Abstract

This community service program aimed to improve students’ knowledge and practical skills regarding proper HWWS at SDN 107 Manado. The program was conducted on September 9, 2025, using a group-based health education approach. Educational activities included interactive lectures, audiovisual media, posters, educational songs, demonstrations, and supervised practice of the six-step handwashing technique recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). Program evaluation was conducted through observation, interactive questioning, and pretest–posttest assessment of students’ knowledge. Initial observations indicated that many students had limited understanding of the importance of HWWS and were unable to correctly perform the recommended handwashing procedures. Following the intervention, most participants demonstrated improved knowledge and were able to correctly perform the six-step handwashing technique. Students also showed high enthusiasm during practical sessions and actively participated in the learning process. In conclusion, the program effectively enhanced students’ knowledge and handwashing skills, highlighting the importance of interactive school-based health education in promoting healthy behaviors and preventing communicable diseases among elementary school students.

Abstract

Pulmonary Tuberculosis (Pulmonary TB) remains a serious global and national health problem, with Indonesia ranking second in the global TB case burden. Bitung City is the area with the second highest cases of Pulmonary TB in North Sulawesi Province, with a prevalence rate that tends to increase. Environmental factors such as population density and the physical condition of the house are suspected to play a role in the spread of the disease. Spatial analysis is needed to understand disease distribution patterns to support effective, region-based interventions. This study aims to describe the spatial distribution of Tuberculosis disease in Bitung City based on the altitude of the place and population density. This study uses a spatial analysis approach by mapping data on area height, population density, and the average number of pulmonary TB cases per year (2020-2023 period) in each sub-district in Bitung City. The data is analyzed descriptively by grouping each variable into specific categories and visualized in the form of a thematic map. The results of the study show that all sub-districts in Bitung City are included in the lowland category (0-200 meters above sea level), so that no significant variation was found in terms of the height of the place. A total of five sub-districts have a high population density, namely Aertembaga, Girian, Madidir, Maesa, and Matuari. This sub-district with a high population density also recorded the highest number of pulmonary TB cases, with Maesa as the sub-district with the highest cases (97.5 cases per year), followed by Girian, Aertembaga, Matuari, and Madidir. It was concluded that the distribution of pulmonary TB cases in Bitung City did not show variation based on the altitude of the place, but had a correlation with population density. Districts with high population density tend to be the areas with the highest burden of Pulmonary TB cases. These findings emphasize the importance of public health interventions focused on densely populated areas to control the transmission of pulmonary TB.

Abstract

The prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia continues to increase from year to year, especially in the city of Manado. The Central Statistics Agency of Manado City shows that hypertension is the disease with the highest prevalence in Manado City with a total of 27,604 cases in 2020. Hypertension risk factors are divided into 2 major parts, namely unmodified risk factors and modified risk factors. Non-modifiable risk factors such as age over 65 years, family history, and comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus (DM) or kidney disease. Risk factors that can be changed include an unhealthy diet (excessive salt consumption, a diet high in saturated fats and trans fats, low intake of fruits and vegetables), lack of physical activity, tobacco and alcohol consumption, and being overweight or obese. The purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation between age and smoking habits and the incidence of hypertension in the community in the city of Manado. This study is an observational research with a cross-sectional approach. The data was taken in Manado City. Data collection will be carried out in June 2024. Data collection was carried out through interviews using questionnaires. The data were analyzed using the square khi test. The results showed that the most distributed respondents were aged 50 years and over (63.3%), did not smoke (60.0%) and had hypertension (70.0%). The results of bivariate analysis obtained p values of 0.803 (age correlation with hypertension) and 0.328 (correlation between smoking habits and hypertension). This value suggests that there is no significant correlation between age and smoking habits and the incidence of hypertension. It can be concluded that age and smoking are not correlated to the incidence of hypertension in the people of Manado city.
