Abstract

Cultural understanding between 2 countries will be able to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood between 2 related countries, Indonesia and Malaysia. This community service aims to increase the role of the community in cultural understanding between 2 related countries. This International Community Service Lecture (KPM) was held for 14 days in four villages in Negeri Kedah, Malaysia: Taman Permatang Katong, Keda Tepi Sungai Village, Kampung Kuala Dulang Kecil, and Taman Permai Utama. With several activities carried out including; psychoeducation for the elderly, teenagers and children, mutual cooperation and joint activities between KPM International participants and communities in 4 villages. The main findings identified the role of the community in cultural understanding, there are three key elements, namely: (1) preservation and application of local traditions in welcoming newcomers, (2) active involvement of community leaders in facilitating integration, and (3) consistent culture of hospitality. Consistency in honoring guests, including the welcoming tradition to leaving, has a significant impact on the positive experiences of participants and the effectiveness of the program. Challenges such as language and cultural differences can be overcome through creativity and openness. This community service concludes that the strength of the community and local wisdom, especially in the tradition of honoring guests, is key in creating a sense of togetherness and facilitating effective integration in understanding the cultures of the people of the 2 countries. These findings provide important insights for designing future community service programs, highlighting the importance of collaboration with local communities and utilizing traditions in facing integration challenges in the era of globalization.Pemahaman budaya antar 2 negara akan mampu mengeratkan tali persaudaraan antara 2 negara serumpun Indonesia dan Malaysia.

Abstract

Sensory processing difficulties in early childhood have become a prominent concern for both educators and parents due to their potential to impact multiple areas of child development. Children who present with sensory challenges often experience delays in cognitive, emotional, and motor domains. One significant protective factor in addressing such issues is sufficient parental knowledge regarding sensory processing and the application of appropriate stimulation strategies. This community engagement program was designed to enhance parents’ understanding of sensory processing, common sensory issues in young children, and effective approaches to support their development. The initiative targeted 63 parents of children aged 2 to 6 years and utilized a direct psychoeducational method delivered by a licensed psychologist. Feedback from participants indicated that the psychoeducational content was well-received and deemed valuable. Additionally, the intervention proved effective in improving parents’ knowledge and awareness of sensory processing issues in early childhood. Considering the critical role sensory processing plays in early learning and development, it is recommended that similar psychoeducational initiatives be replicated on a broader scale to reach a larger population of parents and caregivers.Permasalahan mengenai sensori pada anak usia dini menjadi salah satu fokus perhatian baik guru maupun orangtua. Anak-anak usia dini yang menunjukkan permasalahan sensori cenderung mengalami hambatan dalam aspek perkembangan lainnya. Salah satu faktor protektif isu sensori pada anak adalah pengetahuan yang memadai dari orangtua mengenai permasalahan sensori dan langkah stimulasi yang tepat. Pengabdian dilaksanakan dengan tujuan memberikan pengetahuan pada orangtua mengenai pemrosesan sensori pada anak, permasalahan sensori yang dapat muncul, dan cara yang tepat untuk mengoptimalkan pemrosesan sensori anak. Pengabdian dilaksanakan kepada 63 orangtua dengan anak usia 2-6 tahun. Bentuk pengabdian yang dilakukan adalah psikoedukasi bersama dengan psikolog dengan metode psikoedukasi langsung tanpa pelatihan. Hasil pengabdian menunjukkan bahwa materi yang diberikan dinilai baik dan bermanfaat untuk orangtua. Selain itu, psikoedukasi yang dilakukan efektif untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan orangtua mengenai isu sensori pada anak usia dini. Kegiatan serupa disarankan untuk direplikasi kepada lebih banyak orangtua mengingat pentingnya pemrosesan sensori sebagai landasan belajar pada anak usia dini.

Abstract

Student organizations require effective problem-solving skills to navigate challenges and achieve their goals. This community service activity was conducted in response to identified issues within the Himpunan Mahasiswa Program Studi Komunikasi dan Penyiaran Islam (HMPS KPI) at UIN Sultan Aji Muhammad Idris Samarinda, including unclear task divisions and misaligned work programs. Adopting an experiential learning approach, 16 members attended the training, which centered on using a fishbone analysis diagram to deconstruct organizational problems. The program's effectiveness was assessed using two levels of the Kirkpatrick evaluation model. Level 1 (reaction) was measured via a satisfaction questionnaire, and Level 2 (cognitive) was measured using a pre-test and post-test design analyzed with a paired sample t-test. The results indicated a highly positive reaction from participants, with 100% rating the training material and benefits as excellent. The cognitive evaluation showed an 8% increase in participants' understanding, with the mean score improving from 58.25 (pre-test) to 66.25 (post-test). Although this increase was not statistically significant (p > 0.05), qualitative feedback confirmed that the training positively impacted the organization by fostering increased participation and enhancing members’ problem-solving abilities. The training successfully provided practical skills, leading to improved organizational dynamics and performance.

