Abstract

ISPA is a respiratory disorder that causes children to tend to be lethargic, fussy, and lack of appetite, thus reducing the child's immunity which affects other health problems. The use of Complementary Therapies can help to reduce the impact of disease incidence, especially ISPA in toddlers at home as an alternative therapy for self-medication for families. It is hoped that the involvement of village health worker in the mother group in the community is directly involved in implementing the program to create and increase the ability to live healthy in a sustainable manner. The method of implementing community service activities is carried out by providing education, training and mentoring to 41 people consisting of village health worker and mother groups. The implementation of activities for the mothers group began with distributing pre-test questionnaires, then continued with providing health education about complementary therapies, herbal therapy simulations and toddler massage training to village health worker and mother groups, the activities were evaluated by providing posttest sheets. The results of the implementation of community service activities after health education and training activities obtained good knowledge about complementary therapies (75.6%) and sufficient knowledge (24.4%), paired t-test results before and after health education and the training obtained p value 0.005. It is hoped that village health worker can become activists and health promoters for mothers in an effort to prevent health problems by using complementary therapies.

Abstract

The school age is a critical period, because at this time infectious diseases often occur in children. The incidence of infectious diseases in children is increasing which will have an impact on the growth and physical development of children. The role of mother is very important such as in the implementation of health services for children and families in order to make efforts to prevent infectious diseases in children. The purpose of training and mentoring activities by forming a CEHATI (Smart, Healthy and Active) family can increase the knowledge and skills of mothers in efforts to maintain children's health at home. The method of implementing community service activities is carried out by providing education, training and assistance to 50 housewives groups. Education is carried out by providing health education about disease problems in children, PHBS and Handling the Risk of Injury to children, followed by simulation and training on handling injuries at home and providing assistance. The results of the implementation of this community service activity showed that the mother's knowledge of infectious diseases and PHBS was in good category (100%), after training and mentoring activities were carried out. The results of the paired t-test before and after being given training and mentoring obtained a p value of 0.000. As a result of this activity, it is hoped that the group of housewives can increase their knowledge and be independent in efforts to maintain children's health so that they are formed into a CEHATI (Smart, Healthy and Active) family.
