Abstract

During its progression, a stunted kid will have challenges with cognitive development and educational failure, which slows down the child's capacity to absorb knowledge and, eventually, leads to low productivity as an adult. The nutritional health of pre-school children should be carefully monitored since this era is crucial as it sets the stage for a child's future growth. Educating parents of preschool-aged children on the need of a healthy diet in warding off stunting is the overarching goal of this community service (Pengabmas) project. Lectures, Q&A sessions, and group discussions were the means of instruction for this task. Fifty participants from the working area of the Dungingis Health Center in Tolitoli Regency who are parents of preschool-aged children will be the focus of this program. Knowledge increased from 38% to 85% according to the findings of the post-test that was administered. Parents' understanding of the need of a healthy diet for pre-schoolers has grown as a result of this educational activity. The goal of the nutrition program at the Dungingis Community Health Center is to help parents better understand how to meet their pre-school children's nutritional needs by educating them about balanced nutrition at least once every three months.

Abstract

Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) is a nutritional deficiency issue that frequently occurs among pregnant women in Indonesia. The purpose of this Community Service activity was to improve the knowledge and skills of health cadres in monitoring the nutritional status of pregnant women with CED through the measurement of body weight (BW) and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), thereby enabling effective monitoring of nutritional intake during pregnancy.This activity was conducted using lecture methods with the aid of media such as PowerPoint presentations and LCD projectors, along with Q&A sessions, discussions, and simulations. It was carried out from March 13 to June 25, 2024. The target participants were maternal health cadres in the working area of the Managaisaki City Public Health Center (Puskesmas), Tolitoli, totaling eight individuals.Post-test results indicated an increase in knowledge from 43% to 86%, and an improvement in skills from 60% to 100%. Furthermore, after three months of monitoring, the number of pregnant women with CED decreased from 16 to 14.It can be concluded that this educational activity successfully improved pregnant women’s nutritional awareness for CED prevention and enhanced the cadres' skills in measuring MUAC and BW. It is recommended that the Managaisaki City Health Center schedule annual training for health cadres who have not yet received any, as an effort to provide updated information or continued coaching for trained cadres, and to reinforce previously delivered training materials.

Abstract

Adolescent reproductive health issues stem from a lack of information, understanding, and awareness, leading to risky sexual behaviors. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of reproductive health education using videos and booklets on the behavior of Class IX students at SMP Negeri 1 Tolitoli. A quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-test and control group was employed. The sample consisted of 138 students divided into two groups: video (n=69) and booklet (n=69). Behavior was measured before and 30 days after the intervention using a validated questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. In the video group, mean knowledge increased from 00.00 to 24.50, mean attitude from 00.00 to 13.50, and mean action from 00.00 to 22.50. In the booklet group, mean knowledge increased from 15.00 to 16.11, mean attitude from 00.00 to 12.00, and mean action from 11.50 to 13.06. No significant difference in student behavior was found between the video and booklet groups (p<0.05). Education using videos and booklets was equally effective in changing student behavior. These findings highlight the importance of providing comprehensive reproductive health education to adolescents using engaging media to promote healthy behaviors and prevent risky sexual practices.

Abstract

Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in pregnant women remains a serious public health challenge due to its impact on both maternal and fetal health, ranging from delivery complications and anemia to the risk of low birth weight (LBW) and stunting. Data from the Tolitoli District Health Office in 2023 reported 406 cases of CED among pregnant women, with the highest prevalence (19.2%) found in Baolan Subdistrict. This condition highlights the need to strengthen the role of community health cadres in early detection and nutritional support for pregnant women. This Community Service Program aimed to improve cadres’ knowledge and skills in monitoring maternal nutritional status through simple anthropometric measurements (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference, body weight, and height). The activity was conducted in Buntuna Village, within the working area of Baolan Health Center, Tolitoli District, on July 30, 2025, involving 18 health cadres. The methods included education using presentations and booklets, a question-and-answer session, and hands-on practice of anthropometric measurements. Knowledge was assessed using pre- and post-tests with questionnaires, while skills were observed using a checklist-based assessment. The post-test results indicated a significant improvement in knowledge from 40% to 86%, while skills increased from 11% to 100%. Prior to the intervention, only two cadres were skilled, but after training, all participants were able to perform measurements accurately. These findings demonstrate that practice-based training is effective in strengthening cadre capacity and has the potential to enhance the effectiveness of CED prevention programs at the community level.

Abstract

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death globally, with 17.9 million deaths in 2019, of which 85% were caused by stroke and coronary heart disease (CHD). In Indonesia, CHD accounts for 26.4% of all deaths; therefore, controlling risk factors is a priority. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between modifiable risk factors (smoking, obesity, hypertension, and lifestyle) and the incidence of CHD. Methods: This analytical study used a cross-sectional design with accidental sampling and was conducted at the Heart Polyclinic of the Undata Hospital, Central Sulawesi, in August 2025. A total of 112 respondents aged ?35 years who sought treatment were included in this study. Data were collected through direct measurements (blood pressure, height, and weight) and questionnaires assessing smoking habits, lifestyle, and medical histories. Ethical approval was obtained from the Health Research Ethics Committee of Poltekkes Kemenkes Palu. Data analysis included univariate, chi-squared (95% CI), and logistic regression tests. Results: Among 112 respondents, 56 (50%) were diagnosed with CHD. There was a significant association between CHD and smoking (p < 0.001), obesity (p = 0.004), hypertension (p = 0.001), and lifestyle habits (p = 0.031). Logistic regression analysis identified smoking as the strongest predictor of CHD (odds ratio [OR] = 16.626; p = 0.009). Conclusion: Smoking, obesity, hypertension, and lifestyle were significant risk factors for CHD, with smoking emerging as the main determinant. Preventive strategies should prioritize smoking cessation, weight control, hypertension management, and promotion of healthy lifestyles.
