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

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

This training is important in utilizing the citronella owned by the farmer group with a land area of ​​approximately 4 Ha. So far, it has only been processed into oil with poor quality because it has higher water content. The oil results are sold by the kilo at a low selling price. In addition, the youth organization in Cibarani Village only has activities during national holidays. Hence, they lack the skills to optimize the potential of their area, which is rich in natural resources. The method used in this training is training and direct practice in making derivative products such as bar soap, dishwashing, hand soap, and detergent based on citronella. The training results are increased knowledge and skills of the farmer group and youth organization of Cibarani Village in optimizing citronella through derivative products with higher selling value.

Abstract

Nagari Cupak is a sub-district in Solok Regency with a big rice field that can be developed to increase farmers’ wealth. The development of rice field potential in Nagari Cupak can be conducted with agricultural extension to farmers. One of the outreach topics that can deliver to farmers is the importance of the efficient functioning of farmer groups (as a learning class, as production units, and as a place to cooperate). In this situation, the topic regarding conserving water and soil in rice fields for efficient rice production in Nagari Cupak is another one that may be discussed with farmers. The agricultural extension was carried out in Jorong Panyalai, Nagari Cupak, Gunung Talang District, on Thursday, 10 August 2023. The method used in community service is the lecture method. Furthermore, it continued with a question-and-answer session. The object of this community service is to join farmer groups in Nagari Cupak, which consists of 18 farmer groups. These activities showed that the farmers did not optimise the group’s function because they only used it as a gathering place. Farmer groups also shared the issues they frequently encountered, and solutions were offered. In addition, agricultural extension activities were continued with practice regarding soil and water conservation on land provided by the Nagari Cupak Government. The farmers’ persistence can be seen in their enthusiasm for this extension activity until the end of the extension. In order to enable farmers to practice soil and water conservation on their own, they also requested that Extension Officers continue to support them.

Abstract

The discovery of active compounds such as citronellol, citronellal, and geraniol in citronella grass (Cymbopogon nardus) opens new opportunities for using essential oils derived from this plant. These compounds are well-known for their aromatic properties and various benefits in the derivative product industry. Combining these three compounds presents immense potential for developing high-quality products such as soaps, aromatherapy, and pesticides. Community engagement activities were conducted in Cibarani Village, Lebak Regency, Banten. The fertile land in Cibarani Village is well-suited for cultivating citronella grass (C. nardus). The activities began with outreach and training sessions to educate the local community on the potential of C. nardus essential oil. This initiative aimed to equip the community with adequate knowledge and skills to process C. nardus oil into various derivative products. The derivative products introduced included botanical pesticides for controlling pests in cultivated plants. This information is particularly beneficial for the Mekar Rahayu Farmers Group, enhancing their knowledge and understanding of the potential of C. nardus essential oil as a botanical pesticide. It is hoped that the community will be able to produce botanical pesticides for personal use and sale to other farmers, thereby increasing their income. Simultaneously, the team also collected samples of citronella grass from Cibarani Village for distillation. The C. nardus oil obtained was analyzed using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) to identify the dominant compounds. The essential oil produced from citronella grass in Cibarani Village, based on GC-MS results, revealed the main components as geraniol at 25.53% with a retention time of 13.212 minutes, citronellol at 15.71% with a retention time of 12.694 minutes, and citronellal at 17.19% with a retention time of 11.422 minutes.

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

Nagari Ampek Koto Palembayan has a wealth of natural resources due to its fertile soil and favorable topography. However, with the existing potential, Nagari Ampek Koto Palembayan faces challenges in achieving sustainable development targets, especially in health, animal husbandry, plantations, and the economy. Health problems related to stunting in children, limited animal feed in the livestock sector, pathogen infections that attack banana plants in the plantation sector, and the low price of palm sugar in the economic sector are the main obstacles to improving community welfare. As a form of empowerment, the research team conducted a series of interventions designed to increase community awareness and knowledge on these issues. Socialization and education on nutrition for mothers of toddlers were conducted to reduce stunting rates, training on making animal feed based on agricultural waste aimed at increasing feed availability, and lectures on how to prevent pathogen infections in banana plants aimed at maintaining the sustainability of the plantation sector. In addition, the community was also trained to process palm sugar into a higher value-added product, namely ant sugar. The results of these activities showed an increased understanding of the importance of nutrition for children to prevent stunting and an understanding of agricultural waste management and ant sugar production, which also encouraged the community to utilize existing resources optimally.

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

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.
