and encourage regular screening behavior.

Abstract

Stunting is a long-term nutritional problem that affects children’s physical and cognitive development and poses a health challenge in the community, especially within the working area of the Malawili Health Center in Sorong Regency, Southwest Papua. One of the main causes is the sub-optimal nutrition literacy among mothers of toddlers. This community service activity aimed to increase mothers’ knowledge of balanced nutrition for stunting prevention through health education using leaflets. The activity was carried out at Posyandu Mentari, within the working area of the Malawili Health center, on July 9, 2026, involving 30 mothers of toddlers. The method used was health education accompanied by a knowledge assessment through pretest and posttest. The results showed an increase in the average knowledge score from 77.67 to 84.33 (a difference of 6.66 points or a relative increase of 8.6%), with the proportion of mothers in the good knowledge category rising from 60.0% to 86.7%. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test results showed a significant difference between the pretest and posttest (Z=-2.950; p=0.010; p<0.05). It can be concluded that nutrition education using leaflets is effective in increasing the knowledge of mothers with toddlers and has the potential to support efforts to accelerate stunting reduction in Sorong Regency.
