Abstract

Students are one group of individuals who are in adolescent development. Adolescence is the stage of human development between childhood and adulthood. Growth and development are also felt in adolescence, including cognitive, personality, social, and physical development. Adolescence is the next generation of the nation's struggle and has a vital role in the nation's survival. Thus, various skills are needed in adolescents to face the development and challenges that lie ahead. One of the things that can be done is to provide debriefing related to essential life skills. Debriefing is done through training activities to increase students' knowledge of essential life skills. The participants of this activity were 27 students of SMAN 2 Padang Panjang. Training activities are packaged through applicative, interactive, and simple games that illustrate essential life skills—measurement of knowledge in students using an open-ended questionnaire that refers to essential life skills. After receiving training, we observed an increase in grades/scores in students, which was measured through a pre- and post-training assessment of their understanding and application of the essential life skills.

Abstract

To support one of the government's programs in the field of education, the use of the Merdeka Belajar Curriculum, it is necessary to provide outreach and training to all elements of educational practitioners, especially teachers. Pesantren Perkampungan Minangkabau was chosen as a partner based on the greatest desire of the Islamic Boarding School and the Foundation, namely, to continue to follow the current development of the education system launched by the Republic of Indonesia. From the results of internal meetings between Islamic Boarding Schools and Foundations, one necessary thing is implementing the Merdeka Belajar Curriculum in their environment. The main problem is that teachers or members of the Foundation need to understand the concept of the Merdeka Belajar Curriculum. The method used in this community service is a workshop. From the results of the pre-test conducted before the workshop, even though around 83% of participants had heard and often heard of the Merdeka Belajar Curriculum, it turned out that only 3.6% stated that they understood how to implement the Merdeka Belajar Curriculum. The rest said they did not understand enough or did not understand (41.6%), and more than half admitted they did not understand at all (54.5%). After the training, it was found that 78.2% understood the essence, procedures, and implementation of the Merdeka Belajar Curriculum.

Abstract

Adolescents are faced with many problems related to reproductive health, so adolescents need to know to be able to face these challenges. However, the knowledge of adolescents in Indonesia is still low, especially in terms of ways to protect themselves against reproductive health risks, such as preventing unwanted pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections, and AIDS. The provision of education needs to be done to address adolescent reproductive health problems. Educational activities related to reproductive health at MTsS Pesantren Thawalib Padang have never been conducted. The students MTsS are the right target group to be able to provide information related to reproductive health. The objective of this service activity is to enhance students' understanding of reproductive health, enabling them to cultivate a positive and responsible approach when addressing the sexual and reproductive changes that transpire within them. The approach employed involves student outreach and the placement of informative posters in their dormitories. The augmentation in students' knowledge was assessed using a questionnaire consisting of 15 questions before and after the activity. Data analysis was conducted through a paired sample t-test, a statistical method that compares the means of two related groups to determine if there is a significant difference between them. After the activity was carried out, there was an increase in the average level of knowledge before (pre-test), 40.63 to 49.76 after (post-test), providing education with a p-value of 0.000. It can be concluded that there is an increase in knowledge after adolescent reproductive health education. It is hoped that students can access reproductive health information from the posters displayed on the dormitory walls.

Abstract

Human activities pose significant threats to the biodiversity of Indonesia, leading to a decline in the population of endemic animals. Insufficient awareness among the public regarding the importance of conservation exacerbates wildlife trafficking and decreases animal populations. To enhance awareness, early-age education is crucial. Hand puppets, as educational tools, offer an engaging and practical approach to teaching children about Indonesian fauna. The implementation of Fauna Hand Puppetry (FHP) was conducted at SDN 22 Kuranji, and through a series of hand puppets, illustrated storybooks, and QR-coded tags linked to a website, the socialization aimed to capture children's interest and provide easy understanding of the protected fauna. FHP products are designed with child-safe materials and attractively packaged, empowering children to take an active role in conservation. Socialization methods involve PowerPoint (PPT) presentations to explain Indonesian wildlife and interactive Q&A sessions to allow students to inquire and discuss the presented materials. Through a combination of presentations and Q&A sessions, this socialization effort is anticipated to foster a better understanding among students regarding the importance of protecting Indonesian fauna. The quiz and Q&A session results conducted after the socialization showed that students' understanding increased, and they could answer an average of 9 out of 10 questions correctly related to Indonesian fauna.

Abstract

Limited understanding regarding healthy relationships, religious implications, the impact of LGBTQ occurrences, psychological susceptibilities associated with LGBTQ, and inappropriate approaches towards LGBTQ individuals can heighten one's susceptibility towards developing LGBTQ tendencies or mental disorders. This initiative, referred to as IbDM, will be executed with the utilization of a social campaign approach and interactive talk shows, to cultivate positive awareness and effective strategies for addressing and preventing the rise in LGBTQ transmission. The social campaign involve distributing pamphlets and pocketbooks about LGBTQ matters across all faculties in Unand, serving as a reminder and platform for introspection in anticipation of LGBTQ transmission. Additionally, incorporating interactive and captivating talk show activities featuring knowledgeable speakers will enable the dissemination of understanding, thereby enhancing the academic community's awareness in a more profound manner. The content presented during these activities will encompass various aspects of LGBTQ, including social and religious dimensions, cultural and legal considerations, and health-related perspectives. This activity has provided an overview of the perceptions of students involved as participants regarding LGBTQ behaviour. All participants (100%) view LGBTQ as deviant behavior, the importance of the role of parents in building children's character and identity, and the large influence of the social environment as a barrier to LGBTQ. Therefore, it is important for the role of policymakers at the central and regional government levels, leaders of higher education institutions, the academic community, health practitioners, and other fields to be able to work together in enforcing strict legal regulations against LGBTQ, socializing the impact of sexual identity and orientation deviation, strengthening the role parents and social environment as deterrents to deviant sexual identity and orientation behavior.

