Abstract

The incidence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) among adolescents in Semarang City increased from 242 cases in 2021 to 344 in 2022, highlighting a pressing need for effective preventive interventions. Peer education through Youth Health Cadres (KKR) is a promising strategy to address this issue. This community service program aimed to evaluate the impact of an educational intervention on DM-related knowledge among prospective KKRs at SMPN 12 Banyumanik. The program involved 20 students and was conducted through a single session comprising a pre-test, an interactive educational module on DM etiology and prevention, practical training, and a post-test. Knowledge was measured using a validated 20-item questionnaire. The results demonstrated the proportion of students achieving a 'good' knowledge level increased from 15% to 85%. In conclusion, the targeted educational intervention successfully enhanced the knowledge of Youth Health Cadres. This empowerment provides a critical foundation for their role as agents of change in disseminating DM prevention information within their school environment, contributing to broader public health efforts against the disease.

Abstract

Background: The global incidence of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a significant public health concern, though its precise rate in Indonesia remains unquantified. Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of mortality in Indonesia, contributing to a high burden of risk factors for OHCA. Enhancing community preparedness through basic life support (BLS) training is a critical strategy to improve survival rates. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a BLS training program on the knowledge and practical skills of students at SMAN 1 Sungai Ambawang in managing cardiac arrest. Methods: A single-group, pre-test-post-test study design was employed. Participants' knowledge and skills were assessed immediately before and after a structured BLS training session. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to analyze the differences in median scores, with a significance level of α < 0.05. Results: A total of 50 students participated. The median knowledge score increased from 63.66 (pre-test) to 86.50 (post-test). The median practical skills score demonstrated a more substantial improvement, rising from 36.00 to 94.06. The statistical analysis confirmed that these improvements were significant for both knowledge (p=0.001) and skills (p=0.001). Conclusion: A single session of BLS training significantly improved the knowledge and practical skills of high school students in cardiac arrest management. Implementing such training in school curricula is recommended to empower the lay public as potential first responders, thereby strengthening the chain of survival for OHCA victims in the community

Abstract

Introduction: Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children under five in Indonesia, often exacerbated by low parental knowledge and unfavorable environmental conditions. This community service initiative aimed to address this issue in Lingsar Village, West Lombok, by introducing Baby Spa—a complementary therapy involving infant massage and hydrotherapy—as a measure to improve respiratory hygiene and overall infant health, thereby aiding in the management of ARI. Methods: The intervention was conducted through an educational session and a practical demonstration of Baby Spa techniques. A total of 20 mothers of toddlers with a history of ARI participated in the program. The participants' knowledge and practices regarding ARI management were assessed using a pre-test and post-test questionnaire. Results: The activity demonstrated a significant improvement in the mothers' knowledge and reported practices. The proportion of mothers with good knowledge increased from 10% (pre-test) to 85% (post-test). Similarly, the percentage of mothers demonstrating positive practices for managing ARI in their toddlers rose from 40% to 75% following the intervention. Conclusion: Educational intervention on Baby Spa proved to be highly effective in enhancing maternal knowledge and practices related to ARI management in this community. This approach presents a promising, relevant, and acceptable promotive and preventive strategy that can be integrated into broader public health efforts to reduce the burden of ARI in rural settings.

Abstract

Background: Noncommunicable diseases, particularly cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes mellitus (DM), pose a significant global and national health burden. Patients with DM face a 2-4 times higher risk of CVD, the leading cause of mortality in over 65% of this population. Despite this, awareness and integrated screening for CVD risk among DM patients in primary healthcare settings, such as the Talise Health Center, remain limited. This community service initiative was designed to address this gap by implementing a comprehensive screening and personalized education program. Objective: This community service initiative aimed to detect CVD risk and provide targeted education to DM patients in the work area of the Talise Health Center. Methods: Methods: The activity was conducted on June 3, 2025, with 30 DM patients. The method involved a three-step process: (1) Screening of blood pressure, BMI, blood glucose, and cholesterol, with results plotted on the WHO/ISH risk prediction chart to stratify participants into low, moderate, or high 10-year CVD risk categories; (2) An educational session, comprising a pre-test, personalized counseling based on risk category, and a post-test to evaluate knowledge retention; (3) Dissemination of educational booklets and banners for sustained learning.Results: Screening revealed that 20 participants (66.7%) had low CVD risk, 9 (30.0%) had moderate risk, and 1 (3.3%) had high risk. The educational intervention was successful in reinforcing knowledge. The average knowledge score was increased at a high level (Pre-test score: 42,5.1% ± 10.2 vs. Post-test score: 82.0% ± 9.8).Conclusion and Suggestion: The finding that over one-third of screened DM patients were at moderate-to-high CVD risk underscores the critical need for integrated screening in primary care. Personalized counseling effectively maintained patient knowledge. It is strongly recommended that the Talise Health Center integrates routine CVD risk screening for all DM patients and continues providing targeted education to mitigate long-term cardiovascular complications.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Community-based programs that combine screening, education, and practical self-management skills are crucial for its prevention and control. Objective: This community service initiative aimed to implement and evaluate such a program in Awu Village. Methods:  The program consisted of three integrated components: (1) blood pressure screening for all participants, (2) educational sessions on non-communicable diseases and hypertension, assessed by pre- and post-tests, and (3) a practical mindfulness training session introducing techniques for stress management. Results: Screening of 45 participants revealed a high prevalence of pre-hypertension (42.2%), indicating a significant risk for progression to clinical hypertension. The educational intervention successfully improved knowledge, with the proportion of participants in the "good" knowledge category increasing from 53% to 76%. During mindfulness practice, participants were observed to be focused and relaxed, successfully engaging with the techniques. Qualitative feedback indicated that participants found the session beneficial for stress relief. Conclusion and Suggestion: This integrated program was effective in identifying cardiovascular risk, improving health literacy, and introducing a practical self-management tool. The high pre-hypertension rate underscores the urgency of such interventions. For sustained impact, it is recommended that the local health post (Posbindu) incorporate brief mindfulness exercises into its regular activities and establish community support groups to foster long-term practice, thereby contributing to the primary prevention of hypertension in Awu Village.

