Abstract

Helminth infections remain one of the most common parasitic diseases affecting children, particularly at the primary school level, where awareness of personal hygiene is generally low. One of the main transmission routes of this infection is through unclean hands. This community service activity at UPT SPF SDN 258 Sakui-Kui aimed to enhance students' understanding of the importance of personal hygiene, specifically by educating them on proper handwashing techniques based on WHO standards. The tools used in this activity included a whiteboard, nail clippers, a camera, a microscope, test tubes, glass slides, cover slips, stirring rods, basins, beakers, petri dishes, test tube racks, and stationery, while the materials used included nail samples from students, water, and salt. The evaluation results indicated that this activity effectively increased students' understanding of personal sanitation by up to 90%, as evidenced by observational evaluations of direct practice. Additionally, students gained knowledge that helminth eggs adhering to nails could cause infections if ingested with food. This educational initiative had a significant impact on shaping students’ personal hygiene behavior, potentially reducing the risk of parasitic infections within the school environment.

Abstract

This blood type education and examination activity aims to raise students' awareness of the importance of knowing their blood type from an early age. The activity was conducted on March 8, 2023, at SDN 137 Caramming, Caramming Village, Bontotiro District, with 28 students and 4 teachers participating. The methods used were lectures and simulations, covering materials on the definition of blood types, the types of blood groups, and the technique of blood type examination. The blood type examination was carried out using an agglutination method with anti-A, anti-B, anti-AB, and anti-D reagents to identify participants’ blood types and Rhesus factor. The results show high levels of enthusiasm among participants, reflected in students' active questioning about different blood types and their characteristics. The examination results indicated a variety of blood types among the participants, including types A, B, AB, and O, all with a positive Rhesus factor. In conclusion, this education and examination activity successfully increased students' knowledge of blood types, which is expected to foster early health awareness.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a non-communicable disease with increasing prevalence in Indonesia, particularly in rural areas with limited access to healthcare services. The low level of public awareness regarding early detection and healthy lifestyle practices further exacerbates this condition. This community service activity aimed to conduct blood glucose screening and provide health education for elderly residents in Buhung Bundang Hamlet, Bontotiro District, Bulukumba Regency. The method employed in this program was a participatory-educational approach based on the Participatory Action Research (PAR) model. The activity was carried out in three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. Supporting tools included a digital glucometer, a simple screening form, and an educational leaflet titled “Beware of Diabetes! Recognize the Symptoms, Prevent Early.” A total of 20 participants, all elderly residents, were involved in the activity. Results showed that 95% of participants had normal blood glucose levels (<140 mg/dL), while 5% (1 participant) was found to have elevated levels (≥200 mg/dL), indicating potential undiagnosed diabetes mellitus. The educational session and the leaflet effectively improved participants' awareness of diabetes risk factors and preventive measures. This program demonstrated that a participatory and educational approach in community service can be an effective preventive intervention to raise health awareness and promote early detection of non-communicable diseases in rural communities. Similar activities are recommended to be conducted regularly, involving local health volunteers as community-based health educators.
