Abstract

Stunting remains a public health issue in Indonesia, including in West Bandung Regency (KBB). Insufficient optimal nutrition is often exacerbated by poor appetite in children under two years old (Baduta) and pregnant women. This Community Service Program (PkM) aimed to improve the knowledge, attitudes, and skills (KAS) of the community particularly mothers and Posyandu cadres in Cisasawi Village in utilizing Temulawak (Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb.) as a locally sourced, affordable, and sustainable complementary nutrition intervention to address stunting risk. The PkM implementation involved pre-intervention, development of educational modules and media, education and demonstration, post-intervention, and follow-up stages. Participants consisted of 32 mothers of Baduta, pregnant women, and Posyandu cadres. Results showed a significant increase in the participants’ average knowledge scores, from 58.7 (poor category) in the pre-test to 85.3 (good category) in the post-test (p < 0.05). Additionally, 93% of participants demonstrated practical skills in processing Temulawak into simple syrup or powdered gelatin. Discussion indicated that Temulawak is effective as a natural appetite stimulant due to its curcuminoid and essential oil content, supporting increased daily calorie intake, which is crucial for stunting prevention. This PkM concluded that education based on local wisdom is an effective and sustainable strategy to support community nutrition improvement programs in Cisasawi Village.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health concern in Indonesia, where high prevalence rates are often linked to limited community awareness of prevention, transmission, and treatment adherence. This Community Service Program (PkM) aimed to improve knowledge and strengthen preventive behaviors among residents of Cihanjuang Rahayu Village, West Bandung, through an interactive family based educational intervention. A quasi experimental design with pre and post test assessments was applied to 45 high risk participants, including family heads and core household members. Educational sessions focused on TB symptoms, proper cough etiquette, home ventilation, and the implementation of the Family Directly Observed Treatment Short course (F-DOTS) model. Findings revealed significant improvements in knowledge (mean pre test = 58.2; post test = 87.9; p < 0.001) and preventive behavior (mean pre test = 65.1; post test = 90.3; p < 0.001). These outcomes demonstrate the effectiveness of interactive learning strategies such as group discussions, simulations, and family centered case studies in promoting behavioral change. The family based approach was especially valuable, as family members play a pivotal role in supporting treatment compliance and maintaining healthy home environments. The program’s success suggests the need for integrating similar educational initiatives into local primary health center (Puskesmas) outreach to accelerate Indonesia’s TB elimination target by 2030.

The government is working to reduce the stunting rate to 14 percent by 2024. All levels of society are encouraged to participate in preventing and overcoming the stunting problem, including the elderly. Elderly people who are in the phase of decreasing body capacity still have the potential to play a role in the family. One of those who applied was a caregiver for a family member, in this case involved in carrying out activities to care for and look after grandchildren. Based on research, many elderly people do not have sufficient knowledge about stunting prevention. The elderly need strengthening to carry out their role, especially in preventing stunting in the family. Therefore, the aim of this community service is aimed at empowering the role of the elderly in preventing stunting through education. The method used is through health education regarding stunting and cooking complete nutritious food in Mokla village, Cihanjuang Rahayu, Parongpong District, West Bandung. After this PKM activity, counseling and cooking demonstration, the elderly participants had an understanding of stunting and how to prevent it by maintaining children's personal hygiene so that they are not susceptible to infection and also had the skills to provide complete nutritious food. It is recommended that this strengthening be carried out continuously and regularly because the elderly have a tendency to forget.Keywords: elderly role; empowerment; prevention; stunting

Abstract

Hypertension is known as the "silent killer" and remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally. In Indonesia, the prevalence of hypertension is still high, particularly in rural areas where access to accurate health information is often limited. This Community Service Program (Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat, or PkM) aimed to improve community health literacy and self-management skills related to hypertension prevention and control among residents of Cihanjuang Rahayu Village, West Bandung Regency. The PkM activities included basic health screening, interactive health education sessions (lectures, discussions, and demonstrations), and evaluation using a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test questionnaires on knowledge and behaviour. A total of approximately 35 participants were involved, consisting of older adults, health cadres, and individuals at risk for hypertension. The findings indicated a significant increase (p < .05) in participants’ knowledge scores, from a pre-test mean of 64.5 to a post-test mean of 89.2. The greatest improvement was observed in understanding lifestyle modification, especially the importance of a low-salt diet and medication adherence. The program successfully empowered the community by enhancing knowledge and awareness about hypertension prevention and management. Increased health literacy is expected to contribute to long-term behavioural change, supporting early detection and sustainable control of hypertension at the community level.
