Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB), commonly known as tuberculosis, is a dangerous airborne disease. It is transmitted by bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which spreads through the air when a TB sufferer spits, coughs, or sneezes, which are then inhaled by others. This disease can be prevented by several efforts, including carefully recording TB sufferers and treating them as soon as possible. Furthermore, further efforts include providing literacy or knowledge to the community about how to prevent TB transmission. These efforts include educating families and the wider community about proper handwashing and cough etiquette through Health Education. This community service program aims to increase families' understanding of how to reduce and prevent the spread of TB infection, namely by teaching handwashing and coughing etiquette. The approach implemented was physical and mental well-being education using a pre- and post-testing plan, involving 29 participants within the Balajara Community Health Center. Educational media used included presentations, leaflets, and flipcharts containing information on preventing TB infection transmission through handwashing and coughing etiquette. The results of this activity showed an increase in family knowledge, with the good knowledge group experiencing an increase from 41.37% in the initial test to 86.20% in the final test. It can be concluded that health education is effective in increasing family knowledge regarding preventing TB infection transmission through handwashing and cough etiquette. It is hoped that similar activities can be implemented continuously with the active participation of household members and field implementers.

Abstract

Older adults or the elderly experience a biological process that inevitably occurs in every individual. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a condition in which systolic blood pressure is >140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure is >90 mmHg. A lack of knowledge among older adults and their families regarding toga (family medicinal plants) is a risk factor for delays in detection and management. This community service activity aimed to increase older adults’ knowledge of toga plants through health education. The method used was health education with a pre-test and post-test design involving 30 older adults in Kampung Besar Village, Teluk Naga District. Educational media included presentations, leaflets, and flipcharts on toga plants. The results showed an improvement in the level of knowledge among older adults, with the proportion in the good knowledge category increasing from 20% in the pre-test to 90.5% in the post-test. The conclusion of this activity is that health education is effective in improving older adults’ knowledge of toga plants. It is expected that similar activities can be carried out sustainably by involving families and health cadres.
