Abstract

A strategy to enhance the welfare of families is family planning. Couples are given the freedom to decide what is best for their family when it comes to the number of children and the spacing between births. An autonomous, simple, affordable, and Catholic-compliant method of contraception is natural family planning with the Billings ovulation method. For the purpose to complete this community service project, representatives from Catholic churches are trained about the Billings ovulation method. Participants in this activity acquire information and guidance on how to observe cervical mucus. In order to address any circumstances that may arise during observations, participants are also instructed. It is intended that after completing this course, the participants will be qualified to become counsellors in their own settings.

Abstract

Anemia during pregnancy remains a significant public health problem that increases the risk of maternal and fetal complications. Although the prevalence in Jakarta is lower than the national average, anemia among pregnant women remains common in the Menteng Community Health Center, Central Jakarta. This condition is associated with limited knowledge of balanced nutrition, poor adherence to iron supplementation, and inadequate participation in routine antenatal care. This community service activity aimed to improve pregnant women's knowledge and awareness regarding anemia prevention through health education. The program included a baseline survey to assess participants' knowledge and behavior, interactive health education on balanced nutrition, iron supplementation, and regular antenatal care, followed by a post-education evaluation using a questionnaire. The expected outcomes were improved knowledge and positive behavioral changes in maintaining a healthy diet, regularly consuming iron tablets, and attending routine antenatal care. In conclusion, health education is an effective promotive and preventive strategy to enhance anemia prevention among pregnant women.

Abstract

A healthy pregnancy and preparation for breastfeeding are crucial for improving the health of mothers and infants and supporting the success of exclusive breastfeeding. Education beginning during pregnancy is necessary to enhance the knowledge and readiness of mothers and their families. This community service activity aims to improve the knowledge of pregnant women and their families regarding healthy pregnancy and lactation preparation. The activity was conducted in person at the RW 006 Community Hall in Galur Village on June 23, 2026, through educational sessions, discussions, Q&A sessions, and evaluations using pre-tests and post-tests. The material covered healthy pregnancy, physiological changes, nutritional needs, antenatal care (ANC), warning signs of pregnancy complications, Early Breastfeeding Initiation (EBI), exclusive breastfeeding, lactation preparation, breastfeeding techniques, and management of common breastfeeding problems. The results showed that the number of participants with “good” knowledge increased from 10 (33.3%) on the pre-test to 16 (53.3%) on the post-test, while the number with “poor” knowledge decreased from 20 (66.7%) to 14 (46.7%). The average percentage of correct answers increased from 40.73% to 50.66%, or by 9.93 percentage points. The educational program demonstrated an increase in participants’ knowledge regarding healthy pregnancy and lactation preparation. Ongoing education involving families is necessary to support breastfeeding readiness and the health of both mothers and infants.
