Abstract

Training in social media and financial literacy is crucial for enhancing the capabilities of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), especially traditional craft businesses like Sulaman and Silver Cici Koto Gadang MSME. The objective of this study is to examine the impact of these training programs on attitude formation, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control, as outlined by the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Through a qualitative approach involving participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and pre- and post-tests, the study reveals significant improvements in participants' ability to manage digital marketing and understand financial risks, particularly concerning illegal online loans. The results suggest that positive attitudes toward social media as a strategic marketing tool are emerging, along with a deeper understanding of financial management and the identification of illegal lending practices. Stronger perceived behavioral control, as demonstrated by increased post-test scores, encourages MSMEs to adopt safer financial practices and sustain digital marketing efforts. Overall, this study confirms that integrated interventions are effective. These interventions combine digital skills training and financial literacy. They effectively strengthen MSME resilience and competitiveness in the digital economy.

Abstract

The increasing complexity of criminal cases in West Java necessitates a critical upgrade in the competency of Indonesian National Police (Polri) investigators regarding the application of Scientific Crime Investigation (SCI) principles. A significant gap has been identified in the integrated forensic evidence handling skills (digital, biological, and chemical) at the Sub-Regional Police Resort (Polres) level, potentially compromising the accountability of criminal proceedings. This training program aimed to enhance the capacity of 40 investigators from the Jabar region through a comprehensive, integrated forensic training course. The 5-day program (September 15-19, 2025) was conducted in collaboration with the National Police's Forensic Laboratory Center (Puslabfor Bareskrim Polri), utilizing a Pretest-Posttest design and a hands-on simulation methodology. Evaluation results demonstrated an average competency score increase of 48.57% (from 55.8 to 82.9), significantly exceeding the minimum target of 25%. The most drastic improvement was observed in the Digital Forensics module (79.57%). Practically, 92.5% of participants showed enhanced technical proficiency in applying the integrated Chain of Custody (CoC) protocol. The participant satisfaction level reached 94% (4.7 out of 5.0). This training proved highly effective in bridging the competency gap, strengthening science-based investigative administration, and supporting the establishment of an accountable criminal justice system. The adoption of technical guidelines and the implementation of a sustained program are recommended for follow-up.

Abstract

Hospitals are not systematically designed to detect service errors as in non-healthcare products, thus increasing risks to patient safety. RSUD Sadikin in Pariaman City, which has been operating for only seven years, has not yet established mechanisms or training to detect service errors. This community service activity aimed to enhance managerial competence in managing the risk of healthcare service errors through the application of Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA). The activity was conducted in the form of a workshop involving 30 participants from top, middle, and lower management levels in Oktober-November 2025 at Sadikin Hospital. FMEA competence was assessed before and after the workshop using a paired t-test. The results showed that the mean pre-test score was 70.67 (SD±17.604) and the post-test score was 84.67 (SD±14.794), with an improvement of 14.00 points (SD±14.004), which was statistically significant (p=0.000). These findings indicate that the FMEA workshop effectively improved participants’ managerial competence in early detection and mitigation of service risks. Follow-up mentoring is recommended to evaluate the sustainability of training effects at 3, 6, and 9 months after the activity.

Abstract

Unhealthy breakfast and snack habits are still common among school-aged children and can lead to decreased concentration, weakened immunity, and poor digestion. This education-based program aims to increase students' and parents' knowledge and awareness regarding nutritious breakfasts and the selection of safe and healthy snacks. This activity was carried out at SDN 04 Kampung Olo, Padang, involving students, parents, and teachers. Activities included interactive nutrition education, guided breakfast sessions, demonstrations on identifying healthy snacks, and knowledge assessments using ore-post-tests. The results showed an increase in knowledge with the average student score increasing from 31.7 to 32.6 and the parent score from 29.6 to 30.4. Positive behavioral changes were also observed, including more consistent breakfast consumption, a better understanding of the criteria for healthy snacks, increased hand washing practices before eating, and an increase in parents' ability to prepare balanced meals and support healthy eating habits at home. These results indicate that school- and family-based nutrition education can effectively strengthen knowledge and encourage healthier dietary behaviors. Ongoing collaboration between schools, families, and health professionals is recommended to encourage long-term healthy eating habits and improve the well-being of school-aged children.

