Abstract

The flash floods and landslides that occurred in Surantih, Pesisir Selatan Regency caused various health problems. Post-disaster emergency response has been well coordinated through government hospitals and public health centers. However, the analysis of the Crisis Center of the Indonesian Ministry of Health and the Public Health Office of Pesisir Selatan District indicates a potential decline in health conditions, both physically and psychologically. The risk of post-disaster illness and psychological trauma needs to be prevented through the provision of preventive-oriented health services. Barriers to access to health services, especially for residents still living in disaster sites and refugees who are scattered due to infrastructure damage, exacerbate the situation. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a mobile clinic to overcome these obstacles and prevent a decline in physical and psychological health conditions. This activity aims to make a real contribution to post-disaster health management, and actively involve stakeholders in the establishment of mobile clinics. The implementation of the mobile clinic was carried out at four points that reached victims affected by the cold lava disaster. The number of health workers deployed was 8 specialist doctors 6 nurses 2 pharmacists and 4 psychologists. Mobile clinics provide services for post-disaster health problems and post-disaster chronic diseases. From the results of screening and health history taking, there were 90 disaster victims who had health problems such as skin diseases, chronic diseases, and post-disaster trauma problems. The implementation of mobile clinics provides solutions to obstructed access during disaster events, immediate handling of post-disaster physical problems and provides continuity of care for chronic diseases when post-disaster health services stop.

Abstract

Social interaction plays a crucial role in supporting successful aging, particularly among elderly individuals with chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and heart disease. This study aims to analyze the impact of social interaction on successful aging among elderly people visiting the Andalas Health Center in Padang City. A causal-comparative design with a cross-sectional approach was used, involving 266 elderly individuals who visited the health center between May and June 2023. Data were collected using a Likert-based questionnaire measuring social interaction and successful aging. The results of the correlation test reveal that various aspects of social interaction positively influence dimensions of successful aging, including lifestyle, physical health, and mental health. Participation in social activities had the highest correlation with lifestyle (0.60) and physical health (0.48), while close social relationships correlated positively with lifestyle (0.49), physical health (0.33), and mental health (0.35). Furthermore, satisfaction with social support had the greatest impact on mental health (0.49), followed by physical health (0.39) and lifestyle (0.44), emphasizing the importance of both active social participation and feeling supported in maintaining overall well-being. These findings suggest that enhancing social interaction, particularly through community engagement and strong interpersonal relationships, is a significant factor in improving the quality of life and supporting successful aging, especially for elderly individuals with chronic conditions. Therefore, community-based interventions and health programs that promote social participation and strengthen social support networks are recommended to foster healthier aging.

Abstract

Adolescence is a critical developmental stage marked by physical, psychological, emotional, and social transitions that increase vulnerability to mental health challenges. Internal and external stressors such as academic pressure, peer relationships, and the school environment can heighten the risk of psychological distress. This community service program was conducted on 28 May 2025 at SMKN 1 Lembah Gumanti, Solok, West Sumatra, through collaboration between the Faculty of Nursing, Universitas Andalas, and the school community. The program aimed to increase awareness of adolescent mental health and promote preventive strategies through school-based education. The intervention was delivered in three phases: (1) screening and problem assessment using the SRQ-29, (2) educational sessions, and (3) stress management workshops. A total of 196 Grade XI students participated. Pre-test and post-test results demonstrated measurable improvements in knowledge of adolescent mental health (Mean pre-test = 7.69, SD = 1.89; Mean post-test = 8.49, SD = 1.91). Students also reported increased awareness of internal (resilience, emotional regulation, mindfulness) and external (peer support, school environment) factors influencing mental health, as well as confidence in applying stress management techniques. These findings underscore the importance of school-based interventions in raising awareness, strengthening coping skills, and preventing mental health problems among adolescents. Future programs may expand by incorporating peer-support models such as student mental health ambassadors to ensure sustainability and long-term impact.
