Abstract

The effective communication is crucial for providing good service at the Community Health Center (Puskesmas). One major issue that can lead to patient dissatisfaction is the communication skills of health workers. When these workers struggle to communicate well, patients may feel poorly served and find it hard to understand their health conditions and care instructions. To address this problem, the Communication Department of FISIP UNAIR organized a training called "Communication Skills Training for Health Workers to Improve Puskesmas Services at the Sidoarjo Regency." The aim of the training was to minimize communication errors between doctors and patients and enhance the community’s view of services at the Puskesmas. The training included various sessions for health workers. They had the chance to share their thoughts, understand patient backgrounds, and practice listening skills. They also learned how to use facial expressions, gestures, and polite language when communicating with patients through role-play exercises. The results of the training were positive. Participants could explain the material through role-play and improved their active listening skills. They managed their facial expressions, gestures, and voice tone better, and applied polite communication with patients from different backgrounds. A final survey showed a 25% increase in communication skills, improving from 55% to 80%. In summary, the community service team concluded that the training was well received and effectively implemented by participants at their health centers.

Abstract

This study explores intergenerational communication dynamics in Balun Village, known as the “Pancasila Village” for its religious and cultural diversity. Using a qualitative approach within a cultural studies framework, it examines how harmony is built and maintained between Generation X—bearers of traditional values—and Generation Z—the digitally active generation. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and social media content analysis involving residents of various ages and religions. The findings reveal that intergenerational communication occurs not only verbally but also through actions, cultural participation, and digital symbolization. Generation X transmits harmony through daily practices and lived examples of tolerance, while Generation Z adapts these values through active involvement in youth organizations, interfaith festivals, and online content promoting diversity. Both generations play complementary roles in sustaining social cohesion: Gen X as preservers of local wisdom and Gen Z as mediators who reinterpret harmony in digital spaces. The study concludes that Balun Village’s multicultural harmony is maintained through continuous interaction between local traditions and digital expressions, highlighting intergenerational communication as a vital process for reproducing values, fostering social unity, and strengthening multicultural identity at the community level.
