Abstract

Family Medicinal Plants (Tanaman Obat Keluarga/TOGA) have considerable potential to support promotive and preventive family health. However, limited community knowledge regarding their benefits, proper utilization, and safety often hinders optimal use at the household level. This community service activity aimed to provide education on the utilization of TOGA to support family health. A community-based educational program with a one-group pre-test and post-test design was conducted in Rawang Subdistrict on 17 August 2024, involving 30 participants. Educational sessions were delivered through interactive lectures and discussions covering the benefits, methods of use, and safety aspects of TOGA. Participants’ knowledge was assessed using a structured questionnaire administered before and after the intervention, and data were analyzed descriptively. The pre-test results indicated moderate to low baseline knowledge. Following the intervention, participants’ knowledge improved significantly, with mean scores increasing from 56.3% to 82.1% (an increase of 25.8 percentage points). The greatest improvements were observed in understanding preparation methods and safety considerations. These findings demonstrate that TOGA-based education effectively enhances community knowledge in supporting promotive and preventive family health. Integrating such educational programs into community health initiatives is essential to strengthen family-level health promotion and disease prevention.

Abstract

Marine bivalves, particularly the brown mussel Perna perna, constitute a significant source of high-quality protein and essential nutrients for human consumption. This study aimed to evaluate the biochemical composition, bacterial contamination, and growth dynamics of P. perna collected from two coastal locations, Al-Hami and Sharma, along the Gulf of Aden. Proximate analysis revealed that proteins constituted the primary component of mussel tissues, followed by moisture, with lipids, carbohydrates, and ash present in lower proportions. Significant spatial and temporal variations were observed in protein and ash contents (P < 0.05), reflecting the influence of environmental conditions and physiological factors on mussel biochemistry. The estimated energy content underscored the nutritional value of P. perna as a seafood resource. Microbiological assessments detected total coliforms and E. coli in both seawater and mussel tissues, with higher bacterial loads in specific locations, indicating localized contamination likely stemming from anthropogenic activities. Temporal fluctuations in bacterial abundance were also observed, correlating with environmental variables such as temperature and nutrient availability. Growth rate analysis demonstrated moderate variation over the study period, suggesting relatively stable environmental conditions. The integration of biochemical, microbiological, and growth data highlighted the impact of environmental variability on mussel physiology and microbial accumulation. These findings underscore the importance of continuous environmental monitoring to ensure seafood safety, promote sustainable fisheries, and support aquaculture development in coastal regions.

Abstract

The preparation of the land registry book is one of the land management instruments mandated by Regulation of the Province of West Sumatra Number 7 of 2023. This service activity aims to enhance the capacity of the Nagari Government and KAN in preparing the land registry book in Nagari Koto Tangah. The method used is Participatory Action Research, with stages including a data-based land inventory and need identification, stakeholder interviews, socialization, technical training, and evaluation through Focus Group Discussions and interviews. The success of the activity is evaluated based on participant participation levels, increased understanding of the Tambo Ulayat preparation mechanism, the ability to identify land management problems, and the achievement of consensus on the follow-up preparation of the land registry book through participatory methods. The results of the activity show that participants can identify the main issues, including unclear boundaries of customary land, the need for more systematic documentation of physical and legal data, and the importance of involving customary community leaders in the data collection process. This activity also produced technical guidelines for compiling the Customary Land Register. It established a joint commitment between the Local Government and the customary authority (KAN) to continue compiling the Customary Land Register as an initial step in administering customary land. These findings indicate that the PAR approach can support the strengthening of customary institutional capacity and local government administration in the participatory management of customary land. However, the long-term effectiveness of implementation still requires further evaluation.

Abstract

Good financial management is a crucial factor in supporting the sustainability of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). However, many MSMEs still face challenges in maintaining systematic bookkeeping, particularly in the textile industry. This Community Service activity aims to improve MSMEs' financial and digital literacy through training and mentoring in the use of the Sistem Informasi Aplikasi Pencatatan Informasi Keuangan (SIAPIK). The activity was held in Padang City and involved 10 MSME participants. The activity's implementation method included preparation, outreach, hands-on training, mentoring, and monitoring and evaluation. The results showed that 90% of participants successfully adopted the SIAPIK application, 80% were able to record transactions consistently, and produce simple financial reports. Furthermore, participants exhibited a substantial improvement in their understanding following the training, as evidenced by the marked increase in average pre- and post-test scores. This activity has proven effective in improving MSMEs' digital financial management skills. However, challenges remain in consistent application use, influenced by digital literacy levels and manual record-keeping habits. Therefore, ongoing support is needed to ensure that the implementation of the SIAPIK application can run optimally and sustainably.

