Abstract

Adolescent overweight is increasing in many low- and middle-income settings and is shaped by diet-related knowledge, daily activity patterns, and the school environment. Objective: This study aimed to examine the association between students’ dietary knowledge and physical activity level with excess weight categories among Grade VIII students at SMPN 271 Jakarta in 2024. Methodology: A quantitative cross-sectional analytic study was conducted among 183 Grade VIII students selected using stratified random sampling. Dietary knowledge was measured using a validated 11-item questionnaire (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.931) and categorized as good, moderate, or poor. Physical activity was assessed using the WHO Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) and categorized into low or moderate levels. Associations between dietary knowledge and excess weight categories, and between physical activity and excess weight categories, were tested using the chi-square test (p < 0.05). Findings: Almost half of students had good dietary knowledge (48.1%), while most reported low physical activity (89.1%). Dietary knowledge level was significantly associated with excess weight category (p = 0.004), and physical activity level was also significantly associated with excess weight category (p = 0.004). Implications: The findings support integrated school-based interventions that combine nutrition education with strategies to increase daily physical activity and reduce sedentary routines, including optimizing the school food environment and expanding opportunities for active breaks and extracurricular activities. Originality: This study provides context-specific evidence from an urban junior high school in Jakarta by assessing dietary knowledge and physical activity concurrently in relation to excess weight categories, offering practical insights for designing comprehensive school health programs targeting adolescents.

Abstract

Hypertension is a leading contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and is often undetected until complications occur. Community-friendly, affordable non-pharmacological approaches are therefore needed to support blood pressure control alongside standard therapy. Objective: This study aimed to examine the effect of young coconut water on blood pressure among middle-aged adults (45–59 years) with hypertension in RT005/RW012, Taman Mangu Indah Residential Area, South Tangerang. Methodology: This quantitative study used a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design without a control group. A total of 21 participants received young coconut water (250 cc) twice daily (morning and afternoon) for five consecutive days. Blood pressure was measured before and after the intervention using a calibrated sphygmomanometer, and changes were analyzed using paired t-tests. Findings: Young coconut water consumption was associated with significant reductions in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Morning measurements showed decreases from 150.71 to 140.95 mmHg (systolic) and from 96.19 to 90.48 mmHg (diastolic) (p = 0.001). Afternoon measurements decreased from 145.24 to 132.86 mmHg (systolic) and from 96.19 to 85.24 mmHg (diastolic) (p = 0.001). The afternoon reductions appeared greater than those observed in the morning. Implications: Young coconut water may serve as an accessible, low-cost complementary nursing intervention to support community-based hypertension management. The findings may inform community health education and practical programs to improve blood pressure control among middle-aged adults. Originality: This study provides neighborhood-based evidence using a feasible twice-daily regimen over five days and highlights potential differences in blood pressure reduction between morning and afternoon administrations, offering implementation-oriented insight for community nursing practice.

Abstract

Program pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kesadaran perawatan kaki diabetik serta mendorong praktik pencegahan melalui edukasi senam kaki yang terstruktur bagi individu yang berisiko mengalami komplikasi. Inisiatif ini berfokus pada pemberdayaan peserta dengan keterampilan praktis untuk meningkatkan sirkulasi darah, menambah fleksibilitas, dan menurunkan kemungkinan munculnya gejala neuropati. Tim multidisiplin merancang sesi pembelajaran interaktif yang mengintegrasikan promosi kesehatan, demonstrasi, dan praktik terpandu. Refleksi kualitatif dari para peserta menunjukkan peningkatan pemahaman, motivasi yang lebih kuat untuk menerapkan perawatan kaki secara rutin, serta kepercayaan diri yang lebih tinggi dalam mengelola perilaku kesehatan sehari-hari. Kegiatan ini juga memperkuat kolaborasi antara institusi akademik dan tenaga kesehatan komunitas, sehingga mendukung jalur edukasi berkelanjutan untuk manajemen penyakit kronis. Secara keseluruhan, program ini memberikan wawasan penting mengenai strategi pencegahan yang dapat diterapkan di lingkungan masyarakat untuk mendukung kesejahteraan jangka panjang pada kelompok yang rentan terhadap komplikasi diabetes.
