Abstract

Yoga has been proven effective in helping reduce dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain) in adolescent girls by enhancing muscle relaxation, blood circulation, and hormonal balance. Proper yoga techniques can alleviate muscle tension and improve flexibility, which may help relieve pain and discomfort during menstruation. This community service activity aims to provide education and counseling on the benefits of yoga as a non-medical approach to reducing dysmenorrhea for students at SMAN 1 Pangkep Makassar. The methods used in this activity include counseling, demonstrations of yoga poses, and joint practice sessions guided by an experienced yoga instructor. Student participation was documented and evaluated to measure their increased understanding of yoga and its effects on menstrual pain. The results of this activity showed that 85% of participants reported a decrease in pain intensity after regularly practicing the yoga poses taught, compared to their condition before the training. This counseling successfully improved students’ knowledge and skills in managing dysmenorrhea through yoga and encouraged them to take better care of their health. Thus, this counseling not only provides a practical solution for students in addressing menstrual pain but also has the potential to enhance the quality of life and well-being of adolescent girls in school and community environments

The methods included socialization, counseling, hands-on training, as well as monitoring and evaluation. The training covered oxytocin massage techniques, the use of lavender aromatherapy, and the preparation of herbal galactagogues. Participants consisted of 20 health cadres and 15 pregnant women. The results showed an increase in participants’ knowledge, from 11% to 74% in the "good" category, and in skills, from 14% to 66% after training. Cadre logbooks indicated sustained implementation of the practices in the community.

Abstract

Nutritional problems remain a major public health challenge in Indonesia, particularly in rural areas, and contribute to the high risk of stunting among children under five. The utilization of locally available, nutrient-dense foods is one of the key strategies in family- and community-based stunting prevention. This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of posyandu cadres, pregnant women, and mothers with toddlers in utilizing Moringa oleiferaleaves as a local superfood to improve family nutrition and prevent stunting in Tabo-Tabo Village, Pangkep Regency. The methods included initial coordination, participant identification and recruitment, knowledge pre-test, nutrition education, practical training on processing Moringa oleifera leaves, post-test, as well as monitoring and evaluation through cadre logbooks in 2 weeks. A total of 30 participants were involved, consisting of 12 posyandu cadres and 18 mothers with toddlers. The results showed an increase in participants’ knowledge, with the proportion of participants in the good knowledge category rising from 13% before the activity to 77% after the activity. Skills in processing Moringa oleiferaleaves also increased significantly, from 17% to 67% in the good category. Post-activity monitoring indicated that most participants had begun to routinely incorporate Moringa oleifera leaves into their daily family menus. This activity proved effective in improving family nutrition knowledge, skills, and practices through an applicable, affordable, and sustainable local food–based education and training approach, and has the potential to support community-level stunting prevention efforts.
