Abstract

Nutrition training programmes for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have great potential to improve the welfare and productivity of the workforce. This study used mixed methods research with quantitative and qualitative approaches. A total of 120 workers in the SME sector in the Anak Air health centre working area were selected as the research sample. Data were collected through a questionnaire designed based on relevant nutrition indicators, such as diet, frequency of consumption of nutritious food, and health status of workers. The quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistical tests to describe the distribution of baseline data, as well as inferential tests to assess significant differences between pre- and post-training intervention outcomes. Qualitative in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted to gain an indepth understanding of workers' perceptions, challenges faced, and recommendations for programme development. The results showed that the nutrition training had a significant impact on improving the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours of workers related to healthy nutrition after attending the training. When food and macronutrient availability is closer to the proportion of healthy consumption patterns, there is a possibility of reducing stunting in the neighbourhood.

Abstract

Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) remain a major global health challenge, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. Effective NCD control requires community empowerment through education and mentoring based on local wisdom. This community service program aimed to improve public knowledge, early detection behavior, and skills in NCD prevention and control. The program was conducted from June to July 2025 in Padang Sarai and Batipuh Panjang, Padang City, involving 70 community participants with support from lecturers, students, and primary healthcare workers. A participatory community-based approach was implemented through three stages: health screening, education and training, and evaluation. Educational activities included sessions on hypertension, balanced nutrition, hypertension exercise training, and the use of local plants such as cucumber, bay leaves, and celery as evidence-based herbal therapies, as well as cardiovascular emergency education. Evaluation using pre- and post-tests showed an increase in knowledge scores from 60 % to 88,6%; 90% of participants understood local herbal use, 84,3% could perform hypertension exercises, 92,86 % mastered healthy eating patterns, and 85,7 % recognized heart attack signs. These findings indicate that integrated educational approaches rooted in local wisdom effectively empower communities and enhance NCD prevention capacity.
