Abstract

The rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular conditions poses a significant public health challenge, particularly among the productive age population. Early detection is essential to prevent complications and reduce the disease burden. However, limited human resources in primary healthcare often hinder optimal screening efforts. This community service initiative aimed to optimize the role of health volunteers in the early detection of NCDs through community nursing education. The program included participatory training sessions covering educational modules, practical simulations of blood pressure and glucose monitoring, and the development of effective health communication skills. Post-training evaluations significantly improved the volunteers’ knowledge and competencies in conducting independent NCD screenings. The outcomes suggest that community-based educational interventions can empower health volunteers as frontline agents in promotive and preventive healthcare. This model holds promise for sustainable community engagement in NCD control strategies.

Abstract

Environmental sanitation of an environment consisting of sewage facilities, water supply facilities, garbage disposal facilities, and wastewater disposal facilities. And the sanitation must be owned by every housing that is maintained, clean and healthy, in order to prevent environmental pollution. This study was conducted with the aim to determine the relationship between environmental sanitation and the incidence of helminthiasis in elementary school children in the Barrang Lompo island area with a sample size of 143 children aged 5-10 years. The variables in this study were fecal disposal facilities (latrines), house floors, provision of trash bins, and clean water facilities as part of environmental sanitation. The method used was observational method with cross sectional study design. The results of this study were there was no relationship between latrine ownership and helminthiasis with a value of P = 0.077 > 0.05. There is a relationship between the floor of the house and the incidence of helminthiasis where the value of P = 0.000 < 0.005. There is a relationship between clean water facilities and the incidence of helminthiasis where P value = 0.000 < 0.05. There is a relationship between waste disposal facilities and the incidence of helminthiasis where the P value = 0.000 < 0.05. The conclusion shows that there is an association between helminthiasis in children aged 5-10 years with clean water facilities, house floors, and garbage disposal.
