Abstract

Epistaxis is defined as bleeding of the nose that frequently occurs in children. Although epistaxis is not a serious condition, the correct first aid management is necessary to prevent the complication. Primary school teachers take the role of parents in school, therefore they are expected to know the right first aid management of epistaxis. It is expected that health education on epistaxis will increase the knowledge of first aid management on epistaxis. This training aims to know the impact of health education on the knowledge of epistaxis first aid management among primary school teachers in Penjaringan District. The training was evaluated in the pre and post intervention. The respondents were five primary school teachers from elementary schools in Penjaringan Districts, North Jakarta. Data were collected by questionnaire based interview taken from Dr.Nymbaka O. Kevin M. Med ENT, Head & Neck Surgery Resident “An Assessment of Knowledge, Attitude and Practice in First Aid Management of Epistaxis” before and after the health education.

The paired t-test analysis shows the increase was statistically significant. Evaluation of the training confirmed that epistaxis health education improved the knowledge of epistaxis first aid management among primary school teachers in Penjaringan District.

Abstract

The Community Partnership Program reported in this paper aimed to produce iodized salt using the innovative Solar termal Salt House in increasing the production and productivity of salt pond land with low costs and sustainability. The method used was the salt crystallization technique produced by small salts and then washed with brine to remove impurities to obtain white, shiny, salt crystals. The crystals obtained were then dried in the Solar Thermal Salt House to protect them from pollution and dust particles. The dried salt crystals were sorted using a filter to get a uniform crystal size before they were iodized and packaged for sales. The iodized salt was sold at a price of 1,000.00 IDR for 250 grams. The results showed that producing iodized salt through the Solar Thermal Salt House was able to help the participants to increase the production and productivity of their pond land. The use of geothermal plastic as a crystallization table was shown to be able to increase the quantity and quality of salt products in Sanolo Village, Bolo District, Bima Regency. It was also found that odized salt production mulitiplied farmers' income by up to 400%, as well as changes in their behavior in the application of science and technology to produce salt.

Abstract

MPASI, complementary food to breast milk, is food or drink containing nutrients, given to babies or infants aged 6-24 months, and given in stages according to the age and digestive capacity of the babies or infants to meet their nutritional needs other than breast milk. The objective of the activity was to improve the mothers’ knowledge of correct and good complementary food for their under-five-year-old infants in Sukmajaya, Depok 2018 and to determine the differences of these mothers’ knowledge about how to process and use ingredients for the complementary food before and after counseling. The method of this community service activity was through pre- and post-test designs. The results showed that the average score of mothers; knowledge before the counseling was 73.00 and after the counseling 79.43. The difference in the mean value between the first and second measurements was 6.43 and the results of the statistical test show the value of P value <0.05. Therefore, it can be concluded that there were significant differences between the pre-test (before counseling) and post-test (after counseling) scores. Based on the results of data processing and analysis, it was found that 66.66% of respondents experienced improving knowledge of complementary food, although the number was still below the target of 70%.

Abstract

The biggest hope for a better life in our society is through good quality of education. Through education, everyone will also be exposed to the truth. The tutoring program reported in this paper attempted to improve the quality of education for children in Dumpit, Tangerang. There were a great number of children who were not able to to go to school due to their parents’ difficult situation. In addition, these children’s parents paid little attention to their children’s physical appearance, health care, and behaviors. Through this tutoring activity, the students were exposed to the importance of education, moral and characters, and healthy living. Some materials given to the early age students included basic calculating, writing, reading, and singing. For elementary students, they were tutored in math, science, language, arts, civilization, and social science. For secondary level students, they were tutored in math, physics, biology, chemistry, accounting, language, economics, geography, sociology, history, and civilization. The mentoring methods used varied depending on the number of students and their characteristics. The mentors did their best to make learning active and fun so that the students did not get bored. We hope that this tutoring program is beneficial to the students and might have a good impact on the students and their neighborhood as well as the tutors.

Abstract

The commitment to green behavior can be implemented through some activities in Raudhatul Athfal Toufiqurrahman. However, the implementation of such commitment faces two problems, namely social cultural aspects and the lifestyles of society. Differences in knowledge, educational background, and experience or lifestyle may hinder parents and teachers from being able to give proper guidance to their children and students about environment-friendly activities. Schools have limitation in organizing these activities and therefore they need to be helped. The goal of the community service program reported in this paper was to supervise teachers when introducing and evaluating environment-friendly activities. Teachers were chosen to be involved in this program so that they would be able to improve parents’ and students’ awareness about environment-friendly activities. The results showed that there was a change in students’ behavior, for example in using different types of garbage bin, in maintaining the cleanliness of the river, and in recycling unused materials for students’ crafts. However, other types of behavior such as energy-saving behavior and parents’ supervision tended to be getting lower and some were similar to those others observed before. We found that parents and students would support the green behavior movement and encourage pro-environmental behavior among kindergarten students.

