Abstract

Stunting is a condition where a toddler has a length or height that is less than normal when compared to his age. Toddlers with growth delays may be at risk of decreased intelligence, decreased productivity and increased risk of degenerative diseases in the future. The purpose of this community service is to increase mothers' knowledge about nutritious food before pregnancy and after childbirth, use of clean water and sanitation. Pilolodaa Village was chosen as the location for the community service because it is one of the working areas of the West City Health Center which has the highest number of stunted children under five with a percentage of 28.46%. The method of implementing community service is carried out in the form of counseling using lecture methods, discussions, consultations, freezes, empowerment, mentoring and evaluation of knowledge about stunting prevention through a series of activities, namely licensing, coordination with the Kota Barat Health Center and Pilolodaa Village, preparing tools, media and places to use for program implementation. The results of the community service were an increase in knowledge about stunting prevention and an increase in skills in preparing nutritious food in the Pilolodaa Community Village, Kota Barat District, Gorontalo City.

Abstract

Sesewanua (Clerodendrum fragrans Wild.) is used as an anti-inflammatory (anti-rheumatoid arthritis) topically and orally and as an antioxidant with very strong potential. The n-hexane fraction: ethyl acetate of sesewanua leaves contains secondary metabolites of flavonoids and alkaloids. This study aimed to measure the levels of the flavonoid quercetin and the levels of the alkaloid piperine in the n-hexane: ethyl acetate fraction of the ethanol extract of sesewanua leaves. This research method: The n-hexane:ethyl acetate fraction was determined for its flavonoid content at a wavelength of 256 nm and piperine alkaloids at a wavelength of 342.5 nm using the UV-Vis spectrophotometry method. The results obtained from the n -hexane:ethyl acetate fraction of the ethanol extract of sesewanua leaves contained the flavonoid compound quercetin as much as 6.385 PPM and the alkaloid compound piperine as much as 5.854 PPM. Conclusion: The statistical results of the Independent T. Test show that there are significant levels of the flavonoid quercetin and alkaloid piperine, which means that the levels of the flavonoid quercetin in the n-hexane: ethyl acetate fraction of the ethanol extract of sesewanua leaves are higher than the alkaloid piperine compound.

Abstract

Introduction: Snacking is a behavior closely associated with children. Children tend to consume snacks without paying attention to cleanliness or nutritional content. The knowledge among elementary school children regarding healthy snack choices remains relatively low, thus requiring educational interventions to improve their awareness. One effective method is flashcard-based education, which can serve as a visual and interactive learning medium to enhance children's understanding of healthy snack selection. Objective: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of flashcard-based education in improving knowledge about healthy snack choices among elementary school children. Method: This case study employed a descriptive research approach involving five children with low knowledge about healthy snacks. The intervention was conducted over one day using flash cards, and knowledge levels were assessed before and after the session. Results: Following the intervention, the children's knowledge scores increased significantly, from an initial score of 3 (low knowledge category) to a score of 8–10 (high knowledge category), reflecting an improvement of 5–6 points. Conclusion: Flash card-based education proves to be a beneficial learning tool in enhancing elementary school children's knowledge of healthy snack selection.

Abstract

Stroke merupakan penyebab utama kecacatan yang sering mengakibatkan gangguan komunikasi verbal (disartria/afasia), sehingga menghambat proses pemulihan pasien. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan kader kesehatan dalam mendampingi pasien pasca-stroke melalui pelatihan terapi vokal AIUEO serta penggunaan alat pemeriksaan kesehatan dasar. Metode pelaksanaan meliputi koordinasi wilayah, edukasi materi stroke, pelatihan praktis artikulasi vokal AIUEO, serta praktik mandiri penggunaan tensimeter digital dan glukometer multifungsi. Kegiatan ini melibatkan 12 orang kader kesehatan di Kelurahan Dembe Jaya. Sebelum intervensi, tingkat pengetahuan awal kader berada pada kategori cukup dengan rata-rata nilai pre-test sebesar 72. Setelah diberikan edukasi dan pelatihan, hasil post-test menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan hingga kategori baik dengan rata-rata nilai 100. Kendala awal berupa rasa malu kader saat mempraktikkan artikulasi vokal dan keraguan dalam menggunakan alat pemeriksaan berhasil diatasi melalui pendampingan intensif serta pendekatan simulasi yang santai. Pelaksanaan kegiatan ini terbukti efektif meningkatkan kapasitas dan tingkat kepercayaan diri kader kesehatan, sehingga memperkuat peran kader dalam mendukung pemulihan komunikasi serta pemantauan kesehatan pasien pasca-stroke di masyarakat
