Abstract

The primary objective of this community service activity is to provide Indonesian Immigrant Workers (IIWs) with a fundamental understanding of biometric data. This study is significant due to the growing reliance on biometric systems across sectors and the vulnerability of IIWs, who often lack awareness of data security risks. Limited digital literacy and inadequate access to legal protections heighten their susceptibility to data misuse and breaches. The research employs a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) approach, ensuring the involvement of stakeholders from Sanggar Belajar Sentul to design the activities, making them contextually relevant and addressing the specific needs of the target community. The community service successfully educated 23 Indonesian Immigrant Workers, increasing their awareness of the types of biometric data and the associated risks, particularly data leakage. The findings emphasise the importance of such educational initiatives in empowering vulnerable populations to safeguard their personal information. It is recommended that similar programs be expanded to other immigrant communities, integrating hands-on training and leveraging digital platforms for broader outreach. The contributions of this research include the effectiveness of community-based education in improving biometric data literacy and data protection awareness among immigrant workers, which can serve as a model for future educational interventions aimed at strengthening digital literacy in marginalised communities.

Abstract

 Non-communicable diseases are the leading cause of death globally, with hypertension being one of the most prevalent conditions characterized by elevated blood pressure above normal limits. In Sampang Regency, Madura, more than 15,000 hypertension cases were reported in 2022, reflecting significant public health concern. Poor health literacy, high-salt and high-fat dietary habits, and lack of physical activity contribute to the growing incidence. This community service program was conducted at Darussalam Al-Faisholiyah Islamic Boarding School in Sampang, aiming to improve the capacity of pesantren cadres in hypertension prevention through training on producing herbal drinks made from celery extract as a complementary therapy. The program included educational sessions on hypertension, hands-on practice in herbal drink preparation, and pre-test and post-test evaluations. Fifteen pesantren cadres actively participated in the activity. The results showed an increase in participants’ average knowledge scores from 7.4 to 8.4, indicating better understanding and practical skills. The program successfully enhanced health literacy, promoted healthy lifestyle awareness, and empowered the pesantren community to engage in preventive health practices. This initiative has the potential to be replicated in other pesantren to expand its preventive impact on hypertension, with continued mentoring and cadre monitoring recommended for sustainability.
