Abstract

Stroke is a functional brain disorder that occurs suddenly and is characterised by clinical symptoms both vocal and global which persist for a period exceeding 24 hours. These symptoms are caused by disorders affecting the blood circulation system. In patients who have suffered a stroke can result in difficulties for carrying out activities of daily living and in the development of motor skills. The research design was a correlational observational study with a cross-sectional approach. The study sample comprised 30 post-stroke patients. Inclusion criteria were patients post-stroke one year or more, seeking outpatient treatment at the Neurology Clinic from June to August 2024. Sampling was conducted using the purposive sampling technique. Spearman rho test for bivariat analysis is used to assess the impact of functional status on the quality of life of post-stroke patients. The research instrument was a questionnaire. The Functional Status Questionnaire employs the Barthel Index scale. The respondent indicated that they were fully independent. The quality of life questionnaire employs the Short Form Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale (SSQOL). P-value for the spearman correlation test is 0.046 (<0.05) indicates that there is a statistically significant influence between functional status and the patient's quality of life. The correlation coefficient value is r=0.368, indicating that the influence between functional status and quality of life is moderate to strong. These positive results indicate that as an individual's functional status improves, so does their quality of life one year after stroke. Consequently, the functional status of these patients can be improved through stroke rehabilitation, which is designed to enhance quality of life. Keywords: Functional Status, Stroke, Quality of Life

Peserta kegiatan sebanyak 40 orang yang terdiri dari kader posyandu, Ibu hamil dan ibu Balita.

Hasil kegiatan diperoleh peningkatan pengetahuan kader, ibu hamil dan ibu balita mayoritas cukup sebanyak 60% dan 40% pengetahuan baik. Pelaksanaan Kegiatan Pengabdian Masyarakat mampu meningkatkan pengetahuan kader, ibu hamil dan ibu balita mengenai stunting dan pemanfaatan daun kelor sebagai upaya alternatif pencegahan stunting.Abstract: Stunting is a health problem that we still encounter in Indonesia. By 2024 the Indonesian Government has a target to reduce growth failure or stunting by 14 percent. Stunting has an impact on children's cognitive, motor and verbal development which is not optimal. In the future, stunted children have a higher risk of obesity and other diseases. Apart from that, children's learning capacity and performance as well as productivity and work capacity are also not optimal. The aim of this Community Service is to increase community knowledge (Posyandu cadres, mothers of toddlers, mothers of children under five) in using Moringa leaves as an alternative measure to prevent stunting. There were 40 activity participants consisting of posyandu cadres, pregnant women and toddler mothers. The activity method is a lecture followed by questions and answers, a simulation of the use of Moringa leaves, distribution of Moringa leaf seeds. The results of the activity obtained an increase in the knowledge of cadres, the majority of pregnant women and mothers of toddlers had sufficient knowledge of 60% and 40% had good knowledge. Implementation of Community Service Activities is able to increase the knowledge of cadres, pregnant women and mothers of toddlers regarding stunting and the use of Moringa leaves as an alternative measure to prevent stunting.
