Abstract

Introduction: Diarrhea is still a major global problem and the biggest cause of death in children under five in Indonesia. Cadres have an important role in improving children's health so it is necessary to increase knowledge about the prevention and handling of diarrhea in children. E-module application media is one of the health literacy options that can provide experience accessing the process. Objectives: to analyze the effect of e-module application media in the prevention and treatment of diarrhea in children Methods: Pre-experiment with one group without control pretest and post-test design was used. The population in this study was 30 posyandu cadres in Punggolaka Village using total sampling. The instrument used e-module application media to provide education on preventing and managing diarrhea in children and questionnaires to measure cadre knowledge. Results: The results showed an increase after the post-test with a mean value of 63.00 before intervention and 85.30 after intervention, while the paired t-test showed a significant effect with a p-value of <0.001 (<0.005). Conclusions: There is a significant effect of education through the e-module application media on the knowledge of posyandu cadres in Punggolaka Village

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) remains a major global health challenge, with prevalence increasing both worldwide and in Indonesia, including Kendari City, Southeast Sulawesi. Preventive strategies that integrate community engagement and local food systems are urgently needed. Methods: This study employed a qualitative descriptive design to explore community experiences, perceptions, and involvement in diversifying scad fish into value-added products as a strategy for DM prevention. Research was conducted in Kendari with 32 participants, including health cadres, women’s groups, small and medium enterprise (SME) fish processors, and community leaders. Data collection methods consisted of in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, participant observation, and document review. Thematic analysis was applied using Miles and Huberman’s framework, supported by triangulation and member checking to ensure credibility. Results: Findings revealed that scad fish, though abundant and affordable, was underutilized due to low preference compared to other fish species. Through participatory processes, communities co-developed scad fish floss and crackers, which were widely accepted for their practicality, longer shelf life, and cultural compatibility. Mothers reported replacing sugary snacks with scad-based products, indicating positive dietary shifts, while SMEs and women’s groups gained new livelihood opportunities. Community involvement particularly by health cadres and local leaders was identified as the central factor ensuring acceptance, sustainability, and dissemination of the intervention. Conclusions: The diversification of scad fish into floss and crackers demonstrates a culturally relevant, sustainable, and community-driven approach to DM prevention. Beyond improving nutrition, this intervention also strengthens local economies and promotes social empowerment. The study provides a model for integrating health promotion with local food resources, offering implications for future community-based strategies in resource-rich settings.
