Abstract

Background: The HERO (Helping and Empowering Women in Reproductive Choices) program is a community service initiative aimed at enhancing the knowledge of women of reproductive age in Sumbersekar Village, Dau District, Malang Regency. A situational analysis of Midwife Sunarni’s practice revealed significant challenges: a shortage of adequately trained village health cadres to support healthcare professionals in delivering reproductive health education and low community awareness stemming from educational and economic factors. Method: Conducted in September 2024 and through two educational sessions involving village health workers and women of reproductive age, the program provided information on family planning, reproductive health, and preconception nutrition. Participants completed pretests and posttests to assess knowledge improvement before and after the sessions. Result: Results showed a significant increase in the average posttest score (89.80) compared to the pretest score (57.80). The distribution of knowledge levels also indicated a rise in the "high" category from 0% in the pretest to 76% in the posttest. This program successfully demonstrated the effectiveness of education in improving preconception health knowledge among women of reproductive age. Follow-up and monitoring by village health workers are necessary to sustain the knowledge and healthy behaviors promoted by the program. Conclusion: It is important to build on the success of the HERO initiative by implementing ongoing education programs and addressing remaining knowledge gaps.

Abstract

Background: Data from 2023 shows that around 39.9 million people in the world are living with HIV. East Java Province is in second place with 77,447 cases of people living with HIV/AIDS in 2022. People with HIV (PLHIV) need social support for treatment, care, and building resilience. Without this support, they are at risk of experiencing declining health, difficulty accessing care, loss of enthusiasm, and feelings of helplessness. Methods: This activity was carried out using the Information, Motivation, Behavioral Skills (IMB) Model approach through counseling by two expert speakers. Supporting media in the form of pocket books were also distributed to participants. The activity was carried out on August 3, 2024, targeting peer supporters from the Mahameru Foundation, Malang City branch and representatives of field outreach from Malang City and Regency. The evaluation was carried out by comparing the results of the pre-test and post-test of the participants. Results: There was an increase in the average pre-test and post-test scores of 13 points. Paired T-Test showed a significant difference between the average pre-test and post-test scores after being given education (p=0.006). The T-test results showed that T count was greater than T table, indicating a significant difference. Conclusions: This counseling program successfully increased participants' knowledge about handling HIV/AIDS and effective communication with PLHIV. To strengthen the role of peer supporters, additional training such as Psychological First Aid is needed to improve skills in providing appropriate emotional support.
