Abstract

The present study aims to investigate the impact of community service based on environmental education on increasing environmental awareness among Indonesian youth. The present study employed a descriptive quantitative approach, utilising a pre-experimental design of a single group, pretest-posttest type. These coding techniques were employed to identify narrative patterns, group dynamics and the supporting and inhibiting factors that emerged during the learning process. The descriptive analysis demonstrated a significant increase in all indicators of environmental awareness following the implementation of the community service-based education programme, including participants' knowledge, attitudes, behaviours, and self-efficacy. Furthermore, a significant increase in attitudes was observed, from an initial score of 68.2 to a post-intervention score of 86.7. These results underscore the significance of programme design that integrates critical learning theory, transformative approaches, and community participation in fostering a generation that is aware of, concerned about, and actively engaged in environmental sustainability. It is hoped that this initiative will set a precedent for sustainable community service and make a meaningful contribution to the development of a future-oriented environmental agenda.

Abstract

Acute respiratory infection (ARI) is one of the diseases that often affects toddlers, especially in densely populated environments that have a high risk of transmission. Purpose: this study aims to analyze the risk factors for the occurrence of ARI in children under five who live in an environment with high population density. Methods: the method used is observational with cross-sectional design on 50 toddlers purposively selected in densely populated areas. Data collection was conducted through interviews using questionnaires and observation of Home environmental conditions. Univariate analysis was used to describe the characteristics of respondents, while bivariate analysis with chi-square test was used to determine the relationship between risk factors with the incidence of ARI. Results: the results showed that exposure to cigarette smoke in the Home (p = 0.005), inadequate ventilation (p = 0.002), and density of occupancy (p = 0.020) were significantly associated with the incidence of ARI in toddlers. Implications: the implication of this study is the need for increased family education on the importance of a healthy home environment and reduced exposure to secondhand smoke to prevent ARI. Conclusion: environmental factors and family behavior are the main determinants of ARI risk in toddlers in densely populated environments, so environmental health interventions and health education are needed.
