Abstract

ABSTACT The potential yield of rice paddy cultivated by farmers can still be increased if all farmers in Solok City use organic fertilizer according to the recommended rate of 5 tons/ha. Some members of the farmer group still burn rice straw after harvest, resulting in environmental pollution. The purpose of making rice straw compost is to improve and increase soil fertility by adding organic matter, gradually providing nutrients for plants, and reducing the use of chemical fertilizers, thereby saving farmers production costs and supporting sustainable agriculture. Furthermore, straw compost can improve soil health, water retention capacity, and encourage beneficial microbial activity, all of which support food security programs. Implementation methods include outreach, training, technology application, mentoring and evaluation, and program sustainability for partners in the multi-purpose farmer group in Tanah Garam Village, Solok City. Overall, the community service activities have successfully increased understanding and awareness of the use of rice straw for composting in farmers' rice fields in Solok City. The results of this activity are rice straw compost that can be directly used by farmers as organic fertilizer, to increase rice crop production and support food security programs.

Abstract

Low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent condition during the third trimester of pregnancy that significantly impacts maternal quality of life. While physical activity is recommended, context-specific evidence regarding the effectiveness of standardized gym ball training in primary care settings, particularly in Indonesia, remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a standardized gym ball training program in reducing low back pain intensity among third-trimester pregnant women attending the Lubuk Alung Public Health Center, West Sumatra. A quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was employed. The study involved 16 third-trimester pregnant women who were selected through purposive sampling. Participants underwent a four-week intervention comprising eight sessions of supervised gym ball exercises (25–30 minutes per session). Pain intensity was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Paired Sample T-test. The baseline mean LBP intensity was 5.06 (SD = 0.68), indicating moderate pain. Post-intervention, the mean score significantly decreased to 1.19 (SD = 0.40), indicating mild pain (p < 0.001). The mean reduction was 3.87 points, representing a clinically significant improvement of approximately 76.5%. Standardized gym ball training is effective in significantly reducing low back pain intensity in third-trimester pregnant women. The intervention is feasible and safe for implementation in primary care settings as a non-pharmacological approach to improve maternal well-being.
