Abstract

The village of IV Koto Mudiek, Batang Kapas District, has 1,891 households (KK) with access to proper toilets, while 310 households (KK) still use inadequate toilets. Meanwhile, surveys/observations show that many people still defecate inappropriately, especially in rivers. One effort is the community's involvement in Community-Based Total Sanitation (STBM) with the first pillar. The aim of this community service is to achieve a change in the community's behavior and to commit to stopping open defecation, especially in the river. The method of this service is carried out through empowerment and training for the community (participants) through lectures, discussions, and simulations with material on the 5 STBM Pillars, with a specific focus on the First Pillar of STBM, which is Stop Open Defecation. The results of the pretest and posttest showed an improvement in the participants' understanding of the 5 STBM pillars, particularly the first pillar, Stop Open Defecation. Additionally, the commitment/agreement of participants to encourage people who still defecate in the river to use proper toilets was achieved. Furthermore, they agreed not to throw trash into the river. The program in Kenagarian IV Koto Mudiek improved STBM understanding, commitment to stop open defecation, and protect rivers.

Abstract

Hypertension among adolescents is an important health issue due to the increasing number of cases at a young age and the low level of knowledge regarding its prevention, thus requiring more effective educational strategies. This study aimed to determine the improvement in adolescents’ knowledge and attitudes in preventing hypertension risk through the Emo-Demo educational media. The study employed a mixed-methods design, consisting of an exploratory study for the qualitative component and a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design for the quantitative component, involving 71 adolescents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and interview guides from January 2024 to June 2025 and analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed an increase in the median knowledge score from 6.00 to 13.00 and an increase in the median attitude score from 33.00 to 40.00, with a significance value of p=0.0001. These findings indicate that Emo-Demo is effective in enhancing adolescents’ understanding and attitudes toward hypertension prevention. It is concluded that Emo-Demo can serve as a powerful educational media for adolescent health promotion and is recommended to be integrated into public health center educational programs to strengthen early prevention efforts for non-communicable diseases.

Abstract

Background:  The transformation of health services through the rebranding of Integrated Health Posts (Posyandu) as a community-friendly service positioned Posyandu as the primary hub for community-based health services, with a lifecycle approach, from pregnant women to the elderly. However, in Aceh Province, Posyandu's functioning still faces challenges such as limited funding, unequal capacity of cadres, and the suboptimal institutional role of the Posyandu Operational Working Group (Pokjanal) and Working Group (Pokja). Purpose: To compile policy recommendations in the form of a policy brief regarding the formation and strengthening of regulations for Pokjanal and Pokja Posyandu at the district/city level in Aceh. Methods: The research employed a strategic review approach based on a policy brief. Data were collected through focus group discussions (FGDs) and in-depth interviews with stakeholders, including the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Ministry of Health, the Health Office, the Community Empowerment Office, the Family Welfare Movement (PKK), the Integrated Health Service Post (Posyandu) working group (Pokjanal), and the National Population and Family Planning Board (BKKBN). Data were analyzed qualitatively through thematic synthesis to formulate policy recommendations. Results:  The findings show that 54% of Posyandu in Aceh are not yet active. Posyandu working groups at the district/city and sub-district levels are not yet functioning optimally, while Posyandu working groups at the village level are still limited. Synthesis of the results of FGDs and interviews resulted in nine policy recommendations, including: socialization of Posyandu's position as a Village Community Institution; affirmation of Posyandu's function as a forum for health and social activities; strengthening the role of working groups in services; increasing the capacity of cadres based on 25 basic competencies; structuring the management structure through Village Regulations/Village Decrees; strengthening lifecycle-based and cross-sectoral services; harmonizing regulations following Law No. 17/2023 concerning Health; and regulating cadre terms of office and incentives. Conclusion: Optimizing Posyandu in Aceh requires derivative regulations at the district/city level for the formation and strengthening of Pokjanal-Pokja, accompanied by clear institutional support and increasing the capacity of Posyandu cadres so that integrated health services can be sustainable.
