Abstract

In the Baruah Gunuang Public Health Center area, located in Lima Puluh Kota Regency, West Sumatra, the prevalence of hypertension continues to rise, with only 14% of hypertension patients regularly seeking medical check-ups in 2022. Additionally, only 69.44% of patients adhere to regular treatment, far below the target of 100%. To address this issue, community awareness must be increased through the Empowerment Movement of Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) Hypertension Cadres in the SIGADIS Program (Hypertension Prevention and Detection Action). This program aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of cadres in monitoring and managing hypertension within the community. The program was conducted by the Faculty of Public Health at Andalas University in collaboration with the local health center from September to October 2023. Activities included outreach, training, and health screening involving community members appointed as cadres for hypertension prevention in each village. The results of this program showed an increase in the knowledge and skills of the cadres in hypertension prevention and control, as measured by a 5-point increase in pre-test and post-test scores, with no participants scoring below 80 by the end. This improvement in competence is expected to strengthen the role of cadres in education, early detection, and patient recruitment for hypertension, thereby reducing the prevalence of hypertension in the area. The SIGADIS program serves as a community empowerment model for addressing health challenges related to hypertension, particularly in areas with limited access to healthcare services.

Abstract

By current global needs, students are expected to be able to adapt to a rapidly changing world and participate actively in society. Students must become lifelong learners who need reading literacy and numeracy literacy competencies. Literacy Numeracy, often called numeracy, can be interpreted as the ability to apply mathematical concepts and skills to solve practical problems in everyday life. Starting in 2021, this ability will be measured through the Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM) aimed at classes V, VIII, and XI. The aim is to obtain information about the quality of a school so that it becomes a basis for improving the learning process in that school, especially concerning students' numeracy and literacy abilities. The problem faced by the Shalih Children's Character IT SMPS (KAS) is a lack of guidance on students' numeracy literacy skills needed to take AKM. Therefore, the Service Team from the Department of Mathematics and Data Science felt it necessary to carry out service at SMPS IT KAS as a continuation of the guidance that had been carried out in the previous year. The method used is to apply the Contextual Teaching Learning model, which helps teachers link learning material with real life and encourages students to connect their knowledge with application in everyday life. It is hoped that implementing this service can help teachers guide students in preparing for AKM in the following year.

Abstract

Breast milk is the best food for babies because it has benefits. Babies who are not exclusively breastfed have been more susceptible to infections compared to babies who are exclusively breastfed. However, the benefits of breast milk do not necessarily mean that all mothers are providing breast milk as recommended. This can be caused by problems during breastfeeding, such as sore nipples, tenderness, swelling, mastitis, and even breast abscess. Therefore, breast care and breastfeeding training must be carried out so mothers avoid breastfeeding problems. Educational activities in this activity were conducted at Posyandu Mulus Rahayu 22, attended by 14 cadres, and Posyandu Shofa 11 A, B, C by 11 cadres. Education is carried out using lectures, demonstrations, and question-and-answer methods, such as PowerPoint, leaflets, and teaching aids. Pre-tests and post-tests were carried out to evaluate participants. The evaluation results showed increased participants' knowledge from an average of 6.44 at the pre-test to 7.6 at the post-test. Education is an important step that needs to be taken to increase knowledge. It is hoped that cadres who have taken part in this activity can convey information to mothers around them so that they avoid breastfeeding problems.

Abstract

The majority of people of Nagari Carocok Anau Kec. Tarusan Kab. Pesisir Selatan worked as a fisherman, farmer, a small number of civil servants and market traders, as well as a housewife. Pregnant women in Nagari Carocok Anau, most of whom are housewives, still do not receive health checks such as haemoglobin (Hb) checks. This activity aims to increase knowledge among the public and health cadres regarding anaemia and Hb examination in pregnant women, as well as treatment. The health of pregnant women is checked by checking blood pressure, Hb and medication. This Hb examination is an effort to minimize abnormalities that can occur in pregnant women and fetuses due to low Hb when the mother is pregnant. The examination results showed that more than half of the pregnant women (71.43%) who attended were in the age range 18 – 35 years. Nearly half (42.86%) of pregnant women had Hb levels below the normal limit (11 mg/dl). For a more valid diagnosis, it is necessary to carry out quantitative analysis from the hospital laboratory so that follow-up can be carried out. Education about anaemia and Hb examinations in pregnant women can increase people's knowledge so that preventive measures can be carried out early. Health checks on the general public (blood pressure, Hb) and treatment were also carried out, it was found that the Hb results were within normal limits.

Abstract

When comparing Lawang to Nagari Tigo Balai, the latter exhibits an attractive appearance on product packaging, which is one of the crucial factors in the marketing strategy of micro, small, and medium enterprises (UMKM). UMKM's issues in the Nagari Tigo Balai area include limited technology and knowledge in redesigning packaging. This Community Service Activity (PKM) aims to assist UMKM in Nagari Tigo Balai in designing packaging for "Barandang" peanut products. The method consists of three stages: observation, analysis of the content of "Barandang" peanut products, and assistance in designing packaging until the design is ready for printing. The result of the assistance activity is the creation of packaging designs for "Barandang" peanut products for two UMKMs in Nagari Tigo Balai, namely LBM and ARYA, with nutritional information on the packaging. Based on the discussion during the assistance activity, this packaging redesign assistance plays a crucial role for UMKM practitioners in making their marketed products more attractive, thus increasing buyers' interest and purchasing power even further.

Abstract

Hypertension or high blood pressure is one of the significant health problems in the world, including in Indonesia. The prevalence of hypertension in Lima Puluh Kota Regency in 2022 reached 15% or 10,688 out of 70,250 people who took blood pressure measurements. However, only 627 people (11.8%) took blood pressure measurements and received hypertension services according to standards. Therefore, it is necessary to increase public knowledge about hypertension. This service activity was carried out in September 2023 through the emo-demo method, which expects health promotion efforts through an emotional approach. The service activities were carried out on 37 community members, and it was found that there was an increase in the average score of community knowledge from 51.56 to 90.63. An increase can follow this increase in community knowledge, attitudes, and actions toward efforts to prevent and control hypertension, including the prevention of complications of hypertension in the community.
