Abstract

The Berkah Balai Baru Waste Bank was established on 20 November 2021. The waste management activity running at this Waste Bank is the waste deposit activity. Another program that has yet to be implemented is empowering waste bank officers and customers to make green bags to reduce plastic waste. Waste bank officers still need to gain the skills to create green bags. This service activity aims to increase people's insight into the dangers of plastic waste for environmental health and improve people's skills in making green bags. The educational methods used are persuasive communication, lectures, and two-way dialogue. During training, the method used is the product creation and practice training method; during activity mentoring, monitoring and evaluation of activities were carried out. This community service activity targets officers and customers of the Berkah Balai Baru waste bank. The results of the community service activities were that after carrying out the pre and post-test and comparing the score results, it was found that there was an increase in participants' knowledge by 29.9%, and there was participant enthusiasm, as shown by the feedback during the discussion session. Waste bank officers have been able to make shopping bags that can be used when shopping and can be a business opportunity for the Berkah Balai Baru Waste Bank. With this activity, waste bank officers have contributed to reducing plastic waste in the environment.

Abstract

Hypertension is often referred to as "the silent killer" because it often goes without complaints, so sufferers do not know that they have hypertension but then find that they already have a disease or complications from hypertension. Hypertension treatment or prevention can be done traditionally using Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA). TOGA is increasingly preferred because of its low side effects and is more suitable for various metabolic and degenerative diseases. An area with a high incidence of hypertension is the Dadok Tunggul Hitam Padang Community Health Center. The high incidence of hypertension in this area is because people do not comply with the diet of hypertensive patients and do not know the correct treatment methods. Thus, it is essential to educate people in the area about the treatment of hypertension using family medicinal plants. The activity was carried out on 28 July 2023 by conducting a pretest first to determine the community's understanding before providing intervention, then continuing with providing education and handing over Family Medicinal Plant (TOGA) seeds to hypertension patients and at the end of the session a posttest was carried out again. The results were that public knowledge before education was 65% and after education was 100%. There was increasing in knowledge scores because people were enthusiastic about participating in education. The suggestion for the community health center is to monitor the results of this education.

Abstract

Eco-enzyme is one of the solutions for waste organic management to become a higher-value product. As a tourist village, Kunjir village is one of the banana producers, where it needs help with garbage or banana waste from plantations. This waste can damage beauty and pollute the environment. Therefore, this engagement in community activity in waste organic management from banana peels is necessary to implement zero waste and a healthy environment. We aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of the local community in waste management. Banana peels become eco-enzyme and soap that contains eco-enzyme products. The eco-enzyme information was delivered first and then followed by practice or simulation. Twenty-five respondents were dominated by household wives, with ages 31-40 years as much as 36%, 41-50 years 28%, 51-60 years 25%, and 21-30 years 12%. According to the measurement of the initial score, 48% of respondents have good knowledge, and 92% have improved after following the training. We conclude that 44% of the total score of respondents was improved. Through this training, it is hoped that we can improve banana waste processing and improve our skills in processing eco-enzyme organic waste into a liquid rich in benefits, especially as a cleaning agent. This activity is essential in initiating waste management and implementing a healthy environment. Furthermore, it can encourage self-resilience and the development of a tourist village.

Abstract

The availability of clean water is a significant factor in ensuring human survival. When there is insufficient water to supply a population adequately, we say there is a water shortage. The water issue is impacting several metropolitan regions worldwide, including Indonesia. In Padang, 22 sub-districts are included in the list of slum sub-districts, including Pasar Ambacang. The current condition requires more community preparedness to face the water crisis. People must be adequately prepared for water crises or be taught how to use available water supplies efficiently. Increasing knowledge about community preparedness in facing the water crisis is essential because increasing public knowledge will increase community preparedness in facing the water crisis. The effort was carried out by distributing leaflets and giving lectures door to door. This exercise increased the percentage of the community prepared to deal with the water situation before and after receiving instruction. It can lessen the number of potential dangers and casualties during a disaster. If the community is prepared, it will be easier to carry out rescue actions when a disaster occurs.