Abstract

Background: The Family Approach Healthy Indonesia Program (PIS-PK) is a key strategy of the Indonesian Ministry of Health. To support this program, community empowerment through interprofessional collaboration is essential. This activity was conducted in RW 05, Banjarsari District, which was identified as an area with specific health concerns.Objectives: This community service aimed to: 1) Implement interprofessional collaboration to address community health issues, and 2) Increase residents' knowledge and awareness of priority health problems.Methods: The activity used the IPCIdEM (Interprofessional Collaborative Practice in Education and Management) approach. The stages included: 1) Problem identification through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and analysis of Family Health Index (IKS) data; 2) Planning and implementation of interventions, which consisted of health screenings (blood pressure and blood sugar), health education sessions on hypertension, diabetes, stunting prevention, and family planning, and the distribution of iron supplements to adolescent girls; 3) Evaluation through pre-test and post-test.Results: The FGD and IKS data revealed three priority health problems: Non-Communicable Diseases (hypertension and diabetes), stunting risks, and low participation in family planning programs. The intervention showed positive outcomes: a total of 100 residents participated in the health screenings and education. Pre-test and post-test results from the NCD session showed a significant increase in the average knowledge score from 60% to 80%. Furthermore, 80% of participating adolescent girls committed to consuming iron tablets regularly.Conclusion: The IPCIdEM approach proved effective in facilitating interprofessional collaboration and improving community health literacy. This model can be replicated in other communities to tackle priority health issues in a structured and collaborative manner

Abstract

Pendahuluan: Masa remaja merupakan periode rentan terhadap masalah kejiwaan, seperti stres dan kecemasan. Data menunjukkan Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah menempati peringkat kedua (11,6%) untuk kategori gangguan mental emosional pada remaja di atas 15 tahun dengan gejala kecemasan atau depresi. Berdasarkan kondisi ini, kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan melalui edukasi kesehatan mental dan melakukan deteksi dini terhadap kesehatan mental remaja di SMA Negeri 3 Palu. Tujuan: Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk memberikan edukasi kesehatan mental dan melakukan deteksi dini masalah kesehatan mental pada remaja di SMA Negeri 3 Palu. Metode: Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada 6 Mei 2024 dengan metode ceramah interaktif, diskusi, serta demonstrasi dan praktik. Partisipan berjumlah 40 orang siswa. Instrumen yang digunakan untuk deteksi dini adalah kuesioner Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Hasil: Hasil deteksi dini menunjukkan bahwa 46,6% partisipan (18 siswa) tidak mengalami gejala depresi, sedangkan 53,4% partisipan (21 siswa) mengalami gejala depresi ringan. Edukasi berjalan lancar dengan tingkat partisipasi yang tinggi dari siswa. Kesimpulan: Kegiatan ini berhasil meningkatkan kesadaran peserta akan pentingnya kesehatan mental. Temuan deteksi dini mengindikasikan bahwa meskipun dalam kategori ringan, lebih dari separuh partisipan menunjukkan gejala depresi. Hal ini menekankan perlunya program kesehatan mental berkelanjutan dan intervensi lebih lanjut di sekolah. Kegiatan serupa diharapkan dapat menjadi stimulus bagi sekolah untuk mengintegrasikan kesehatan mental ke dalam program sekolah.
