Abstract

Worm infection is still a public health problem, especially in young children who are vulnerable due to lack of awareness and understanding of clean and healthy lifestyles. This community service activity aims to improve the knowledge of children at Nurhidayah Binjai Serbangan Kindergarten about the causes, symptoms, and prevention of worm disease. The methods used are counseling with visual media, interactive stories, and evaluation in the form of pre-tests and post-tests. This activity was carried out in March 2025 and was attended by 40 children. The evaluation results showed a significant increase in children's understanding after being given counseling. Before the counseling, only 40% of children knew about worms, while after the counseling it increased to 90%. This activity shows that the interactive counseling method is very effective in improving early childhood knowledge about health. It is hoped that this kind of activity can continue to be carried out periodically to prevent worm disease from an early age. In addition, the role of teachers and parents is also very important in strengthening healthy living habits in the school and home environment.

Abstract

Malaria is a disease caused by protozoa of the genus Plasmodium. Malaria in humans can be caused by P. malariae, P. vivax, P. falciparum, and P. ovale. Malaria is transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes, resulting in infection of red blood cells by Plasmodium, which is transmitted through the Anopheles mosquito's bloodsucking. The purpose of this study was to determine family knowledge about malaria prevention. This study used a descriptive survey design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population was 103 heads of families in Darussalam Hamlet, Teluk Piai Village, with a sample of 20 respondents. Respondents were family members suffering from malaria. The sample was selected using the Probability  sampling technique or Simple Random Sampling, where the sample was drawn randomly without regard to strata within the population. Based on the results, it was found that family knowledge about malaria prevention was categorized as quite good, with a score of 6.75 (67.5%). Although families understand the basic transmission methods, there are still shortcomings in the technical aspects of independent primary prevention. Conclusion: Family knowledge is at a moderate (sufficient) level. Strengthening health education through a family-centered approach is needed to increase understanding and shift preventive behavior from adequate to good to support the malaria elimination program.
