Abstract

Children with intellectual disabilities require additional support in understanding sexual and reproductive health due to decision-making challenges and limited educational and socio-cultural support. This study explored teachers’ challenges and strategies in delivering such education. A qualitative descriptive design was conducted in a special school involving five teachers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through focus group discussions (FGDs) and analyzed using inductive content analysis. Five themes revealed challenges in managing sexual behaviors that were not aligned with cognitive development. Teachers implemented habituation, experience-based learning, and counseling to support understanding of bodily changes, social norms, and self-regulation during puberty, supported by collaboration among schools, parents, and health professionals. These findings highlight the importance of adaptive and collaborative approaches. Schools should integrate experience-based learning and strengthen partnerships with families and health professionals. Anak dengan disabilitas intelektual membutuhkan dukungan tambahan dalam memahami kesehatan seksual dan reproduksi akibat keterbatasan dalam pengambilan keputusan serta dukungan sistem pendidikan dan sosial-budaya yang masih terbatas. Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi tantangan dan strategi guru dalam memberikan edukasi tersebut. Penelitian menggunakan desain deskriptif kualitatif di Sekolah Luar Biasa dengan lima guru yang dipilih secara purposive. Data dikumpulkan melalui diskusi kelompok terarah (FGD) dan dianalisis menggunakan inductive content analysis. Hasil penelitian mengidentifikasi lima tema yang menunjukkan tantangan dalam mengelola perilaku seksual yang tidak sejalan dengan perkembangan kognitif. Guru menerapkan strategi berupa pembiasaan, pembelajaran berbasis pengalaman, dan konseling untuk mendukung pemahaman perubahan tubuh, norma sosial, serta pengaturan diri selama pubertas, melalui kolaborasi antara sekolah, orang tua, dan tenaga kesehatan. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya pendekatan yang adaptif dan kolaboratif. Sekolah perlu mengintegrasikan pembelajaran berbasis pengalaman serta memperkuat kemitraan dengan keluarga dan tenaga kesehatan.

Abstract: Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Indonesia, largely driven by unhealthy lifestyles such as an unbalanced diet, lack of physical activity, and smoking. Promotive and preventive efforts through public education are crucial strategies for reducing the incidence of this disease. This community service activity aims to increase public knowledge and awareness about the importance of a healthy lifestyle in preventing cardiovascular disease in Mojosongo Village, RT 3 RW 5, Surakarta. Promoting health education, interactive discussions, and demonstrations of healthy lifestyle practices such as simple physical activity and healthy food choices. Evaluation used pre- and post-tests to measure improvements in participants' knowledge. The activity showed an increase in the good pre-test category of 30%, while at the post-test it increased by 58%, the sufficient category at the pre-test was 34%, while at the post-test was 24%, and the poor category at the pre-test was 36%, while at the post-test was 18%. This was significant in public knowledge about risk factors and the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, participants showed high enthusiasm and commitment to implementing a healthy lifestyle in their daily lives. This activity demonstrates that community-based health education is effective in increasing public knowledge and awareness regarding cardiovascular disease prevention. The "Care for the Heart Community Movement" program is expected to become a model for sustainable, promotive, and preventive interventions at the community level.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health concern in Indonesia, with long-term implications for child development and national productivity. Community health workers (CHWs) play a key role in promoting and preventing stunting at the community level. Cultural traditions such as bancaan, a Javanese communal gathering, present unique opportunities to convey health messages in a culturally resonant manner. This study aimed to assess the level of knowledge among CHWs regarding stunting prevention, both from biomedical and local wisdom perspectives, with particular attention to the bancaan tradition. A quantitative, cross-sectional study was conducted involving 53 CHWs in the working area of Ceper Primary Health Center, Klaten Regency, selected through total sampling. A validated structured questionnaire was employed, and data were analyzed descriptively. The majority of CHWs (84.9%) demonstrated a high level of knowledge concerning stunting prevention, including awareness of bancaan as a culturally rooted educational medium. CHWs in the study area possess strong knowledge of both biomedical and cultural approaches to stunting prevention. Integrating local traditions such as bancaan into CHW training and community health interventions is recommended to enhance the cultural relevance and effectiveness of public health messaging

Abstract

Background: Diarrhea remains one of the leading causes of death in children, making prevention and control efforts crucial. Health education, using media such as leaflets and audio-visual tools, plays a vital role in raising awareness. This activity aims to implement a school-based community service programme and evaluate the improvement in knowledge and attitudes towards diarrhoea prevention among fifth-grade students at SDN Temboro 1 after audiovisual-based health education. Methods: This school-based PkM programme presented audiovisual modules on diarrhoea prevention to 36 fifth-grade students and conducted pre- and post-tests to monitor their learning outcomes. Knowledge was measured using a structured questionnaire (multiple choice/true-false), and attitudes were measured using a 4-point Likert scale; both were administered immediately before and after the session. Results: Pre- and post-monitoring showed improvement in both approaches; the audiovisual group recorded an average knowledge score of 70.89 and an attitude score of 66.33 after the session. These findings confirm that audiovisual education is more effective in optimising understanding and attitudes towards diarrhoea prevention in the context of school-based PkM. Conclusion: Audio-visual health education proves to be an effective method in enhancing both knowledge and attitudes toward diarrhea prevention in elementary school students.
