Abstract

Digital transformation has reshaped marketing, payment systems, and business visibility within micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). In rural areas, however, such transformation is often constrained by low digital literacy, limited devices, and a persistent reliance on conventional transactions. This community service program aimed to accelerate the evolution of MSME business transactions in Karangan Village, Karanganom District, Klaten Regency, through online marketing training, QRIS payment assistance, and Google Maps optimisation. The implementation employed a participatory approach that included preliminary observation, problem identification, socialisation, training, direct mentoring, and evaluation. The findings indicate improved understanding among MSME actors regarding digital promotion, cashless payment, and the importance of digital business visibility. Several businesses started using social media for promotion, accepting QRIS-based payments, and registering their locations on Google Maps. Key constraints included low initial technical capability, limited devices and internet access, and weak post-program sustainability mechanisms. The program confirms that collaboration among universities, village governments, and communities can function as a catalyst for MSME digitalization and local capacity building. Its main implication is the need for gradual, sustained mentoring to ensure that technology adoption progresses beyond training and becomes embedded in business behaviours and village service practices.

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic, nutrition-related growth disorder that impacts both physical growth and cognitive development, with varying prevalence across different regions. Tenganan Village in Karangasem faces significant challenges regarding stunting, which necessitate integrated interventions. The objective of this project is to improve nutrition knowledge, promote balanced dietary practices using locally available foods, and enhance community capacity to reduce the risk of stunting in Tenganan Village. This includes socializing with partners, conducting Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), providing interactive nutrition education on stunting prevention, showing educational videos, demonstrating the Isi Piringku plates, and distributing stunting prevention materials such as chickens, fish, vegetables, and groceries. The pre-test mean score was 21.2, while the post-test mean score increased to 67.6, indicating a 68.6% improvement in knowledge about the Isi Piringku method. This study was supported by local food security materials provided by Japanese partners. In conclusion, the intervention successfully enhanced nutrition knowledge and practical skills for preparing nutritious meals using locally sourced ingredients, with the potential to reduce stunting rates if these efforts are sustained.

Abstract

Students who manage school health units often have limited knowledge of infectious diseases and health literacy. This program aims to enhance students' understanding of infectious diseases and health literacy skills at Payangan 1 State Senior High School, who oversee the school's health unit. To achieve this, the community service program at Payangan 1 State Senior High School uses an outreach approach and health literacy-focused demonstrations. The partners in this initiative include students managing the school's health unit, supportive teachers, and health professionals. The PKM consists of several stages, including material preparation. Counselling sessions on infectious diseases (such as HIV, dengue fever, and tuberculosis) for the school's health unit management students, utilizing presentations and focus group discussions.  Improvement of the school's health unit facilities and distribution of personal protective equipment (PPE). Counselling on materials related to adolescent entrepreneurship. To evaluate the program's effectiveness, pretests and posttests were administered to measure changes in knowledge of infectious diseases and health literacy. The results showed a 65.1% increase in knowledge about infectious diseases and a 50% increase in health literacy. It is anticipated that this program will positively impact students' physical, mental, and social health, create a healthier school environment, and empower students to become agents of change within their communities.

Abstract

Helminth infections remain a significant public health problem in Indonesia, particularly among young children. The high prevalence of helminth infection increases the risk of stunting, anaemia, and malnutrition. Prevention efforts are often hindered by limited public awareness and the misconception that helminth infection is not a serious health issue. This community service program aimed to improve mothers’ knowledge and awareness of helminth infection prevention through booklet-based health education at a community health centre. The participants comprised 12 mothers of young children who visited Community Health Centre X in Depok. The activity was conducted on April 24, 2026, using health counselling, group discussion, and question-and-answer sessions supported by educational booklets. Qualitative evaluation results indicated an improvement in mothers’ understanding of risk factors, transmission, and preventive measures related to helminth infections. In addition, community health volunteers demonstrated increased confidence and readiness to deliver health education to the wider community. In conclusion, booklet-based health education was effective in enhancing mothers’ knowledge and awareness, and community-based educational strategies can support the prevention of helminth infections among young children.

Abstract

The implementation of the Internal Quality Assurance System (SPMI/SPMI) at the elementary school level in Indonesia still faces structural challenges, including limited capacity in data-based quality mapping using the Education Report. This community service activity aimed to strengthen elementary school principals' and operators' capacity in implementing data-based SPMI through a coaching workshop using the GROW (Goal–Reality–Option–Will) framework. The activity was conducted on 4 May 2026 at SD Negeri 4 Dampit, Malang Regency, attended by 105 participants from 50 elementary schools. Implementation methods included material presentation on the SPMI concept, education quality mapping based on the Rapor Mutu Pendidikan, and a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) divided into four problem categories: literacy, numeracy, character, and learning quality. Evaluation was conducted using pre-test/post-test and qualitative analysis of FGD outcomes. Results indicated a significant improvement in participants' understanding, with the average score increasing from 76.44 to 87.42 on matched pairs (paired t-test t = 6.20; p < 0.001), Cohen's d = 0.73 (medium-to-large effect), and N-Gain = 0.42 (medium category). The proportion of participants in the "Excellent" category nearly doubled (22.1% to 43.3%), while the "Very Poor" category decreased significantly (18.6% to 4.4%). The FGD produced a problem mapping document and follow-up plan applicable to school-level quality improvement programs.

Abstract

The coastal area of Klawalu Village possesses abundant mangrove ecosystem potential; however, its utilization by the community remains limited to ecological functions and has not been optimized as a source of food, health products, or economic improvement. This community service program aimed to enhance community knowledge and skills in mangrove utilization through education, training, and mentoring approaches based on multidisciplinary collaboration. The implementation methods included socialization on the benefits of mangroves, training on mangrove-based food product processing, education on the use of mangroves as natural health ingredients, and assistance in product marketing strategies to support the coastal community’s economy. The activities involved community groups, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and village officials as primary partners. The results demonstrated an increase in community understanding regarding the potential of mangroves as a source of functional food and natural health ingredients, as well as improved skills in processing economically valuable mangrove-based products. In addition, this program encouraged greater public awareness of the importance of preserving mangrove ecosystems as sustainable natural resources. This community service initiative is expected to become a model for coastal community empowerment based on local potential that supports health, food security, and sustainable economic strengthening.
