Abstract

Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) are increasing in prevalence in rural communities and are a serious threat to public health. Posyandu cadres as the frontline of health services at the community level have a strategic role in efforts to prevent and detect NCDs. However, the limited competence and capacity of cadres are often obstacles in optimizing these roles. This community service activity aims to strengthen the role of Posyandu Cadres through increasing competence in the prevention of NCDs in Gonggang Village, Poncol District, Magetan Regency. The method of community service activities is carried out with a participatory approach through training, mentoring, and field practice for Posyandu cadres. The material includes education on risk factors for NCDs, promotion of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS), as well as early detection skills and monitoring of citizens' health. The evaluation was carried out using pre-test and post-test knowledge, observation of cadre practices, and feedback from the community. The results of this activity show a significant increase in the knowledge and skills of cadres in recognizing NCD risk factors and conducting health education to the community. Cadres are also able to initiate promotive-preventive activities at the Posyandu, such as healthy lifestyle campaigns, blood pressure measurement, and simple blood sugar monitoring. The support of the community and the village government also strengthens the sustainability of the program. The conclusion of this activity is that strengthening the role of Posyandu Cadres through increasing competence has proven to be effective in supporting the prevention of NCDs at the community level. This model has the potential to be replicated in other regions to support the transformation of primary healthcare

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health problem in developing countries and is associated with impaired cognitive development, poor educational attainment, reduced productivity, and an increased risk of chronic diseases later in life. Maternal health during pregnancy is considered a key determinant of child growth and development. This study aimed to identify factors associated with stunting among children under five years of age, with a particular focus on maternal health interventions during pregnancy, including antenatal care, nutritional monitoring, and micronutrient supplementation. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 140 mothers of children under five years of age attending four community health centers in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. Participants were selected using proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, and binary logistic regression, with a significance level of p < 0.05. The results of the study show that the prevalence of stunting was 21.4%. Bivariate analysis showed that maternal health interventions were significantly associated with stunting (p = 0.040), while breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices demonstrated a marginal association (p = 0.074). Child nutritional intake (p = 0.271), immunization and growth monitoring (p = 1.000), and environmental sanitation (p = 0.526) were not significantly associated with stunting. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified maternal health intervention as the most influential factor associated with stunting (OR = 0.46; 95% CI: 0.23–0.94; p = 0.032), indicating a protective effect against stunting among children under five years of age. In conclusion, maternal health interventions during pregnancy play a significant role in reducing the risk of childhood stunting. Strengthening antenatal care services, maternal nutrition support, and health education for pregnant women should therefore be prioritized as part of integrated stunting prevention strategies at the primary healthcare level.

Abstract

Adolescents are an age group that is prone to health problems such as anemia, impaired nutritional status, premature hypertension, and the risk of metabolic disorders due to lifestyle changes. In addition, low reproductive health literacy increases the risk of risky behaviors and long-term health problems. This community service activity aims to identify adolescent health conditions through integrated screening and increase reproductive health knowledge through a community-based approach. The methods used include blood pressure, hemoglobin, hematocrit, blood glucose, Body Mass Index (BMI) measurement, and interactive counseling on reproductive health. The activity was attended by 17 teenagers from Mrican Village. The screening results showed that 17.7% of adolescents were in the prehypertensive category, 17.7% had poor nutritional status based on BMI, and 17.7% had high blood glucose levels. As many as 11.8% of adolescents had low hemoglobin levels, while 29.4% showed low hematocrit levels. Educational evaluation showed that 88.2% of participants obtained perfect scores on the reproductive health post-test.  This activity is able to provide an overview of adolescents' health conditions through health screening while increasing their knowledge about reproductive health. In addition, the findings of health risk factors in some adolescents are also an important basis for follow-up efforts in the form of health education, monitoring nutritional status, and fostering healthy living behaviors in adolescents in the community.

Abstract

Village resilience is an important foundation in community-based disaster risk reduction efforts. This policy brief is prepared based on recommendations from the results of village resilience assessment research. The research as the basis for the policy brief was conducted in 30 Disaster Resilient Villages in Magetan Regency using the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method, which emphasizes active community involvement in the assessment process. The assessment was carried out by filling out a questionnaire from the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) containing 128 questions and covering five main aspects: basic services, regulations and policies, prevention and mitigation, emergency preparedness, and post-disaster recovery. The questionnaire was filled out through interviews and focus group discussions (FGD). The results showed that only around 20% of villages achieved the Main Disaster Resilient Village category. This shows the need for an increase in overall efforts made by the disaster resilient village forum together with the village government. Two main recommendations are proposed. First, strengthening the capacity of the Disaster Resilient Village Forum as the driving force for disaster risk management activities at the village level. This forum needs to be supported through training, facilitation, and strengthening its role in program planning and implementation. Second, the allocation of village funds needs to be increased by around 5–8% to fund activities such as disaster-resistant infrastructure development, disaster mitigation, capacity training, emergency response simulations, procurement of facilities and infrastructure, emergency response funds, and post-disaster recovery. The success of both recommendations is highly dependent on collaboration between local and village governments. Local governments need to support with clear regulations, technical assistance, and adequate budgets. Meanwhile, village governments need to include disaster risk reduction in development plans. This synergy will accelerate the realization of disaster-resilient villages.

Abstract

Currently, Indonesia is facing the problem of stunting, including in Magetan. The prevalence of stunting in 2022 was 17.2%, decreasing by 4.34% to 14.9%. Although this prevalence has decreased, it has not yet reached the 2024 RPJMN target of less than 14%. In Pandeyan Village, 14% of toddlers still experience stunting. Strong efforts are needed to reduce the stunting target. This stunting problem will be more easily prevented through Posyandu (Integrated Health Posts). Posyandu (Integrated Health Post) is an integrated service post for mothers and toddlers in a specific, agreed-upon area, driven by the community to provide health services. Posyandu is a form of community-based health service (UKBM) established by the community based on community initiative and needs, particularly for toddlers. The purpose of this community service is to raise public awareness of stunting prevention through health promotion, education for mothers of toddlers, and the formation of the Complete Stunting Response Mothers Movement Group (GITa TingTas). The method used is training to provide mothers of toddlers with understanding and competencies about exclusive breastfeeding, complementary feeding (MP-ASI), monitoring child growth and development, and the importance of environmental cleanliness. The results of the knowledge test before and after the test (post-test) showed that knowledge about stunting increased from 11% to 23%, and knowledge about stunting increased from 48% to 61%. Meanwhile, in the sufficient and insufficient knowledge categories, the percentages decreased during the pre- and post-tests. The sufficient knowledge category decreased from 23% to 16%, and the insufficient knowledge category decreased from 18% to 0%. Conclusion: The Cadre Training has had an impact on increasing mothers' knowledge about stunting prevention in Pandeyan Village, Maospati District, Magetan Regency. Recommendations: Ongoing training on stunting is needed to ensure mothers remain responsive to stunting prevention. Continuous cross-sectoral and cross-program efforts are needed so that stunting can be addressed with the participation of the entire community.
