Abstract

Community empowerment is one of the main strategies in addressing the challenges faced by rural communities. However, rural empowerment efforts are often faced with various barriers, including low health literacy, dependence on external assistance, and lack of sustainable policy support. This study aims to explore the potential and constraints of community empowerment in environmental health education, occupational safety and health (OSH), and balanced nutrition in rural areas. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews with community leaders, health workers, and village government, as well as focus group discussions with local communities. In addition, field observations were made to identify environmental conditions, community behaviours, and practices related to environmental health, OSH, and nutrition consumption patterns. The results of the research will be analysed using a thematic approach to identify patterns and relationships between community participation and the success of empowerment programmes. The findings suggest that community empowerment supported by participatory approaches, local needs-based education, and inter-sectoral synergies can be an effective strategy to address environmental health and OSH issues, and realise the sustainability of community development programmes.

Abstract

The implementation of the Clean and Healthy Living Behaviour (PHBS) programme in the elementary school environment constitutes a significant preventive measure in the reduction of the incidence of infectious diseases. The present research employs a descriptive qualitative approach through a participatory-based community service method that focuses on the implementation and evaluation of the effectiveness of the PHBS Program in preventing infectious diseases in the primary school environment. The target audience comprised 30 students in grades IV to VI, three homeroom teachers, and School Health Unit (UKS) administrators, all of whom participated in every stage of the activity. The qualitative data was analysed descriptively by comparing pretest and posttest scores, while qualitative data were analysed using data reduction techniques, thematic categorisation and narrative interpretation to obtain a more holistic picture of changes in students' knowledge, attitudes, behaviour, and collective awareness of the importance of healthy living. The programme has been demonstrated to be effective in the transformation of theoretical understanding into concrete habits within the school environment through the implementation of interactive, visual-based, and hands-on educational approaches, including role play and simulation. Its success has been demonstrated as a preventative strategy against infectious diseases, as well as an effective character-building approach for students in maintaining hygiene and health independently and sustainably.

Abstract

Teenage pregnancy is a significant public health problem, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of school-based comprehensive sexuality education in reducing teenage pregnancy rates through improving knowledge, attitudes, and preventive behaviours. The method used was a quasi-experiment with a pretest-posttest control group design on 200 secondary school students in an area with high pregnancy rates. The UNESCO guideline-based comprehensive sexuality education intervention covered biological, emotional, social aspects, and decision-making skills delivered through active learning. Data were collected using a validated structured questionnaire and analysed using t-test and multiple linear regression. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge, attitude, and pregnancy prevention behaviour scores in the intervention group compared to the control (p < 0.001). The regression model revealed that knowledge and attitude were the main predictors of prevention behaviour with a contribution of 54.2%. These findings confirm that comprehensive sexuality education is effective in improving reproductive health literacy and shaping healthy and responsible sexual behaviour. Therefore, the main recommendation is to integrate this programme into the national curriculum and strengthen teacher training to support sustainable teenage pregnancy prevention.
