Abstract

Physically demanding tasks in long-term care, such as lifting and repositioning patients, increase caregivers' risk of musculoskeletal disorders, highlighting the need for empowerment through targeted education and skills training to ensure safe practices. This community service aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational training program for caregivers, focusing on working posture management and technique in transferring older people to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries. A pre- and post-intervention design was used to assess cognitive improvement and participant satisfaction among 41 caregivers in community setting. Results showed a marked increase in correct responses across all questionnaire items following the training, indicating improved knowledge and satisfaction throughout the training. The increased to 95.1% after the training was found, indicating a significant gain in knowledge about the basic concepts of transfer techniques. Participants expressed high satisfaction, with simulation-based learning identified as the most effective instructional method. The findings suggest that targeted, practical training can enhance caregivers’ competencies and contribute to safer caregiving practices. Despite these positive outcomes, limitations included a participant bias, limited follow-up, or the socio-economic context of the participants in short-term evaluation. Future programs are recommended to include follow-up assessments and wider community involvement to ensure long-term impact and sustainability.

Abstract

Local wisdom-based ecopreneurship focuses on sustainability and environmental preservation, offering midwives the opportunity to utilize local natural resources efficiently while preserving social and cultural values. In South Sulawesi, integrating ecopreneurship into midwifery education remains underexplored. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the "Bidan Elok" E-Learning platform in enhancing midwifery students ecopreneurship competency, aligning with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4 (Quality Education) and 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth). A One Group Pre-Test and Post-Test design was conducted with 150 midwifery students from Gowa, Makassar, Parepare, and Palopo. The study measured competency changes before and after using local wisdom-based learning media. Results indicated a significant improvement, with average scores increasing from 58.4 (pre-test) to 82.6 (post-test). Effectiveness varied by work experience, with the highest N-Gain score (0.72) in the 0-5 years experience group and the lowest (0.60) in the 15-20 years group. E-Learning media integrated with local wisdom values effectively enhanced students ecopreneurship competency. However, more adaptive approaches are needed for students with longer work experience. This study recommends further development of technology and culture-based learning methods to strengthen ecopreneurship competency in midwifery education and support SDG achievement.
