Abstract

Human hands are the most common and efficient medium for the spread of pathogenic microorganisms in everyday life. Millions of germs from various species can adhere to and transfer from one individual to another, or from the surface of objects to the body, simply through physical contact. Hand and nail hygiene play a crucial role in preventing infectious diseases because these areas are often colonized by pathogenic microorganisms. This study aimed to identify microorganisms on hands and nails before and after hand hygiene education and to assess the effectiveness of the intervention. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test design. Samples were collected by swabbing the palms, backs of hands, between fingers, and nails using sterile cotton swabs soaked in 0.9% physiological NaCl, and nail scrapings with sterile instruments. Samples were examined by direct examination, smearing the samples on glass slides and then observing them using a light microscope. The intervention, in the form of hand hygiene education, was delivered through lectures, discussions, questions and answers, and demonstrations of handwashing techniques. The results showed the discovery of pathogenic microorganisms in the form of worm eggs (Ascaris lumbricoides, hookworm, Trichuris trichiura). Hand hygiene education has been shown to increase respondents' understanding and improve hygiene practices. In conclusion, simple handwashing education is effective in reducing pathogenic microorganisms and can be used as a community-based infection prevention strategy.

Abstract

Public speaking is an important skill for students, especially those in the Public Health Study Program. This skill greatly supports their future professional roles in delivering health education and communication. However, many students experience difficulties such as lack of confidence, limited vocabulary, and anxiety when speaking in public. This study aims to enhance public speaking skills through storytelling techniques for students. This study used Classroom Action Research (CAR), which consisted of two cycles: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The participants were 25 students of the Public Health Study Program at MH. Thamrin University. Data were collected through observation, speaking tests, and documentation. The results showed an increase in the average score from the pre-test (60.2) to Cycle I (70.5) and Cycle II (82.3). The results of this study showed an increase in confidence and participation by students. It was concluded that storytelling techniques were very effective for students in enhancing their public speaking skills.
