Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2 is a non-communicable disease, and the incidence continues to increase. Various factors can increase the incidence of type 2 DM, but many people lack the awareness to determine risk factors and the efforts that need to be made to reduce the risk of type 2 DM. This community service aims to conduct health examinations and determine the risk level of DM type 2 in Sungai Buluh, Padang Pariaman, West Sumatra. This community service activity includes health examination, determining risk levels of risk type 2 DM, and personal education to reduce the risk of type 2 DM. The instrument used to determine the risk of type 2 DM is the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC). Type 2 DM screening showed that most people had a slightly increased risk 37 people (45.6%), low-risk 26 people (32.1%), high-risk 13 people (16.1%) and very high-risk five people (6.2%). It is hoped that health centers will carry out risk level screening and education on reducing the risk of type 2 DM as a planned and structured activity to increase public awareness to prevent and reduce the risk of type 2 DM.

Abstract

The issue of stunting is a global problem that has become the focus of the government's efforts to address it. Based on observations of the nutritional status of toddlers at Posyandu Harapan Ibu, 6 out of 149 toddlers, ten are experiencing stunting, accounting for approximately 6.71% of the total number of toddlers. An initial survey conducted by the community engagement team among ten mothers with toddlers in the Posyandu Harapan Ibu 6 area revealed that most (80%) of these mothers lack knowledge regarding stunting, its prevention, management, and associated risks. The Mata Air area in Padang City, which is part of Posyandu Harapan Ibu 6, has a relatively high prevalence of stunting. However, the potential of family backyard spaces in this area has yet to be optimally utilized. This community engagement initiative aims to enhance the use of family backyard spaces as a source of nutrition for families to prevent stunting. The method employed involves educating local volunteers about the benefits of family backyard spaces as an alternative source of family food, followed by the distribution of plant seeds and planting media. The results of the outreach activities indicate that (1) participants respond to the outreach activities with enthusiasm and vigor, (2) Participants actively engage and proactively participate in the outreach process, and (3) Participants have initiated the implementation of recommendations by utilizing family backyard spaces as a source of food and nutrition for their families by planting the provided plant seeds. This community engagement effort represents a positive endeavor to prevent stunting in the Mata Air area.

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of cybersex behavior among adolescents presents a growing concern, with potential risks to their physical and mental health. The ease of access and low cost associated with this behavior contribute to its proliferation. Based on interviews with students from X High School in Pariaman, it was found that a significant portion of the student population accesses pornography on the internet when exposed to online advertisements and during casual browsing. The primary objective of this initiative is to nurture a generation of digitally aware youth by enhancing their knowledge and shaping healthier attitudes regarding cybersex. The location of the activities was SMA X Pariaman City. A combination of active and passive approaches was employed. Active methods involved delivering lectures with prepared materials and informative video presentations. Passively, students were provided with informational leaflets and banners placed strategically in the school environment. Pre-test and post-test questionnaires were administered to gauge the effectiveness of the materials and videos in influencing participants' knowledge and attitudes. Statistical analysis, including the Wilcoxon test and Gain Score, reveals a notable increase in expertise and confirms the effectiveness of the counseling efforts. In summary, this program effectively enhances knowledge and attitudes about cybersex among adolescents, marking a significant step in addressing this pressing issue.

Abstract

There are still many plant species that the public currently needs to be made aware. It is because the uses of plants still need to be well explored, which has left them with little practical usefulness. The potential of these plants can be utilized as a tool in educational media and as items with creative and unique value in the commercial sector. Carnivorous plants are among them. In addition to having unique shapes, art enthusiasts can use this plant to turn their interests and skills into terrarium products. TERRAVOR is an innovative terrarium product with carnivorous plants as the main ingredient. This product specializes in carnivorous plants found in the Sumatra region to educate the public regarding the sustainable use of these plants and their status in nature so that the use value of these plants can be maintained for an extended period. This workshop aims to educate the public, especially a society of nature-themed art lovers, about the sustainable use of carnivorous plants. This one-day workshop involved a society interested in terrarium techniques and the uniqueness of carnivorous plants. In this workshop, participants consisting of 13 people who have natural-themed artistic talent were introduced to the ins and outs of carnivorous plants, their conservation status, how to cultivate them in terrarium conditions, and their care. The results of this workshop showed that the number of participants' understanding of the importance of carnivorous plants increased. In addition, participants know more about how to use it sustainably without destroying its natural populations.

Abstract

The risk of various degenerative diseases is more experienced by older adults than young people. One of the most common health problems among the elderly is hypertension. Delays in treating hypertensive patients are caused by the majority of patients only coming to health facilities after experiencing complications and lack of access to public health services. The incidence of dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus (DM) also continues to grow, which are risk factors for coronary heart disease. For this reason, promotive and preventive efforts for the elderly group are significant through increasing knowledge and understanding of degenerative diseases. The community service partner is the Banpres Pololo Community Health Center, one of the community health centers in Sigi Regency with high cases of degenerative diseases, and the target of community service is the elderly in Uenuni Palolo village. Implementing the activity was health education about hypertension, DM, and dyslipidemia, health screening, and health counseling. The screening results found that 94.12% of older adults suffered from hypertension, 17.65% suffered from DM, and 52.94% suffered from hypercholesterolemia. Health counseling results show that most older adults did not understand the importance of early detection of degenerative diseases. Therefore, health education and counseling for the community still need to be improved.

