Abstract

The conservation of mangrove forests in Bosua Village, Mentawai, is very important given their vital function in mitigating natural disasters such as floods, coastal erosion, and tsunamis. Mangrove forests act as wave barriers and shoreline protectors, as well as important habitats for various marine species that support the local economy through sustainable fisheries. Therefore, increasing public awareness of the importance of mangrove conservation is crucial. The aim of this activity is to educate and empower the community to actively participate in conservation efforts, which involves mangrove planting mutual cooperation activities, the formation of environmental awareness groups, and collaboration with NGOs, government, and academics. The activity methods used are providing education using lectures, educational videos, distributing flyers and posters and planting mangrove seedlings on the beach. To measure the success of education, pre tests and post tests were used to measure the level of community knowledge about mangrove forest conservation. The results of this activity increased community knowledge by 6.13, from 12.53 (before education) to 18.66 (after education). The T-test results obtained a p-value <0.001. That is, statistically it can be concluded that there is a significant average difference between community knowledge before and after education. The conclusion of this activity is that after being given education, the average community has increased knowledge about mangrove forest conservation as an effort to reduce disaster risk. It is hoped that the community and local government will be able to maintain and preserve mangrove forests in the Bosua Village area as a form of effort in disaster mitigation.

Abstract

The research conducted by UNICEF in Indonesia in 2020 revealed that one in five girls is unaware of menstrual hygiene management. Taboos and stigma also limit the activities of female students during menstruation. Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) is the method of maintaining cleanliness and health for women during their menstrual cycle. The Ministry of Health is improving menstrual hygiene by implementing three aspects in the School Health Effort (Trias UKS), including health education, health services, and a healthy school environment. Community service activities were conducted at the Elementary School of SDN 47 Korong Gadang, Padang City, on 3 June 2022. The number of participants was 30 students from the 4th and 5th grades. Education was delivered through lectures and discussions, supported by visual aids such as slides and leaflets. The evaluation used pretests and post-tests to determine whether there was an improvement in students' knowledge. After the education session, it was found that 60% of the students had acquired a high level of knowledge regarding menstrual hygiene management. The results of this community service can serve as a lesson that education related to personal hygiene during menstruation is crucial. It is because some female students, while menstruating, experience bullying from male students and encounter obstacles in practicing menstrual hygiene at school.

Abstract

Social media has created opportunities for children to become victims of bullying, sexual harassment, and other criminal activities. The target of this service activity is children who are in the transition phase to adolescence. This activity aims to educate school-aged children about the impact of social media on mental health and sexual violence against children at SDN 14 Gurun Laweh, Kota Padang. The education is delivered through lectures and discussions, complemented by pre-tests and post-tests to assess knowledge after receiving counseling on the impact of social media on mental health and sexual violence against children. These tests play a crucial role in evaluating the effectiveness of the program and guiding future interventions. Based on the difference in average scores before and after the counseling, students showed a significant improvement in three indicators: social media knowledge, which increased by 6,4; attitudes and actions, which changed by 4,2; and mental health and sexual violence awareness, which improved by 3,5. Preventive steps and interventions are essential to protect children from crime risk. Proper education for children by parents, teachers, and the surrounding community on how to use social media wisely and safely is critical to preventing sexual violence and reducing its negative impact on children's mental health.

Abstract

Kusta atau lepra adalah penyakit menular kronis yang disebabkan oleh Mycobacterium leprae dan dapat menyebabkan cacat permanen jika tidak diobati. Penyakit ini masih menjadi masalah kesehatan di Indonesia, dengan prevalensi 2,5 per 100.000 penduduk pada 2021, terutama di daerah dengan prevalensi tinggi seperti Nusa Tenggara Timur, Jawa Timur, dan Sulawesi Selatan. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengintegrasikan temuan dari berbagai studi yang tersedia guna memberikan pemahaman yang lebih komprehensif tentang faktor risiko yang memengaruhi kejadian kusta di Indonesia. Penelitian menggunakan metode systematic review dengan mengacu pada pedoman PRISMA. Pencarian literatur dilakukan melalui tiga database utama, yaitu Science Direct, PubMed, dan Google Scholar, dengan kata kunci yang relevan. Artikel yang dipilih adalah yang diterbitkan antara tahun 2016 hingga 2024, menggunakan desain penelitian observasional yang membahas hubungan faktor risiko dengan kejadian kusta di Indonesia. Sebanyak 8 artikel yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dianalisis. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa riwayat kontak dengan penderita kusta merupakan faktor risiko utama, diikuti oleh personal hygiene, kepadatan hunian, dan pengetahuan. Riwayat kontak dengan penderita kusta menunjukkan hubungan signifikan dalam sebagian besar studi. Edukasi masyarakat tentang pencegahan kusta dan perbaikan kondisi lingkungan sangat penting untuk mengurangi penyebaran penyakit ini. Upaya pengendalian kusta harus memprioritaskan pemutusan rantai penularan melalui deteksi dini dan pengobatan, serta ditunjang dengan peningkatan pengetahuan, sanitasi, dan pengurangan kepadatan hunian untuk secara efektif menurunkan angka kejadian kusta di Indonesia.

Abstract

Sungai Pisang Village is confronted with several public health issues, particularly a high incidence of diseases attributable to inadequate sanitation facilities and unhealthy lifestyle practices. This community-based intervention aimed to improve clean and healthy living behaviors through a combination of educational strategies and practical disease prevention activities. The intervention consisted of structured health education sessions, hands-on demonstrations of hygiene practices, and subsequent evaluations to measure behavioral outcomes and program effectiveness. Active engagement from community members and institutional support from the local health center facilitated program implementation. Findings revealed a significant increase in public awareness and the adoption of clean and healthy living behaviors practices, especially in terms of environmental hygiene, healthy dietary behavior, and preventive health measures. The results suggest that such integrative health promotion efforts can effectively foster sustainable behavioral changes, provided that continuous support from stakeholders is maintained.
