Abstract

Dengue fever (DHF) is still a public health problem in many parts of Indonesia, including Kurung Village, Kejayan Subdistrict, Pasuruan District. The low awareness of residents towards environment-based prevention behavior is one of the factors for the high risk of transmission. This activity aims to increase knowledge, establish clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS), and build a community-based dengue prevention system through education and community empowerment. Through participatory and educative methods, this activity resulted in increased community knowledge, changes in 3M Plus behavior, and the implementation of routine PSN at the RT level. The program also strengthens collaboration between the community, village government, and Puskesmas. Theoretically, this activity supports the community empowerment approach, the Health Belief Model, and the socioecological model, and has proven effective for replication in other areas.

Abstract

Toddler nutrition problems in rural areas require affordable, practical, and community-sustained interventions. Kurung Village, Kejayan District, Pasuruan Regency has abundant moringa (Moringa oleifera) resources; however, their utilization for supplementary feeding remains limited because Posyandu cadres have not yet acquired adequate food-processing skills. This community service program aimed to empower Posyandu cadres through nutrition education and mentoring in the preparation of moringa pudding as a local-food-based supplementary feeding alternative. The program applied a participatory approach consisting of preparation and administrative approval, nutrition socialization, hands-on training, independent mentoring, monitoring, and sustainability advocacy. The results showed an increase in cadres' knowledge from an average pre-test score of 52.4 to 88.6 in the post-test, representing a gain of 36.2 points. The moringa pudding developed through the program had a soft texture, attractive color, and reduced herbal odor. Acceptability evaluation showed that 85% of the target toddlers consumed the pudding completely, 10% consumed most of it, and 5% refused it because they were ill or experiencing acute picky eating. The program also secured the commitment of the Kurung Village Government to integrate the procurement of moringa-based supplementary feeding ingredients into the health allocation of the Village Fund. This mentoring program indicates that practice-based cadre capacity building can strengthen local competence and support the sustainability of community-based nutrition interventions.
