Abstract

Purpose – The Indonesian government had a chronic disease management program, PROLANIS, targeted for diabetes and hypertension since 2010 to prevent chronic disease patients from severe complications through monitoring and control measures. The purpose of this community service was to improve the health status of diabetic patients who participate in PROLANIS in Sukodadi and Sukolilo Villages, Lamongan Regency, through analysis of blood glucose levels. Design/methodology/approach – To overcome the problems previously mentioned, community service has been proposed. This service includes educating participants about metabolic syndrome and health checks. The main aim of this educational program is to increase public awareness about diabetes mellitus. The blood examination aims to determine the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in these villages. This educational program involves direct mentoring and outreach methods, such as the creation of booklets, educational videos, and PPTs. Findings and Discussions – In Sukodadi and Sukolilo Villages, community service was organized as a response to the high prevalence of diabetes mellitus. The program included blood tests and educational sessions for participants enrolled in the PROLANIS initiative. Analysis of the data revealed that the average blood sugar level of the participants was 143.1 mg/dl, slightly above the normal blood sugar level tolerance limit of 140 mg/dl. Nevertheless, the results indicate that the blood sugar levels of the participants can be effectively managed and kept below the diabetes tolerance threshold of <200 mg/dl. Originality/value – Our community services in Sukodadi and Sukolilo Village, Lamongan Regency, showed that most elderly women with diabetes mellitus are retired. As people age, their risk of high blood glucose levels increases. Despite the average glucose level of PROLANIS participants being higher than normal, it can still be controlled. Our findings can guide the government to organize diabetes management programs and help service providers carry out prevention measures.

Abstract

Introduction: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is a life-threatening emergency with a high mortality rate, often associated with delays in bystander response. Limited knowledge and inadequate skills in Basic Life Support among the general public remain major barriers to improving survival outcomes. Educational approaches using simple and practical media, such as CPR mats, have the potential to enhance community readiness in responding to cardiac emergencies. This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of community members in performing BLS through the use of innovative CPR mat-based training. Methods: This community-based activity was conducted in Sukolilo Village in collaboration with the local Community Health Center (Puskesmas), involving 33 participants consisting of health cadres, PKK members (Family Welfare Movement), and community representatives. The intervention included structured education and simulation-based BLS training using a CPR mat. Program effectiveness was evaluated using pre- and post-tests, and the data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: Participants’ knowledge significantly improved after the intervention (p < 0.001), with the mean score increasing from 55.63 to 81.25 and a shift from predominantly poor to good knowledge levels. Practical BLS skills also showed significant improvement based on simulation assessments (p < 0.001), indicating enhanced ability to perform key procedures. Conclusion: CPR mat-based BLS education is effective in enhancing community knowledge, skills, and readiness to act as first responders in cases of cardiac arrest. This approach has strong potential to be implemented as a community-based strategy to improve early emergency response and survival outcomes.
