Abstract

Background: Worms and scabies are two common health problems found in areas with inadequate sanitation, including rural areas such as Karang Tengah Village, Gunung Pancar. Adolescents are a vulnerable group to these two diseases due to suboptimal hygiene practices and limited health knowledge. Objective: This activity aims to increase adolescents' understanding of the transmission, symptoms, prevention, and initial management of worms and scabies through interactive counseling activities. Method: The activity was carried out in the form of counseling with a participatory approach in the village hall, involving 45 adolescents aged 12–18 years. The material was provided through presentations, discussions, and the distribution of educational leaflets. Evaluation was carried out with a pretest and posttest to measure changes in knowledge. Results: There was a significant increase in knowledge after the counseling, with an average pretest score of 56.2 increasing to 84.5 in the posttest. In addition, participants showed high enthusiasm and expressed a commitment to implementing clean and healthy living behaviors. Conclusion: Health counseling has been proven effective in increasing adolescents' understanding of worms and scabies. Educational interventions such as these are recommended to be implemented periodically in similar communities to prevent the occurrence of environmentally based infectious diseases.

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension, defined as systolic blood pressure >140 mmHg and diastolic >90 mmHg, is a major health issue that may lead to complications in various organs. It is influenced by modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between modifiable risk factors and the incidence of hypertension in Jemah Village, Sumedang Regency, in 2024. Method: This research used a quantitative cross-sectional design and was conducted in April 2024 in Jemah Village. The population included all residents aged ≥18 years, with 50 respondents selected using purposive sampling based on the Lemeshow formula. Central obesity was chosen as the primary variable due to its highest required sample size. Results and Discussion: Among the 50 respondents (24% male, 76% female), 70% were aged 18–64 years. Key modifiable risk factors identified included 66% non-smokers, 82% with excessive salt intake, 54% moderate physical activity, 44% with central obesity, and 54% with dyslipidemia. Chi-square analysis showed significant associations between hypertension and dyslipidemia (p=0.001), smoking (p=0.036), physical activity (p=0.046), and salt consumption (p=0.024). Conclusion: Hypertension was more prevalent among women. Dyslipidemia, smoking, physical inactivity, and high salt intake were significantly associated with hypertension.

Abstract

Immunization is an effort to actively create/increase a person's immunity against a disease so that if one day they are exposed to the disease they will not become sick or will only experience mild illness. By providing timely immunization, the community can remain protected and VPD outbreaks can be prevented. Diseases that can be prevented by immunization currently still threaten the world because they can cause death and disability. Based on this, it is very necessary to take preventive and promotive actions related to the importance of immunization. The method used in this activity is through socialization and discussions involving expert speakers in their fields with participants consisting of 67 mothers of toddlers. Participants came from three villages in Jatigede sub-district, Sumedang.
