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.

Abstract

Optimal nutrition plays a crucial role in supporting the growth and development processes of children. One abundant and easily accessible source of nutrition is milk. 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.

Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases are diseases that cause high mortality and morbidity that can be prevented or reduced in risk of occurrence. However, there are still many people who do not make efforts to determine the level of risk of cardiovascular disease and do not know the efforts needed to reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease. This community service activity aimed to carry out health examination, identify risk factors and determine the risk of cardiovascular diseases in the community in Nagari Sungai Buluh Selatan, Batang Anai District, Padang Pariaman Regency, West Sumatra. Activities are carried out using physical examination, assessing the level of disease risk and individual education about reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease methods. The instrument used to determine the level of risk is the Jakarta Cardiovascular Score. The results of this activity showed that 44.8% of the population had a moderate risk of suffering from cardiovascular diseases. It is hoped that community health centres will carry out risk level screening and education on reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases as routine and structured activities in order to increase public awareness in preventing and reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract

Social media has created opportunities for children to become victims of bullying, sexual harassment, and other criminal activities. The target of this service activity is children who are in the transition phase to adolescence. This activity aims to educate school-aged children about the impact of social media on mental health and sexual violence against children at SDN 14 Gurun Laweh, Kota Padang. The education is delivered through lectures and discussions, complemented by pre-tests and post-tests to assess knowledge after receiving counseling on the impact of social media on mental health and sexual violence against children. These tests play a crucial role in evaluating the effectiveness of the program and guiding future interventions. Based on the difference in average scores before and after the counseling, students showed a significant improvement in three indicators: social media knowledge, which increased by 6,4; attitudes and actions, which changed by 4,2; and mental health and sexual violence awareness, which improved by 3,5. Preventive steps and interventions are essential to protect children from crime risk. Proper education for children by parents, teachers, and the surrounding community on how to use social media wisely and safely is critical to preventing sexual violence and reducing its negative impact on children's mental health.

Abstract

The 2018 basic health research of the Indonesian Ministry of Health reported that dental and oral health problems in adolescents have a large percentage. In contrast, caries or cavities have the most significant proportion at 45.3%, and swollen gums have 14%. Meanwhile, according to WHO, those who experience cavities in the 12-year-old age group are 43.43%, and in the 15-year-old age group are 33.54%. Of this proportion, only a few receive services from dental medical personnel. Community service was carried out at the Liga Dakwah Padang Orphanage. In the initial survey, when the team interviewed the foster teachers, it was discovered that so far, many female students have experienced dental and oral problems, ranging from toothache, cavities, bleeding gums, and canker sores. The foster teachers gave them available painkillers at the orphanage or went to the nearest health center to treat the students' toothaches. The community service aimed to improve the dental and oral health of the female students who live there by providing counseling, services, and dental and oral care to female students with dental and oral problems. The method of implementing the activity is: 1. Dental and oral health counseling, demonstration of brushing teeth, discussion and provision of pretest and posttest questionnaires, 2. Service activities were carried out at the dentist's practice for female students with dental and oral problems, such as caries, fillings, extractions, and tartar cleaning. The results of this service were that dental and oral health counseling activities were carried out for female students so that the level of knowledge of female students improved, increasing from 23.7% to 50.8%. Dental and oral care has been carried out for 49 female students with the following actions: cleaning of tartar to 11 people, fillings to 19 people, extractions to 14 people, and provision of toothache medicine to 5 people. This activity provided students access to dental services and improved their dental and oral health. This service activity concluded that there is an increase in female students' knowledge about dental and oral health and their level of dental and oral health.
