Abstract

Learning media plays a crucial role in supporting the educational process, especially in the 21st century, which demands technological innovation. Based on observations and interviews with teachers at SMAIT Al-Fityan, it was identified that while they have utilized digital media such as videos and PowerPoint presentations, they lack experience in creating or using augmented reality (AR)-based learning media. To address this gap, a training program was conducted to enhance teachers’ skills in integrating advanced technology into their teaching practices by creating AR-based flash cards. The training program included several stages: pre-test, training on AR-based flash card creation, hands-on practice with mentoring, and evaluation through post-test and response questionnaires. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in teachers’ abilities, with the average pre-test score of 20 increasing to 80 in the post-test. Furthermore, response questionnaires showed that 72.7% of participants rated the training material as easy to implement (good category). These findings indicate that the training successfully enhanced teachers’ competencies in creating technology-based learning media, which is expected to support innovative and interactive teaching aligned with 21st-century demands.

Abstract

Colorectal cancer is a malignancy that affects the tissues of the last part of the large intestine. There are several risk factors for colorectal cancer, including environmental factors, genetics, and the level of inflammation in the intestine. The aim of this community service activity is to enhance public awareness about colorectal cancer to minimize its impact. Conducted at the Muhammadiyah Health Care Center (MHCC) Clinic, this service employed lectures and discussions to educate the public on colorectal cancer prevention. The results indicate an increase in public knowledge regarding colorectal cancer, with a percentage of 27.5% falling into the "good" category before receiving educational intervention. Conversely, post-education, the percentage of individuals with good knowledge increased to 82.5%. This suggests a notable improvement in public knowledge following educational interventions for colorectal cancer.

Abstract

Preschoolers are highly susceptible to illnesses due to their underdeveloped immune systems. The lack of understanding among preschoolers regarding the importance of proper hygiene practices makes them vulnerable to diseases such as respiratory infections, diarrhea, typhoid, and others. This community outreach initiative aimed to enhance preschoolers' knowledge and handwashing skills to prevent the spread of various diseases. The project employed educational sessions and hands-on training in handwashing techniques at TKIT Lukmanul Hakim. The outcomes demonstrated significant improvements: before the intervention, 18 children (54%) had adequate knowledge and 5 children (15.2%) had insufficient knowledge; after the intervention, 100% of the children exhibited good knowledge. Regarding handwashing skills, 20 children (60.6%) had poor skills before the training, while this improved to 69.7% with good skills after the training.

Abstract

Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) often go undetected in their early stages due to a lack of evident symptoms or complaints. Among various NCDs, hypertension and diabetes mellitus are two of the most prevalent, closely linked to a range of health issues in older adults. To address this concern, this community service initiative aimed to conduct screening and provide education on NCDs as an initial step in early detection of health problems among the elderly. The implementation method involved health education and screenings, engaging midwives, village officials, and Aisyiyah health cadres. Screening results revealed that 71.43% of elderly individuals had hypertension, 34.39% were diagnosed with hyperglycemia, and 34.43% had blood sugar levels exceeding 200 mg/dl. Elderly individuals diagnosed with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, or at high risk for other NCDs were advised to seek further checkups and examinations at nearby healthcare facilities.

Abstract

Oral health is an integral part of overall well-being that demands attention from every individual. Poor oral hygiene can lead to various oral diseases, including dental caries. This community service program aimed to enhance students' understanding of oral health, encourage regular dental checkups, and promote preventive measures against oral diseases through the utilization of various digital tools, including an early detection screening application. Health education sessions were conducted, incorporating pre- and post-tests to evaluate learning outcomes. Additionally, clinical examinations were carried out to assess students' oral health status. The results were encouraging, counseling and education sessions significantly increased knowledge and awareness in over half the participants (55%). However, clinical examinations revealed that a substantial portion (36 students) had unhealthy oral hygiene, highlighting the need for continuous education and preventive strategies.
