Abstract

Indonesian students in Japan who engage in part-time employment face multiple health risks, including physical complaints associated with non-ergonomic work postures, work-related exhaustion and burnout, and psychosocial stress. This community service program aims to empower these students to provide peer health support by enhancing their self-efficacy through targeted intervention modules. The program was implemented in two phases. Phase 1 was conducted offline in collaboration with the Indonesian Students Association (PPI) in Chiba, Japan, and Pimpinan Cabang Istimewa Muhammadiyah (PCIM) Japan. The sessions covered burnout, physical activity and stretching, and occupational health and safety (OHS). Phase 2 was delivered online and addressed stress management, workplace ergonomics, and physical activity. Program outcomes were evaluated using pretest and posttest assessments. Descriptive analysis was used to compare mean self-efficacy and behavioral scores before and after the intervention. In Phase 1 (n = 10), the mean total self-efficacy score increased from 17.9 to 26.75. The greatest improvements were observed in participants’ perceived ability to recognize signs of stress and burnout and to address concerns related to workers’ rights and OHS. In Phase 2 (n = 4), participants reported improvements in their self-efficacy regarding their ability to encourage peers to engage in stretching exercises and remind them to maintain ergonomically appropriate sitting postures. These topic-specific improvements in self-efficacy may strengthen participants’ confidence in providing peer support and sharing health-related information through their routine organizational activities. Further evaluation is needed to determine whether these improvements translate into sustained behavioral changes and stronger social support networks.
