Abstract

The decline in oral health among the elderly remains a persistent community issue, primarily influenced by limited health literacy, reduced motor abilities, and a lack of regular preventive care. This community service program focused on improving oral health literacy and promoting proper daily oral hygiene practices among older adults through targeted educational interventions. The purpose of this activity was to enhance participants' understanding of common oral problems in aging, including dental caries, periodontal disease, and denture-related conditions, as well as to strengthen their skills in performing effective and safe oral care at home. The program employed an interactive approach consisting of health education sessions, visual demonstrations of toothbrushing and denture-cleaning techniques, and guided practice with direct supervision. Additional supporting materials were provided to reinforce learning retention. The results of the program indicated a noticeable increase in participants' knowledge, greater confidence in performing oral hygiene independently, and improved awareness of the importance of routine dental check-ups. Participants also reported better understanding of the relationship between systemic conditions-such as diabetes and hypertension-and oral health status. In conclusion, this community engagement activity effectively improved oral health literacy and encouraged better oral care behaviors among the elderly. Sustained implementation of periodic education, collaboration with community health cadres, and integration of oral health promotion into routine elderly health services are recommended to support longterm improvements in oral health and overall well-being.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease with a steadily increasing incidence in Indonesia. Lack of public knowledge about prevention, early detection, and management of DM is a contributing factor to the high risk of this disease. This community service activity aims to increase public awareness and knowledge about diabetes mellitus and provide free health checks for early detection. The activity methods include counseling using leaflets and PowerPoint presentations, question and answer discussions, and random blood sugar and blood pressure checks. The activity was held at the Anggrek 2 Integrated Health Post (Posyandu), Duren 3 Community Health Center (Puskesmas Pembantu), Pancoran District, South Jakarta, with the participation of 35 participants. The results showed that 17.1% of participants had random blood sugar results ≥200 mg/dl (diabetes category), 14.3% were in the risk category, and 68.5% were within the normal range. Participants demonstrated high enthusiasm and increased understanding of the importance of early detection and a healthy lifestyle. This activity successfully raised public awareness of the importance of routine health checks and became the first step in preventing diabetes mellitus in the community.

Abstract

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is a promotive and preventive effort that plays a crucial role in preventing environment-based diseases, particularly among school-aged children in coastal areas. MTs Darul Ulum Sasa, located in the coastal area of Ternate City, is a school where the implementation of PHBS remains relatively low. This community service activity aimed to improve students' knowledge regarding PHBS through health education. A participatory approach was employed, consisting of pre-test, interactive educational sessions, discussions, and post-test. The activity was conducted on April 11, 2025, involving 18 students of MTs Darul Ulum Sasa. A multiple-choice questionnaire was used as the evaluation instrument to measure students' knowledge before and after the educational intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed a significant increase in the mean knowledge score from 59.09 ± 29.10 in the pre-test to 79.55 ± 15.27 in the post-test, with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that PHBS education was effective in enhancing students' understanding of the importance of personal and environmental hygiene.

Abstract

Snack foods are an inseparable part of the daily dietary pattern of school-aged children because they are practical, easily accessible, and affordable. However, most school snacks available have low nutritional quality, being high in carbohydrates and fats while low in protein and essential micronutrients. This condition may lead to excessive macronutrient intake and contribute to an increased risk of overnutrition and overweight. The objective of this community service activity was to improve mothers’ knowledge and skills in providing nutritious snack foods through the preparation of catfish pempek (Clarias sp.) with the addition of tempeh flour (Rhizopus sp.). The activity was conducted at the Nogorejo Village Community Hall, Galang Subdistrict, on July 31, 2025. The preparation stage included obtaining permits, coordinating with the PKK leader to determine participants and the schedule, developing leaflets, and conducting trial production of pempek in the food technology laboratory of the nutrition department. The implementation stage consisted of nutrition education on healthy snacks, explanation and demonstration of pempek preparation, product tasting, and preference evaluation. Participants included 30 PKK members, Posyandu cadres, mothers of toddlers, and mothers of school-aged children. The results showed high participant enthusiasm, demonstrated by a quiz of four questions that were all answered correctly. Evaluation indicated that all participants found the activity useful and satisfying. Sensory evaluation showed 100% acceptance of taste, aroma, and texture, although 10% disliked the aroma due to a fishy smell.

Abstract

Minor injuries such as cuts, abrasions, and bruises frequently occur among students during school activities. Insufficient knowledge regarding proper wound care may increase the risk of infection and delay the healing process. This community service program aimed to improve students’ knowledge of basic wound care as first aid management for minor injuries through structured health education and demonstration sessions. The program was conducted on December 11, 2025, at SMAN 2 Cibitung and involved 40 students. The intervention consisted of interactive health education covering wound types, infection prevention, and step-by-step wound management procedures, followed by a practical demonstration using teaching aids. Students’ knowledge was assessed using a structured questionnaire administered before (pre-test) and immediately after (post-test) the intervention. A one-group pretest–posttest design was applied. Pre-test results indicated that 62.5% of students had poor knowledge, 32.5% had moderate knowledge, and 5.0% had good knowledge, with a mean score of 54.10 ± 12.30. After the intervention, no students remained in the poor category; 17.5% demonstrated moderate knowledge and 82.5% achieved good knowledge. The mean post-test score increased to 86.25 ± 9.40. The mean difference was 32.15 points (95% CI: 28.60–35.70), and paired sample t-test analysis showed a statistically significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores (p = 0.000). In conclusion, school-based health education combined with demonstration was associated with increased student knowledge of wound care as first aid for minor injuries. Further evaluation with follow-up assessment is recommended to examine long-term knowledge retention.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a significant public health problem in tropical regions, including Indonesia and Malaysia. Population mobility, environmental changes, and limited community participation in vector control contribute to the persistence of dengue transmission. This community service activity was conducted in Hajimena Village, South Lampung Regency, on October 30, 2025, as a promotive and preventive effort in community-based dengue prevention. The program aimed to improve community understanding and awareness of dengue prevention through integrated health education and the utilization of ovitraps as a simple and environmentally friendly appropriate technology. The activity was implemented through collaboration between the Faculty of Health Sciences, Universitas Malahayati, and Universiti Putra Malaysia using a participatory education approach, interactive discussions, and hands-on practice in making and installing ovitraps. The evaluation was conducted using a qualitative descriptive approach through participatory observation, group discussions, and participant feedback. The results indicated an improvement in participants’ understanding of dengue, the life cycle of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, and the importance of environmental-based vector control. Participants also demonstrated interest and readiness to independently apply ovitraps in their residential environments. This activity highlights that cross- institutional and cross-national collaboration can strengthen promotive and preventive efforts in community-based dengue control.