Abstract

This community service program is motivated by environmental problems in the Cilincing area of North Jakarta. There are many school-aged children who enjoy playing in an unhealthy environment that might affect their health at their young age. This unawareness can be overcome by instilling in them clean and healthy lifestyle. The purpose of the clean and healthy lifestyle program implemented in Atmabrata PAUD, Cilincing, was to make the students aware of healthy living from an early age. The program included 7-step hand washing training, familiarizing children to wash their hands, and consuming healthy food. The method was implemented by story-telling, question and answer, and demonstrations. The results showed that for hand washing activities 85% of students could do it according to the 7 steps of hand washing that had been simulated and demonstrated. As for consuming healthy food, 90% of students enjoyed healthy food and bought it. It can concluded that the increasing awareness of clean and healthy living behaviors can be determined by looking at whether or not students washed their hands in accordance with the steps described. Students also looked excited in eating healthy food and buying it. It is hoped that if a clean and healthy lifestyle such as washing hands and eating healthy food has become a habit, students will be able to apply it on a daily basis and pass it on to their friends. We suggest that if the program is continued, it needs to have further monitoring to examine whether students are still implementing clean and healthy living behaviors at school. We hope that in our next community service program we will be able to train students how to maintain personal hygiene, cleanliness of their home environment, and cleanliness of public environment.

Abstract

Yayasan Wahana Inclusive Indonesia (YWII) is an institution engaged in providing services for children with special needs, people with disability, and inclusive society. YWII provides services that include counseling, development of individual learning programs (PPIs), support services for children with special needs, and training for educators, schools, parents, and communities. Educational and training activities are conducted by helping children with special needs to learn a few things they need most in their daily lives. Based on the children’s needs, the Master’s Program of Child and Adolescent Psychology Professionals, Faculty of Psychology, Atma Jaya Catholic University, designed training-based interventions to improve the knowledge of students, teachers, and parents about sexual behaviors. Prior to the intervention, the researcher conducted an assessment to determine the causes of "inapproriate" sexual behavior problems that occurred in the YWII environment. The data was collected through instruments such as interview, observation, and FGD. The collected data was then analyzed using the concepts of problem tree and destination tree. Based on the assessment results, it can be concluded that one of the challenges faced by YWII is related to the provision of sexual education to students or children. Adolescents with special needs have not yet had an awareness of their development from children to adolescents that is followed by sexual change or development and how they should respond to the changes. As a result, they are often considered to exhibit behaviors considered rude and vulnerable to sexual harassment. Training-based interventions were provided to parents and teachers at YWII to give them guidance and assistance to handle children with special needs on sexual education

Abstract

Self-medication is defined as self treatment and self-diagnose for conditions such as cough, flu, fever, pain, stomach ulcers, worms, diarrhea, rash, and some other minor illnesses. Based on the data from Badan Penelitian dan Pengembangan Kesehatan Kementerian Kesehatan RI (2013), there were 103.860 of 294.959 households (35,2%) in Indonesia which store medicines for selfmedication (including 35,7% “Obat Keras” or “Gevaarlijk” and 27,8% antibiotics). DKI Jakarta (56,4%) is the highest province with respect to stored medicines. Some studies have found that 40-62% of antibiotics are not used properly. The inappropriate use of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance risk and can be life-threatening for people in every part of the world. To address this problem, this community service was conducted to provide information about selfmedication of influenza and cough illness and to improve people’s knowledge in the proper use of antibiotics. Lecturing was chosen as the method for explaining the rational use of antibiotics and participants were requested to fill out a questionnaire. This activity was attended by 34 participants (and 32 participants filled out the questionnaire). About 13 participants (40,6%) provided correct answers to questions on the proper use of antibiotics. Twenty six participants (81,25%) said they had previously used antibiotics, 14 of them (53,85%) admitted to purchasing antibiotics without a prescription. Antibiotics are taken to treat symptoms such as runny nose, cough, sore throat, fever, and other conditions. A total of 7 participants (26,92%) admitted taking antibiotics with dosage modification and 8 participants (30,77%) switched one type of antibiotics with another type of antibiotics. Based on the results, we concluded that people did not have sufficient knowledge about the rational use of antibiotics. We suggested that counseling about the proper use of antibiotics should be improved.

Abstract

Videos and movies can be categorized as one of mass media in conveying messages to society. One of the important processes in video or film making is the editing process.The community service reported in this paper aimed to provide a training on film and video editing for literacy activists at the Kali Atas Community House of Reading, Cicalengka. Based on the analysis of the conditions faced by the participants, it was decided that the community service program should not only focus on increasing people's reading interest, but should also include activities that support the creativity of the community. The specific target expected from the training was to increase the participants’ creativity demonstrated by their ability to create video content that can attract people's reading interest. The film and video editing training was implemented for 3 weeks, starting from surveys, interviews, activities, evaluations, to final report. As a result of this activity, literacy activists who belonged to the Kali Atas Community House of Reading, Cicalengka, showed that they were able to produce a video that contained useful information for literacy promotion activities and this video was later uploaded on social media such as YouTube, Facebook, and Iinstagram. We recommend that this activity be continued to support literacy activities in Cicalengka such as discussion on media literacy, mural painting as well as more advanced training on film/video editing.
