Abstract

High cholesterol is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease often overlooked by the public. This community service aimed to increase public awareness among members of the Pusaka Aji Kalibayem Healthy Heart Club. By enhancing public knowledge about the importance of cholesterol checks, this initiative sought to prevent and early detect cardiovascular disease. The program encompassed health education, cholesterol screenings, and health consultations. A comprehensive cholesterol check program was conducted involving 35 members of the club. Results indicated a substantial increase in public awareness of cholesterol and its associated risks following participation. Before the program, only 25% of participants were aware of the need for regular cholesterol checks, which rose to 81% post-intervention. The comprehensive cholesterol check program at Pusaka Aji Kalibayem Healthy Heart Club effectively raised public awareness about cholesterol monitoring. Similar initiatives can be implemented in other communities to reduce cardiovascular disease risk through early detection and increased awareness.

Abstract

The lack of public knowledge regarding online medicine purchases for minor ailments is the main concern of this program. According to BPOM data in 2021, online medicine purchases increased by 480% during the Covid-19 pandemic, reflecting the growing public need for online access to medications. However, this surge comes with the risk of purchasing errors that could jeopardize health. To address this issue, a digital education program was conducted at Rusun Mawar Penjaringan to enhance public knowledge and awareness about safe and correct online medicine purchases. The program utilized interactive lectures and questionnaires. Participants underwent a pre-test to measure their initial understanding of online medicine purchases, followed by a post-test after the education session to evaluate knowledge improvement. Results showed a significant increase, with 70.5% of participants correctly answering post-test questions compared to their pre-test results. This program not only contributes to improving public digital health literacy but also serves as a preliminary step toward fostering awareness of safe and appropriate online medicine purchasing practices.

Abstract

In the era of globalization, proficient technical skills are essential, especially in the field of heavy equipment engineering which requires an understanding of hydraulic and pneumatic systems. SMKN 1 Sungai Limau faces the challenge of limited facilities in preparing students for the demands of this industry. This training program utilizes a Problem-Based Learning method for theory and Project-Based Learning for practical application. Before the training commenced, students underwent a pretest with an average score of 45, indicating a low initial understanding. Following the theoretical and hands-on practical sessions, the posttest results showed a significant improvement with an average score of 70, reflecting an increase in student comprehension and skills. This average increase of 25 points serves as concrete evidence that this training is effective in enhancing students' skills in hydraulic and pneumatic systems. However, improvements in facilities and collaboration with industry are needed to ensure the relevance and sustainability of this training.
