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

Diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2 is a non-communicable disease, and the incidence continues to increase. Various factors can increase the incidence of type 2 DM, but many people lack the awareness to determine risk factors and the efforts that need to be made to reduce the risk of type 2 DM. This community service aims to conduct health examinations and determine the risk level of DM type 2 in Sungai Buluh, Padang Pariaman, West Sumatra. This community service activity includes health examination, determining risk levels of risk type 2 DM, and personal education to reduce the risk of type 2 DM. The instrument used to determine the risk of type 2 DM is the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC). Type 2 DM screening showed that most people had a slightly increased risk 37 people (45.6%), low-risk 26 people (32.1%), high-risk 13 people (16.1%) and very high-risk five people (6.2%). It is hoped that health centers will carry out risk level screening and education on reducing the risk of type 2 DM as a planned and structured activity to increase public awareness to prevent and reduce the risk of type 2 DM.

Abstract

The issue of stunting is a global problem that has become the focus of the government's efforts to address it. Based on observations of the nutritional status of toddlers at Posyandu Harapan Ibu, 6 out of 149 toddlers, ten are experiencing stunting, accounting for approximately 6.71% of the total number of toddlers. An initial survey conducted by the community engagement team among ten mothers with toddlers in the Posyandu Harapan Ibu 6 area revealed that most (80%) of these mothers lack knowledge regarding stunting, its prevention, management, and associated risks. The Mata Air area in Padang City, which is part of Posyandu Harapan Ibu 6, has a relatively high prevalence of stunting. However, the potential of family backyard spaces in this area has yet to be optimally utilized. This community engagement initiative aims to enhance the use of family backyard spaces as a source of nutrition for families to prevent stunting. The method employed involves educating local volunteers about the benefits of family backyard spaces as an alternative source of family food, followed by the distribution of plant seeds and planting media. The results of the outreach activities indicate that (1) participants respond to the outreach activities with enthusiasm and vigor, (2) Participants actively engage and proactively participate in the outreach process, and (3) Participants have initiated the implementation of recommendations by utilizing family backyard spaces as a source of food and nutrition for their families by planting the provided plant seeds. This community engagement effort represents a positive endeavor to prevent stunting in the Mata Air area.

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of cybersex behavior among adolescents presents a growing concern, with potential risks to their physical and mental health. The ease of access and low cost associated with this behavior contribute to its proliferation. Based on interviews with students from X High School in Pariaman, it was found that a significant portion of the student population accesses pornography on the internet when exposed to online advertisements and during casual browsing. The primary objective of this initiative is to nurture a generation of digitally aware youth by enhancing their knowledge and shaping healthier attitudes regarding cybersex. The location of the activities was SMA X Pariaman City. A combination of active and passive approaches was employed. Active methods involved delivering lectures with prepared materials and informative video presentations. Passively, students were provided with informational leaflets and banners placed strategically in the school environment. Pre-test and post-test questionnaires were administered to gauge the effectiveness of the materials and videos in influencing participants' knowledge and attitudes. Statistical analysis, including the Wilcoxon test and Gain Score, reveals a notable increase in expertise and confirms the effectiveness of the counseling efforts. In summary, this program effectively enhances knowledge and attitudes about cybersex among adolescents, marking a significant step in addressing this pressing issue.

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

Bridge infrastructure is critical in connecting one region with other areas separated by rivers or ravines. In Minangkabau, a type of bridge is built using the Ba Atok Bridge roof. This bridge structure is characterised by pointed roof-like buffalo horns, where the Minangkabau people are known as Gonjong. The remaining Ba Atok Bridge is located in Padang City, specifically in Guo Village, Jalan Lubuak Tampuruang, Kuranji Village, Kuranji District, Padang City, with a bridge length of 16 meters. The community needs the Ba Atok Bridge as a bridge to cross the river to gardens, schools, madrasas, mosques, and other villages. Its unique shape has charm, and this is one of the cultural heritage assets that must be maintained as a characteristic bridge between the nuances of traditional Minangkabau culture. Therefore, the Community Service Team of the Faculty of Engineering, Andalas University, is also collaborating with the Tourism Awareness Group (POKDARWIS), which also has the same initiative, namely carrying out bridge restoration with traditional Minangkabau cultural nuances. Restoration begins with identifying damage, discussing it with community groups, making an architectural design, submitting a proposal to Bank Nagari, and repairing the bridge's upper frame. The Ba Atokini bridge restoration activities impact crossing access and have become characteristic of the Guo Tourism Village, which POKDARWIS manages.

