Abstract

Nutritional status is a measure of success in balancing the needs and fulfillment of children's nutrition, as indicated by the weight and height of children based on their age (Menteri Kesehatan Republik Indonesia, n.d.). Malnutrition is a serious condition in which a person's food intake does not match the nutrients they need. The 2018 Global Nutrition Report shows that Indonesia is among 17 countries that have three nutrition problems at once, called multiple nutrition problems. These include stunting, wasting, and overweight (obesity) (Global Nutrition Report, 2018). The most common nutritional problem in Indonesia is undernutrition. Children under five years old (0–5 years) are the age group that most often suffers from malnutrition or is one of the groups of people who are vulnerable to nutrition. The most decisive intervention in reducing the prevalence of stunting is in the first 1000 days of life of the child, or before the age of 2 years, because the growth of children aged 2-3 years has slowed down so that the process of catching up at this age has a smaller chance than the age of 6–24 months (Kusuma, 2013; TNP2K, 2017). The form of efforts made to prevent and overcome malnutrition in children is by providing counseling related to child growth and development and balanced nutrition in children to increase mothers' knowledge related to growth and development and balanced nutrition. This activity began by approaching partners to determine the date and process of activities planned for June 16, 2023, at the Teratai Putih Posyandu, Paseban Village, Senen District.

Abstract

Sex education is very important to give to teenagers, even from childhood. Children and adolescents are vulnerable to misinformation about sex. People's views in general are still taboo when talking about sex and sexuality issues. If sex education is not taught as early as possible to children, it is likely that there will be violations of moral values such as free sex, rape, etc. Some efforts that can be made to overcome reproductive health problems in adolescents include sexual education. Sexual education is an effort to increase knowledge and change individual attitudes and behaviors to better understand their reproductive health needs. The purpose of this community service is to increase students' knowledge related to sex education. At the beginning of this activity, it began with an approach with partners, namely to see how many students and female students participated, for effectiveness in counseling. The participants who participated in this counseling were fourth grade students at Ricci Elementary School, Jalan Kemenangan III N0 47 Glodok, Taman Sari, West Jakarta, consisting of 48 male students and 33 female students. The total number of participants who participated in this counseling was 81. This counseling activity was declared successful because there was an increase in knowledge in students and schoolgirls after being given counseling.

Abstract

A strategy to enhance the welfare of families is family planning. Couples are given the freedom to decide what is best for their family when it comes to the number of children and the spacing between births. An autonomous, simple, affordable, and Catholic-compliant method of contraception is natural family planning with the Billings ovulation method. For the purpose to complete this community service project, representatives from Catholic churches are trained about the Billings ovulation method. Participants in this activity acquire information and guidance on how to observe cervical mucus. In order to address any circumstances that may arise during observations, participants are also instructed. It is intended that after completing this course, the participants will be qualified to become counsellors in their own settings.

Abstract

Background: adolescents require accurate reproductive health information to support healthy physical and psychosocial development. However, misconceptions and limited access to age-appropriate education remain common. Situation analysis: students at SMP “X”, South Tangerang, demonstrated varying levels of knowledge regarding puberty, menstruation, nocturnal emissions, personal hygiene, and reproductive health. Problem: inadequate reproductive health literacy may increase adolescents' vulnerability to unhealthy behaviors and misconceptions during puberty. Solution: A school-based community engagement program was conducted using interactive educational strategies, including audiovisual presentations, educational videos, group discussions, and Kahoot based quizzes. The sessions were delivered separately for male and female students to facilitate open discussion of gender-specific topics. Results: A total of 116 students participated in the program. Knowledge improved in both groups, with a mean increase of 37.6% among male students and 38.0% among female students. Female participants also demonstrated a high prevalence of menarche and dysmenorrhea, highlighting the importance of menstrual health education. Conclusion: Interactive, school based reproductive health education effectively improved adolescents' knowledge and engagement. Integrating age-appropriate reproductive health education into routine school health programs may strengthen adolescents' health literacy and promote healthier behaviors.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia remains one of the countries with the highest prevalence of childhood stunting. According to the Indonesian Ministry of Health, the national stunting prevalence declined from 24.4% in 2021 to approximately 21.5% in 2024, reflecting progress in prevention efforts. Despite this improvement, the prevalence remains above the threshold recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), which considers a stunting prevalence below 20% as the target for effective public health control. These findings highlight the need for sustained and comprehensive interventions to accelerate stunting reduction in Indonesia. Situation analysis: Stunting remains a major public health concern in Indonesia, with a national prevalence of 21.5%, still above the WHO target of <20%. In Central Jakarta, Johar Baru is one of the priority areas for stunting reduction, with a reported 0.36% increase in identified stunting cases following improved child growth monitoring. In addition, 46 children under five at risk of stunting have been identified in Galur Village, within the service area of Johar Baru Community Health Center (Puskesmas Johar Baru). These conditions highlight the need for community-based interventions that strengthen family preparedness, improve nutrition knowledge, and promote healthy practices from the preconception period through the first 1,000 days of life to prevent stunting. Problem: Stunting remains a significant public health concern in Indonesia and requires urgent attention, as its high prevalence is strongly associated with inadequate knowledge and unhealthy behavioral practices among families. Solution: Health education is an effective strategy to improve individuals' knowledge and skills with the aim of promoting positive behavioral change and empowering them to become more independent in achieving and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Results: The community education program on preparing stunting-free families effectively improved participants' knowledge. Among the 19 respondents who completed both the pre-test and post-test, the mean knowledge score increased from 5.4 before the intervention to 9.6 after the intervention, with the minimum score increasing from 0 to 8 while the maximum score remained at 10. These findings indicate that health education is an effective strategy for enhancing community knowledge and supporting family preparedness for stunting prevention. Conclusion: The community education program on preparing stunting-free families improved the knowledge and awareness of pregnant women and women of reproductive age regarding the importance of family preparedness for stunting prevention.