Abstract

Padang City produces over 660 tons of waste each day, and more than 60% of it is organic. Most of this ends up at the Air Dingin landfill, which has long exceeded its capacity and still operates through open dumping. While Black Soldier Fly (BSF; Hermetia illucens) larvae have attracted growing research attention as an organic waste processor, studies combining BSF bioconversion with biodrying (TOSS) and digital market development within a single community-scale program are scarce. This study reports the implementation and evaluation of such an integrated program, carried out with the Smarkgood Farmer Group in Kota Padang. Working through a participatory action framework, the team executed five sequential stages: partner identification, knowledge dissemination, technical training, technology application, and field mentoring. Key interventions included constructing BSF biopond units, providing a waste shredder calibrated to optimal larval substrate size, introducing the TOSS biodrying method for residual organic material, building a waste supply partnership with the Padang BSF Maggot Association (Agodang), and guiding the group through e-commerce onboarding. Following these interventions, the group operated a more functional and productive facility, maintained a stable organic waste supply, and actively sold products through online platforms. This program illustrates how science-based bioconversion technology, waste valorization, and digital market access can be combined into a community model that is practically transferable to other urban settings facing similar waste pressures.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to enhance the capacity of beekeepers in colony management and methods for propagating galo-galo bee colonies within the Bangun Sejahtera Indonesia (BSI) honey bee cultivation group. The background to this activity is the high rate of extinction of partner galo-galo colonies. The high rate of colony collapse has a significant impact on the economy of beekeepers, a decline in their honey production, as well as ecological consequences in the surrounding area, including a decline in pollinators. The activity was carried out through training, which began with an information session on factors that support colony survival, such as sufficient plant vegetation, anticipation of predator attacks, and optimal colony maintenance management. The main achievement of this activity was that approximately 60% of the ten trap boxes installed during training were successfully colonized by new galo-galo colonies within four weeks. This result demonstrates that the training improved beekeepers’ knowledge and skills in caring for colonies and installing trap boxes, which directly increased the number of colonies owned by beekeepers. Additionally, the success of colony acquisition through trap boxes can reduce the felling of trees where galo-galo nest in the wild, one tree for one colony.

Abstract

Stunting is a critical public health issue in Indonesia. Despite various nutrition programs, the utilization of nutritious local foods, such as Moringa oleifera leaves, has not been maximized due to limited public awareness and inadequate education. This activity aims to increase public knowledge of the nutritional content and benefits of Moringa leaves for preventing stunting, and to provide training in processing Moringa into healthy foods. Methods: The activity was conducted on October 4, 2025, in Gantiang Village, Padang Panjang City. The target group comprised housewives, health care workers, and caregivers of toddlers. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests, as well as surveys of participant satisfaction and interest. Results: Following the educational and processing demonstration, participants' knowledge increased significantly; the program was deemed highly beneficial, and most expressed interest in incorporating Moringa leaf preparations into their family menus. Conclusion: Education and training in Moringa leaf processing have been effective in increasing public knowledge and interest in using Moringa as a nutritious food, thereby potentially supporting efforts to prevent stunting. For sustainability, it is recommended that this program be integrated into integrated health posts (Posyandu) and that further training be conducted to ensure that Moringa leaf consumption becomes a regular part of family eating habits.

Abstract

Padang frequently experiences flash and regular floods, resulting in material losses and casualties. Batu Busuk, due to its geographical characteristics, is highly prone to flash floods, making community preparedness essential for disaster risk reduction. To strengthen mitigation efforts, a focused group discussion (FGD) was conducted on 15 September 2023 with nine community leaders. The discussion generated three themes: the impact of the January 23, 2023 flash flood, challenges in previous disaster management, and future plans for flood mitigation. The FGD highlighted the need to increase community awareness, enhance emergency response skills, and provide adequate evacuation routes and facilities. As a follow-up, disaster mitigation education was delivered to 40 households through sessions at the local mushala and door-to-door visits, aiming to improve residents’ knowledge and preparedness. The study recommends empowering community leaders to implement disaster management plans, expanding mitigation education, facilitating structural measures, developing early warning systems, and conducting evacuation and first aid training for flash flood victims.

Abstract

This community service program aims to strengthen the resilience of coastal communities in Purus Village, Padang City, a high-risk tsunami red zone, by implementing the UNESCO-IOC Tsunami Ready Community indicators. The project was driven by the urgent need to transform the community's fatalistic perception of disasters into a proactive and prepared mindset. The methodology employed a participatory approach through socialization, Focus Group Discussions, and community-led evacuation mapping, involving various local stakeholders such as the Disaster Preparedness Group and the Tsunami Ready Community forum. The results indicate a significant increase in disaster literacy, with participants' ability to identify early warning signs and evacuation routes rising from 35% to 85%. Furthermore, all 12 Tsunami Ready indicators were successfully addressed, including the development of participatory evacuation routes and the establishment of a localized early warning communication system. This program demonstrates that community-based disaster mitigation, supported by social capital and clear institutional coordination, is essential for building sustainable resilience in vulnerable coastal areas.
