Abstract

Organic waste management remains a challenge in institutional environments, including higher education settings. At the Palu Ministry of Health Polytechnic, organic waste such as grass clippings and leaf litter is typically discarded or burned, despite its potential to be converted into value-added compost. This community service program aimed to improve the technical skills and entrepreneurial motivation of cleaning service staff in processing organic waste into compost. The program was conducted on November 26, 2025, involving six cleaning service staff and two students. A participatory training approach was implemented through preparation, instructional delivery, hands-on composting practice, and evaluation. A one-group pre-test–post-test design was used to assess effectiveness. The results showed an increase in the average score from 56.25 to 85.00, indicating a 51.1% improvement. All participants were able to independently perform composting, and 75% expressed interest in developing compost-based business activities. The program also contributed to reducing organic waste on campus. In conclusion, the integration of technical training and entrepreneurship effectively enhanced participants’ skills and motivation. Continuous mentoring and institutional support are recommended to ensure sustainability.

Abstract

Pendahuluan remaja merupakan kelompok usia yang rentan terhadap penularan HIV/AIDS karena tingginya perilaku berisiko dan rendahnya literasi kesehatan. Data menunjukkan bahwa remaja usia 15–24 tahun menyumbang sekitar 18–21% kasus HIV di Indonesia, termasuk di Kota Palu yang menempati peringkat pertama kasus HIV/AIDS di Sulawesi Tengah. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan literasi dan kepedulian siswa kelas XI SMA Negeri 1 Palu terhadap HIV/AIDS. Metode yang digunakan meliputi ceramah interaktif, diskusi, tanya jawab, dan simulasi (role play), yang dilaksanakan pada tanggal 9 Maret 2023 dengan jumlah peserta 27 orang. Evaluasi dilakukan melalui pre-test dan post-test untuk mengukur perubahan pengetahuan. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan rata-rata skor pengetahuan dari 67,4±19,3 menjadi 97,0±9,1, dengan nilai p=0,000 yang menandakan pengaruh signifikan. Kesimpulan dari kegiatan ini adalah intervensi sosialisasi HIV/AIDS efektif dalam meningkatkan literasi siswa kelas XI SMA Negeri 1 Palu. Saran yang diberikan adalah perlunya sosialisasi periodik dan berkelanjutan pada seluruh jenjang kelas, serta pembentukan duta HIV/AIDS untuk mempertahankan kepedulian siswa terhadap pencegahan HIV/AIDS.

Abstract

Hypertension can occur in adolescents and is often asymptomatic. However, adolescent participation in posyandu, one of whose goals is early detection of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), remains low. Purpose: This community service aims to promote health to adolescents at the adolescent posyandu in an effort to prevent and detect hypertension early. Methods: Early detection was conducted by measuring blood pressure, providing counseling, distributing leaflets, and administering pre-post tests. The activity was carried out at the adolescent posyandu in Awu Village on July 31, 2025, attended by 5 cadres and 15 adolescents. Results: All adolescent participants did not know their blood pressure. The blood pressure examination showed that one adolescent had above-normal blood pressure (140 mmHg). The pre-post test knowledge level increased by an average of 41%. Counseling proved to be an effective strategy to increase knowledge. Previously unknown information was that hypertension can occur in adolescents and is asymptomatic. The most effective way to detect it is to measure blood pressure regularly. Conclusion: The final evaluation showed that this community service activity was successful, as seen from the enthusiasm of the participants. It is hoped that adolescents will be empowered, have the knowledge, attitudes, and skills for healthy living, and help break the chain of hypertension.

Abstract

The prevalence of heart disease cases in Awu Village remains quite high, with 18 cases recorded in the past year alone. Death in cardiac arrest cases can occur because health workers are unable to treat victims in the emergency phase. Appropriate handling measures in handling emergency cases of cardiac arrest are not only health service workers but also lay people, including community health cadres in Awu Village who serve as first responders. Efforts that can be made to address this problem include conducting community service activities in the form of providing education about heart attacks, basic life support training, and training in selecting and processing healthy food ingredients. The purpose of this PkM activity is to increase knowledge about heart disease, improve cadre skills related to basic life support skills, and improve skills in selecting and processing healthy food ingredients. The methods used in this community service activity were lectures and Q&A sessions using PPT media and leaflets, combined with hands-on basic life support practice. A one-day structured training (6 hours) was conducted, including pre- and post-tests to measure knowledge gain. The target of this activity is cadres and the community in Awu Village, North Luwuk District, Banggai Regency, totaling 40 people, which was carried out on July 30, 2025. The results showed an increase in the average knowledge and skills score from 43.50 (pre-test) to 91.00 (post-test) out of a maximum score of 100, indicating a significant improvement (p < 0.05). This activity is expected to be a follow-up activity for the Awu village to carry out continuous education by collaborating with the local health center. The output of this PKM activity is the publication of articles in scientific journals, activity videos, online news and IPR leaflets.

