Abstract

This community service program aimed to raise awareness and foster active participation among residents in maintaining environmental health and preventing diseases such as Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) and dengue fever through an educational-participatory approach. Three primary initiatives were implemented: education on low-smoke waste bins, Black Soldier Fly (BSF) maggot cultivation, and the planting of Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA) and snake plants (Sansevieria trifasciata). The waste bin and TOGA programs demonstrated positive outcomes, including increased knowledge, improved practical skills, and effective utilization of residential yards for self-reliant health and environmental preservation. However, the maggot cultivation program faced challenges, including limited hands-on practice, time constraints, and lack of participant interest, leading to suboptimal results. These findings suggest that program success depends not only on educational efforts but also on individual readiness and social support. Intensive mentorship and more precise participant selection are recommended to enhance program sustainability.

Abstract

Academic stress is a significant issue frequently experienced by students (santri) in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) due to high academic demands, busy schedules, and limited access to mental health support, all of which negatively impact their learning motivation, as well as physical and mental health. This community service program aimed to enhance students' understanding of academic stress, empower them as mental health cadres, develop a peer counseling system, and equip them with stress management skills. The program was conducted at Pondok Pesantren Burhanul Hidayah Sidoarjo, involving 14 Santri Husada cadres through two main stages: education on academic stress and training in peer counseling. Education was delivered through seminars, discussions, and distribution of printed and digital materials, while training included lectures, group discussions, role simulations, and practical peer counseling sessions. Evaluation was carried out using pre- and post-tests, as well as observation of counseling skills. The results showed an improvement in students' knowledge, with the average score increasing from 90 to 94 after intervention, along with the establishment of peer counseling groups that provided internal support. Furthermore, students became more skilled in applying basic stress management techniques such as relaxation and time management. These findings indicate that education and peer counseling training are effective in enhancing students' capacity to cope with academic pressure. In conclusion, empowering students through peer counseling represents a sustainable strategy for strengthening mental health support in Islamic boarding schools, and wider, routine implementation is recommended to improve students’ resilience in facing academic challenges.
