A total of 200participants from across Indonesia joined the campaign, with a majority being women(87.8%). Participants were predominantly aged 18-22 years (80.2%), followed by thoseaged 23-27 years (19.1%), and 12-17 years (0.8%). The pretest average score was 70.00,while the posttest score increased to 82.96, showing a knowledge gain with a meandifference of 12.96 (p = 0.000, p < 0.05).

Abstract

Background: Adolescent girls are vulnerable to nutritional problems, especially anemia, which can be caused by a lack of iron intake during menstruation. Improving the nutritional status of adolescents can be done through the provision of iron supplements. This program aims to increase the awareness and knowledge of female students about the importance of nutritional health and the risk of anemia due to iron deficiency. Methods: The implementation of this program used the Community-based Participatory Research (CBPR) method involving 37 female students. The activity began with the distribution of pre-test questionnaires to assess initial knowledge about nutrition and anemia. The material presented included anatomy and physiology of female reproductive organs, health risks related to anemia, and the importance of iron supplementation. After the education, participants were asked to fill out a post-test questionnaire to evaluate knowledge improvement. Results and Discussion: The results of the activity showed a significant increase in knowledge. In the pre-test, 54.05% of participants had good knowledge, while after counseling, this percentage increased to 91.89%. There were no participants who had poor knowledge after the counseling activity. This shows that the educational program on iron supplementation is effective in increasing the understanding of santriwati regarding the importance of nutrition in preparing for a healthy pregnancy in the future. Conclusion: This activity has a positive impact on improving the nutrition and health knowledge of adolescents at Pondok Pesantren Al Hikam. Similar efforts are expected to be carried out on an ongoing basis to prevent anemia problems and support reproductive health in adolescent girls in the pesantren environment.

Abstract

Islamic Hospital Surabaya as a Class B Hospital has collaborated with BPJS since 2014. Preparing the tariff pattern used in serving BPJS patients is very important, especially regarding quality and cost control. To do this, hospitals must be able to serve BPJS patients by taking into account existing pricing patterns so that there are no losses in treating patients. To prepare for this, it is necessary to refresh knowledge regarding unit costs and hold a workshop to increase knowledge and calculate unit costs. This workshop is expected to provide additional knowledge to participants regarding hospital business management in determining pricing patterns based on unit cost calculations. The method used in this workshop is to use lecture, case study and simulation methods. 48 participants took part in the workshop with evaluations consisting of pretests and posttests. One important element in streamlining a company's production process is the concept of cost per unit, which can help companies ensure that the costs they incur will be lower than the selling price of one unit. This workshop is very beneficial regarding unit cost calculations, this can be seen from the results of the pretest and post-test calculations with an increase in value of 15% and there is a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test based on the results of the Paired Sample T-Test.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to raise awareness and foster active participation among residents in maintaining environmental health and preventing diseases such as Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) and dengue fever through an educational-participatory approach. Three primary initiatives were implemented: education on low-smoke waste bins, Black Soldier Fly (BSF) maggot cultivation, and the planting of Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA) and snake plants (Sansevieria trifasciata). The waste bin and TOGA programs demonstrated positive outcomes, including increased knowledge, improved practical skills, and effective utilization of residential yards for self-reliant health and environmental preservation. However, the maggot cultivation program faced challenges, including limited hands-on practice, time constraints, and lack of participant interest, leading to suboptimal results. These findings suggest that program success depends not only on educational efforts but also on individual readiness and social support. Intensive mentorship and more precise participant selection are recommended to enhance program sustainability.

Abstract

Academic stress is a significant issue frequently experienced by students (santri) in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) due to high academic demands, busy schedules, and limited access to mental health support, all of which negatively impact their learning motivation, as well as physical and mental health. This community service program aimed to enhance students' understanding of academic stress, empower them as mental health cadres, develop a peer counseling system, and equip them with stress management skills. The program was conducted at Pondok Pesantren Burhanul Hidayah Sidoarjo, involving 14 Santri Husada cadres through two main stages: education on academic stress and training in peer counseling. Education was delivered through seminars, discussions, and distribution of printed and digital materials, while training included lectures, group discussions, role simulations, and practical peer counseling sessions. Evaluation was carried out using pre- and post-tests, as well as observation of counseling skills. The results showed an improvement in students' knowledge, with the average score increasing from 90 to 94 after intervention, along with the establishment of peer counseling groups that provided internal support. Furthermore, students became more skilled in applying basic stress management techniques such as relaxation and time management. These findings indicate that education and peer counseling training are effective in enhancing students' capacity to cope with academic pressure. In conclusion, empowering students through peer counseling represents a sustainable strategy for strengthening mental health support in Islamic boarding schools, and wider, routine implementation is recommended to improve students’ resilience in facing academic challenges.
