Abstract

One of the most crucial factors is growth, which needs to be treated carefully from a young age. However, parents and medical professionals frequently overlook this. From a young age, a lot of work needs to be done to maximize children's growth and development in order to prevent any unexpected delays or deviations. According to the World Health Organization, the global newborn weight incidence rate is still more than 5% below the recommended level. According to Riskesdas (2018), 33.6% of study participants reported eating difficulties, 44.5% had mild to moderate malnutrition, and 79.2% had had eating difficulties for longer than three months. Massage stimulation is a manual technique that can be used as one of the promotional efforts to overcome children's health issues. A child's brain will be stimulated by appropriate and sufficient stimulation, resulting in the development of motor skills, speech and language, independence and socializing, and behavior and emotions that are ideal for their age. The 2024 study by Wardani et al. on the impact of baby massage on weight gain in infants revealed that there was a correlation between the two, with 52.5% of infants aged 0–3 months who got baby massage gaining more than 1 kilogram each month. The majority of the 111 parents of toddlers who participated in the community service project at St. Matthew the Evangelist Church in Bintaro said they thought the exercise was helpful and would utilize it at home. In light of this, it can be said that this community service project was successful in educating participants about the benefits of massaging infants and toddlers.

Abstract

Reproductive health is a crucial aspect of improving the quality of life, especially for women of reproductive age. However, knowledge about reproductive health, including early detection of breast and cervical cancer, remains low in many communities. Limited access to reproductive health services, particularly in remote and economically disadvantaged areas, exacerbates this issue. This community service program aimed to enhance public awareness and provide direct health services through the Reproductive Health Service and Counseling under the theme "I Am Empowered Over My Body." This initiative included essential health screenings such as blood pressure measurement, BMI calculation, cholesterol, uric acid, and glucose level tests, along with reproductive health counseling and early detection services for breast and cervical cancer through SADARI (Breast Self-Examination) and IVA (Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid) tests. The program was conducted on September 29, 2024, at STIK Sint Carolus Graduate Building, Jakarta, in collaboration with Ipas Indonesia, Jakarta Feminist, and Doctors Without Stigma. A total of 81 participants attended, with 38 undergoing basic health screenings, 9 receiving reproductive health counseling, and 34 participating in SADARI and IVA test. The results showed that 97.05% of IVA screening participants had normal results, while 2.74% tested positive and were referred for further examination. Awareness of breast cancer detection through SADARI was significantly improved, and all participants could repeat the procedure independently. Additionally, among participants in basic health screenings, 11.53% were identified with mild hypertension, 40.54% had high uric acid levels, and 77.78% had glucose levels exceeding the normal range, indicating a need for continuous health monitoring and intervention. This program successfully enhanced participants’ knowledge of reproductive health and increased access to essential screening services. Future initiatives should focus on sustaining these efforts through continuous education, destigmatization of reproductive health examinations, and strengthening community-based healthcare support.

Abstract

Menopause is a natural biological phase in women that is characterized by the cessation of the menstrual cycle due to a decrease in the hormones estrogen and progesterone. A decrease in this hormone has implications for an increased risk of hypertension and degenerative diseases such as diabetes and osteoporosis. This phenomenon is also seen in the elderly in RW 07, Tanah Tinggi Village, Central Jakarta, with a prevalence of hypertension of 48.8% and diabetes mellitus of 16.3%. This community service aims to increase the knowledge and awareness of the elderly about the effects of menopause, the risk of hypertension, degenerative diseases, and provide health screening in the form of blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar checks during (GDS). The activity was held on July 11, 2025 with 82 elderly participants aged 40–72 years. The material was delivered through lectures and interactive discussions by supervisors and students, with PPT and leaflet media. Knowledge evaluation using pre-test and post-test was carried out on 35 participants who completed the questionnaire. The results showed an increase in the average score from 6.1 to 8.5, indicating an increase in understanding of educational materials. It also provides free health screening, allowing for early detection of the risk of degenerative diseases. The results of this service are in line with the literature that states that community-based education is effective in improving health literacy for the elderly. The combination of education and health screening has proven to be the right strategy for preventing complications of degenerative diseases....
