Abstract

Low public literacy regarding the utilization of medicinal plants as functional foods remains a challenge, particularly in rural areas. In fact, Curcuma xanthorrhiza (temulawak) and Zingiber officinale (ginger) contain bioactive compounds such as curcumin, gingerol, and shogaol, which have been proven to exert anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunostimulant effects. This community service program aimed to improve public knowledge and skills in processing these two herbs into functional gummy candies that are more practical, palatable, and economically valuable. The program was conducted in May 2025 in Nagari Sipinang, Agam Regency, involving 40 participants ranging from productive-age adults to the elderly. A participatory approach was applied, including pre-test, interactive lectures, group discussions, hands-on gummy preparation, quizzes, post-test, and mentoring. Evaluation instruments consisted of knowledge questionnaires, interactive quizzes, and skill observations. Success indicators included increased health literacy, practical skills, and interest in product development. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge, from 40% before the intervention to 85% afterward. More than 80% of participants were able to explain the health benefits of temulawak and ginger, and actively engaged in the gummy preparation process. Enthusiasm was also reflected in the high participation rate during discussions and quizzes, along with the expressed interest in developing gummy products as potential local businesses. In conclusion, an integrated educational program combined with practical training effectively enhanced community health literacy and skills. The innovation of temulawak–ginger gummy not only supports immune health but also offers potential economic opportunities through locally based functional food products.

Abstract

Introduction: Diarrhea is a condition where a person defecates with a soft or liquid stool consistency or even just water which can be accompanied by blood or foam with a frequency that is more frequent than usual in a day. Self-medication is an action taken by someone to treat themselves by recognizing the symptoms and illnesses felt, usually minor illnesses, then choosing drugs according to their wishes without going through a doctor's prescription. Methods: A descriptive study with cross-sectional approach to determine the recommended choice of diarrhea drugs without symptoms of infection for self-medication from pharmacies in Padang City, West Sumatra, Indonesia. Data were collected through proportional random sampling using the Slovin formula. From a total of 247 pharmacies in Padang City, data was collected from 38 pharmacies that had been proportioned in 11 sub-districts in Padang City. Participants in this study were pharmacists on duty at the pharmacy. Data were collected through structured interviews recorded by pharmacists in pharmacies with a single question, what drug do you give for self-medication to adult patients with mild diarrhea without symptoms of infection. Results: Drug recommendations from pharmacist in Padang City pharmacies are attapulgite, kaolin-pectin, activated carbon, loperamide, Oral Re-hydration Formula (ORS), zinc supplements, probiotics, and antacids. The drug recommendations given are in the form of single therapy and combination therapy. Assessment of recommendations that are said to be appropriate refers to the recommendations of Dipiro (2020), namely the provision of a single absorbent or absorbent plus ORS. The results of appropriate recommendations were obtained at 44.74% and those that were not appropriate were obtained at 55.26%. There is no statistically significant evidence to suggest a relationship between the education level of pharmacist and appropriate of the answer (p>0.05). Conclusion: There are still many mistakes made by pharmacists in recommending diarrhea drugs without symptoms of infection for self-medication in pharmacies.

Abstract

Access to proper sanitation facilities is an essential factor in improving public health. In Salak Village, Sawahlunto, more than 20% of households lack adequate bathing, washing, and toilet (MCK) facilities. The existing communal MCK was severely damaged and repurposed, resulting in its disuse by residents. This condition has led to insufficient access to basic sanitation and low implementation of clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS). This program employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, emphasizing active community participation in every stage of the activity. The stages included field observation, problem identification, joint planning, implementation of environmentally friendly communal MCK revitalization, and PHBS education. Data were collected through interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), and pre–post activity surveys involving 50 household heads as MCK users. After the revitalization, 88% of residents used the MCK regularly. A total of 76% of respondents demonstrated increased knowledge and practice of PHBS, particularly in handwashing habits and liquid waste management. The MCK now features a closed drainage system, rainwater harvesting tank, and natural lighting, making it more environmentally friendly. This program demonstrates a participatory revitalization model that not only improves infrastructure but also strengthens community empowerment in maintaining public facility sustainability. The PAR approach distinguishes this program from similar initiatives by fostering social ownership and shared responsibility. The success of this program has contributed to improved sanitation behavior, environmental health, and social cohesion within the community.

Herbal medicine is an alternative treatment made from natural materials such as plants, animals, or minerals and is often used by the community in addition to modern medicine. The use of traditional medicine in Indonesia is still believed by some people to treat various diseases. Herbal medicine has become an important part of traditional medicine in various parts of the world.

Abstract

This activity aims to introduce innovations in functional snacks based on local herbs and to enhance the knowledge and skills of the community in processing family medicinal plants, particularly temulawak (Curcuma xanthorrhiza) and ginger (Zingiber officinale), into healthy, practical, and economically valuable gummy products. The background of this activity lies in the increasing public demand for functional foods in the post-Covid-19 era, alongside the low interest in consuming herbs in traditional forms, which are often considered bitter and impractical. The methods applied included preparation (site survey, permits, and equipment), educational sessions on the importance of natural immunomodulators, and direct demonstrations of making herbal gummy candies involving the community of Nagari Sipinang, Palembayan District, Agam Regency. Evaluation was conducted through pre-tests and post-tests using questionnaires to measure participants’ improvement in understanding. The results showed a significant increase in community health literacy, from 40% to 85% of participants who understood the benefits and techniques of making herbal gummies. Enthusiasm was evident through active participation in mixing ingredients to molding, with some participants even expressing interest in reproducing the gummies at home. In addition to health benefits, this activity also opened opportunities for local herbal-based businesses, supported by abundant raw materials and simple production processes. In conclusion, the demonstration of making temulawak and ginger gummies was effective in improving community knowledge and skills, while simultaneously encouraging the development of MSMEs based on functional foods. Going forward, continuous mentoring, provision of simple equipment.
