Abstract

Background: Most fish processing workers perform tasks in non-ergonomic positions, such as bending at an angle greater than 20° and turning their necks, with their legs bent at an angle greater than 60°. In addition, these fish-processing practices do not yet incorporate optimal waste management, thereby affecting workers’ health and contributing to environmental pollution. Objective: This activity aims to empower female workers in the coastal fish-processing industry by applying ergonomic principles and waste-management innovations. Method: The Participatory Rural Appraisal method was used in this activity, utilizing educational media in the form of modules and posters. This program runs for 8 months with 20 female workers. Four stages of activity were implemented: outreach and training, technology implementation, mentoring, and monitoring and evaluation. Pre-test and post-tests, as well as direct observations, were conducted to evaluate the achievement of the activity’s objectives. Results: This activity shows an increase in female workers’ knowledge, with scores rising from 56.2 on the pre-test to 84.5 on the post-test. Observations of the female workers’ skills also indicate that all were able to implement practices to prevent work related fatigue and manage waste. Conclusion: The community service carried out at UD LASKAR AMIS in Puger Kulon, Jember Regency, has enhanced female workers’ knowledge and skills in preventing occupational fatigue and managing waste generated during fish processing.

Abstract

Background: Caring for children with special needs requires a holistic approach. However, research on culturally suitable play interventions in developing countries remains scarce. YPAC Semarang faces challenges in stimulating motoric and social skills due to a high caregiver-to-child ratio. Objective: This program aimed to assist children through play therapy and creative health education while transforming nursing students' sympathy into empathy through direct experience. Method: Implemented September 26th, 2025, at YPAC Semarang, this study utilized a convergent mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative (pre-post structured observations) and qualitative (students’ reflective journals) data, analyzed separately and then brought together for overall interpretation, involving 50 students and 50 children (1:1 ratio). Activities included modified gymnastics, traditional song-guided hygiene lessons, and expressive handprint activities. Data were collected via structured observation sheets and students' reflective journals, then analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. This aligns with experiential learning philosophy, which utilizes direct experience as the foundation for learning through the cycle of concrete experience and reflective observation. Results: Children showed high engagement (85-100% attendance). Post-intervention, 75% of children mastered handwashing, and 70% demonstrated correct toothbrushing. Thematic analysis revealed four themes: transformation of sympathy to empathy (reported by 90%), discovery of patience, awareness of uniqueness, and professional commitment. Conclusion: This program successfully stimulated development in children and effectively fostered clinical empathy in nursing students.

Method: This implementation involves health screening, specifically for skin problems, by directly observing the skin conditions of female students who reported itching, skin spots, and skin discomfort. Methods screening is a two-stage method using (1) a self-administered questionnaire on skin conditions, and (2) physical examination. Results: Of 180 female high school students, 12.2% had skin problems. They revealed several skin problems: 15 female students had scabies, 5 had a fungal infection, 1 had chicken skin, and 1 had irritant contact dermatitis.

Objective: To increase mental health knowledge and stress management skills among farmer groups. Method: Using a participatory educational approach through lectures, discussions, and live simulations. This activity was conducted with 22 farmers in Karangpring Village, with stages starting with a pre-test, presentation of materials, demonstration of self-relaxation techniques, and ending with a post-test. Results: The activity demonstrated a significant increase in quantitative capacity, with the average score of farmers' stress management knowledge and skills increasing by 35.7% (from a pre-test score of 5.25 to 7.125 in the post-test). Participants were able to demonstrate the stress management techniques taught to reduce mental fatigue. This increase in knowledge was positively correlated with optimizing psychological well-being to maintain farmer work productivity.

Abstract

Background: Malnutrition, as well as suboptimal dietary patterns, are prevalent among community-dwelling older adults and strongly associated with lower functional capacity and quality of life. Community-based nutrition interventions are a strategic action to promote healthy ageing. Objective: To measure the impact of a community-based nutrition support program on quality of life and dietary patterns in older adults. Method: A pre–post intervention, conducted from June to December 2025 and involving 30 older adults, was guided by Yayasan Rumah Zakat Indonesia. The eight-week program involved nutritional screening using the MNA-SF, structured nutrition education, personalized dietary counseling, and assistance with healthy meals. All data were analyzed by a paired-T test or a Wilcoxon signed-rank test (α = 0.05). Results: There was a significant overall improvement in quality of life (p = 0.001). There were significant improvements also in dietary pattern scores (p < 0.001). Program evaluation showed high ratings for food quality, participant satisfaction, and perceived program impact. Conclusion: The intervention significantly enhanced multidimensional well-being and dietary behavior in community-dwelling older adults, underscoring the relevance of integrated nutrition support in promotive and preventive geriatric care; longer interventions and strengthened family involvement are recommended to sustain outcomes.
