Abstract

Appropriate complementary feeding (CF) is essential for promoting optimal child growth and development while preventing malnutrition, stunting, and other long-term health problems. However, mothers often encounter challenges in providing appropriate complementary foods, partly due to limited access to accurate nutrition information. Community health volunteers (cadres) play a strategic role in delivering health education to families. This community engagement program aimed to strengthen the capacity of community health volunteers as behaviour change agents through an integrated intervention consisting of cadre training, complementary feeding education, cooking demonstrations, and household mentoring. Eight cadres from Korong Gadang Integrated Health Posts, Kuranji Health Center, Padang, participated in a structured training program consisting of lectures, focus group discussions, and cooking demonstrations on complementary feeding. Cadres' knowledge was assessed before and after the training using a 10-item questionnaire. Following the training, cadres provided health education to mothers in their respective communities. The findings indicate that the training effectively improved cadres' knowledge and strengthened their capacity to provide complementary feeding education. In addition, education delivered by trained cadres contributed to improved maternal knowledge regarding optimal complementary feeding practices. This community engagement program demonstrated that strengthening community health volunteers through behaviour change intervention improved cadres’ knowledge and enhanced their capacity to provide complementary feeding education. Furthermore, cadre-led education contributed to improved maternal knowledge regarding optimal complementary feeding practices. Empowering community health volunteers represents a feasible community-based strategy to increase access to evidence-based complementary feeding information.

Abstract

Chronic diseases require continuous community-based support that addresses patients’ biological, psychological, social, spiritual, and cultural needs. However, health cadres may have limited capacity to provide comprehensive assistance beyond physical health monitoring. This community service program aimed to strengthen health cadres’ capacity to apply a Holistic Care approach in supporting patients with chronic diseases and their families in Keramat Village, Martapura, South Kalimantan. The program involved 10 health cadres and 24 patients with chronic diseases and their families and was implemented through community empowerment, Holistic Care education, interactive training, case simulation, pocketbook-based guidance, digital documentation, and one-month home-based mentoring. Cadres’ knowledge was evaluated using a one-group pre-test–post-test design and analyzed descriptively. All cadres demonstrated increased post-test scores, with pre-test scores ranging from 35-80 and post-test scores from 75-100. Individual score increases ranged from 5 to 40 points, with a mean absolute increase of 21.2 points. The evaluation demonstrated an increase in health cadres’ knowledge following the program. However, the program did not assess cadres’ practical competency or patients’ quality of life using validated measures. The program supports continued cadre training, supervision, referral mechanisms, and direct evaluation of patient outcomes in future implementation.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to strengthen community energy resilience in Batu Busuk, Limau Manis, Pauh District, Padang City, West Sumatra, an area vulnerable to flash floods and electricity disruptions. The program was implemented in partnership with the Palito Nyalo Minangkabau Traditional Arts and Cultural Community and involved 23 participants in total, comprising the Universitas Andalas implementation team and members of the partner community. Conducted in a two-hour session, the program introduced a 2400 VAh portable Solar PV Power Station as an alternative electricity source for essential community activities during grid outages. The technology, adapted from a Universitas Andalas research output, integrates solar charging, lithium battery storage, a pure sine-wave inverter, AC 220 V and DC outputs, and a monitoring system. Activities consisted of socialization, technical presentations, practical guidance, technology demonstration, and technology handover. The demonstration covered system operation, charging, monitoring, and safe utilization of AC/DC outputs. The activity provided participants with practical exposure and an initial understanding of the use and management of solar-based backup energy for social, cultural, communication, and emergency activities. However, the evaluation was primarily qualitative and did not include systematic pre-test and post-test measurements or long-term monitoring of system performance. Continued mentoring, quantitative evaluation, and utilization monitoring are therefore recommended to support sustainable technology adoption. The program demonstrates a practical pathway for translating university research into community-based renewable-energy solutions for post-disaster resilience.

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, including in Indonesia, with low physical activity (PA) as an important modifiable risk factor. The Jakarta Cardiovascular Score (JAKVAS), adapted from the Framingham Risk Score, incorporates PA to better reflect cardiovascular risk in the Indonesian population. This study evaluated the relationship between PA level and cardiovascular risk based on JAKVAS among adults in a rural community in West Sumatra, Indonesia. This cross-sectional study included 40 adults participating in a community health screening. Data were collected using structured questionnaires for JAKVAS components and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Participants were classified into low–moderate PA (LMPA) and high PA (HPA) groups. Differences between groups were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney U test. HPA was more common among males (83.3%; p=0.003). Smoking and menopausal status were significantly associated with PA level (both p=0.003), whereas hypertension and diabetes mellitus were not. Median JAKVAS was higher in the LMPA group than in the HPA group (6 [0–15] vs. 4 [1–8]; p=0.066). Higher PA tended to be associated with lower cardiovascular risk, although the association was not statistically significant.

