Abstract

Pregnancy is a physiological process accompanied by anatomical and hormonal changes that prepare women for childbirth. One of the most common complications during vaginal delivery is perineal rupture, which may cause postpartum pain, bleeding, infection, pelvic floor dysfunction, and reduced maternal quality of life. A non-pharmacological approach to prevent this condition is perineal massage using olive oil, which helps improve perineal tissue elasticity. This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of second-trimester pregnant women through education and demonstration of perineal massage at Sarpi’ina Sinambela Clinic. The study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach involving 50 pregnant women selected through total sampling. Data were collected using knowledge questionnaires and skill observation checklists before and after the intervention. The results showed an increase in the mean knowledge score from 62.4 to 85.7 with a mean difference of 23.3, and an improvement in skill level from 24% to 84% of participants being able to perform perineal massage correctly. Statistical analysis indicated a p-value of 0.000, showing a significant difference between pretest and posttest results. In conclusion, education and demonstration of perineal massage using olive oil were effective in improving pregnant women’s knowledge and skills in preventing perineal rupture. This program is expected to enhance maternal preparedness for childbirth and support safer and more comfortable delivery outcomes..

Abstract

Minor wounds are among the most common health problems experienced by communities in daily life. Inadequate first aid management may increase the risk of infection and delay the healing process. Community empowerment through health education and the utilization of local medicinal plants is a strategic approach to improving self-reliance in wound care. This community service program aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of education and training on the preparation of herbal gel from rambusa leaves (Passiflora foetida L.) as an alternative first-aid treatment for minor wounds. A quantitative pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted among 100 participants in Sei Pematang Pasir Village, Medan Labuhan District, Indonesia. Participants received interactive lectures, demonstrations, hands-on practice, discussions, and educational leaflets. Knowledge was assessed using pretest and posttest questionnaires, while practical skills were evaluated through observation checklists. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired sample t-test. The proportion of participants with good knowledge increased from 14.0% before the intervention to 85.0% afterward. The mean knowledge score improved significantly from 60.2 ± 9.8 to 88.7 ± 7.2, with a mean difference of 28.5 points (p < 0.001). Furthermore, 88.0% of participants demonstrated good skills in preparing the herbal gel, and participation remained high throughout all program activities. These findings indicate that education and practical training effectively enhanced community knowledge and skills in utilizing Passiflora foetida L. as a herbal gel for minor wound management, supporting community empowerment and the sustainable use of family medicinal plants (TOGA) in primary health care.

Abstract

Gastrointestinal disorders remain one of the most common health problems in the community, while the utilization of Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA), particularly Justicia gendarussa Burm.f. (gandarusa) leaves, as a promotive and preventive health approach is still limited due to inadequate public knowledge. This community service program aimed to improve community knowledge regarding the utilization of gandarusa leaves to support gastrointestinal health through TOGA-based health education. A pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest–posttest design was employed. The program was conducted in Teluk Nibung Village, Tanjungbalai City, North Sumatra, involving 100 participants selected using purposive sampling. The educational intervention consisted of interactive lectures, group discussions, demonstrations on the preparation of gandarusa herbal remedies, and the distribution of educational leaflets. Data were collected using knowledge questionnaires administered before and after the intervention and analyzed descriptively using the paired sample t-test. The findings demonstrated a substantial improvement in participants' knowledge, with the proportion of respondents categorized as having good knowledge increasing from 12.0% to 82.0%, while the poor knowledge category decreased from 32.0% to 0.0%. The mean knowledge score significantly increased from 58.6 ± 10.4 before the intervention to 86.8 ± 8.1 after the intervention, with a mean difference of 28.2 points (p < 0.001). Participant engagement was also exceptionally high, as all participants completed the registration, pretest, educational sessions, and posttest. TOGA-based health education proved effective in enhancing community knowledge regarding the utilization of Justicia gendarussa Burm.f. leaves to support gastrointestinal health. This program is recommended for sustainable implementation to strengthen community empowerment and promote the evidence-based use of local medicinal plants.

Abstract

Background: Dengue fever remains a major public health concern in Indonesia, particularly in coastal communities where environmental conditions facilitate mosquito breeding. At the same time, the increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus, underscores the importance of community-based health education and early detection programs. This community service program aimed to improve public knowledge regarding dengue fever prevention and facilitate early screening for NCD risk factors among coastal residents. Methods: A pre–post community intervention was conducted during a one-day community service program in March 2026 in Lingkas Ujung Village, Tarakan City, involving 35 participants. Health education was delivered through interactive sessions consisting of presentations, discussions, and question-and-answer activities supported by posters and standing banners. Participants' knowledge was assessed using pre-test and post-test questionnaires. Health screening included blood pressure, random blood glucose, total cholesterol, and uric acid measurements. Thirty participants completed both the pre-test and post-test, while all 35 participants underwent health screening. Data were analyzed descriptively using mean scores and frequencies. Results: The mean knowledge score increased from 80.7 before the intervention to 97.7 after the educational session. Health screening showed that 48.6% of participants had prehypertension, 34.3% had hypertension, 45.7% had prediabetes, 11.4% had hyperglycemia, 11.4% had elevated cholesterol levels, and 22.9% had elevated uric acid levels. Conclusion: The community service program effectively improved participants' knowledge of dengue fever prevention while facilitating early identification of NCD risk factors. Similar integrated health education and screening programs should be continuously implemented through collaboration among universities, local health authorities, and community organizations to strengthen preventive health efforts in coastal communities.

