Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hyperuricemia are among the major public health challenges in Indonesia. Health promotion and disease prevention efforts through medical check-ups and education are important strategies to increase public awareness and enable early detection of NCD risk factors. This community service program was conducted in Adatongeng Village, Turikale District, Maros Regency, involving 12 residents. The intervention consisted of three stages: anamnesis, vital signs examination including blood pressure, and blood sugar and uric acid level tests. Counseling was then provided on healthy lifestyle practices, including a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and the importance of routine medical check-ups. The results showed active community participation in both the examinations and educational sessions, as well as increased awareness of the importance of early detection and prevention of NCDs. This activity suggests that integrating medical check-ups and education is an effective strategy in health promotion and disease prevention efforts to improve community quality of life.

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescence is a critical developmental stage that is vulnerable to mental health problems. Globally, about 14% of adolescents experience mental health issues, and in Indonesia, the prevalence reaches 34.9%. A study in Makassar City also revealed that 47.9% of adolescents aged 15–18 years suffer from mental health problems. Family factors, particularly father involvement in parenting, play an important role in maintaining adolescent mental health. Objective: To analyze the relationship between father involvement in parenting and adolescent mental health. Method: This quantitative study employed a descriptive analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 78 tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 3 Makassar. Data were collected using questionnaires on father involvement and adolescent mental health, and analyzed using the Chi-square test. Result: Most respondents were female (65.4%) and aged 15 years (61.5%). Adolescent mental health levels were categorized as very good (26.9%), good (59%), and poor (14.1%). Father involvement was mostly at the moderate level (70.5%), followed by high (17.9%) and low (11.5%). The Chi-square test showed a p-value of 0.000, indicating a significant relationship between father involvement in parenting and adolescent mental health. Conclusion: Father involvement in parenting has a significant impact on adolescent mental health. Higher father involvement is associated with better adolescent mental well-being. Strengthening the role of fathers, both emotionally and physically, is essential to support adolescents’ psychological well-being.