Abstract

The nature tourism development is often confronted with a dilemma between economic exploitation and environmental preservation. This study aims to formulate and evaluate the "Integrating Concept of CD, CBET, and Sustainability" as an environmentally conscious tourism management strategy rooted in local wisdom. The approach employed is Participatory Action Research (PAR), implemented through a three-stage intervention of training and mentoring (FGDs and workshops) for the Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis) and MSE actors at Wisata Alam Tapian Tabiang Barasok. This initiative also integrates cross-border knowledge spillover through an academic collaboration with Universiti Putra Malaysia. The results demonstrate that the bottom-up governance approach successfully confirm to enhances the management literacy and human resource capacity of Pokdarwis. This is evidenced by the formulation of vision-mission documents, organizational Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and an approximate 20% increase in the community's economic potential. The findings  suggest a potential relationship wherein CD serves as the driving instrument for CBET, acts as a core process catalyst to achieve the macro goals of Sustainability.

Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and hyperuricemia are a rising health burden in Indonesia, yet rural health cadres (kader Poskesri), who act as frontline community health promoters, rarely undergo routine blood profile screening themselves. A free health screening was conducted for 13 Poskesri health cadres in Nagari Taeh Baruah on 30 July 2026. Random blood glucose, total cholesterol, and uric acid were measured using a point-of-care enzymatic stick-test analyzer with capillary blood samples. Data were analyzed descriptively (mean ± standard deviation) and classified against standard clinical thresholds. The mean random blood glucose was 120.3 ± 58.8 mg/dL, total cholesterol 198.5 ± 24.3 mg/dL, and uric acid 5.8 ± 2.3 mg/dL. One participant (7.7%) showed markedly elevated glucose consistent with diabetes, six (46.2%) had borderline-high cholesterol, and four (30.8%) had hyperuricemia. Most cadres showed normal metabolic profiles, but a notable proportion had borderline or elevated cholesterol and uric acid, highlighting the need for sustained NCD screening and lifestyle education among health cadres as role models for the wider community.

Abstract

The integration of digital technology into elementary education requires teachers to develop practical skills in utilizing interactive learning media. However, the use of game-based learning platforms at SD Islam Madinaturramlah Banjarmasin remained limited. This community service activity aimed to support elementary school teachers in utilizing Kahoot! as an interactive digital learning medium. The program involved approximately 16 participants and was implemented through preparation, material delivery, platform demonstration, hands-on practice, and evaluation using pre-test and post-test assessments. During the training, participants were guided to develop interactive quizzes and simulate their use in classroom learning. The evaluation recorded 16 pre-test responses with an average score of 99.38 and 15 post-test responses with an average score of 89.33. The difference in scores should be interpreted cautiously because the two assessments emphasized different levels of knowledge and practical application. Observations during the training indicated that participants actively engaged in discussions and were able to develop and simulate Kahoot!-based quizzes. These findings suggest that hands-on training can provide practical experience for teachers in integrating game-based digital learning media into elementary school learning activities. Further evaluation using equivalent assessment instruments is recommended to measure changes in teachers' competencies more accurately.

Abstract

Wood-processing activities involve occupational hazards associated with cutting equipment, wood dust, machine noise, wood particles, and unsafe workplace conditions. Initial observations among woodworkers in Alalak Tengah, Banjarmasin, indicated inconsistent use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and safe-working procedures. This community service program aimed to strengthen workers’ knowledge and practical awareness of occupational health and safety (OHS). The activities included OHS education, hazard identification, PPE demonstrations and hands-on practice, safe-working procedures, workplace housekeeping, discussion, and pre-test–post-test evaluation. The evaluation produced 15 pre-test responses and 14 post-test responses. Because participant identities were not recorded for matching, the results were analyzed descriptively at the group level. The mean score increased slightly from 93.33 to 94.90, while improvements were observed particularly in eye-protection knowledge and first-aid procedures for cuts. The high baseline score suggests a possible ceiling effect that limited the instrument’s ability to detect further change. Overall, the activity provided practical opportunities for participants to identify occupational hazards, select appropriate PPE, and discuss safer working practices relevant to small-scale wood processing.

Abstract

Non-communicable disease prevention requires health education and safe, competency-based approaches. In response to an identified educational need for introductory acupressure training in collaboration with Home Care Keluarga Sehat, this community service activity aimed to assess changes in nursing graduates’ acupressure knowledge, describe their post-training practical performance, and introduce potential future entrepreneurship pathways. Ten nursing graduates from Poltekkes Kemenkes Padang participated in a three-day training program involving instruction, demonstrations, supervised practice, pretest–posttest knowledge assessment, post-training skills evaluation, and mentoring. Two certified acupressure nurses from Home Care Keluarga Sehat facilitated the technical training. Knowledge was assessed using 25 multiple-choice questions before and after training, while practical performance was evaluated using a 25-item observational checklist after training. Mean knowledge scores increased from 61.6 ± 11.50 to 96.0 ± 4.22, a mean increase of 34.4 points (p < 0.001). The mean post-training practical skills score was 94.2 ± 7.39, with 70% of participants scoring at least 90. These results describe immediate knowledge-test change and performance at the final skills assessment; skills improvement cannot be inferred because baseline skills were not assessed. Entrepreneurship was introduced as a potential future pathway, but entrepreneurial competence and business outcomes were not measured.
