Abstract

Hypertension is one of the non-communicable diseases whose prevalence is increasing in the community. Lifestyle factors, unhealthy diet, and lack of physical activity are the leading causes. Efforts to prevent hypertension can be made with a promotive and preventive approach, one of which is through the use of family medicinal plants (TOGA). The use of TOGA is increasingly favoured because its low side effects are more suitable for various metabolic and degenerative diseases. One area with a high incidence of hypertension is the Dadok Tunggul Hitam Community Health Centre in Padang. The high incidence of hypertension in the area is because patients suffering from hypertension who seek treatment at the health centre are not adherent to a diet and do not know the correct way of treatment. Thus, it is important to provide education about the treatment of hypertension by utilising Family Medicinal Plants in the community in the area. The implementation of the activity was carried out on 29 September 2024 by conducting a pretest first to determine the understanding of the community before being given the intervention, then continued with health checks, providing education, and handing over Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA) seeds for hypertension patients and at the end of the session a posttest was conducted again. The results showed that community knowledge before education was 65% and 100% after education. This increased because the community was enthusiastic about participating in education. The health center should monitor and evaluate the results of this education regularly.

Abstract

Adolescents face various risk factors that increase vulnerability to their mental health. The purpose of this activity is to train and empower adolescent mental health cadres at SMPN 23 Padang to recognize and resolve mental health problems independently. The methods used include socialization, counseling, and workshops on the implementation of the School Mental Health Unit program with a focus on preventing mental health problems and deviant behavior. The partners of this activity were teachers and the UKS team of SMPN 23 Padang, who were selected as mental health cadres. The results showed a significant increase in skills; whereas before the training, only 41.7% of cadres were skilled in conducting mental health screening, while after the training, it reached 100%. This activity proves that involving adolescents in solving mental health problems can significantly improve their skills.

Abstract

Community services aim to build the competency of the financial statement analysis for the decision makers of BUMNag Anrila Sejahtera so that they can make better strategic decision making to develop BUMNag Anrila Sejahtera’s business. Most decision makers are non-accountants who should be able to analyze the financial statements. With this competency, they can evaluate BUMNag’s financial performance and formulate strategies to develop BUMNag’s business. The community services method covers Focus Group Discussion (FGD), Observation, and training. FGD is performed by inviting Wali Nagari, BAMUS, Wali Jorong, the management of BUMNag Anrila Sejahtera, and other key stakeholders. Observation is performed by reviewing the accounting systems developed by BUMNag Anrila Sejahtera. There are two stages of training: introduction to BUMNag financial statements, and analysis of BUMNag Anrila Sejahtera’s financial statements. The survey found that the training participants were highly satisfied and gained more insight and knowledge. Further, observation also found the weaknesses of accounting systems for financial reporting. BUMNag Anrila Sejahtera expected the expert assistance to develop better accounting information systems and other aspects, such as manufacturing the quality Madu Galo-Galo, and marketing the products.

Abstract

Cosmetics are products designed for use on the external parts of the human body to clean, alter appearance, provide fragrance, improve body odor, or maintain health. The cosmetic industry in Indonesia has experienced significant growth. Technology and beauty stereotypes disseminated through social media have influenced the increasing demand for cosmetics among teenagers. Research shows that 45.4% of teenagers in Indonesia use skincare products before the age of 19, and 46% experience skin health issues due to unsafe products. The Community Service Program aims to enhance teenagers' knowledge about safe cosmetics. This program was conducted through interactive lectures and a peel-off mask-making workshop at Santa Patricia High School in Tangerang, involving 72 students from 10th and 11th grades. Evaluation was performed through pretests and posttests, showing a 16% increase in participants' knowledge. A total of 82% of participants achieved good scores in the posttest. Additionally, 97% of participants understood the material presented, and 99% were satisfied with the overall event. This educational initiative successfully increased students' awareness and knowledge about the safety of cosmetic use, providing new insights into safe ingredients and steps for choosing appropriate cosmetics. Similar activities are encouraged to broaden teenagers' understanding of cosmetic safety.

Abstract

Adolescence is a transition period from childhood to adulthood, where in adolescent girls it is marked by menstruation, breast enlargement, hips, and so on. As a result of these changes, adolescent girls are at risk of experiencing nutritional deficiencies in their bodies which can lead to anemia. Anemia is a condition where there is a lack of hemoglobin levels in the body, the impact of which will be seen now and in the future. Dysmenorrhea is also the most common disorder experienced by women, especially adolescents, during the menstrual cycle. Dysmenorrhea can have an impact on daily activities, but many adolescent girls still do not know the factors related to the occurrence of primary dysmenorrhea, so health education is needed. The purpose of this activity was to provide health education about the risk factors for primary dysmenorrhea and anemia in adolescent girls and to conduct Hb level checks. This community service activity was carried out by providing education with slides and videos related to the risk factors for primary dysmenorrhea and anemia in 100 female students at SMP N 31 Padang. Adolescents will complete a knowledge and attitude questionnaire regarding anemia and primary dysmenorrhea before and after the intervention. The results of this activity showed an increase in knowledge and attitudes of adolescent girls regarding the risk factors for primary dysmenorrhea and anemia. The results of Hb examinations in adolescent girls found that 6% of adolescent girls had anemia. It is hoped that this health education can be carried out periodically so that young women can have the right knowledge and a positive attitude in dealing with problems such as dysmenorrhea or anemia.

