Abstract

One indicator of achieving good child and family health is optimal child growth and development. However, parents are often unaware of delays in their children’s development. Common disorders include physical growth, motor, language, and behavioral problems. Based on the 2023 Riskesdas survey, among 82,661 infants and toddlers weighed nationwide, the prevalence of underweight was 19.6%, consisting of 5.7% severe and 13.9% moderate malnutrition.Families with toddlers need adequate education to monitor and stimulate growth and development effectively. Promotive and preventive efforts through community service activities are important strategies to improve child health outcomes. This activity aimed to enhance family knowledge and support early detection of children’s growth, development, and nutritional status.The program was conducted on January 25, 2026, in Rejomulyo Village, Kediri City, targeting families with infants and toddlers. Activities included growth and development screening, nutritional status assessment, developmental stimulation through educational games, and education on Clean and Healthy Living Behaviors (PHBS), food safety, and child-friendly environments. Supporting tools included booklets, knowledge questionnaires, and the Pre-Development Screening Questionnaire (KPSP) instrument.The results showed high participant attendance and strong community enthusiasm. No cases of developmental delay or stunting were identified. Families’ knowledge regarding child health, nutrition, and PHBS improved after the intervention.This activity effectively increased family awareness of monitoring child growth and implementing healthy living practices to support optimal child development.

Abstract

Many studies have shown that education can improve adolescents' knowledge about sexual violence prevention. However, most studies have used traditional methods such as lectures, discussions, or printed materials. The use of game-based learning methods such as the Good Behavior Game (GBG) to improve knowledge about sexual violence has received limited attention, especially among junior high school students. Therefore, further research is needed to determine whether GBG is effective in increasing adolescents' knowledge about sexual violence. This study aims to determine the effect of the educational media GBG on the level of knowledge about sexual violence in adolescents. This study used a pre- experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach. Ninety-one students in grades VII, VIII, and IX of SMP Negeri 9, Kediri City, were selected using a purposive sampling technique. The research instrument was a questionnaire on the level of knowledge about sexual violence. Data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed that before the education, most respondents had a low level of knowledge about sexual violence (61.5%). After education using GBG, most respondents improved to a good level (93.4%). The Wilcoxon test showed a significant difference between the levels of knowledge before and after the intervention (p = 0.000 < 0.05). GBG educational media has been effective in increasing adolescents' knowledge about sexual violence because it uses an interactive, participatory, and group-based learning approach that can increase student engagement, attention, and understanding of the material more effectively than conventional educational methods.
