Abstract

HIV/AIDS infection (ODHIV) remains a significant public health issue in Indonesia. One of the main challenges in managing HIV/AIDS is adherence to antiretroviral (ARV) therapy among ODHIV. Low adherence can lead to drug resistance, decreased quality of life, and increased risk of virus transmission. Factors influencing ARV adherence include stigma, discrimination, and the knowledge of ODHIV about the therapy. Education was conducted through group counseling, starting with a pre-test to assess participants' knowledge about HIV treatment. After the pre-test, a counseling session on "The Importance of ARV Adherence for People Living with HIV" was held, concluding with a post-test. A total of 27 participants took part in this activity, with the majority being male (59%) and the largest age group being 20-30 years (41%). Pre-test results indicated that 44% of participants had a low initial understanding. However, post-test results showed a significant improvement; 37% of participants scored in the 71-80 range, and another 37% scored in the 81-90 range. These results indicate that the education provided successfully enhanced participants' understanding of the importance of ARV adherence. Despite the improvements, challenges remain regarding adherence, particularly for those lacking family support. This highlights the need for additional strategies to enhance social support for ODHIV. Participation in this activity was predominantly male, with most participants having a high school education. The post-test results confirmed a significant increase in understanding compared to the pre-test. Puskesmas and community health workers should conduct regular monitoring and evaluation of ARV adherence to prevent loss to follow-up in treatment.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Puskesmas plays a vital role in food safety supervision, including the identification of hazardous substances in food that can cause health issues, such as anemia. The knowledge of healthcare workers regarding food additives and colorants is crucial to protect the community from these risks. Community service activities were conducted at Puskesmas Simpang Kawat, Jambi City, involving 32 healthcare workers. The training program was designed to enhance their ability to identify hazardous substances such as borax, formalin, and metanil yellow, with both theoretical material and practical examination. Participants' knowledge was assessed before and after the training and subsequently analyzed using SPSS. The training participants, the majority aged 35-50 years (72%), showed a significant increase in knowledge before and after the training. The results of the pre-test and post-test questionnaires indicated a significant relationship regarding their understanding of hazardous substances before and after the training. This training not only improved technical knowledge but also boosted the confidence and motivation of healthcare workers. They are nowcapable of conducting accurate inspections in the field and educating the community about the dangers of hazardous substances in food. This initiative successfully enhanced the skills and knowledge of healthcare workers at Puskesmas Simpang Kawat in identifying hazardous substances. With improved knowledge, they can actively contribute to food safety and raise community awareness, potentially creating a positive longterm impact on public health. ABSTRAK Puskesmas berperan penting dalam pengawasan keamanan pangan, termasuk identifikasi zat berbahaya dalam makanan yang dapat menyebabkan masalah kesehatan, seperti anemia. Pengetahuan petugas kesehatan mengenai bahan tambahan dan pewarna makanan sangat krusial untuk melindungi masyarakat dari risiko tersebut. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat dilaksanakan di Puskesmas Simpang Kawat, Kota Jambi, melibatkan 32 petugas kesehatan. Program pelatihan dirancang untuk meningkatkan kemampuan mereka dalam mengidentifikasi zat berbahaya, seperti boraks, formalin, dan metanil yellow, dengan materi teoretis dan praktik pemeriksaan. Peserta akan dinilai pengetahuannya sebelum dan setelah pelatihan untuk selanjutnya dianalisis menggunakan spss. Peserta pelatihan, yang mayoritas berusia 35-50 tahun (72%), menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan dalam pengetahuan sebelum dan setelah pelatihan. Hasil kuisioner pre-test dan post-test menunjukkan adanya hubungan yang signifikan terkait pemahaman mereka tentang zat berbahaya sebelum dan setelah pelatihan. Pelatihan ini tidak hanya meningkatkan pengetahuan teknis, tetapi juga kepercayaan diri dan motivasi petugas kesehatan. Mereka kini mampu melakukan pemeriksaan akurat di lapangan dan memberikan edukasi kepada masyarakat tentang bahaya zat berbahaya dalam makanan.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a growing public health concern worldwide, including in Indonesia. The Indonesian Chronic Disease Management Program (PROLANIS) aims to empower individuals and families affected by DM through community-based health education. This study employed an educational intervention delivered through a counseling session on the importance of family medicine principles and dietary management for DM patients. A pre-test was administered to assess the participants' baseline knowledge, followed by the educational session, and concluded with a post-test. A total of 37 participants were involved in this activity, the majority of whom were middle-aged women with a senior high school level of education. Pre-test results indicated that 57% of participants had a low level of understanding. However, the post-test revealed a significant improvement, with 76% of participants achieving a score in the 6-10 range. Nevertheless, some participants still required further guidance. Despite the observed increase in knowledge, the application of family medicine principles within the PROLANIS program in the working area of the Rawasari Community Health Center remains suboptimal. The active engagement of participants during the question-and-answer session highlighted the need for additional support in implementing these principles. The educational program successfully enhanced participants' understanding of diabetes management. However, continuous monitoring and periodic evaluation by the Community Health Center and community health workers (cadres) are necessary to improve the application of family medicine principles within the PROLANIS program in its designated area.
