Abstract

Gout is an inflammatory joint disease commonly experienced by older adults, causing chronic pain and limitations in mobility. Non-pharmacological approaches such as acupressure can serve as a safe and easy complementary therapy that can be performed independently. Health education for older adults requires a specific approach that considers cognitive, sensory, and psychosocial aspects. The gerontological education model (Geragogy) is a learning approach designed according to the characteristics of older adults, using slow-paced delivery, repetition, clear visual aids, and direct practice. This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of older adults in performing acupressure to reduce gout complaints. The program was conducted in Neglasari District, Tangerang City, through interactive lectures, demonstrations, repeated practice, and individual assistance. Evaluation was carried out using pre- and post-tests as well as skills observation. The results showed an increase in knowledge from low to moderate and high categories, and most participants were able to perform acupressure independently. These findings indicate that the geragogy-based approach is an effective initial step for providing sustainable health education for older adults.

Abstract

Household organic waste remains a significant environmental challenge that requires active community involvement in waste management at the source. Organic waste, such as fruit peels, vegetable residues, and other household organic materials, has the potential to be processed into value-added products, one of which is eco-enzyme. Eco-enzyme is a liquid product produced through the fermentation of organic materials, a sugar source, and water, and has been developed as an alternative approach to organic waste utilization. This Community Service Program aimed to improve community knowledge and skills in organic waste management through the GERAK ECO (Community Education and Action Movement through Eco-Enzyme) program. The activity was conducted in Kayu Agung Village, Tangerang Regency, in July 2026, involving 23 participants. The program employed an educational and participatory approach consisting of problem identification, a pre-test, education on waste management and the 3R principles (reduce, reuse, and recycle), demonstrations, hands-on eco-enzyme production, fermentation process mentoring, and evaluation through a post-test and skills observation. The results showed that 88% of participants demonstrated an improvement in knowledge, while 65% were able to demonstrate skills in waste segregation and eco-enzyme production. The combination of educational activities and hands-on practice encouraged active community participation and enhanced participants' understanding of organic waste utilization. The GERAK ECO program has the potential to serve as a community empowerment strategy to promote source-based waste management and more sustainable environmental practices.
