Abstract

Hypercholesterolemia is a growing health problem, including among adolescents in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) where diets are high in fat and low in fiber, and physical activity is limited. This condition carries a risk of developing cardiovascular disease, necessitating preventive interventions tailored to the characteristics of the Islamic boarding school community. This Community Service (PkM) activity aims to increase students' knowledge and awareness of high cholesterol prevention through healthy lifestyle education and the use of bay leaves (Syzygium polyanthum) as an alternative herbal cholesterol-lowering agent. The program's innovation lies in integrating evidence-based health education with local wisdom, making it easily implemented in Islamic boarding schools. The activity was conducted at the Zainul Hasan Genggong Islamic Boarding School in Probolinggo in May 2025, involving 30 students and 14 religious teachers. The methods used included an initial survey, FGDs, interactive counseling with pre- and post-test evaluations, and free health checks, including anthropometry, blood pressure, and blood sugar measurements, medical consultations, and medication administration. The primary outcome was increased participant knowledge, measured by comparing pre-test and post-test scores and baseline health data from the examination. The results of the activity showed an average increase in participant knowledge of 23.4 points between the pre-test and post-test. Students also gained practical skills in using bay leaves as a daily ingredient beneficial for health.

Abstract

The nutritional intake of students in Islamic boarding schools during Ramadan is often dominated by carbohydrates, with limited attention to balanced macro- and micronutrient consumption. This imbalance may affect health and learning concentration. This community engagement program aimed to enhance students’ understanding of balanced nutrition during fasting based on physiological principles. The activity was conducted at Pondok Pesantren Assalafi Al Fithrah Surabaya through three phases: initial survey, interactive educational sessions, and follow-up evaluation. Thirty-one students participated in both pretest and posttest assessments. The results showed an increase in the average knowledge score from 54.19 to 66.77 (p = 0.005), indicating a statistically significant improvement. The participatory educational approach proved effective in enhancing students’ nutritional literacy. The program suggests that physiology-based nutrition education can serve as a strategic approach to improving health awareness in Islamic boarding schools. Integrating nutrition education into institutional food management policies is recommended to promote sustainable healthy eating habits.

Abstract

Pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman santri mengenai perilaku hidup sehat melalui puasa di Pondok Pesantren Darussalam Al-Faisholiyah, Madura. Penyuluhan dilakukan dengan pendekatan Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR), melibatkan 50 santriwati sebagai peserta. Metode yang digunakan meliputi ceramah interaktif dan pengisian kuesioner pretest dan posttest untuk mengukur pengetahuan sebelum dan sesudah penyuluhan. Temuan menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan pada pengetahuan santri terkait manfaat puasa, dari 18,42% santri dengan penilaian baik sebelum penyuluhan menjadi 52,26% setelahnya. Penurunan juga terlihat pada kategori penilaian kurang, dari 52,63% menjadi 31,57%. Hasil ini menegaskan bahwa penyuluhan efektif dalam memperbaiki pemahaman santri tentang kesehatan dan perilaku hidup sehat. Puasa Ramadhan, yang merupakan salah satu rukun Islam, tidak hanya memiliki dimensi spiritual tetapi juga berbagai manfaat kesehatan. Selain meningkatkan kesadaran tentang perilaku sehat, puasa dapat membantu dalam pengaturan metabolisme tubuh, memperbaiki fungsi sistem imun, dan menjaga kesehatan mental. Penelitian ini juga mendiskusikan hubungan antara puasa dan perubahan hormon, khususnya kortisol, yang berpengaruh pada keseimbangan fisik dan mental santri. Melalui pendekatan edukasi ini, diharapkan santri dapat menerapkan perilaku hidup sehat yang akan berkontribusi pada kualitas kehidupan mereka. Kegiatan ini juga bertujuan untuk menanamkan disiplin dan kesadaran akan pentingnya kesehatan sejak usia remaja. Pengabdian masyarakat ini tidak hanya memberikan pengetahuan teoritis tetapi juga memfasilitasi perubahan perilaku yang positif di kalangan santri, mendukung pembentukan karakter dan kesehatan yang optimal di lingkungan pendidikan pesantren. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan perluasan program edukasi kesehatan serupa di pesantren lain untuk mendukung kesejahteraan remaja secara lebih luas.
