Abstract

Public administration is a series of activities carried out by the government in order to provide services to the community. The successful implementation of public administration is greatly influenced by the correct understanding and application of public administration concepts. This research aims to increase understanding and application of public administration concepts in the implementation of administration at the Pulau Pekan Village Office, Bungo Regency, Jambi, Indonesia. The method for implementing community service used in this activity is a workshop on strengthening the concept of public administration in the implementation of government administration in Pulau Pekan Village, Bungo Regency, Jambi. The results of the activity show that the understanding and application of public administration concepts at the Pulau Pekan Village Office still needs to be improved. This can be seen from the existence of several problems in administrative implementation, such as a lack of understanding of the principles of public administration, a lack of implementation of standard administrative procedures, and a lack of coordination between work units. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to strengthen the concept of public administration at the Pulau Pekan Village Office. This strengthening can be carried out through various activities, such as training, mentoring, and improving facilities and infrastructure.

Abstract

Village funds are one of the Indonesian government's programs to improve the development and welfare of village communities. However, complex village fund management often becomes an obstacle for village officials who have limited capacity. This community service aims to build the capacity of the Rantau Pandan Village community to manage village funds by implementing a public administration assistance model. This mentoring model includes training, mentoring, and monitoring and evaluation. The results of the activity show that the public administration assistance model is effective in increasing the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of village officials in managing village funds. This capacity building is expected to increase accountability and transparency in village fund management, as well as encourage more effective and efficient village development.

Abstract

Effective village governance is an important foundation for sustainable development at the local level. However, many villages in Indonesia, including Sungai Arang Hamlet in Jambi, still face challenges in terms of governance, which can be seen from weak administrative systems, lack of transparency, and low capacity of village officials. This research uses a participatory community service approach which involves a series of activities, including: (1) Identifying village problems and needs through focus group discussions (FGD) and in-depth interviews; (2) Development of standard operating procedures (SOP) for various aspects of village administration; (3) Training and capacity building for village officials regarding SOP implementation; (4) Assistance and monitoring of SOP implementation; and (5) Evaluation of program impact. The research results show a significant improvement in village governance after program implementation. The developed SOPs have helped improve the efficiency and effectiveness of public services, increase transparency and accountability, and strengthen public participation in decision-making. In addition, the capacity of village officials has also increased, reflected in a better understanding of their duties and responsibilities, as well as a better ability to carry out administrative tasks. In conclusion, this community service program has made a positive contribution in strengthening village governance in Sungai Arang Hamlet. Developing SOPs and increasing the capacity of village officials has proven effective in improving the quality of public service s, transparency, and accountability. This research recommends that this community service model can be replicated in other villages that have similar problems.

Abstract

Optimal dental and oral health is an important aspect in children's growth and development. However, in remote areas such as South Misool, Raja Ampat, access to dental health information and services is still limited. This encourages the need for community service to increase awareness and practice of maintaining dental and oral health in children. This community service was carried out at SD Negeri 15 Fafanlap involving 120 students in grades 1-6. The methods used include: (1) interactive education about dental and oral health, (2) demonstration and training on correct tooth brushing practices, (3) distribution of free brushes and toothpaste, (4) simple dental examinations, and (5) monitoring periodically for 6 months. After the intervention, there was a significant increase in students' knowledge about dental and oral health. The ability to brush teeth properly also increases rapidly, as indicated by a reduction in dental plaque. In addition, positive behavioral changes occurred with increased frequency of tooth brushing and use of fluoride toothpaste. This community service succeeded in increasing awareness, knowledge and practice of maintaining oral health among children at SD Negeri 15 Fafanlap. It is hoped that the continuation of the program and replication in other areas will have a wider impact on the dental and oral health of Indonesian children.

Apart from that, there was an increase in the nutritional status of infants and toddlers after the intervention. Assistance in strengthening MPASI education has proven to be effective in increasing mothers' knowledge, skills and attitudes towards providing MPASI. This program is recommended for replication in other communities that have similar proble ms.

Abstract

Focused assessment sonography for trauma (FAST) is a rapid bedside ultrasound examination crucial for the initial assessment of trauma patients. This study reports on a community service initiative aimed at improving FAST competency among young doctors at Dr. H. Abdul Moeloek General Hospital, Bandarlampung, Indonesia. A mixed-methods approach was employed. The program included: 1) A pre-training assessment of FAST knowledge and skills. 2) A structured FAST training curriculum with didactic lectures, hands-on scanning sessions, and case-based discussions. 3) A post-training assessment of FAST competency. 4) Qualitative feedback from participants to assess the program's impact. Thirty-two young doctors participated in the program. There was a significant improvement in FAST knowledge (pre-test mean: 45%; post-test mean: 82%) and scanning skills. Participants reported increased confidence in FAST utilization and its integration into their trauma assessment workflow. This community service initiative demonstrated the effectiveness of a structured FAST training program in enhancing the competency of young doctors in trauma care. Such programs have the potential to improve patient outcomes and contribute to the development of a skilled healthcare workforce.
