Abstract

Schistosomiasis is an infectious parasitic disease caused by the Schistosoma worm, transmitted by the snail Oncomelania hupensis lindoensis in endemic areas such as Dodolo Village, Poso Regency, Central Sulawesi. This village has the highest number of intermediate snail foci in the Napu highlands, making it a strategic location for educational interventions. This community service activity aims to improve community knowledge, attitudes, and behavior related to the prevention and treatment of schistosomiasis. Education was carried out using interactive lecture methods, discussions, and pre-test and post-test evaluations of 34 participants from various levels of society. The results showed an increase in the average knowledge score from 3.76 (37.6%) in the pre-test to 8.00 (80.0%) in the post-test, with increased participation and overall understanding. This activity succeeded in building collective awareness and understanding that was evenly distributed throughout the community, and was responded to with a high level of satisfaction (92%). It can be concluded that the participatory education approach is effective in increasing the capacity of the Dodolo Village community in controlling schistosomiasis and can be replicated in other endemic areas as part of a national elimination strategy.

Abstract

Mental disorders are illnesses that affect the emotions, thought patterns, and behaviors of those who suffer from them. The limited understanding of the public regarding the causes of mental disorders creates stigma, leading to mental disorders often being associated with supernatural disturbances. This indicates that the mental health literacy of the community is still relatively low. One of the causes of the increase in mental health disorders is the neglect of the signs and symptoms of mental health issues. The purpose of this activity is to increase public understanding of the signs and symptoms of mental disorders. The method used involves direct socialization by the speaker using leaflet brochures and a question-and-answer session. At the beginning and end of the activity, the presenter asked questions related to mental health to gauge the community's understanding. This activity took place in the temporary shelter of Lambara Village, Tawaeli District, attended by the local community. The result of this activity showed an increase in community understanding through pretest and posttest score about 40%. It can be concluded that this activity is very beneficial for the people of Lambara Village