Abstract

Stunting remains a serious public health issue in Indonesia, particularly among children under five years of age. One of the main causes of stunting is the lack of understanding and practice of balanced nutrition, especially among pregnant women and mothers with toddlers. This community service activity aims to improve the knowledge of pregnant women regarding balanced nutrition as an effort to prevent stunting. The implementation stages include preparation, execution, and monitoring and evaluation. The community service activity was carried out on August 27, 2025, in the working area of Bungus Health Center, Padang. The participants in the community service were 10 pregnant women. The activity lasted for 120 minutes, including a pre-test on pregnant women's knowledge of nutrition and pregnancy, blood sugar and hemoglobin tests to identify pregnancy complications, providing education on nutrition during pregnancy, and a post-test. The mean knowledge score increased from 7.10 before the intervention to 8.70 after the intervention. Statistical analysis using a paired t-test showed a significant improvement in knowledge (p = 0.005). These results indicate the need for periodic health education for pregnant women during antenatal visits, especially regarding pregnancy care related to meeting nutritional needs during pregnancy.

Abstract

Creative Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) often face operational and administrative constraints that impede their market survival. Redchic Accessories, a small business specializing in fashion accessories, experienced operational inefficiencies, irregular bookkeeping, and traditional marketing bottlenecks. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a university-led capacity-building program in improving business management, financial accountability, operational efficiency, and digital marketing of Redchic Accessories. Utilizing a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach across sequential planning, action, and reflection cycles, the team engaged the business owner and 3 key employees over a 4-month intervention period. The framework focused on instituting standardized operating procedures (SOPs), deploying digital bookkeeping ledger spreadsheets, and optimizing online storefront architectures. Quantitative operational monitoring revealed that the intervention minimized production cycle delays from a baseline of 4 days down to 1.5 days, reduced raw material wastage by 28%, achieved a 100% monthly financial recording completion rate, and drove an 18.5% growth in marketplace traffic. In conclusion, the participatory intervention substantially improved managerial practices and established a stronger foundation for sustainable business development.

Abstract

The transformation of State Vocational High Schools (SMK Negeri) into Regional Public Service Agencies (BLUD) in West Sumatra Province provides institutional flexibility to commercialize student-led products and services. However, most SMKN BLUD units experience critical limitations in market positioning, commercial branding, and structured distribution channels, which leads to suboptimal revenue generation. This community service project aims to resolve these commercial barriers by delivering integrated business analysis and strategic marketing intervention through a provincial sharing session and adaptive mentoring framework. Utilizing a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach across three structured cycles, the program engaged 43 SMKN school principals across West Sumatra in highly collaborative strategy formulations. The training focused on transitioning schools from conventional educational output mindsets toward professional market-driven orientation using corporate segmentation, targeting, positioning (STP), and the digital marketing mix. Quantitative evaluation via pre- and post-test instruments indicated a substantial 34.8% increase in participants' strategic comprehension (from a mean score of 62.1 to 83.7). Furthermore, the intervention successfully generated 43 preliminary digital marketing roadmaps and achieved a 92% participant satisfaction rate. In conclusion, embedding adaptive marketing strategies into vocational public service models effectively bridges the gap between educational innovation and market demand, creating a sustainable foundation for vocational financial independence.

Abstract

Adolescent mental health problems require early identification and school-based follow-up. This community service program aimed to map self-reported symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress and to deliver mental health education and Youth Mental Health Cadre orientation at SMK N 1 Lembah Gumanti. On May 28, 2025, 225 eleventh-grade students completed the Indonesian Depression Anxiety Stress Scales for Youth (IDASS-Y) and participated in face-to-face education, coping-skill demonstrations, and peer-support orientation. Screening data were analyzed descriptively. Symptoms above the normal category were identified for anxiety in 90 students (40.0%), depression in 56 (24.9%), and stress in 51 (22.7%). Moderate-to-extremely-severe categories were recorded in 54 students (24.0%) for anxiety, 34 (15.1%) for depression, and 28 (12.4%) for stress. The program delivered education and clarified cadres’ roles as peer educators and referral connectors. However, no pre-post assessment measured changes in literacy, stigma, behavior, or cadre competence. The findings support confidential follow-up for students with elevated scores, supervised peer support, and a formal referral pathway linking the school with primary care and mental health professionals. Future programs should include pre-post and follow-up evaluation.
