Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of mortality worldwide and represent a major challenge to public health development, including in Indonesia. The high prevalence of NCDs such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular diseases is closely associated with low levels of public awareness and unhealthy lifestyle behaviors. Therefore, promotional efforts through health education are essential strategies to enhance community knowledge and awareness regarding NCD prevention. This community service activity aims to improve public knowledge of non-communicable diseases and their prevention through health education interventions. The implementation method employed an educational approach through health counseling , accompanied by pre-test and post-test assessments to measure participants' knowledge before and after the intervention. The materials delivered included the definition of NCDs, risk factors, health impacts, and preventive measures through clean and healthy lifestyle behaviors . The educational sessions were conducted interactively using lectures, discussions, and question-and-answer sessions. The results showed that prior to the intervention, the majority of participants (93.3%) already had a good level of knowledge. After the health education intervention, this increased to 100% of participants achieving a good knowledge category. Additionally, participants demonstrate high enthusiasm during the activity, as reflected in their active participation in discussions and their ability to respond to questions related to the materials presented. In conclusion, health education counseling proved to be effective in improving community knowledge regarding non-communicable diseases. This improvement in knowledge is expected to serve as a foundation for promoting sustainable healthy behavior changes. However, follow-up efforts such as continuous mentoring and evaluation are necessary to ensure the practical implementation of knowledge in daily life in order to reduce the incidence of NCDs in the community.

Abstract

Health data management at the village level in Tomohon City faces significant challenges, including limited human resource capacity, non-integrated systems, and manual data collection that hinders the planning of priority health programs. This Community Service Program (PKM) aims to address these issues by establishing an information system and building the capacity of village officials, with the primary outcome being the creation of a sustainable Village Health Information System (SIK ELHAN). Methods: The study employed a participatory Training Management Cycle approach, consisting of four stages: (1) Training Needs Assessment to identify partner requirements; (2) Training Design to develop training programs and system architecture; (3) Training Delivery involving hands-on training, tutorials, and direct mentoring; and (4) Training Evaluation using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure effectiveness and impact. This methodology actively engaged partners throughout all stages. Results: The program successfully developed and implemented SIK ELHAN, a web-based system enabling structured and real-time recording and reporting of community health data. Thirty village officials and healthcare workers were trained, with 85% of participants demonstrating independent system operation capability. Evaluation results showed a 70% increase in participant understanding based on pre-test and post-test comparisons. The Village Government demonstrated strong commitment to sustainability by appointing dedicated administrators for SIK ELHAN management, supported by a 90% partner satisfaction rate. The participatory Training Management Cycle approach proved effective not only in providing the technical solution of SIK ELHAN but also in empowering partners through capacity building. This program successfully established a robust foundation for digital transformation of health data management at the village level, which is expected to support more effective data-driven health program planning and monitoring in Tomohon City.
