Abstract

Minor injuries such as cuts, abrasions, and bruises frequently occur among students during school activities. Insufficient knowledge regarding proper wound care may increase the risk of infection and delay the healing process. This community service program aimed to improve students’ knowledge of basic wound care as first aid management for minor injuries through structured health education and demonstration sessions. The program was conducted on December 11, 2025, at SMAN 2 Cibitung and involved 40 students. The intervention consisted of interactive health education covering wound types, infection prevention, and step-by-step wound management procedures, followed by a practical demonstration using teaching aids. Students’ knowledge was assessed using a structured questionnaire administered before (pre-test) and immediately after (post-test) the intervention. A one-group pretest–posttest design was applied. Pre-test results indicated that 62.5% of students had poor knowledge, 32.5% had moderate knowledge, and 5.0% had good knowledge, with a mean score of 54.10 ± 12.30. After the intervention, no students remained in the poor category; 17.5% demonstrated moderate knowledge and 82.5% achieved good knowledge. The mean post-test score increased to 86.25 ± 9.40. The mean difference was 32.15 points (95% CI: 28.60–35.70), and paired sample t-test analysis showed a statistically significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores (p = 0.000). In conclusion, school-based health education combined with demonstration was associated with increased student knowledge of wound care as first aid for minor injuries. Further evaluation with follow-up assessment is recommended to examine long-term knowledge retention.

Abstract

Adolescents are a group that is highly vulnerable to the risk of infectious diseases, and this elevated risk may contribute to an increased prevalence of infections in this age group. Consistent understanding and practice of proper handwashing have been shown to reduce transmission rates of communicable diseases.  Method: This activity was carried out through health education and handwashing practice using a participatory educational approach. Comprehension was evaluated using oral questions, while handwashing practice was assessed through observation of the completeness of each step. A total of 31 adolescent participants aged 16–18 years were selected using purposive sampling. The evaluation showed that understanding of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (CHLB/PHBS) and handwashing was in the good category for 93.54% of participants and in the fair category for 6.64%, with no participants in the poor category. Handwashing practice for all participants (100%) was categorized as good, as they were able to perform the handwashing steps correctly as taught. These findings indicate that brief education combining material explanation, demonstrations, and hands-on practice is effective in improving adolescents’ knowledge and skills related to handwashing. Similar programs are recommended to be implemented regularly and integrated into school activities so that handwashing behavior becomes a sustainable habit and supports the prevention of infectious diseases among adolescents.
