Abstract

Breastfeeding is very effective for babies; all their nutritional needs can be met through breast milk. This service activity aims to provide information about the relationship between mothers' knowledge and attitudes toward exclusive breastfeeding. This method uses action research with a participatory action program approach that involves the target community group, namely pregnant women. The result of devotion was an increase in knowledge of 66% and an attitude of 60% after counseling. It can be concluded that this community service provides many benefits for the natural form of targets, namely, the increase in knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women after counseling. Changes in knowledge and attitudes are expected to change behavior in society towards exclusive breastfeeding by applying the knowledge gained in everyday life.

Abstract

Communication skills in English are an essential competency for nursing students to face the challenges of globalization and international healthcare services. However, many students still struggle to express themselves confidently in real clinical contexts. This community service program aimed to enhance the communication ability of nursing students through English training using the role-play method. The training was conducted with final-year nursing students at Politeknik Sandi Karsa and applied a participatory approach consisting of lectures, demonstrations, role play simulations, group discussions, and reflective evaluations. Various clinical scenarios were designed, such as explaining medication usage, calming anxious patients, and describing vital sign procedures. The program was implemented over two days, with the first day focusing on interactive material delivery and facilitator demonstrations, while the second day emphasized practical role-play performance with direct feedback. A total of 23 students participated actively in this activity. The results indicated a significant improvement in students’ confidence and ability to use English in professional healthcare communication. Participants expressed positive responses toward the method, highlighting that role play reduced speaking anxiety, increased motivation, and fostered readiness for real clinical interactions. The Focus Group Discussion (FGD) confirmed that this method not only improved English proficiency but also enhanced soft skills such as empathy, teamwork, and therapeutic communication. The outcomes suggest that role–play–based English training is an effective strategy to support nursing education and should be integrated regularly into the curriculum to prepare graduates for global healthcare demands
