Abstract

Pregnant women are vulnerable to various mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and excessive stress. These conditions are often exacerbated by a lack of social support and negative stigma, which discourage pregnant women from seeking help. If left unaddressed, mental health problems can negatively impact both maternal and fetal health, including increased risks of pregnancy complications and developmental disorders in the fetus. To address these challenges, a digital-based program was developed to provide social support and enhance the mental health of pregnant women. This community service initiative also included mental health education and relaxation training to help maintain psychological well-being among pregnant women. The evaluation results showed significant improvements across all assessed aspects. The total score increased from 5.5 in the pretest to 8.0 in the posttest. Knowledge of mental health increased from 5.5 to 8.0, strategies for maintaining mental health improved from 5.2 to 8.2, and understanding how to seek help rose from 5.3 to 8.1. Additionally, knowledge of relaxation techniques increased from 5.1 to 8.3, while the ability to apply these techniques independently improved from 4.9 to 8.0. These findings demonstrate that the digital-based program is effective in helping pregnant women address mental health challenges and improve their psychological well-being.

Abstract

Indonesia is an archipelagic country with ethnic and linguistic diversity. Through the Sumpah Pemuda (Youth Pledge), the Indonesian people agreed on Indonesian as a unified language to facilitate communication between people who have different local languages. However, in the current era of globalization, the existence of the Indonesian language is starting to be eroded. Many foreign languages are preferred in public spaces. Even though this is not in line with the mandate of the Indonesian constitution. Therefore, strengthening efforts are needed through the synergy of the younger generation in prioritizing the Indonesian language in public spaces through community service activities. This activity was carried out targeting the younger generation of 11th-grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Sungai Raya in Kubu Raya Regency as many as 30 people, through socio-political studies that focus on regulations and synergy. The forms of activity used in implementing this activity are in the form of giving a pre-test, giving material and face-to-face discussions accompanied by practice, and giving a post-test. The result of this activity is an increased understanding of the younger generation regarding the constitutional mandate of prioritizing the Indonesian language in public spaces through synergy between the younger generation and synergy between related actors such as the government, business sector, media, and academics.

Abstract

Wringinsongo Village, Tumpang Subdistrict, Malang Regency maintains a clean environment through environmentally friendly waste management. One of Wringinsongo's BUMDes (Village-Owned Enterprises) is the Waste Bank, which uses waste as a potential sector. It needs to get special attention related to its governance because the recording is still less effective and there are often calculation errors caused by the recording system using paper. Based on these conditions, it is necessary to develop an application to help record transaction activities at the Waste Bank. The Wringinsongo Village Waste Bank application can be accessed on both the web platform and Android mobile devices, based on the ease of access to the system by village managers and officials. After developing the application, socialization, and training were conducted to the Waste Bank manager and village officials to provide information on how to use the application. After three months of use, feedback was taken to get responses related to the use of the application. The result is that BUMDes managers find it easy to record and obtain accurate and faster calculation results.

Abstract

Indonesia currently holds the 5th position globally in reported bullying cases, showing a prevalence rate of 41.10%. The pervasive nature of bullying within the education sector affects nearly every school in the country. This service activity is designed to tackle this issue head-on by highlighting the crucial role of gender awareness values in preventing bullying. The strategy involves a comprehensive approach, incorporating socialization sessions and focus group discussions, primarily targeting high school students. The intervention commences with informative sessions covering essential aspects like gender concepts, bullying education, and the interconnectedness of gender equality and bullying behavior. Subsequently, interactive discussions are facilitated through focus group discussions. The resulting positive outcomes indicate an enhanced understanding among students regarding gender-related learning and its pivotal role in preventing bullying. The service output includes actionable solutions, such as advocating for education on gender awareness, eliminating the culture of silence, strengthening gender-based school programs, encouraging cross-sector collaboration, and establishing an effective digital complaint platform to address bullying more efficiently.

Abstract

Having good and correct financial reports using the Financial Accounting Standards for Micro, Small, and Medium Entities for MSMEs makes a benchmark for representing how the ongoing business performance is so that it can determine the future direction of the business smoothly The method used in this Community Service Activity (CSA) is Participatory Action Research (PAR). There are three main pillars of the PAR method, starting from the research methodology, the action dimension, and finally the participation dimension. The evaluation results of the implementation of activities for two days showed that the participants were very enthusiastic about making and preparing financial reports by utilizing the menu in the MSME Business Financial Records Application (Toko Ku). Participants can also utilize the report menu which consists of sales reports, expense reports, profit/loss reports, and general reports.