Abstract

Stunting, a persistent global nutritional issue from inadequate care and nutritional intake, becomes evident when a child ages two. Tanah Datar recorded a 21.5% stunting rate in 2022, prompting a targeted service to enhance the literacy of pregnant women, mothers of toddlers, and cadres about the critical first 1000 days of life. Utilizing an interactive game, Emotional Demonstration, and drawing on four modules from the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), the service employed printed modules and game equipment. Held on 10 June 2023 at Wali Nagari Pandai Sikek Hall, the event gathered 20 participants, including pregnant women, mothers, cadres, and X Koto Community Health Center officers. Activities commenced with a pre-test, followed by interactive game-based education, and concluded with a post-test. The community service positively contributed to increased health literacy and awareness in the first 1000 days, validated by significant T-test results (p-value = 0.001), indicating a substantial knowledge improvement post-intervention.

Abstract

Indonesia frequently experiences earthquakes, resulting in significant financial losses and casualties, especially in Padang. A major factor contributing to the high number of victims is the general public's lack of knowledge and preparedness for such disasters. Teenagers, including middle school students, are particularly vulnerable. Consequently, at SMPN 24 in Padang, virtual reality (VR) technology has been introduced to educate students about disaster preparedness. This simulation provided a realistic learning experience, allowing students to practice for emergencies without endangering themselves. At SMPN 24 in Padang, 32 students underwent an earthquake simulation using the VR approach. The results indicated an enhanced understanding of disaster preparedness among the students, with the median comprehension score rising from 59.00 to 60.50. Evaluations suggest that VR technology effectively increases students' disaster awareness and readiness. In summary, thanks to the virtual reality (VR) training, students at SMPN 24 in Padang feel better equipped to face potential earthquake disasters.

Abstract

The village of Sungai Nanam, Lembah Gumanti, is an area in Solok Regency, West Sumatra, that produces significant organic waste from horticultural agriculture. If not managed properly, this waste can cause environmental and aesthetic issues. However, this waste can be converted into an eco-enzyme. An eco-enzyme is a liquid enzyme produced by fermenting organic waste. Eco-enzyme has many benefits, including being used as a liquid organic fertilizer, cleaner, and pest repellent. This community service aims to educate and train the community, especially the women farmers group, named Kelompok Wanita Tani (KWT) Rimbo Data Sejahtera, on converting organic waste into eco-enzymes. The program used three methods: socialization, demonstration, and mentoring. It has been proven to be an effective way to educate and train the community, particularly KWT Rimbo Data Sejahtera, on proper waste management. This program is a perfect fit for their needs and is very useful in reducing the impact of pollution.

Abstract

In order to enhance the quality of goat's milk products and ensure their cleanliness and safety for consumption, it is imperative to standardize the product and enhance its quality through the implementation of pasteurization technology and the utilization of aseptic packaging. Moreover, this initiative aims to enhance the sustainable commercialization of Rokir Farm's dairy products. Products can generate financial gains for companies while providing individuals with high-quality dairy products. Additionally, these items can support government initiatives to ensure food security and address nutritional deficiencies. This activity entails a collaborative effort between universities and partners to address particular challenges partners encounter in product standardization. Other goat milk-producing farmer groups can utilize this activity as a model.

Abstract

The rabbit farming business has great potential to meet the need for animal protein, and currently, many rabbit farming businesses are being cultivated. Farmers face nonoptimal reproductive performance with the currently implemented mating management, so improvement efforts are needed. The community service aimed to implement good breeding practices through communal mating and introducing bucks Rex rabbits to rabbit breeders in Kulonprogo, Yogyakarta. The community service activities were conducted from June to September 2023 at one of the rabbit breeders in Kulonprogo Regency, Yogyakarta. The activities include: 1. initial preparation and coordination, 2. preparation of extension materials, guidebooks (assistance media), 3. Direct training through extension. 4. Implement communal mating, introduce Bucks Rex directly at partner locations, and distribute guidebooks. 5. Monitoring and evaluation of activity results. The enthusiasm of breeders in community service was proven by the presence of 30 breeders in extension and discussion activities with the theme "Kopi Darat Peternak Kelinci Komersial." The results of the application of the communal mating method show farmer satisfaction, with 4 out of 5 rabbits becoming pregnant from the application of this method. Increasing the reproductive performance of the breeder's doe can increase rabbit production, thereby contributing to the breeder's income. Implementing good breeding practices through communal mating and the introduction of bucks Rex rabbits can be a solution for breeders regarding the low productivity of the rabbits.
