Abstract

Community service activities carried out in Teunbaun Village, Kupang Regency, aim to increase the knowledge and understanding of Christ Raja Elementary School students about personal hygiene and skin diseases, especially dermatophytes. Through educational activities held for 30 students in grades 5 and 6, the service team succeeded in increasing students' understanding of risk factors, symptoms and prevention of skin diseases. The results of the education carried out show an increase in students' knowledge and understanding. Personal hygiene practices such as bathing, brushing teeth and washing hands regularly are seen as one of the efforts that can be taken to prevent the spread of germs and increase the risk of skin diseases. Furthermore, educational activities like this need to be carried out on an ongoing basis to increase students' understanding and awareness of the importance of maintaining health.

Abstract

Hypertension is a medical condition in which an individual experiences a persistent increase in blood pressure above the normal threshold, defined as a systolic pressure ≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic pressure ≥90 mmHg. Hypertension, commonly referred to as high blood pressure, is a major risk factor for heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and various other health complications. This community engagement program aimed to improve knowledge, awareness, and preventive behaviors regarding hypertension among adolescents through health education, innovative interactive educational media, and the involvement of peer health agents at SMPN 1 Kupang Timur. The activities was conducted through several stages, including an initial survey, health education using booklets and interactive websites, and the training of peer health agents from the student council (OSIS). Evaluation results showed a significant improvement: among the 50 participating students, the average score for hypertension knowledge increased from 61.5 to 80.5, with 44 students (88%) showing improvement. Knowledge as a peer health agent rose from 55.7 to 84.8 (92%), and the ability to educate peers saw the most significant jump, from 30.3 to 89.9 (98%) after the intervention. These findings confirm that interactive media and peer education-based approaches are effective in promoting behavioral change and sustainable hypertension prevention within the school environment. This program offers valuable implications for developing similar initiatives in other schools to reduce the incidence of hypertension among adolescents.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension in adolescents is becoming an increasingly important health issue because it can continue into adulthood and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease later in life. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of hypertension and pre-hypertension and to analyze the related factors in adolescents in peri-urban areas. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design conducted in October 2023 on 40 Christian Junior High School 4 Mebung students in Alor Regency. The sample selection was purposive, with inclusion criteria of 13–16 years old. Data were collected using structured questionnaires, interviews, and blood pressure measurements. Blood pressure was measured three times to ensure the accuracy of the measurement results. Data analysis included univariate analysis to describe the characteristics of the respondents and chi-square test to assess the relationship between independent variables (sodium intake, physical activity, parental history of hypertension, sleep duration, sleep quality, and stress) with hypertension status. Results: Pre-hypertension prevalence was 30%, and hypertension was 20%. Three factors showed a significant relationship with hypertension: a history of hypertension in the father (p-value = 0.038), high sodium intake (p-value = 0.002), and sleep duration of less than 8 hours (p-value = 0.001). Other factors, such as a history of hypertension in the mother, physical activity, sleep disorders, and stress, did not show a significant relationship. Conclusion: Hypertension in adolescents in peri-urban areas is related to genetic factors and lifestyle behavior. Prevention efforts need to be focused on low-sodium nutritional education, adequate sleep management, and routine blood pressure screening in schools.

Abstract

Nutritional problems among children under five remain a concern in Rote Barat Laut District, while local food resources such as sorghum and fish have not yet been optimally utilized in community-based food processing. This community service program aimed to strengthen the practical capacity of Posyandu cadres to utilize local food resources through the production of sorghum-fish nuggets to support supplementary feeding activities (Pemberian Makanan Tambahan or PMT). The program involved 30 participants, consisting of 15 Posyandu cadres and 15 mothers of children under five, and included a needs assessment, nutrition education, production demonstrations and hands-on practice, packaging, distribution, and an introduction to basic marketing. Pretests and posttests were administered as part of the formative evaluation. Following supervised practical sessions, all 15 cadres completed the main production and packaging stages during the simulation session, as documented through direct observation by the implementation team. The activity produced 100 nuggets, which were divided into 20 packages and distributed through mothers or caregivers to 20 children under five registered at the Posyandu. A cadre-based group was also initiated as an initial platform for follow-up production and marketing activities. The program demonstrated the preliminary feasibility of practice-based training for promoting the utilization of local food resources. However, further evaluation is required regarding formulation standardization, nutritional content, food safety, acceptability, and post-program sustainability.
