Abstract

Yoga has been proven effective in helping reduce dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain) in adolescent girls by enhancing muscle relaxation, blood circulation, and hormonal balance. Proper yoga techniques can alleviate muscle tension and improve flexibility, which may help relieve pain and discomfort during menstruation. This community service activity aims to provide education and counseling on the benefits of yoga as a non-medical approach to reducing dysmenorrhea for students at SMAN 1 Pangkep Makassar. The methods used in this activity include counseling, demonstrations of yoga poses, and joint practice sessions guided by an experienced yoga instructor. Student participation was documented and evaluated to measure their increased understanding of yoga and its effects on menstrual pain. The results of this activity showed that 85% of participants reported a decrease in pain intensity after regularly practicing the yoga poses taught, compared to their condition before the training. This counseling successfully improved students’ knowledge and skills in managing dysmenorrhea through yoga and encouraged them to take better care of their health. Thus, this counseling not only provides a practical solution for students in addressing menstrual pain but also has the potential to enhance the quality of life and well-being of adolescent girls in school and community environments

Abstract

Oxytocin massage has proven effective in reducing the risk of mastitis in breastfeeding mothers by helping the breasts to relax and improving milk flow, thereby reducing swelling and milk duct blockages. Education on proper breastfeeding techniques is crucial to prevent worsening conditions and increasing the risk of mastitis. This community service activity aims to provide education and oxytocin massage training to posyandu cadres in the Puskesmas Pancana Makassar area. The community service method involves direct guidance from trained facilitators to the cadres, which includes proper and safe massage techniques as well as understanding the benefits for breastfeeding mothers, while cadre participation is documented and analyzed to evaluate the impact of the training on increasing knowledge and skills in oxytocin massage techniques and mastitis prevention. The results of this activity show that oxytocin massage training effectively enhances the practical skills of posyandu cadres, with 80% of cadres achieving good skills after the training compared to only 10% before the training, thus contributing to the prevention of mastitis and improving the quality of health services at posyandu. Integrating oxytocin massage into posyandu cadre training programs is crucial in preventing mastitis, enhancing maternal mental health, and strengthening the emotional bond between mother and baby. Therefore, this training not only improves the practical knowledge of cadres but also has a significant positive impact on supporting family health and well-being at the community level.
