Abstract

Children's health and cognitive development are fundamental determinants of future human capital. In Indonesia, nutritional problems such as stunting, anemia, and obesity remain prevalent, including among school-aged children. Suboptimal nutritional status may hinder physical growth, cognitive development, and academic performance. In response to these challenges, the Nutrition Goes to School: Healthy and Smart Children program was implemented to improve parents' knowledge and awareness of the importance of healthy eating and balanced nutrition in supporting children's growth and development. The program was conducted at RA Al-Jauhar, Ngijo, Karangploso, Malang Regency, targeting parents of enrolled students. The implementation consisted of internal team coordination, coordination with the school, and interactive nutrition education sessions. Educational materials were delivered through a combination of lectures, group discussions, games, and practical simulations to facilitate participants' understanding and encourage the application of healthy eating practices at home. Program effectiveness was evaluated using pre-test and post-test assessments to measure changes in participants' knowledge. The results demonstrated a significant improvement (p=0.003) in the mean knowledge score, increasing from 63.2±20.1 before the intervention to 73.2±21.6 after the intervention. This improvement indicates the program's effectiveness in enhancing participants' understanding of balanced nutrition and its practical application in daily life. Participants also actively engaged in discussions, asked questions, and shared their experiences throughout the sessions. Follow-up mentoring after the training further supported the implementation of the educational messages at home, promoting consistent healthy eating behaviors among children. Overall, the program proved to be effective and responsive to the needs of the target population. Similar initiatives could be expanded to higher educational levels to strengthen nutrition awareness and healthy dietary behaviors across different age groups.

Abstract

Hypertension is a chronic condition that requires continuous medication, regular blood pressure monitoring, and lifestyle modification. Integrated Primary Service (ILP) cadres play an important role in supporting participants of the Chronic Disease Management Program (PROLANIS) through community-based education, monitoring, and assistance. A needs assessment is essential as an initial step to ensure that cadre capacity-building programs address actual field conditions. This activity constituted the initial phase of a broader capacity-building program for ILP cadres supporting hypertension management among PROLANIS participants and was conducted from July to August 2026. A descriptive based on a needs assessment was employed. The respondents were 25 ILP cadres from nine villages or urban wards in Singosari District, Malang Regency. Data were collected through an online questionnaire and analyzed descriptively using frequencies and percentages. For several questions, respondents were allowed to select more than one answer. Fifteen cadres (60%) had served for more than six years. Based on the cadres’ perceptions, the most frequently encountered problems among PROLANIS participants were irregular medication use (84%), discontinuation of medication when participants felt healthy (68%), and irregular blood pressure examinations (56%). The most frequently identified training needs were recognition of hypertension warning signs (76%), education on the use of antihypertensive medications (56%), and communication with participants and their families (48%). The needs assessment indicates that ILP cadre capacity building should prioritize the recognition of hypertension warning signs, education on antihypertensive medication use, and communication skills involving participants and their families. These findings can serve as a basis for developing structured training and ongoing support to strengthen community-based hypertension management and contribute to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 3 and 17.