Abstract

Miscommunication and a lack of transparency within the university student organization hindered coordination and fuelled internal conflicts. This project aimed to strengthen coordination and reduce conflict by enhancing the interpersonal communication competence of the organization members. After conducting a training needs analysis through questionnaires and interviews, psychology students partnered with HIMAHI to deliver a single session “More Than Just Words” workshop. Twelve student leaders attended four hours of interactive activities—including lecture‐style presentations, Q&A, ice breakers, and focus group discussions—embedded in the Industrial and Organizational Psychology practicum. Participants completed pre- and post-intervention assessments using the Interpersonal Communication Competence Questionnaire, and rated trainer performance via a structured satisfaction survey. Average declarative knowledge scores increased from 75.0% to 81.5%, reflecting an 8.7% gain. In the reaction survey, 75% of participants rated lecture clarity as “very good,” while 67% rated trainer mastery, engagement, and interactivity as “very good.” These outcomes demonstrate measurable improvements in communication knowledge and high participant satisfaction.

Abstract

Cases of sexual violence against children in Garut Regency are increasing year by year, indicating that more victims are daring to report despite facing psychological challenges and social stigma. This study aims to explore the psychological protection and intervention model applied in the investigation process at the Garut District Attorney's Office, with a focus on the Women, Children, and Disability Justice Post. The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative approach with document analysis and media reporting. The results of the study show that the Justice Post has an important role in providing psychological support and access to justice for victims, by creating a safe space for victims to express individual experiences. However, there are still challenges related to the social stigma and fear to report faced by victims. The implications of this study show the importance of inter-institutional collaboration in providing holistic protection for victims of sexual violence, by paying attention to psychological, medical, and legal aspects in the victim recovery process.

Abstract

The increasingly fierce market competition, especially in the batik industry, requires MSMEs to have a strong differentiation strategy and product branding. The goal is to maintain and improve the competitiveness of the product in the market. Unfortunately, Zahro Batik MSMEs still face obstacles, where digital promotion efforts still tend to be simple, use social media captions that are less informative, have minimal appeal, and are not optimal in reaching potential consumers. This condition is caused by the limitation of copywriting skills which are the key to digital marketing. The purpose of this service activity is to improve the understanding and skills of business actors in optimizing marketing communication strategies through the preparation of effective and attractive promotional messages. The method used is socialization and copywriting training. This activity was attended by 15 participants who are employees of Batik Zahro MSMEs and local residents as an expansion of partners. Evaluation was carried out through individual assignments in the form of writing product promotional captions, which were assessed based on the suitability of the content, language appeal, and creativity of the message. The results achieved showed an increase in participants' soft skills and understanding, where all participants were able to compile promotional captions in a structured manner using the copywriting techniques that had been taught. This increase is expected to strengthen the brand image and product attractiveness, as well as encourage the readiness of Zahro Batik MSMEs to compete and develop in the creative industry.

Abstract

Limited institutional capacity is the main obstacle for urban farming groups in Sungai Andai Village, North Banjarmasin. Unorganized organizational structures and unclear division of roles lead to weak coordination and decision-making. The purpose of this service activity is to strengthen the institutional capacity and management of the group through the arrangement of organizational structures, division of roles, and strengthening the network of external partnerships. The program was carried out for six months with participatory methods in the form of group discussions, focus group discussions (FGDs), workshops, training, and mentoring. The activity partner is the Puma III Wine Village Group which consists of 14 members. Evaluations are carried out periodically at the end of each month using observations, interviews, and online questionnaires. The results showed an increase in member participation from 70% to 92%, an increase in material understanding from 65% to 91%, and an increase in institutional capacity from 60% to 90%. In addition, the group succeeded in compiling a functional organizational structure, an annual work plan, and guidelines for biodiversity-based urban farming businesses. This activity proves that institutional strengthening accompanied by sustainable partnerships is able to strengthen the role of urban farming groups in realizing competitive and sustainable urban agriculture.
