Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and heart disease continue to increase in Indonesia, threatening public health and adding to the country's economic burden. Efforts to control NCDs require an integrated approach, one of which is through community service programs that focus on communication, education, and information (KIE). This community service program aims to increase public awareness and knowledge about NCDs, especially diabetes mellitus, by involving various parties, including academics, health workers, and local communities. The methods used in this program include health counseling, campaigns through social media, and interactive training in various villages and sub-districts. The results of this program show a significant improvement in public understanding of risk factors, early signs, and NCD prevention measures. The active participation of the community in this activity also strengthens collective awareness about the importance of a healthy lifestyle and regular health checkups. This program has succeeded in having a positive impact on efforts to prevent and control NCDs in the community. The recommendations of this program include expanding the reach of KIE activities, wider use of information technology, and continuous collaboration between various sectors to create a healthier society.

Abstract

In efforts to improve public health, it is necessary to implement clean and healthy living behaviours in the community to achieve a better standard of living. One strategy that can be used to earn a degree in public health is to provide education on public awareness of the importance of implementing a clean and healthy lifestyle. Community service activities aim to evaluate the impact of counselling on the level of knowledge and attitudes of the community related to clean and healthy living. The method involves organising counselling sessions in several communities through active community participation. We used pre-counseling and post-extension surveys to measure changes in knowledge levels and attitudes. Results showed a significant increase in people's knowledge levels after counselling. Interactive counselling sessions and clear information delivery successfully provided a better understanding of clean and healthy living principles. It concluded with the active participation of the community, the involvement of community leaders, and the use of relevant supporting materials. These findings have positive implications for developing health education programmes at the community level. Increased knowledge and attitudes are expected to change people's behaviour towards a healthier lifestyle.
