Abstract

Introduction: Stunting is a chronic condition characterized by impaired linear growth, cognitive deficits and long‑term economic consequences. South Sumatra reports one of the highest stunting burdens in Indonesia. This activity aimed to improve participants’ knowledge of stunting prevention and to monitor changes after educational and supplementary feeding activities. Methods: This community service was conducted during the 63rd Student Study Service (Kuliah Kerja Nyata/KKN) of Universitas Muhammadiyah Palembang in July 2025 in four villages of Payaraman District, Ogan Ilir Regency, South Sumatra. Pregnant women and mothers of infants and toddlers were recruited via local health posts and community leaders. Activities included didactic sessions explaining the definition, causes and prevention of stunting; distribution of high‑protein mung bean porridge fortified with moringa leaf; vitamin A supplementation; and pre‑ and post‑intervention questionnaires to assess knowledge. Results: A total of 98 participants attended the programme. Pre‑ and post‑tests were conducted in Payaraman Timur and Payaraman Barat. In Payaraman Timur, correct responses increased from 8 of 16 (50 %) at baseline to 13 of 16 (81.25 %) after the intervention, representing a 31.25 % improvement in knowledge. In Payaraman Barat, the post‑test showed that 24 of 29 participants (82.8 %) answered correctly. Qualitative feedback indicated that participants better understood the importance of adequate nutrition during the first thousand days of life and the role of hygiene and infection prevention in reducing stunting. Conclusion: The community education and supplementary feeding programme enhanced participants’ understanding of stunting prevention, as reflected by the marked increase in correct responses in Payaraman Timur. Future programmes should include pre‑ and post‑tests in all locations and monitor long‑term anthropometric outcomes to assess the impact on child growth.

Abstract

Introduction: Medicinal plants as an alternative herbal medicine source with many health benefits. However, the Tunjang Utara hamlet community's knowledge and skills in processing family medicinal plants as traditional medicine are still lacking. This study aims to conduct family-based socialization and to evaluate its effectiveness in improving community knowledge of the utilization of family medicinal plants for health maintenance. Methods: Current community services include three initial stages, which are pre-activities (observation and preparation); main activities (socialization by door-to-door method and herbal medicine plantation); and program evaluation. The target population was the community in Paokmotong village, with 47 participants as the sample. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk test, and a paired sample t-test to evaluate the effectiveness of the socialization program. The community in Tunjang Utara Hamlet is expected to actively utilize traditional medicinal plants and share this knowledge with other communities after the program. Results: At the observation stages, we found that Tunjang Utara’s communities did not know the benefit of family medicinal plants other than as additional cooking ingredients. The socialization was successfully carried out to give the information about the benefits of family medicinal plants. The results showed a significant increase in participants’ knowledge after the socialization program, with the mean score rising from 55.32 ± 8.14 (pretest) to 80.47 ± 7.26 (posttest), indicating a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001). Moreover, 10 medicinal plants were successfully planted at the Pokmotong village office. Conclusion: The socialization program effectively improved community knowledge of the use of family medicinal plants, as indicated by a significant increase in posttest scores relative to pretest scores. However, we suggest that the Paokmotong village government create a follow-up program to socialize the use of family medicinal plants in other hamlets in a sustainable manner.

Abstract

Introduction: Maternal and infant mortality in Indonesia remain high, largely due to anemia in pregnancy, which increases the risk of childhood stunting. Ensuring balanced nutrition and optimal antenatal care (ANC) is essential for prevention. This study aimed to enhance pregnant women’s nutritional knowledge and ANC compliance through education and monitoring. Methods: A community-based intervention was conducted through training, mentoring, and monitoring activities involving primary health care staff and pregnant women. Key indicators included hemoglobin (Hb) status, iron–folic acid (IFA) supplementation adherence, and compliance with trimester-based ANC visits. Data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative methods and comparative proportion analysis across pregnancy trimesters. Results: Among 19 pregnant women who underwent Hb testing, 73.7% had normal Hb levels, while 26.3% were anemic. IFA adherence reached 100% in the first and second trimesters but declined sharply to 28.5% in the third trimester. Similarly, full-standard ANC coverage was achieved in the first trimester and decreased progressively in later trimesters. These proportional differences highlight critical gaps in late-pregnancy care despite early intervention. Conclusion: Structured nutrition education and ANC monitoring improved knowledge, supplementation adherence, and pregnancy care quality. Early intervention may reduce anemia prevalence and stunting risk. KEYWORDS antenatal care; anemia; nutrition education; pregnant women; stunting

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is a major public health problem and often called a “silent killer” because it can cause serious complications without early symptoms. Community knowledge about prevention and management remains limited, especially in urban areas. This activity aimed to increase public knowledge about hypertension and to introduce the use of celery leaves (Apium graveolens L.) as a complementary herbal therapy. Methods: The community service activity was carried out in Kampung Ketupat, involving 20 residents. The program included lectures, distribution of educational leaflets, and demonstration of celery juice preparation. Knowledge improvement was assessed through discussions and active participation during the session. Results: Participants showed increased understanding of hypertension and expressed strong enthusiasm in learning about herbal management. The demonstration of celery juice preparation was well received, and participants reported confidence to replicate the practice at home. Conclusion: Health education on herbal management successfully improved public knowledge and self-efficacy of hypertension prevention and control. Celery juice was accepted as an easily applicable complementary method in daily life. KEYWORDS education; herbal; hypertension; prevention