Abstract

The mosque is the Muslim community's place of worship and education. Regular worship occurs according to a timetable. However, educational activities require quite a long time, so the mosque management schedules learning activities periodically. In addition, mosque congregations have a very high diversity and density of activities, especially mosque congregations in urban areas. The management of urban mosques has difficulty organizing learning consistently because the congregation has difficulty meeting at the same time periodically. This paper offers a solution by teaching with a hybrid learning method between project learning and peer teaching. Projects are created based on the needs of the environment and the congregation. The project development team is formed from worshipers who can work on projects. Other congregants receive knowledge through the project development team when the project is in the process of being created and run. This hybrid learning was experimented with by creating an aquaponics project. Aquaponics is operated with solar electricity. The project development team consists of a congregation of children to parents. The project has successfully transferred knowledge to the project development team members. The project operation attracts non-team worshippers to discuss independently with team members. Some non-team members have developed fish farming independently.

Abstract

Optimal nutrition is very important for normal growth and the physical and intellectual development of children. One effort to maintain balanced nutrition is to use a "Fill My Plate" meal portion consisting of fifty percent fruit and vegetables, and the remaining fifty percent consisting of carbohydrates and protein. However, there are still very few mothers who understand how to balance the contents of my plate for the nutritional needs of toddlers. The impact is that the stunting rate in Indonesia is still high. One way to prevent stunting is by educating mothers about the contents of my plate and indicators of nutritional adequacy for toddlers. This community service aims to prevent stunting by increasing knowledge about balanced nutrition, what's on my plate, and variations in complementary foods for breast milk (MP ASI). The mechanism for implementing this activity consists of four activity steps, namely planning, implementation (providing material, questions and answers, pre and post-test questions), activity monitoring, and evaluation. The results of this socialization showed that there was an increase in parents' knowledge of balanced nutrition and variations of MP ASI in the good category with the pretest score which was previously at 51.56%, in the posttest it increased to 74.9% after the education was provided.

Abstract

Reproductive health problems, especially breast cancer and cervical cancer are the most common cancers diagnosed in women in Indonesia. Currently, several testing methods to detect breast and cervical cancer early, such as breast self-examination (BSE) and pap smears, have been used to reduce cancer risk factors. However, these two methods are still not widely used. Outreach activities have been proven to increase knowledge about the importance of BSE and pap smears in women. This community service program aims to increase knowledge about the causes and symptoms of breast and cervical cancer, as well as early detection using BSE and pap smears. This service activity plan consisted of preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages. The method used consists of delivering interactive material, discussion, and practice. This activity was attended by 38 participants, consisting of women from PKK cadres in the Andir area, Ciroyom District, the majority of whom were over 35 years old. Based on the results of the post-test, this community service activity was successful in increasing participants' knowledge, attitudes, and behavior towards breast and cervical cancer as well as the early detection methods of BSE and pap smears.

Abstract

Health reproduction knowledge is a crucial factor in preventing acts of early sexual behavior. Early sexual behavior is reflected in many ways, from attraction to different sexes to building a relationship and making physical contact. Adequate knowledge of sexuality in teenagers especially in health reproduction would prevent teenagers from acting in early sexual behavior. This activity aims to increase knowledge about the health of reproductive organs and the prevention of early sexual intercourse among Madrasah Aliyah students. The method used is education regarding the health of reproductive organs, pre-marital sexual psychology, and social jurisprudence approaches. All material is presented interestingly and interactively. This activity found that 63 percent of the participants had previous knowledge of this topic. More than 50 percent of respondents were students, and students had quite good knowledge about reproductive health. Madrasah Aliyah students already have sufficient knowledge about reproductive health, but it has not yet been seen whether it is enough to prevent students from premature sexual behavior. However, we do not have any data regarding the act of early sexual behavior among respondents or how knowledge in health reproduction would relate to the act of early sexual behavior.

Abstract

Limited subsidized fertilizer has caused the Tirtobakti II Farmers Group to provide organic fertilizer independently. Even though the process of making organic fertilizer using fermentation is well known, the process of making organic kasgot fertilizer is the choice of KT Tirtobakti II because it is more practical and efficient. KT Tirtobakti II's kasgot production process is constrained by limited maggot production resources and limited maggot production facilities. Empowerment activities at KT Tirtobakti II aim to develop the capabilities of KT Tirtobakti II members in increasing kasgot production capacity by providing maggot feed and production facilities. Activities are carried out through a series of activities in the form of education, practice, mentoring, and evaluation. The positive impact of empowerment activities can be seen in the increasing ability of KT Tirtobakti II members to calculate the need for maggot feed ingredients according to kasgot production targets, the existence of partnership cooperation between KT Tirtobakti II and fruit and vegetable traders in traditional markets to meet maggot feed needs, and increasing production capacity by using maggot house facilities.
