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.
