Abstract

The breastfeeding rate in Indonesia is 15.3%. Exclusive breastfeeding coverage in Central Sulawesi in 2021 was 53.5% and in Poso Regency was 51.1%. Exclusive breastfeeding coverage in Pinedapa Village, Poso Coastal District in 2022 was 57%. One of the causes of low breastfeeding rates in Indonesia is the lack of knowledge among pregnant women, families, and the community about the importance of breastfeeding. The most common problem experienced by breastfeeding mothers is sore nipples. This condition usually occurs due to incorrect baby positioning during breastfeeding or incorrect breastfeeding techniques. The purpose of this activity was to improve the knowledge and skills of pregnant women and health cadres on the correct breastfeeding techniques to meet the nutritional needs of infants and thus prevent stunting. The methods used in this community service activity were lectures, discussions, and demonstrations. The results obtained from this activity were that the knowledge of pregnant women and posyandu cadres after the counseling increased to good (100%). The skills of pregnant women and cadres after the training increased from unskilled (0%) to skilled (100%).

Abstract

Stunting is a condition in infants and young children where height or length is significantly below what is considered normal for their age. Stunting in early childhood can lead to difficulties in achieving physical and cognitive development in the future. Exclusive breastfeeding is one of the effective strategies to reduce the prevalence of stunting. This community service activity aimed to enhance the knowledge and skills of 30 posyandu cadres on exclusive breastfeeding. The results showed an improvement in the cadres' understanding of the material delivered, with the average knowledge score increasing from 59.16 before the training to 75.5 afterward. Similarly, the average skill score also increased from 38.66 before the practice to 69.1 after the practice session.

Abstract

The diverse literacy activities are one of the attractions for visitors to a community reading park. The lack of variety of activities at the Smart Friends Community Reading Park (CRP) is one of the reasons why this CRP is no longer visited by children in the surrounding area. Therefore, this community service activity aims to build multiliteracy of children around the CRP by holding flip read-aloud and bookish play activities. The method used in this activity is the direct learning method. This program has succeeded in reviving the reading park which can actually provide many benefits for children in building multiliteracy. In it, children learn to listen, retell, make decisions, train creativity and imagination.

Abstract

A state of despair and helplessness often occurs in critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit, impacting their psychological and spiritual well-being, especially in patients with decreased consciousness and those who are intubated. Several studies have highlighted the lack of knowledge among nurses in providing spiritual care to critically ill, intubated, and incapacitated patients. Nurses have reported difficulties in implementing spiritual care nursing and a lack of available information. The aim of this community service activity was to provide nurses with an understanding of spiritual care in nursing care for critically ill patients in order to optimize their knowledge, role, and abilities in caring for these patients. The community service activity was conducted using mentoring, discussion, question-and-answer sessions, and demonstrations facilitated by both the facilitators and participants, followed by monitoring and evaluation after the activity. The results of the community service activity showed a 33% increase in nurses' knowledge (from 62% to 95%) about meeting the spiritual needs of critically ill patients.

Abstract

A prevalent experience among pregnant women is discomfort. Acupressure, a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), seeks to harmonize the body's energy flow through meridian points postulated to be interconnected with internal organs. This community outreach initiative sought to augment the capabilities of pregnant women and caregivers of infants/toddlers in self-acupressure and neonatal/infant acupressure within Lantojaya Village, Poso Pesisir District, Poso Regency. The methodology encompassed lectures, interactive question-and-answer sessions, discussions, and practical demonstrations. The outcomes revealed a discernible shift in participants' knowledge concerning acupressure principles and their proficiency in applying acupressure to specific part of body.
