Abstract

Early childhood producing future human resources, is a group that is susceptible to a variety of health issues and nutritional disorders. It is important to pay attention to the fulfillment of excellent nutrition and to optimize every stage of its growth. According to estimates, 10% of the children in the Amanah Kahmi playgroup are malnourished due to nutritional abnormalities, and many parents lack awareness of the importance of feeding children a healthy diet. It could impact the risk of infectious disease and growth issues. This activity aims to inform parents about the monitoring of a child's nutritional condition and the preparation of nourishing foods for young children. The activity began with education on assessing children's nutritional status and putting it into practice by measuring the height and weight of 35 school students and then applying it using the WHO child nutrition monitoring chart. The results showed that 19 children with normal weight categories consisting of 5 boys and 14 girls; 8 children with poor nutritional status consisting of 7 boys and 1 girl; and 8 children close to the normal nutritional limit, consisting of 2 girls and 6 boys. The activity was followed by educating parents regarding balanced nutrition for children through the video presentation and preparation of nutritious food for children. This activity is expected to increase knowledge and assist parents in monitoring the growth and development of children and providing nutritious food for children to prevent nutritional disorders in early childhood.

Abstract

Anemia poses a significant risk for women of reproductive age and pregnant women, impacting both their health and the quality of future generations. This condition can adversely affect the growth and development of the fetus, leading to potential complications during pregnancy and childbirth. In severe cases, it may even result in maternal and newborn mortality. The purpose of this community service activity was to enhance the knowledge of women of reproductive age and pregnant women through nutritional counseling and demonstrations on making "sukahitu" cookies, which serve as an alternative for increasing blood hemoglobin levels. “Sukahitu” cookies, made from katuk (Sauropus androgynus) leaf flour and mung bean flour, were provided daily for 30 days to 35 women of reproductive age and pregnant women in Belawan II Village, Medan Belawan District. Knowledge regarding intake, anemia, and hemoglobin was measured before (pretest) and after the intervention (posttest). The results of the activity indicate that the average pretest score is 77.1%, and the posttest score is 91.4%. There is an average increase of 14.28% in knowledge about anemia. It is recommended to regularly conduct nutrition and anemia counseling for women of reproductive age and pregnant women, along with providing hemoglobin-rich foods like “sukahitu” cookies to effectively prevent anemia.

Abstract

The increase in agricultural yields of food crops and horticulture in Langsat Permai Village, Bungaraya District was initiated by the construction of canal blocking in the activities of the Partner Village Service Program by DIKTI in the 2017-2019 implementation year which will continue until 2023. However, the harvest index (HI) of rice has not reached 300 due to the transplanting system, so that it takes quite a long time from the transplanting period to finally harvesting and replanting. Therefore, the rice cultivation system with the direct seed planting system can be a solution that can help farmers increase the harvest index (HI) and rice crop production. The activity partners who were the targets of the activity were farmers and members of the Langsat Permai Village youth group. Assistance is carried out by providing knowledge about rice cultivation using the direct seed planting system starting from the understanding of the direct seed planting system, its tool, the advantages and disadvantages of rice cultivation using the direct seed planting system, as well as the stages of the direct seed planting system cultivation from land preparation, seed preparation, planting to fertilization. Based on the results of the mentoring carried out, the knowledge of farmers and youth groups in Langsat Permai Village about rice cultivation using the direct seed planting system has increased compared to before the mentoring activities were carried out.
