Abstract

This community service program aimed to increase adolescents' awareness and knowledge regarding the role of Vitamin A (Retinol) in preventing myopia, particularly in rural areas such as Gembleb Village, Trenggalek. The activity was conducted on Saturday, May 3, 2025, in collaboration with the Government of Gembleb Village and supported by the Institute for Research, Community Service, and Publication (LP3M) of Universitas Kadiri. A total of 15 adolescents participated in the educational intervention, which included a pre-test, a lecture session, and a post-test evaluation. The results showed a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge about myopia and the importance of Vitamin A for eye health. Pre-test scores averaged lower compared to post-test results, with an average increase of 20–25 points. This finding suggests that structured education can effectively enhance health literacy among youth, particularly regarding nutritional prevention of visual disorders. These outcomes underscore the importance of continued community-based health education programs, especially in underserved areas, as a strategic effort to reduce the prevalence of preventable eye diseases

Abstract

This community service program aimed to educate adolescent girls in Dusun Gembleb, Trenggalek, on the benefits of red ginger (Zingiber officinale) as a natural remedy for alleviating menstrual pain. Menstrual pain, or dysmenorrhea, is a common health issue affecting a significant number of adolescent girls, often leading to disruption in daily activities. While conventional pain relief medications are commonly used, their long-term side effects can be detrimental. Red ginger, known for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, offers a safer alternative. The program, held on May 3, 2025, at the Gembleb Village Office, included educational sessions on the medicinal properties of red ginger, practical demonstrations on how to prepare red ginger tea, and discussions on its health benefits. The results showed a significant improvement in participants' understanding of red ginger's therapeutic effects, as evidenced by pre-test and post-test comparisons. This initiative successfully raised awareness about alternative treatments and empowered the community to utilize locally available resources for health improvement.
