Abstract

Background: Disaster preparedness training serves as a preventive measure and an investment in community safety and resilience, particularly in Indonesia, which is highly prone to natural disasters. Objective: To equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to manage emergencies, enabling them to save lives and minimize potential damage. Method: This study employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, actively involving students in disaster victim evacuation simulations. The activity was conducted at SD YBPK Semampir, Kediri City, on May 21, 2024, involving all students from grades I to VI, totaling 70 participants. To evaluate the effectiveness of the training, pre-tests and post-tests were administered to assess students' understanding before and after the intervention. As the data did not follow a normal distribution, a non-parametric statistical analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon test. Results: The mean scores for the pre-test and post-test were 35.14 and 88.71, respectively. These results were analyzed for normality and subsequently evaluated using the Wilcoxon test, which indicated a significant improvement in students' understanding following the training. Conclusion: The training effectively enhanced disaster awareness among students at SD YBPK Semampir. Recommended actions include conducting regular training sessions, involving parents in disaster preparedness programs, and developing a more comprehensive training module. These initiatives are expected to sustainably improve disaster awareness and preparedness at both the school and community levels.

Abstract

Background: The low level of public understanding about tuberculosis (21.9%) and the limited implementation of home ventilation as a preventive measure (31.3%) prompted the launch of the “SEHATI LESTARI” program, which focuses on strengthening health cadres to create a tuberculosis-free community. Objective: This activity aimed to increase community knowledge about TB prevention, promote the adoption of healthy behaviors, and empower health cadres as agents of change at the community level. Method: The program, conducted from 16 September to 15 October 2024 with 32 participants in Tunge Village, combined interactive lectures, simulations, and field audits to ensure a comprehensive understanding. Results: Post-activity evaluations demonstrated significant improvements: participants’ knowledge of TB increased from 21.9% to 71.9%, the adoption of home ventilation practices rose from 31.3% to 68.8%, and 32 trained health cadres were successfully established. Conclusion: This community-based empowerment program through health cadres proved effective in improving knowledge and behavior related to TB prevention. To ensure program sustainability, it is recommended to establish a monthly cadre forum facilitated by the community health center (Puskesmas), integrate the TB education module into routine Posyandu activities, and develop adaptable intervention designs for other agricultural areas with similar characteristics.
