Abstract

Background: Stunting is a form of chronic malnutrition that affects growth and development during early life. Stunting remains a government priority, with a target to reduce its prevalence to 14%, yet it continues to rank high in the Lamper Tengah Sub-district. This situation is attributed to the lack of family knowledge regarding the risks and long-term impacts of stunting. Therefore, this program aimed to implement stunting risk screening and a booklet-based intervention entitled “Control of Stunting Risk Factors” within the Stunting Community in Lamper Tengah Sub-district, Semarang City. Methods: This community service activity was carried out in Lamper Tengah Village, targeting 10 families with stunted children. The activity methods included preparation, anthropometric measurements, filling out questionnaires on stunting risk factors, and distributing and presenting the booklet “Stunting Risk Factors.” The evaluation stage was carried out by assessing the mothers' level of knowledge about stunting before and after the intervention. Results: Among stunted toddlers, 60% are female, 60% do not receive exclusive breastfeeding, and only 20% practice responsive feeding. After the intervention, the proportion of families with good knowledge levels increased from 80% before the activity to 100% after the activity. Conclusion: The results of the activities show that this community service program is able to increase mothers' knowledge about the risk factors for stunting. Therefore, similar activities need to be continued and expanded to include more participants, accompanied by in-depth counseling and practical guidance on active feeding practices before pregnancy, during pregnancy, and after childbirth to support efforts to reduce stunting rates in Semarang City.

Abstract

Background: Preconception services play an important role in preventing pregnancy risks and improving the health of the mother and baby. However, its utilization in rural communities is still low, including the involvement of male couples. Posyandu cadres have the potential to become drivers of preconception screening if they are equipped with gender-responsive training. Quantitative evidence of improving cadre skills through training at the village level is still limited. The purpose of this community service is to improve the ability of posyandu cadres in preconception screening services. Methods: This community service was carried out in Cikadu Village, Kuningan Regency, in August 2025 with a target of 35 Posyandu cadres. Training activities were carried out for one day, including pre-test, delivery of materials (basic concepts of preconception health, preconception risk factors, gender concepts in preconception services, effective communication, and gender-based counseling and preconception screening services), and simulation of preconception screening practices using preconception and post-test screening checklists. The media used during the training are training modules, pocket books, and leaflets. Results: The average (±SD) preconception screening skill score increased from 105.29±23.93 (pretest) to 120.69±30.60 (posttest), indicating an improvement in practical competence after training. Conclusion: Posyandu cadre training is effective in improving gender-based preconception screening skills. It is hoped that preconception services can be integrated into the regular posyandu program with the support of the health center and the husband's involvement strategy

Abstract

Background: Mountain climbers are at risk of altitude-related medical problems such as hypothermia, acute mountain sickness (AMS), and traumatic injuries. Adequate knowledge and attitudes are essential to improve preparedness among outdoor enthusiast communities. This community service activity aimed to improve mountaineers’ knowledge and attitudes regarding the prevention, early recognition, and basic management of mountain-related health emergencies through a structured health education program in Malang City. Methods: This community service activity was conducted on August 30, 2025, in Malang City in collaboration with the Tiket Pendakian community. A total of 45 participants took part in health education sessions, interactive discussions, and field simulations on mountain-related health risks and emergency preparedness. Evaluation was carried out through pre- and post-activity assessments of participants’ knowledge and attitudes, as well as feedback on the implementation and benefits of the program. Results: The mean knowledge score significantly increased from 81.9 to 91.6 (+9.6 points; p=0.001; Cohen’s d=0.52), indicating a moderate effect size. The mean attitude score was 34.2 (SD ±3.0) out of a maximum of 40, reflecting a generally positive attitude towards prevention and first aid in outdoor settings. Conclusion: The integrated educational program effectively improved participants’ knowledge of altitude-related hazards and reinforced positive attitudes towards preparedness. Similar interventions could be replicated in other outdoor enthusiast communities to strengthen resilience and self-reliance among climbers.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia is among the world’s most disaster-prone countries, where early childhood education (ECE) institutions remain vulnerable due to limited preparedness and infrastructure. Teachers often lack confidence and structured procedures for emergency situations. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the GEMA TANGGUH (Movement for Mitigation and Education to Improve Disaster Response) model in enhancing the holistic resilience—cognitive, affective, and psychomotor—of ECE teachers. Methods: This university-based community service program employed a one-group pre–post test design. Eleven teachers and staff, along with 91 students from Aisyiyah Banyudono Playgroup, Boyolali, participated. The intervention consisted of interdisciplinary training on disaster mitigation, installation of IoT-based EWS, and structured evacuation simulations. The evaluation stage was conducted by collecting data through pre–post questionnaires and structured observations, which were then analyzed descriptively to determine mean score improvements and percentage changes across three evaluated domains. Results: The GEMA TANGGUH model produced substantial improvements across all domains. Teachers’ knowledge increased from an average score of 47.5 (pre) to 70.0 (post), a relative gain of 47.4%. Teachers reporting “very confident” rose from 10% to 50%. Psychomotor performance reached 100% accuracy, and student compliance achieved 98.89% (90 out of 91 students), indicating effective knowledge transfer. Conclusion: The GEMA TANGGUH model effectively strengthens comprehensive disaster preparedness among ECE teachers. Uniquely integrating IoT-based Early Warning Systems and Psychological First Aid (PFA)-oriented simulations, the model provides an evidence-based and scalable framework for building holistic resilience, supporting the advancement of disaster-resilient educational institutions in disaster-prone areas.

