Abstract

The purpose of the public discussion is to educate students, particularly teenage girls, on the use of experience materials to treat menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea). This program is implemented by using the School Health Unit as a media outlet to facilitate education and use ginger-boiled water and green coconut water as a substitute for menstrual pain. Through study and instruction, teenage girls learn about the benefits of ginger and green coconut, which contain natural compounds that can help reduce pain. As an easy, safe, and pleasant way to lessen the severity of menstruation, ginger boiled water, which has anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic properties, as well as green coconut water, which will be electrolyzed and include antioxidants, is recommended. Along with teaching, this program teaches students how to properly handle and consume both of these materials so they may use them independently. It is hoped that through this activity, teenage girls will have useful solutions to deal with dysmenorrhea and that they will also increase their awareness of the importance of reproductive health.

Abstract

Breast care is an important preventive and promotive effort to support the smooth production of breast milk and prevent various breastfeeding problems such as sore nipples, engorgement, mastitis, and breast engorgement. Lack of knowledge and skills among breastfeeding mothers regarding proper breast care techniques is often a factor inhibiting the success of exclusive breastfeeding. This condition can reduce maternal motivation and increase the risk of early cessation of breastfeeding. Therefore, systematic and applicable education is needed to increase the capacity of mothers to perform breast care independently. This community service activity aims to improve the knowledge and skills of breastfeeding mothers in implementing proper breast care techniques. The method used is a participatory educational approach through interactive counseling, demonstrations, hands-on practice with assistance, discussions, and evaluation using pre- and post-tests. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in the knowledge, skills, and confidence of participants in practicing breast care. This activity effectively supports the success of exclusive breastfeeding and contributes to the sustainable improvement of maternal and infant health.
