Abstract

Stunting in young children is a significant global health issue, and it remains a serious concern in Indonesia with persistently high prevalence despite various interventions. This study highlights the importance of early detection and prevention of stunting through anthropometric measurements such as height and weight. Data from the 2022 Indonesian Nutritional Status Survey (SSGI) reveals that stunting rates in Central Java Province stand at 20.8%, with an increase in prevalence in Pekalongan District from 19.5% in 2021 to 23.5% in 2022. Stunting has serious consequences, including impaired brain development, reduced intelligence, and a higher risk of long-term health issues such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. This research focuses on training health cadres to improve early detection of stunting through the Community Partnership Program (PKM), aiming to enhance cadres' knowledge and skills in stunting detection and prevention. The results show an increase in knowledge among cadres by 11.63 points for stunting detection and prevention, and 21.67 points for nutrition-related topics. Additionally, 80% of cadres successfully performed anthropometric examinations. Collaboration between midwives and health cadres is expected to reduce stunting rates by improving monitoring and more effective interventions.

Abstract

Introduction: The prevalence of asthma increases annually. In addition to pharmacological therapy, asthma management can also be achieved through non-pharmacological therapies, including physical activity such as jogging or exercise. Exercise for asthma is beneficial for strengthening respiratory muscles and improving lung function, which can be assessed by measuring peak expiratory flow (PEF) with a peak flow meter. This study aimed to determine the effect of asthma exercise on PEF in patients with asthma. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design. A convenience sampling technique was used to select 60 individuals, who were divided into two groups: an intervention group (n=30) and a control group (n=30). The intervention group performed asthma exercise, whereas the control group received no treatment. Peak expiratory flow was measured using a peak flow meter before and after the intervention. Results: A significant difference in mean PEF values was observed between the intervention and control groups. The mean increase in PEF was higher in the intervention group than in the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Asthma exercises significantly increased PEF in patients with asthma. Therefore, asthma exercises can be recommended as a non-pharmacological therapy to aid asthma management.

Abstract

Stunting has long-term impacts on a child's growth, development, and overall quality of life. Prevention efforts starting from the preconception phase, particularly among prospective brides and grooms (catin), represent a strategic approach to breaking the cycle of stunting. This community service program aimed to strengthen the capacity of health cadres in educating and conducting early detection of stunting risks among catin. The program was conducted over eight months (May–December 2025) using an empowerment approach through focus group discussions, socialization, training, and mentoring activities. A total of 15 participants were involved, consisting of 12 cadres from Kranji Village and 3 health personnel from the local health center. Results showed an increase in the average knowledge score of cadres across three main topics: Ideal Reproductive Health for Catin by 6.2 points, Stunting Concepts (Detection and Prevention) by 5.14 points, and Nutrition for Catin by 2.67 points. These findings indicate that empowerment-based interventions are effective in forming cadres capable of playing an active role in stunting prevention starting from the preconception phase.

Abstract

Background: Early detection of toddler development is essential to prevent long-term developmental problems. Many mothers still have limited knowledge and practical skills in monitoring their children’s developmental milestones. This community service aimed to improve mothers’ knowledge and skills in toddler development detection and stimulation. Methods: This activity was conducted in Pangkah Village, Karangdadap Health Center area, involving 23 mothers of toddlers for 6 months. Activities included education, practical training on development detection using Pre-Screening Developmental Questionnaire (KPSP), and stimulation practices. Evaluation was conducted using pre-post knowledge assessment and observation of mothers' skills. Results: There was a significant difference observed before and after the community service activities with a p-value of 0.001 There was an increase in mothers’ knowledge after the community service activities, as indicated by the increase in mean scores of toddler nutrition (from 15.57 to 23.35), development detection (from 12.57 to 19.17), and development stimulation (from 9.09 to 17.70). Conclusion: The community service activities showed an improvement in mothers’ knowledge and skills in toddler development detection, as well as their ability to perform basic developmental screening independently. Recommendations for the community include actively participating in routine toddler growth and development monitoring, providing appropriate stimulation at home according to the child’s developmental stage, and seeking regular consultation with health workers to support optimal child development.

Abstract

Stunting adalah masalah gizi jangka panjang yang berdampak pada perkembangan fisik dan mental anak di Indonesia. Prevalensi stunting pada anak di bawah dua tahun masih tinggi, mencapai 32,8% pada tahun 2023, meskipun berbagai intervensi telah dilakukan. Di Kabupaten Pekalongan, prevalensi stunting meningkat dari 19,5% pada 2021 menjadi 23,5% pada 2022. Pencegahan stunting memerlukan keterlibatan orang tua, keluarga, tenaga kesehatan, serta intervensi edukasi yang dimulai sejak masa prakonsepsi. Teknologi, seperti aplikasi smartphone, menawarkan solusi potensial untuk deteksi dini dan pemantauan status gizi. Aplikasi STARTING (Smart Detection for Stunting) diperkenalkan untuk membantu kader posyandu dalam deteksi stunting pada calon pengantin, ibu hamil, dan balita. Pengabdian yang dilakukan di Desa Tosaran dan Desa Jomblangan selama delapan bulan menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan kader dengan nilai rata-rata 2,97 untuk deteksi calon pengantin, 4,17 untuk ibu hamil, dan 0,63 untuk balita. Persepsi kader terhadap aplikasi STARTING sangat positif. Aplikasi ini diharapkan dapat meningkatkan peran kader dalam mencegah stunting dengan memperkuat kapasitas mereka melalui edukasi yang lebih efektif

Abstract

Terapi komplementer adalah metode pengobatan yang tidak menggunakan obat-obatan konvensional dan dapat bermanfaat dalam mengatasi masalah kesehatan ibu hamil, seperti emesis gravidarum. Tinjauan literatur menunjukkan bahwa terapi komplementer dapat meningkatkan kesehatan fisik, psikologis, sosial, dan spiritual ibu hamil. Namun, perlu dipertimbangkan pula keamanan dan risiko penggunaan terapi komplementer pada ibu hamil. Kelas ibu hamil merupakan sarana yang penting untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan ibu hamil tentang kehamilan, persalinan, dan perawatan bayi. Tujuan PKM ini adalah untuk mengoptimalkan pemanfaatan terapi komplementer dalam kehamilan di kelas ibu hamil di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Buaran Kabupaten Pekalongan. PKM dilakukan melalui penyuluhan kesehatan tentang terapi komplementer, demonstrasi praktik senam dan peregangan khusus untuk ibu hamil. Kegiatan dilaksanakan selama 3 bulan dengan melibatkan 51 ibu hamil di Posyandu. Hasil pengabdian menunjukkan adanya peningkatan yang signifikan dalam pengetahuan ibu hamil, dari nilai rata-rata 60,43 sebelum penyuluhan menjadi 81,54 setelah penyuluhan. Hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa metode penyuluhan yang digunakan efektif dalam meningkatkan pemahaman ibu hamil mengenai materi yang disampaikan. PKM ini berhasil meningkatkan pengetahuan ibu hamil tentang terapi komplementer dalam kehamilan, yang dapat membantu mereka mengatasi ketidaknyamanan selama masa kehamilan dengan lebih baik.
