Abstract

Anemia remains a major public health problem among adolescent girls, affecting the quality of future generations. This community service program aimed to improve adolescent girls’ knowledge of anemia, reproductive health, and early marriage prevention as part of preparing healthy brides. The methods included health education, interactive discussions, hemoglobin (Hb) examination, and iron supplementation (iron tablets). The participants consisted of 30 adolescent girls, including prospective brides and engaged adolescents in Pamorah Village, Tragah District, Bangkalan. The pre-test results showed that 36.7% of participants had moderate knowledge, while 63.3% had poor knowledge. Following the educational intervention, knowledge improved significantly, with 70% categorized as good and 30% as moderate. Hemoglobin examination results indicated that 36.7% of participants had normal Hb levels, while 63.3% were below normal. All participants actively participated in the iron supplementation program. This activity demonstrates that structured assistance effectively improves adolescent girls’ knowledge and raises awareness of the importance of anemia prevention in preparing for healthy marriage.

Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), particularly Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and hypertension, are increasing health problems and are influenced by unhealthy lifestyles, unbalanced diets, and exposure to cigarette smoke. The utilization of local foods such as tempeh and catfish as healthy foods is still not optimal. This community service activity aims to empower the community to create a healthy society, a healthy environment, and Smoke-Free Areas (KTR) through training and mentoring in making processed foods from tempeh and catfish for people with DM and hypertension. The methods used include health education, training, demonstrations, healthy food processing practices, mentoring, and evaluation using pre- and post-tests on 40 participants. The materials provided include prevention and control of DM, hypertension, implementation of Smoke-Free Areas, and techniques for processing tempeh and catfish into healthy menus that are low in sugar, low in salt, and low in fat. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' knowledge of all materials. Knowledge about diabetes increased from 25.0% to 85.0%, hypertension from 30.0% to 85.0%, smoke-free areas from 20.0% to 82.5%, and healthy food processing from tempeh and catfish from 15.0% to 87.5% in the good and very good categories. Participants were able to practice making healthy menus independently and demonstrated a commitment to implementing a healthy lifestyle and supporting smoke-free areas in the village environment. This activity proves that the community empowerment approach through education, training, and mentoring is effective in improving community knowledge, skills, and behavior to support the prevention of non-communicable diseases in a sustainable manner.

Abstract

Early marriage is a contributing factor to the increased risk of stunting through teenage pregnancy, low reproductive readiness, and limited knowledge in child care and nutrition. These issues require a sustainable community empowerment approach involving various stakeholders at the village level. This community service activity aims to empower partner villages to prevent early marriage as a sustainable effort to prevent stunting through the Healthy and Decent Homes Program (RUSELA). Implementation methods include outreach and education on adolescent reproductive health, maturing marriage age, stunting prevention, training on the application of healthy and decent home indicators, and mentoring for adolescents, families, and health cadres. Evaluation was conducted using pretests and posttests on 38 respondents, accompanied by observation and monitoring of community participation. The evaluation results showed an increase in the average knowledge score of participants from 61.8 in the pretest to 86.5 in the posttest, an increase of 40.0%. A total of 34 respondents (89.5%) experienced an increase in knowledge scores after participating in the activity. In addition, there was an increase in understanding of the risks of early marriage, the importance of preventing stunting from adolescence, and community awareness of creating a healthy and decent home environment to support child growth and development. This program also resulted in a joint commitment between the village government, cadres, and the community to integrate the RUSELA Program into village development activities as a sustainable community empowerment model to support the acceleration of stunting reduction.

Abstract

Family support is a key factor in the success of postpartum visits; this study aimed to determine the relationship between family support and postpartum visits among postpartum mothers in the working area of the Sukomoro Community Health Center (UPTD Puskesmas Sukomoro), Magetan Regency. The study employed a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. The study population consisted of postpartum mothers in the working area of the Sukomoro Community Health Center. Data were collected using a closed-ended questionnaire, while sampling was conducted using total sampling. The independent variables included emotional, instrumental, esteem, and informational support, while the dependent variable was postpartum care visits. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed that emotional support was significantly associated with postpartum care visits (p = 0.036), as were instrumental support (p = 0.007) and esteem support (p = 0.010). Meanwhile, informational support was not significantly associated with postpartum care visits (p = 0.070). Therefore, emotional, instrumental, and esteem support were significantly associated with postpartum care visits, whereas informational support showed no significant association. Family support through attention, assistance, and positive reinforcement is important in helping mothers during the postpartum period and encouraging them to obtain healthcare services according to established standards
