Abstract

This PKM activity aims to implement a cervical cancer prevention program in Matungkas Village, Dimembe District, North Minahasa Regency, with a focus on mothers. Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women, but there is still a lack of awareness and knowledge about the disease in rural areas. This implementation methodology involves a participatory approach with local communities. This activity includes health counseling, early detection training, and socialization about Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination. Data was collected through surveys, interviews, and direct observation during community service activities. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in the knowledge and awareness of mothers in Matungkas Village about cervical cancer. The program identified several key risk factors and educated about the importance of routine screening and HPV vaccination. In addition, this program also increases involvement and support from relevant parties, such as local health workers and village governments, in efforts to prevent cervical cancer. This PKM activity makes an important contribution to efforts to prevent cervical cancer in Indonesia, especially in rural areas. The resulting recommendations are expected to be adopted by local governments and health institutions to develop similar programs in other regions that have similar demographic and social characteristics.

Abstract

Adolescence, from 10 years to 24 years, is the transitional stage when a child becomes an adult. This is a critical stage that affects the quality of life and adulthood. Family doctors, the first point of contact for healthcare services, play an important role in ensuring the growth and development of adolescents' lives. Family doctors have an advantage in supporting adolescent mental health, because of their comprehensive knowledge regarding patients and their families as well as their relationship with society or the community. The role of family doctors is discussed in the five star doctor concept.

Abstract

Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a significant public health problem at global and local levels, including in Manado City. The Malalayang District reports high case numbers due to population density and environmental conditions that support vector breeding. Although preventive information is easily accessible, community preventive practices remain suboptimal. Aim: To identify the factors associated with community practices in dengue hemorrhagic fever prevention in Malalayang District, Manado City. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used involving 110 respondents selected across three high-risk areas. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square tests. Results: Most respondents were female (57.3%), aged 17–25 years (30.0%), had a senior high school education (49.1%), were in the emerging middle class category (53.6%), and were exposed to dengue-related information (93.6%). Age (p = 0.001) and education level (p = 0.020) were significantly associated with preventive actions, whereas sex (p = 0.843), economic status (p = 0.144), and information exposure (p = 0.966) showed no significant associations. Conclusion: Dengue prevention practices in Malalayang are influenced by age and education level, while sex, economic status, and information exposure are not significantly associated.
