Abstract

Dental and oral health is an integral part of overall body health. Having healthy teeth and mouth significantly helps in activities such as speaking, eating, and socializing without being disturbed by pain, discomfort, or embarrassment. However, the reality is that the level of dental and oral health in Indonesia is still relatively low. This study aims to analyze the dental and oral health of elementary school students at the Tembilahan Hulu Community Health Center, Indragiri Hilir Regency. This research employs a qualitative method through in-depth interviews, observations, and document review. The research informants were the Head of the Community Health Center and the dentist. Observations were made by directly observing the planning, implementation, and reporting processes, as well as documentation review. The results of the study identified the priority problem, which was the high number of dental caries cases in school-age children at the Tembilahan Hulu Community Health Center. The causes were limited human resources for implementing the dental and oral health program, non-functioning counseling and mass tooth brushing, lack of educational media, incomplete School Dental Health (UKGS) KIT, no Health Operational Assistance funds for the UKGS program, lack of knowledge and awareness of the importance of dental and oral health, and the family environment having incorrect habits such as improper tooth brushing. It is recommended for the Community Health Center to attend dental and oral health training, create educational videos on Instagram, and optimize the budget for activities such as counseling and mass tooth brushing.

Abstract

Anemia is one of the health problems worldwide, especially in developing countries, where an estimated 30% of the world's population suffers from it. The aim of this research activity is to understand the implementation of blood-boosting tablet distribution. The method used is qualitative, involving the USG stage to determine problem priorities, followed by SWOT analysis. The sample for this research report consists of high school female students. The next stage involves conducting counseling sessions according to the identified problem priorities. The activity took place at the Hulu Tembilahan Community Health Center in the Indragiri Hilir District from November 4th to December 18th, 2023. Through a well-organized series of stages, from preparation to conclusion, this activity successfully created a positive dialogue space between organizers and participants. The results indicated suboptimal implementation of distributing blood-boosting tablets for adolescent girls at the Hulu Tembilahan Community Health Center in the Indragiri Hilir District and identified problem priorities. The Plan of Action involves Health Education by healthcare professionals as an effort to increase the launch/commitment to anemia-free initiatives in the preventive implementation of anemia among adolescent girls.
