Abstract

The utilization of Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA) as an alternative for self-medication has the potential to improve community health and well-being. This community service program aimed to enhance the capacity of residents in Penyengat Rendah Village in utilizing TOGA. The program involved training, mentoring, and the provision of simple technologies to support the effective cultivation and processing of medicinal plants. The results showed a significant increase in residents' knowledge and skills, with the average score increasing from 48 in the pre-test to 90 in the post-test (p < 0.001). The effect size (d = 2.3) indicated a substantial impact of the intervention on participants' knowledge improvement. Regression analysis revealed that the pre-test score only explained 10.71% of the post-test score variance, suggesting the influence of other factors on learning outcomes. The application of relevant technologies, such as drying racks and digital education platforms, contributed to the program's effectiveness. Through active community participation and appropriate technology, this program has the potential to become a sustainable health solution and economic resource. Further development of the program is recommended, including advanced processing techniques, the formation of TOGA communities, and collaboration with local markets to enhance the economic value of TOGA products.

Abstract

The National Nursing Competency Examination (UKOM) is a crucial requirement for obtaining a Registration Certificate (STR) for professional nursing practice in Indonesia. Despite its importance, many nursing students face challenges in preparing for the exam, particularly in understanding case-based questions, applying critical thinking, and accessing effective learning support. This community service program aimed to improve students’ readiness for UKOM by implementing a digital-based training and guidance strategy using the Ruang Ukom application at the Nursing Department of Jambi University. A blended learning approach was employed, combining face-to-face sessions, small group mentoring, and independent practice using the application. The Ruang Ukom platform featured interactive case-based questions, real-time feedback, exam simulations, and learning progress tracking. A total of 86 students participated, divided into intervention and mentoring groups. Quantitative analysis showed a significant increase in knowledge scores, with the mean pre-test score of 104.84 rising to 160.22 in the post-test. The intervention also enhanced students’ confidence, exam readiness, and critical thinking skills. The program encouraged digital transformation in academic guidance and demonstrated that integrating technology into nursing education can effectively support competency development. This model has potential for broader application and sustainability in preparing future nursing graduates for professional certification.
