Abstract

Purpose: Syphilis remains a global public health concern, particularly in developing countries. This study aims to determine the seroprevalence of syphilis and assess its association with sociodemographic factors among female blood donors of reproductive age in Surabaya, Indonesia. Methods: This cross-sectional study analysed secondary data from 186 female blood donors aged 15–49 years at the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) in Surabaya. Syphilis status was categorized as reactive or non-reactive based on screening results. Sociodemographic variables included age, marital status, education, and occupation. Descriptive and chi-square bivariate analyses were conducted using JASP 0.95.4, with significance set at p < 0.05. Results: The seroprevalence of syphilis among female donors was 25.3%. Significant associations were found between syphilis status and marital status (p = 0.000), age category (p = 0.001), and education level (p = 0.013). Unmarried women, adolescents aged 15–24, and those with lower levels of education had the highest proportions of reactive results. While occupation was not statistically significant (p = 0.228), students and housewives showed the highest infection rates. Conclusion: The high seroprevalence of syphilis among female reproductive-age donors in Surabaya is significantly associated with specific sociodemographic factors. Strengthening STI prevention programs and routine donor screenings is essential to ensure blood safety and improve reproductive health outcomes.

Abstract

Maternal and neonatal morbidity remains a critical challenge in Indonesia, particularly within the Pasean Community Health Center area in Pamekasan. Key contributing factors include limited community-based education, poor knowledge of nutrition and pregnancy danger signs, and suboptimal health cadre capacity. This community service initiative aims to enhance knowledge, empower cadres through proactive education, and reduce morbidity via early detection. The intervention involves the PELEM MANIS (Proactive Learning and Management for Mom and Kids) booklet. Activities were conducted using a hybrid model (online and face-to-face) encompassing lectures, discussions, and demonstrations. Program effectiveness was evaluated through pre- and post-tests to measure knowledge, while awareness was assessed via K6 maternal coverage. Results demonstrated a significant increase in knowledge and awareness among pregnant women, parents, and health cadres regarding pregnancy, childbirth, and neonatal care. This improvement is evidenced by higher post-test scores. The innovative booklet proved effective and relevant in helping stakeholders identify and manage emergencies throughout the maternal and neonatal periods.