Abstract

Red guava fruit is one type of fruit that quickly changes colour, texture and spoilage. This is of course a problem for farmers. At harvest time, not all of the fruit is marketable. So sometimes farmers just leave the fruit on the tree, because if harvested it will only increase operational costs. The KWT Jambu Biji Bengke Sakato, VII Koto Sungai Sariak, Pariaman is a group of red guava farmers. They tried to find a solution to this problem by discussing with TIM PPM KIMIA UNAND of the Department of Chemistry, FMIPA, Universitas Andalas. Finally it was agreed that the solution was to make products from red guava. The products made in this program are dodol and red guava ice cream. The KWT members and the Tim PPM KIMIA UNAND together made these two types of products. The results obtained, dodol and ice cream made are quite delicious and have an attractive appearance. This product can be an alternative to red guava processing that has economic value.

The protein and calcium content in milk support bone formation, brain development, and various bodily functions. This community service activity aims to provide education to elementary school students about the benefits of milk as a nutritional source and to enhance milk consumption habits. Education is conducted through face-to-face interactions using lecture and discussion methods. The material is presented through PowerPoint presentations, videos, and the distribution of leaflets to the participants. To assess the success of the educational activities, pretests and posttests are conducted on the participants. The results of the educational activities show an increase in the average posttest scores compared to the pretest scores regarding the benefits of drinking milk. This indicates that the educational activities have successfully improved the participants' understanding of the importance of including milk in a healthy diet.

Abstract

Indonesia is a disaster-prone region because it is located in the Ring of Fire and at the confluence of four tectonic plate faults: the Eurasian, Indo-Australian, Philippine Sea, and Pacific plates. A disaster is an event that cannot be predicted in terms of its arrival and impact but can be reduced in terms of risk. Community preparedness related to disasters needs to be improved because of the risk of disasters that can threaten the lives and livelihoods of people affected by disasters. Padang City is one of the coastal areas in West Sumatra Province with the risk of disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and landslides because one of the factors is its geographical condition, which is located in a potential natural disaster area. Therefore, preparedness training is needed to help people who live in disaster-prone areas cope with and reduce disaster risks. This disaster preparedness and mitigation training was held on 8 November 2023 at the Batang Arau Village Office, Padang Selatan District, Padang City. The conclusion obtained after the implementation of this activity is the community's insight into the importance of being prepared and mitigating disasters that have the potential to occur in residential areas.

Abstract

Leprosy is still a health problem in several countries, including Indonesia. Disability due to leprosy is a health threat for sufferers and causes quality-of-life problems that can disrupt the productivity of leprosy patients. Ocular involvement in leprosy is joint, but little data has been reported. Apart from multi-drug treatment (MDT), leprosy sufferers must also be able to carry out continuous self-care to prevent further disability. This is a collaborative activity between the Department of Ophthalmology and Dermatology Venereology of the Faculty of Medicine, the University of Andalas in Puskesmas Pauh Kamba district of Padang Pariaman. This is an advocacy activity on self-care (3M: Seeing, Examining, and Protecting) and eye examination. The activity was followed by interactive discussions and continued with a direct examination for skin abnormalities and disabilities, eye examination, and fundoscope. The activity results were obtained from 24 respondents, 11 men and 13 women. The age range is 16-59 years (67%), with the highest level of education being Elementry School graduates, which is 11 people (46%). In the self-care questionnaire of patients, 40% behaved well, and the results of eye examinations almost suffered from dry eye complaints without disabilities.

Abstract

Adolescents are at an age that is vulnerable to sexually deviant behavior. In this phase, providing sexual education is the right step to prevent deviant sexual behavior by teenagers. The number of deviant behaviors in adolescents can affect their reproductive health for the next life. This counseling aims to increase the knowledge of adolescents at SMAN 6 Padang regarding adolescent sexual behavior such as adolescent nutrition, adolescent psychology, adolescent growth and development, adolescent sexuality, reproductive tract infections (ISR) and STIs, HIV/AIDS prevention, and reproductive health for the future, which will come. The activity methods used are counseling and active class sharing using PowerPoint media, posters, and leaflets, as well as a questionnaire with a total of 30 questions; the targets of this activity are students who are members of PIK-R at SMAN 6 Padang. There was an increase in the average response knowledge during the pre-test of 66.75 and post-test of 84.00 with a pre-test standard deviation value of 16.802 and a post-test standard deviation value of 13.338. Based on statistical tests on the frequency distribution results, there was an increase in question scores; the results of the gain score test were low on HIV/AIDS material (0.230) and reproductive health of the elderly and reproductive age (0.257). The gain score results were moderate in child growth and development (0.634), sexuality, gender, and domestic violence (0.692), reproductive tract infections (0.375), reproductive health psychology (0.454), and adolescent nutrition (0.474). From these results, it was concluded that there was an average difference between the pre-test and post-test participants' knowledge, so it could be said that there was an influence of sexual behavior education outreach activities on adolescents. The hope is that after this activity, adolescents will care more and know how important education and education regarding sexuality is for adolescents and can avoid various kinds of sexually transmitted diseases, leading to a healthier and more informed generation in the future.