Abstract

Background: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into academic environments has been on the rise to enhance research productivity and improve the quality of academic writing. Despite the growing interest in this area, empirical evidence on the measurable impact of AI-based training on academic writing skills remains limited. The aim of this community service activity was to enhance the participants' academic writing skills through a structured AI-assisted training program. Methods:  This community service program was conducted over a three-day period in May 2025 at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Universitas Brawijaya, Indonesia. A total of 30 university students volunteered to participate in this study. The community service program comprised five stages: preparation, socialization, training implementation, and evaluation. The training methods included socialization, counseling, workshops, and hands-on practicums focusing on AI-based academic writing. The evaluation was executed employing a pretest–posttest design, in which a writing rubric was used to assess the participants’ academic writing skills. Results: The analysis indicated a significant improvement in writing performance following the AI-based training. The mean pretest score was recorded at 65.3 (SD = 7.5), while the posttest mean reached 81.2 (SD = 6.8). The paired-sample t-test highlighted a statistically significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores (t = 8.24, df = 29, p < 0.001). Conclusion: The AI-based academic writing training implemented through this community service program effectively enhanced the participants’ writing skills. This program demonstrates that AI-assisted training can be an effective model for strengthening academic writing competence in community service initiatives.

Abstract

Background: The ageing population in Indonesia necessitates proactive interventions to maintain the quality of life among older adults, particularly in terms of social interaction, which often declines due to isolation, stigma, and mobility limitations. This community engagement initiative aimed to enhance the understanding and participation of older adults in social interaction through a community-based educational program entitled “I am an Active and Happy Older Adult”.  Methods: The intervention was conducted in Bolon Village on Saturday, September 13, 2025. The activity was carried out in three stages, namely (1) preparation, which included coordination with village officials, needs analysis, and the preparation of materials and leaflets; (2) implementation in the form of face-to-face health counseling using leaflets and interactive discussions; and (3) evaluation using the pre-post counseling method. The evaluation was conducted by administering a structured questionnaire containing ten closed-ended questions before and after counseling to 41 respondents (35 elderly people, six elderly health cadres, and other participants) to assess changes in their level of knowledge. Results: The majority of participants were aged 60–74 years (73.2%), female (78%), and had low educational backgrounds (71.1% ≤ junior high school). There was a significant increase in the mean understanding score from 4.95 (pre-test) to 9.56 (post-test), accompanied by a decrease in standard deviation from 0.865 to 0.502, indicating a more uniform level of understanding among participants following the intervention. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that culturally responsive and participatory health education is effective in increasing awareness among older adults regarding the importance of social interaction. Follow-up evaluation, capacity strengthening of community health cadres, and expansion of interventions targeting older and male participants are recommended to realize the principles of active ageing inclusively and sustainably.

Abstract

Background: Stunting affects approximately 149 million children globally, with Indonesia reporting 24% prevalence in 2022. Inappropriate parenting practices and parental psychological factors significantly contribute to stunting. This community service aimed to enhance community knowledge about the psychological role of parents in stunting prevention through psychoeducation intervention. Methods: Participatory Action Research (PAR) method was employed involving 20 posyandu cadres from Pagesangan sub-district, Surabaya. The intervention consisted of a 90-minute psychoeducation session, accompanied by leaflet distribution. The research stages included intake process, assessment, psychoeducation implementation, and evaluation. Pre-test and post-test assessments were administered verbally to measure knowledge changes. Results: Significant knowledge improvement was observed. Pre-test showed 85% of participants understood stunting only as malnutrition, while post-test revealed 100% could comprehensively explain stunting as multifaceted growth failure. All participants (100%) demonstrated improved understanding of psychological factors including psychosocial stimulation, parenting practices, and maternal mental health. Knowledge about stunting risks increased substantially, with all participants identifying cognitive, motor, and verbal developmental impairments. Follow-up assessment indicated 93% of participants disseminated information to their communities and 80% implemented preventive measures in posyandu activities. Conclusion: Psychoeducation effectively increased community knowledge about parental psychological aspects in stunting prevention. This community-based approach can be implemented to reduce stunting rates through empowering posyandu cadres as health information disseminators.

Abstract

Background: Ensuring an adequate blood supply remains a persistent public health challenge, particularly in developing regions. In Bandung City, Indonesia, the daily demand for blood reaches approximately 500 units, while supply remains limited to 200–300 units due to low public awareness and insufficient donor participation. Addressing this gap requires not only awareness campaigns but also structured managerial approaches. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of applying strategic management principles to enhance participation and awareness in community-based blood donation programs. Methods: This study adopted a structured community service design integrating strategic management stages: planning, socialization, implementation, and evaluation. The intervention involved educational sessions delivered by management academics and PMI practitioners, covering donor motivation, health benefits, and strategic organization of social programs. The training was conducted over a four-hour session. Program effectiveness was assessed using a pre-test and post-test approach to measure changes in participants’ knowledge and awareness. Results: The program successfully collected 63 blood units, exceeding the initial target of 50 units. Quantitative findings indicate a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge and awareness, with an average increase of 32% following the intervention. These results demonstrate that integrating strategic management into community service activities can substantially improve participation outcomes. Conclusion: The findings highlight the critical role of strategic management in enhancing the effectiveness of blood donation initiatives. This approach provides a scalable and replicable model for improving donor participation and ensuring sustainable blood supply in resource-constrained settings.