Abstract

nadequate household waste management, particularly the absence of proper segregation between organic and inorganic waste, continues to pose environmental health challenges in many Indonesian communities. To address this issue, a community service program was implemented involving 39 health cadres from Puskesmas Depok II, Sleman, Yogyakarta. The program aimed to strengthen participants’ knowledge and practical competencies in managing organic waste through the application of biopore technology. Activities were designed based on the Awareness, Interest, Evaluation, Trial, and Adoption (AIETA) framework and consisted of Environmental Health Inspections (IKL), educational counseling, Community Self Survey (CSS) activities, and practical biopore-making trainingsessions. The effectiveness of the intervention was evaluated using a pre-test and post-test approach. Results of the Shapiro–Wilk test indicated that both datasets were not normally distributed (p = 0.001). Consequently, differences in participants’ knowledge scores were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant increase in knowledge following the intervention, as indicated by a Z value of −5.554 and an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000. Furthermore, all participants showed higher post-test scores, with positive ranks observed in all 39 respondents and no negative ranks or ties recorded. These findings suggest that the program was effective in improving both knowledge and practical skills related to organic waste management. Continued implementation of biopore education and regular monitoring by Puskesmas are recommended to maintain long-term behavioral change.

Abstract

Nutrition counseling is an educational approach aimed at improving nutritional knowledge and encouraging the adoption of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) among school-aged children. This age group are in a period of rapid growth and development. However, many still face nutritional problems and unhealthy behavioral practices. This activity aimed to examine the effect of nutrition counseling on balanced nutrition knowledge, understanding of the Isi Piringku concept, and the implementation of PHBS among elementary school students. The activity was conducted at SDN 23 Marapalam, Padang City, involving 30 students. Nutrition counseling was delivered individually through interactive discussions supported by educational media, including posters and food photo books. Evaluation was carried out using pre-test and post-test instruments to assess changes in students’ knowledge, as well as monitoring of PHBS implementation. Data were analyzed descriptively and using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results showed an increase in the mean knowledge score from 95.3 before counseling to 99.3 after counseling. However, the increase was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Most students had already demonstrated good nutritional knowledge at baseline. On the other hand, the majority of students had not consistently implemented PHBS, although several positive behavioral changes were observed. Therefore, nutrition counseling plays a role in strengthening students’ knowledge and initial awareness of nutrition and healthy living behaviors. However, continuous counseling and long-term mentoring are required to promote consistent behavioral change.

Abstract

College students represent a productive population undergoing a critical transition into adulthood. During this period, substantial changes in dietary patterns, physical activity, and lifestyle behaviors frequently occur, potentially influencing their nutritional status. Academic demands, limited time availability, and increased consumption of fast food are among the key factors contributing to the development of nutritional problems within this population. Therefore, effective promotive and preventive interventions are essential to enhance student’s awareness of the importance of maintaining their optimal individual nutritional status. Program Pojok Gizi is a community engagement initiative designed to provide nutritional status screening, dietary assessment, and nutrition education for university students. The program was implemented through anthropometric measurements, dietary assessment using the 24-hour dietary recall method, and face-to-face nutrition education and counselling. The findings demonstrated that participants gained a better understanding of their nutritional status and improved their knowledge of implementing the principles of a balanced diet in their daily lives. Furthermore, the program enhanced student’s awareness of the importance of adopting healthy dietary behaviors and routinely monitoring their nutritional status. Overall, Program Pojok Gizi has the potential to serve as an effective health promotion strategy for improving student’s nutritional awareness and supporting better health outcomes within the university setting.

Abstract

Cancer remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among women worldwide, with cervical cancer ranking as a major public health problem, particularly in developing countries. Limited knowledge and awareness regarding cervical cancer risk factors and the importance of early detection contribute to low participation of women in cervical cancer screening programs. This community service program aims to increase knowledge and awareness of women of reproductive age regarding early detection of cervical cancer through health education. This activity was carried out on June 4, 2026, in Petung Hamlet, Kepuharjo Village, Cangkringan District, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region, using a Community-based health education research approach. A total of 30 participants attended the activity, but only 23 participants completed the pretest and posttest for analysis. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired sample t-tests. The results showed a significant increase in participants' knowledge, with the mean score increasing from 7.61 ± 1.34 before the intervention to 13.00 ± 1.24 after the intervention (p < 0.001). In conclusion, health education effectively increases knowledge and awareness among women of reproductive age regarding early cervical cancer detection and has the potential to encourage preventive health behaviors and increase participation in cervical cancer screening programs.
