Abstract

The Berkah Balai Baru Waste Bank was established on 20 November 2021. The waste management activity running at this Waste Bank is the waste deposit activity. Another program that has yet to be implemented is empowering waste bank officers and customers to make green bags to reduce plastic waste. Waste bank officers still need to gain the skills to create green bags. This service activity aims to increase people's insight into the dangers of plastic waste for environmental health and improve people's skills in making green bags. The educational methods used are persuasive communication, lectures, and two-way dialogue. During training, the method used is the product creation and practice training method; during activity mentoring, monitoring and evaluation of activities were carried out. This community service activity targets officers and customers of the Berkah Balai Baru waste bank. The results of the community service activities were that after carrying out the pre and post-test and comparing the score results, it was found that there was an increase in participants' knowledge by 29.9%, and there was participant enthusiasm, as shown by the feedback during the discussion session. Waste bank officers have been able to make shopping bags that can be used when shopping and can be a business opportunity for the Berkah Balai Baru Waste Bank. With this activity, waste bank officers have contributed to reducing plastic waste in the environment.

Abstract

Dental caries is a major health issue commonly affecting children in Indonesia, including those in Lembah Melintang District, West Pasaman. To support the Indonesia Free of Caries 2030 program, preventive efforts are needed through the training and empowerment of school-level dental health agents, known as "young dentists." This preventive approach aims to establish collective behavior in maintaining dental health and to create a sustainable culture of dental health awareness within schools and the community. The purpose of this training initiative is to enhance teachers’ knowledge and skills in teaching the importance of dental and oral health to students. Furthermore, through the empowerment of young dentists, selected students are trained as health agents to contribute to maintaining dental health at school. The methods used in this program include lectures, interactive discussions, and hands-on practice on oral health maintenance. Results showed an increase in teachers’ understanding of dental and oral health, as well as active student involvement as young dentists fulfilling their roles as health agents. Additionally, an improvement in understanding was observed, reflected in increased scores from pretest to posttest. The conclusion of this activity is that the training of teachers and young dentists can strengthen preventive health measures at schools and support the national goal of Indonesia Free of Caries 2030. This training and empowerment model has proven effective in raising awareness and encouraging community participation in early dental caries prevention.

Abstract

Sanitasi adalah elemen yang penting untuk menunjang kesehatan masyarakat. Kondisi sanitasi seperti sumber air bersih, kondisi dan kepemilikan jamban, pengelolaan sampah dan Saluran Pembuangan Air Limbah (SPAL) sangat perlu mendapat perhatian terutama di lingkungan permukiman kumuh agar tidak menjadi faktor risiko kejadian penyakit berbasis lingkungan. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk melihat gambaran distribusi frekuensi sumber air bersih, kondisi dan kepemilikan jamban, pengelolaan sampah dan SPAL di wilayah permukiman kumuh Kota Padang. Desain penelitian ini adalah deskriptif analitik dengan pendekatan kuantitatif. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di wilayah permukiman kumuh Kota Padang pada bulan April-Oktober tahun 2024. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh masyarakat yang berada pada wilayah pemukimah kumuh Kota Padang yaitu 3.354 KK dari 22 kelurahan. Sampel pada penelitian ini sebanyak 373 responden dari 11 kelurahan terpilih dengan teknik pengambilan sampel proportional random sampling. Teknik pengumpulan data berupa observasi dan wawancara. Sebanyak 39,4 % sumber air bersih responden berasal dari sumur gali, sebanyak 16,1 % memiliki jamban, namun bukan leher angsa, tidak ada tutup, dan disalurkan ke sungai/kolam, sebanyak 20,4 % responden tidak memiliki sarana pembuangan sampah dan 77,7 % memiliki SPAL yang terbuka. Pemerintah Kota Padang perlu mempertimbangkan upaya untuk memperbaiki dan memperluas akses terhadap sumber air bersih yang lebih aman dan berkelanjutan, serta perlu upaya edukasi tentang perilaku hidup bersih dan sehat dengan pendekatan yang lebih komprehensif terutama di lingkungan permukiman kumuh.
