Abstract

Improving the quality of life for the elderly is essential for fostering a healthier, more prosperous society in Indonesia. In Aan Village, Banjarangkan Sub-district, Klungkung Regency, this goal is pursued through health check-ups, educational sessions by experts, and tailored exercises for the elderly. The program aims to enhance the physical and mental well-being of elderly residents via targeted educational and health initiatives. The program's objectives include: 1) Providing Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) on physical and mental health to improve Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP); 2) Educating the elderly on age-appropriate physical exercises to boost health; and 3) Conducting health check-ups to guide subsequent health interventions. These check-ups, performed by trained medical students, assess blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels. Following these evaluations, doctors offer tailored advice and physical activities designed to promote health. Results indicate significant improvements in awareness and participation among the elderly, with increased engagement in physical activities and proactive health measures. Common health issues identified include high blood pressure, sugar, and cholesterol levels, with referrals made for further treatment. Challenges include unstable health conditions, difficult access, and scheduling conflicts with traditional events. Recommendations for future programs include enhancing accessibility, offering flexible schedules, and improving facilities. Despite obstacles, the initiative positively impacts elderly well-being and serves as a model for replication in other villages, contributing to the sustained welfare of Indonesia’s aging population.

Abstract

Traditional games are increasingly displaced by gadget‑based play, reducing children’s physical activity and opportunities for character formation in many communities. The objective of this program was to establish a community‑based “Kampung Dolanan” in Jajar Village and to evaluate changes in parents’ understanding of the role of traditional and movement games in child growth and character. The methods used were a six‑month community‑engagement intervention that designed and installed traditional game stations (e.g., congklak, stilts, sack race) and movement stations (suspension bridge, tire tower, rope climbing, miniature rock climbing), complemented by outreach, socialization, and a fun competition; a brief five‑item pre–post questionnaire was administered to attending parents/guardians. The results showed that parents recognizing the link between traditional games and child development increased from 40% to 90%, awareness of character‑building roles rose from 30% to 95%, the perception that traditional games are dangerous decreased from 70% to 10%, the preference to keep children at home with gadgets declined from 75% to 10%, and awareness that traditional games stimulate growth and development rose from 25% to 90%. In conclusion, the program improved parental understanding and strengthened community buy‑in for traditional and movement games, indicating that coupling safe, culturally resonant play facilities with targeted outreach can support children’s growth and character while future work measures behavioral outcomes and sustains facilities through village policies and partnerships.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health issue in Indonesia, with a prevalence of 37% in 2013 and 30.8% in 2018, affecting approximately 8.4 million children under five. This condition is not limited to children from poor families but also affects those from well-off households. The causes of stunting are multidimensional, involving not only nutritional deficiencies in pregnant women and toddlers but also high-risk behaviors related to parenting and health practices. This community service program aimed to enhance the capacity of posyandu (integrated health post) cadres in stunting prevention through a behavior change approach. The methods applied included counseling, training, and mentoring for cadres in Mulyoagung Village, Dau Sub-district, Malang District. The outcomes demonstrated a significant improvement in the cadres’ understanding of stunting, its causes, and impacts. Participants also gained insights into the importance of behavior change education in preventing stunting. Feedback indicated increased mastery of practical prevention strategies, and cadres were able to apply and disseminate the training materials in their community in an integrated and sustainable manner. In conclusion, training and mentoring based on behavior change effectively empowered posyandu cadres in stunting prevention efforts.

Abstract

Elderly people with hypertension are at risk of experiencing severe cardiovascular complications. Self-management education efforts are important to increase patient independence to prevent the severity of hypertension. The purpose of this community service (PKM) is to optimize the health of the elderly and menopausal women through self-management health education as an effort to treat hypertension in Talang Jambe Village, Palembang. This PKM program began with the consolidation of the Health Office and Talang Jambe Health Center to identify participants. There were 41 elderly and menopausal participants who participated in this PKM. At the implementation stage, blood pressure, knowledge and behavior were checked. The intervention was given in four sessions with a duration of 60 minutes. The evaluation included blood pressure conditions and knowledge, and behavior of participants. A total of 39 participants completed this program. Two participants did not complete it because their health conditions did not allow it. Data analysis used frequency distribution and the Paired T test and Wilcoxon test.  The results of the PKM showed a significant increase in the mean knowledge score, from 56.67 ± 6.7 to 86.08 ± 7.63 (p = 0.000), and the mean value for behavior score, from 53.9 ± 6.03 to 85.31 ± 9.24 (p = 0.000). The majority of participants initially reported low levels of activity in terms of exercise frequency, but after the intervention, there was a marked increase, with more respondents exercising three to five times a week. Furthermore, diastolic blood pressure decreased from 108.28 ± 9.8 mmHg to 99.77 ± 10.39 mmHg (p = 0.000), and systolic blood pressure decreased from 197.72 ± 15.16 mmHg to 172.64 ± 10.46 mmHg (p = 0.000). The PKM program has been shown to be effective in improving knowledge, behavior, and blood pressure control in preventing hypertension complications.

Abstract

Integrating technology into physics education is critical in preparing students with 21st-century skills. However, many physics teachers in Indonesia face challenges, including limited access to technological tools, insufficient training, and low confidence in using technology. This study aimed to explore the perspectives of physics teachers on a workshop designed to empower them in developing technology-based teaching materials. The workshop, held in Bandung Barat, provided hands-on training on integrating various technologies, such as Augmented Reality, Physics Mobile, Live Worksheets, and Articulate Storylines, into physics teaching. Data were collected from 51 participating teachers using a descriptive survey method through structured questionnaires. Results indicated high satisfaction across four evaluated aspects: material comprehension (mean score: 4.29), relevance and benefits (4.15), implementation and facilitation (4.17), and outcomes and impacts (4.20). Teachers perceived an increase in their confidence and readiness tp create innovative teaching materials, though some required additional time and support for mastery. This study highlights workshops' significance in bridging the gap between technology and education. It emphasizes the need for sustained training programs and collaboration among educators, policymakers, and technology developers to enhance the quality of STEM-based physics education in Indonesia.