Abstract

The research conducted by UNICEF in Indonesia in 2020 revealed that one in five girls is unaware of menstrual hygiene management. Taboos and stigma also limit the activities of female students during menstruation. Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) is the method of maintaining cleanliness and health for women during their menstrual cycle. The Ministry of Health is improving menstrual hygiene by implementing three aspects in the School Health Effort (Trias UKS), including health education, health services, and a healthy school environment. Community service activities were conducted at the Elementary School of SDN 47 Korong Gadang, Padang City, on 3 June 2022. The number of participants was 30 students from the 4th and 5th grades. Education was delivered through lectures and discussions, supported by visual aids such as slides and leaflets. The evaluation used pretests and post-tests to determine whether there was an improvement in students' knowledge. After the education session, it was found that 60% of the students had acquired a high level of knowledge regarding menstrual hygiene management. The results of this community service can serve as a lesson that education related to personal hygiene during menstruation is crucial. It is because some female students, while menstruating, experience bullying from male students and encounter obstacles in practicing menstrual hygiene at school.

Abstract

The Lecturer Team from Economics and Business, Siliwangi University, conducted Community Service Activities (PPM) for the youth and PKK groups in Putrapinggan Village, Pangandaran Regency, in May 2023. The engagement service had the theme of applying science and technology, which aims to transfer knowledge and technology from experts in household waste management in organic and inorganic waste based on bioconversion and a circular economy. Problems encountered after discussions with partners can be identified, such as partner problems in handling household waste that need to be correctly optimized. This PPM was carried out using training methods and mini-workshops, mentoring, strengthening, and collaboration, which were carried out continuously. Organic waste management utilized bioconversion technology from Black Soldier Fly (BSF) maggots. Meanwhile, socializing the application of circular economy principles in the form of the principles of reduction, reuse, recycling, recovery, and repair was an effort that the team can make to the community to support government programs in efforts to handle sustainable inorganic waste. The implementation of this service has had a direct impact in the form of increasing residents' insight regarding waste handling literacy, increasing awareness and concern regarding household waste management, and indirect impacts, namely improving health levels and increasing residents' economic capacity.

Abstract

Bhakti Kencana University (BKU) community service activities were conducted in Girimekar Village, Bandung Regency. This activity involved BKU lecturers from various disciplines, such as Midwifery, Nursing, Public Health, and Pharmacy. This activity was carried out by forming a medical team, which was an effort to empower the community, especially the youth of the local group. This activity aims to socialize emergency treatment measures that must be carried out as soon as possible before residents are taken to the community health center or hospital. This will help the community care more about their health. Girimekar Village has topography and land contours in the form of highlands and lowlands at an altitude of between 400 meters above sea level and 600 meters above sea level, with an average temperature ranging from 19°C to 37°C. Girimekar Village consists of 5 hamlets, 22 RWs, and 79 RTs. Based on the topography, most areas outside the forest area are slopes or peaks with varying heights. Most RWs are located outside forest areas. Conditions like this are the background for the formation of this medical team. The method for forming a medical team was carried out by identifying the number of young people in the area and then carrying out preliminary outreach by educating them about the importance of emergency treatment before residents are taken to the hospital. After the socialization, the medical team was given training on first aid in the form of basic life support. The formation of the medical team was carried out by first identifying the number of youth.

Abstract

So far, the learning strategy implemented in schools is still widespread, providing all students with the same educational treatment and services. These students have different levels of skills, intelligence, interests, and talents. Therefore, early identification is needed to detect children's learning potential and problems. The results of the identification can later be used by teachers in implementing learning processes that suit the characteristics of students. The method used in identification is an intelligence test using the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale and Culture Fair Intelligence Scale instruments. In contrast, the method used in conveying examination results is lectures and discussions with parents and teachers regarding the characteristics of children with special needs and appropriate services and education. The identification results found that one student (1.56%) was in the immobile category, seven students (10.94%) were in the debilitated category, 13 students (20.31%) were in the borderline category, 15 students (23.44%) were in the low average category, 22 students (34.38%) were in the average category, and six students (9.38%) were in the high average category. This activity had been carried out well. Through discussions and counseling, parents and teachers gained an understanding of treatment and educational services that suit the characteristics of each child. In the future, follow-up activities will likely be related to evaluating learning strategies and student abilities.