Abstract

Sungai Pisang Village is confronted with several public health issues, particularly a high incidence of diseases attributable to inadequate sanitation facilities and unhealthy lifestyle practices. This community-based intervention aimed to improve clean and healthy living behaviors through a combination of educational strategies and practical disease prevention activities. The intervention consisted of structured health education sessions, hands-on demonstrations of hygiene practices, and subsequent evaluations to measure behavioral outcomes and program effectiveness. Active engagement from community members and institutional support from the local health center facilitated program implementation. Findings revealed a significant increase in public awareness and the adoption of clean and healthy living behaviors practices, especially in terms of environmental hygiene, healthy dietary behavior, and preventive health measures. The results suggest that such integrative health promotion efforts can effectively foster sustainable behavioral changes, provided that continuous support from stakeholders is maintained.

Abstract

Guo River is one of the 3 upstream branches in Kuranji, located at Lubuak Tampuruang in Guo Village RT 01 RW 06 Kuranji Village. As an upstream of Guo Riverr, it has several waterfalls with great potential as an ecotourism area in Padang City. This potential is threatened with failure due to river damage that often occurs every year. The amount of sediment carried during the rainy season and the presence of plants planted by the community on theriverbanks have slowed the water flow and eventually caused sediment to accumulate on the cliffs of the middle section of the Guo River. Sediment accumulation causes changes in the river's flow patterns and narrowing of the river's area. The lack of basic river and watershed management knowledge among the people of Guo Village leads to the degradation of land and river functions, and the low level of public awareness of the dangers of uncontrolled logging underlies the damage to the Guo River. Therefore, community-based structural and non-structural measures are needed to implement river management. Structural actions in this service focus on river management through river normalization, and non-structural actionstakeake the form of Focus Group Discussion (FGD) activities between the community and related stakeholders. The normalization of the Guo River will be carried out by cutting vegetation, removing sedimentation, and strengthening triverbanks.s. Through these activities, it is hoped that the community will be able to use the river and maintain it self-sufficiently.

Abstract

The issue of organic waste in Padang City is increasing due to the community's high activity level, which predominantly generates food waste. Currently, food waste accounts for 63% of the total waste in Padang City. The Black Soldier Fly (BSF) maggot is an effective agent for processing organic waste, requiring simple technology that is cost-efficient and easy to implement. BSF maggots also produce biomass with a high protein content that can be utilized as animal feed. The methods used in this study include socialization, education, direct field practice, and evaluation. The results demonstrated an increase in community understanding and interest in BSF maggot cultivation as a means to reduce organic waste. Participants also learned about the TOSS (Solid Waste Processing Technology at the Source) method for managing leaf and twig waste. This activity was expected to serve as a waste management model that reduces waste volume and creates opportunities within the circular economy, where organic waste is converted into valuable resources.

Abstract

Stunting in children is a chronic malnutrition problem caused by a lack of nutritional intake for a long time, especially in the first 1,000 days of life. The prevalence of stunted children in West Sumatra is 25.2%, and in Padang City it is 19.5%, which shows a high stunting rate in Padang City. The Community service activities empower housewives to produce VCO with prebiotics as a nutritional supplement for stunted children in Bukik Karan Rawang Village, Padang City. Providing VCO supplements that contain good fats, prebiotics, and antioxidants improves children's digestive systems, increases their immunity, prevents them from infectious diseases, and supports the development of their brains and nervous systems. Technology transfer provides skills for mothers of stunted children to make their own VCO, and can also improve the family economy. The growth and development of stunted children improve, as indicated by measurable parameters such as increased height and weight, after they are given VCO with prebiotics. Weight gain between 1-1.8 kg, an average of 1.47 kg, and height between 2.2-7 cm, an average of 4.38 cm in stunted children. Education on diet and Parenting Patterns for stunted children is carried out by providing knowledge, training, nutritional counseling, and parenting to increase insight among mothers of stunted children about nutrition supplements and healthy and nutritious foods to achieve improved health. Providing VCO with prebiotics can enhance children's growth and development and improve their nutritional status to help overcome stunting.