Abstract

There are still many plant species that the public currently needs to be made aware. It is because the uses of plants still need to be well explored, which has left them with little practical usefulness. The potential of these plants can be utilized as a tool in educational media and as items with creative and unique value in the commercial sector. Carnivorous plants are among them. In addition to having unique shapes, art enthusiasts can use this plant to turn their interests and skills into terrarium products. TERRAVOR is an innovative terrarium product with carnivorous plants as the main ingredient. This product specializes in carnivorous plants found in the Sumatra region to educate the public regarding the sustainable use of these plants and their status in nature so that the use value of these plants can be maintained for an extended period. This workshop aims to educate the public, especially a society of nature-themed art lovers, about the sustainable use of carnivorous plants. This one-day workshop involved a society interested in terrarium techniques and the uniqueness of carnivorous plants. In this workshop, participants consisting of 13 people who have natural-themed artistic talent were introduced to the ins and outs of carnivorous plants, their conservation status, how to cultivate them in terrarium conditions, and their care. The results of this workshop showed that the number of participants' understanding of the importance of carnivorous plants increased. In addition, participants know more about how to use it sustainably without destroying its natural populations.

Abstract

The risk of various degenerative diseases is more experienced by older adults than young people. One of the most common health problems among the elderly is hypertension. Delays in treating hypertensive patients are caused by the majority of patients only coming to health facilities after experiencing complications and lack of access to public health services. The incidence of dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus (DM) also continues to grow, which are risk factors for coronary heart disease. For this reason, promotive and preventive efforts for the elderly group are significant through increasing knowledge and understanding of degenerative diseases. The community service partner is the Banpres Pololo Community Health Center, one of the community health centers in Sigi Regency with high cases of degenerative diseases, and the target of community service is the elderly in Uenuni Palolo village. Implementing the activity was health education about hypertension, DM, and dyslipidemia, health screening, and health counseling. The screening results found that 94.12% of older adults suffered from hypertension, 17.65% suffered from DM, and 52.94% suffered from hypercholesterolemia. Health counseling results show that most older adults did not understand the importance of early detection of degenerative diseases. Therefore, health education and counseling for the community still need to be improved.

Abstract

Stunting, a persistent global nutritional issue from inadequate care and nutritional intake, becomes evident when a child ages two. Tanah Datar recorded a 21.5% stunting rate in 2022, prompting a targeted service to enhance the literacy of pregnant women, mothers of toddlers, and cadres about the critical first 1000 days of life. Utilizing an interactive game, Emotional Demonstration, and drawing on four modules from the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), the service employed printed modules and game equipment. Held on 10 June 2023 at Wali Nagari Pandai Sikek Hall, the event gathered 20 participants, including pregnant women, mothers, cadres, and X Koto Community Health Center officers. Activities commenced with a pre-test, followed by interactive game-based education, and concluded with a post-test. The community service positively contributed to increased health literacy and awareness in the first 1000 days, validated by significant T-test results (p-value = 0.001), indicating a substantial knowledge improvement post-intervention.

Abstract

Community service was conducted at the Balai Gadang Sapan livestock group in the Rambatan sub-district, Tanah Datar district. This group's businesses are beef cattle breeding and organic fertilizer processing. The problem with group businesses is that management and business knowledge still need to be higher. Group members still need help to apply management and business principles in managing the business. This community engagement aims to develop the Balai Gadang Sapan group business by increasing the performance and productivity of the beef cattle breeding and organic fertilizer processing business (UPPO) through implementing management aspects in the group business. The methods for carrying out activities were lectures, discussions, mentoring, and demonstrations. The stage carried out in implementing those four methods was the preparation stage, namely preparing material related to completing the solution in the form of PowerPoint, modules, banners, and leaflets. At the implementation stage, modules were distributed to participants, and the material was later. The evaluation stage involved participants filling out a prepared questionnaire. This evaluation was carried out to determine the group's ability to implement management aspects. The results of this activity were five essential aspects that must be applied in group management: making plans consisting of learning and business planning, organizing, and carrying out activities, evaluating business activities, and cadre of management. The group's ability to apply management aspects can be improved at the intermediate and primary levels.