Abstract

Adolescents in Indonesia are vulnerable to academic stress, particularly vocational high school students who face learning demands, practical examinations, and environmental pressures at school. Unmanaged stress may affect concentration, emotional stability, and physical health. Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) is a simple and effective technique that can help reduce stress levels among adolescents. The purpose of this service was to provide education on progressive muscle relaxation techniques to reduce stress levels among students. This public service was conducted at SMK Kesehatan Kesatrian 2 Purwokerto in two meetings involving 34 twelfth-grade students from the Layanan Penunjang Keperawatan dan Caregiving (LPKC) program. The activities included lectures and demonstrations on progressive muscle relaxation techniques. Stress levels were measured using the Adolescence Stress Scale (ADOSS), consisting of 16 items scored from 0 (“never”) to 3 (“almost every day”). Students’ knowledge and stress levels were assessed before and after the educational intervention, followed by independent practice for seven days. The results showed an increase in students’ knowledge by 35.14% and a decrease in stress levels by 20.44% after the intervention. Students demonstrated high interest in the PMR technique as it was easy to understand and could be practiced independently. Progressive muscle relaxation education proved effective in helping students manage academic stress and is recommended to be implemented as part of school mental health programs.

Abstract

Primary care performance at Puskesmas Pringkasap in 2025 did not meet the PKP-ILP target (>=80%), as reflected by low outpatient visit coverage and suboptimal completion of dental and oral health case management among the target population. This community service program aimed to strengthen PKP-ILP implementation through participatory, data-driven mentoring to improve the consistency of indicator monitoring and accelerate service gains. The program was conducted from January to December 2025 using a quarterly action cycle: (1) baseline review of quarterly achievement using NUM-DEN-HSL components; (2) a workshop to align indicator definitions, service flow, and documentation standards; (3) on-the-job coaching for outpatient and dental teams to improve target outreach and follow-up; and (4) quarterly audit-and-feedback sessions complemented by action plans and routine monitoring. Key barriers included inconsistent recording, variable adherence to follow-up procedures, and limited reach to target groups. Outpatient coverage improved from 9.39% (Q1) to 18.60% (Q4), with a cumulative achievement of 50.30% (10,558/20,990). Dental and oral health management remained stable at 38.02-39.54% per quarter. The mentoring process produced a concise SOP for indicator documentation, an agreed internal referral flow, and a routine data review mechanism involving program leads. In conclusion, PKP-ILP mentoring strengthened data governance and supported service improvement; however, additional demand-side strategies (health education, visit reminders, and community cadre collaboration) are needed to achieve the >=80% target.

Abstract

Infectious diseases remain a major public health problem in Indonesia, especially in archipelagic and remote areas such as the Selayar Islands. Limited access to health services, low public knowledge, and misinformation about vaccines often affect community participation in vaccination programs. This community service activity focuses on strengthening the role of the community in supporting vaccination as an effort to prevent infectious diseases. The aim of this activity was to increase community knowledge, attitudes, and participation regarding vaccination. This program used a participatory approach through Participatory Action Research (PAR) combined with Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) and Asset Based Community Development (ABCD). The activity was conducted in Bontotangnga Village, Bontoharu District, Selayar Islands, involving 50 community members selected through purposive sampling. The intervention was carried out through health education, interactive discussions, and mentoring activities involving health cadres and community leaders. Data were collected using pre-test and post-test questionnaires, observation of participation, and short interviews. The results showed a significant increase in community knowledge and attitudes toward vaccination. The average knowledge score increased from 56.4% before the intervention to 82.7% after the intervention. Positive attitudes toward vaccination increased from 48% to 84%, and community participation reached 86%. In conclusion, community-based education and mentoring effectively improve public understanding and support for vaccination programs. Community involvement plays an important role in increasing participation in vaccination to prevent infectious diseases.

Abstract

Low awareness of early detection has serious impacts. Individually, a delay in diagnosing TB can cause the disease to become severe and infect those closest to you, while HIV that is detected late will progress to the deadly AIDS stage.. One of them is in the community working area of the Jajag Health Center which is located in Gambiran District, Banyuwangi Regency. This community service activity aims to increase the congregation's knowledge and awareness regarding Tuberculosis (TB) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), especially regarding early symptoms, transmission methods, and the importance of early detection, which is held during the fasting month through the Ramadhan Safari activity. This community service activity utilizes a community-based health education approach, implemented through a combination of outreach, participatory discussions, and voluntary screening services. The program successfully increased participants' knowledge of the symptoms, transmission, and importance of early detection of infectious diseases. The implementation of these activities also demonstrated that approaches through religious communities are effective in reaching communities that previously had limited access to health information. In addition to providing knowledge, these activities have begun to encourage changes in public attitudes toward health screening and foster collective awareness of the importance of disease prevention
