Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypercholesterolemia, hyperuricemia, and hyperglycemia are common health problems among adults and can develop into cardiovascular diseases and diabetes if not detected early. This community service activity was carried out to provide education on risk factors, prevention, and control of cholesterol, uric acid, and blood glucose levels among parents of students at RA Avicenna in Sorong City, as well as to conduct examinations of these three parameters as an early detection effort. The methods used included interactive counseling using presentation media, question-and-answer discussions, and health checks using point-of-care testing (POCT) devices. A total of 23 respondents participated, ranging in age from 22 to 55 years. The results showed that 22 individuals had normal blood glucose levels and 1 individual had high glucose levels. Nine people had normal cholesterol levels, eight were in the borderline category, and six had high cholesterol levels. Five participants had normal uric acid levels, while 18 had elevated uric acid levels, for which additional education and recommendations for further medical examination were provided. In conclusion, educational activities combined with health screening proved effective in increasing community awareness and motivation to prevent NCDs early.

Abstract

The microbiological quality of refill drinking water is an important aspect in ensuring the safety of water consumed by the community. The presence of Escherichia coli can be used as an indicator of fecal contamination and is one of the important parameters in assessing the microbiological quality of drinking water. This study aims to compare the microbiological quality of reverse osmosis (RO) and mineral refill drinking water based on the presumptive detection of Escherichia coli. This study uses a descriptive observational design with a comparative approach based on laboratory examination. A total of 40 refillable drinking water samples, consisting of 20 RO samples and 20 mineral samples, were examined at the Microbiology Laboratory of STIKES Papua from May to July 2026. The examination was conducted through presumptive testing using Lactose Broth (LB), confirmatory testing using Brilliant Green Bile Broth (BGLB), and observation of colony characteristics on Eosin Methylene Blue (EMB) agar. The research results show that 8 out of 40 samples (20%) indicated presumptive positive results for Escherichia coli. In the RO group, 1 positive sample (5%) was found, while in the mineral group, 7 positive samples (35%) were found. The Fisher’s exact test results showed a p-value of 0.044 (p<0.05), indicating a difference in the proportion of presumptive Escherichia coli results between RO and mineral refill water. Descriptively, the proportion of positive results was higher in the mineral water group compared to the RO group. These findings highlight the importance of microbiological quality control and the implementation of good hygiene and sanitation practices at all stages of management and refilling of drinking water. Because the examination stopped at the EMB medium, the positive results in this study are presumptive and not yet a definitive confirmation of Escherichia coli. Further examination using biochemical tests is necessary to confirm the identity of the bacteria