Abstract

Rural communities in Indonesia face a dual burden of high disaster risk and a growing prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). A holistic approach addressing both challenges simultaneously may build comprehensive community resilience. This community service initiative aimed to implement and evaluate an integrated program combining disaster response training for youth with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) screening in Wombo Kalonggo Village. The program was conducted in February 2025. A two-pronged intervention was delivered: (1) Disaster response training for 50 youth members (Karang Taruna), comprising lectures, hands-on simulations, and a night drill, with pre- and post-training knowledge assessments; and (2) Targeted screening for PAD using the Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) conducted on 38 high-risk adults aged ≥45 years with at least one risk factor (smoking, diabetes, or hypertension). No follow-up measurement was conducted due to the short-term nature of the program. Results: Disaster training outcomes: Youth disaster knowledge increased from 58% pre-test to 86% post-test. The program initiated a youth disaster preparedness team (not yet formally recognized as a functional organization), Screening outcomes: Among 38 adults screened, mean ABI was 0.945 (SD ±0.066; 95% CI: 0.90–0.98). Integration efficiency: The single-platform model reached both youth and at-risk adults in two village gatherings, though causal synergy between components was not evaluated. Conclusion: This preliminary study demonstrates that integrating disaster preparedness training with NCD screening is logistically feasible in a single-village, short-term community service format. However, claims of effectiveness and replicability are limited by the absence of a control group, lack of long-term follow-up, and short evaluation timeframe. Sustaining youth team activities and incorporating ABI screening into primary healthcare (Puskesmas) require further evaluation. This approach may serve as a preliminary reference for similar vulnerable communities, pending longitudinal validation.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a non-communicable disease with a prevalence that continues to increase worldwide and in Indonesia. In Indonesia, diabetes mellitus has risen from 7th to 5th place globally, with 19.5 million sufferers and is projected to reach 28.6 million people by 2045, while in South Sumatra there were 605,570 cases recorded in 2023. Type 2 DM is at risk of causing complications when blood glucose levels are not controlled, while low public knowledge regarding blood glucose control is one of the contributing factors. This community service activity aimed to improve public knowledge regarding blood glucose level control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.The activity was conducted on July 26, 2025, in RT 25, Pulokerto Village, Gandus District, Palembang, involving 31 participants. Health education was delivered through lectures, discussions, and question-and-answer sessions using leaflet media. Knowledge levels were evaluated using pre-test and post-test questionnaires administered before and after the educational intervention. The evaluation results showed an improvement in participants’ knowledge after receiving education. Before the counseling session, the majority of participants had a moderate level of knowledge (48.4%) and poor knowledge (32.3%), while only 19.4% had good knowledge. After the counseling session, most participants had a good level of knowledge (80.6%), while the remaining 19.4% had a moderate level of knowledge. This community service activity showed that counseling was effective in improving participants’ knowledge. Before the activity, most participants had moderate and poor knowledge, while after the activity, the majority were in the good knowledge category.

Abstract

Low digital health literacy among elementary school students in rural areas remains a significant barrier to independent dental and oral health maintenance. This issue was identified at SDN 1 Sumberejo, Kendal, where students had not utilized digital technology for health information and possessed minimal dental health knowledge. This community service program aimed to empower students by enhancing their digital health literacy and improving dental health behaviors through an audiovisual-based educational approach. The intervention was conducted on August 12, 2025, involving 20 students, with implementation stages including: problem identification through surveys, interactive education using creative videos, demonstrations of proper tooth-brushing techniques, and direct guidance in accessing digital health applications. The results showed a positive transformation, with all students now capable of independently operating health information applications. The final evaluation recorded a significant increase in understanding, with all participants (100%) achieving the established competency standards (scores above 75%). This activity successfully built new awareness and provided practical skills for students to leverage technology for maintaining dental and oral health, thereby fostering sustainable healthy lifestyles within the school environment.

Abstract

Digital transformation in the health sector requires the optimization of health application utilization by community health cadres as the frontline providers of community-based services. However, limited digital literacy and technical skills remain significant barriers to the effective use of the Sehat Indonesiaku Application (ASIK) in Integrated Non-Communicable Disease Posts (Posbindu PTM) in rural areas. This community service activity aimed to optimize the role of Posbindu cadres in utilizing ASIK to support more efficient, accurate, and integrated recording and reporting of non-communicable disease (NCD) data in Sumberejo Village, Kaliwungu District, Kendal Regency. The implementation method consisted of preparation, a knowledge pre-test, socialization of the ASIK application, demonstrations and hands-on practice with intensive mentoring, and evaluation through a post-test and discussion. The activity was conducted on July 23, 2025, involving 20 Posbindu PTM cadres. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in cadres’ knowledge and skills in using ASIK, as indicated by higher post-test scores compared to pre-test results and the successful installation and operation of basic application features by all participants for NCD data recording. This activity confirms that practice-based socialization and mentoring are effective in strengthening Posbindu cadres’ capacity and supporting the implementation of digital health recording systems in rural areas.

Abstract

Airway inflammation, obstruction, and bronchial hyperresponsiveness characterise asthma in children and young adults. Data shows that 38 asthma patients died due to delays in emergency referral, difficulties in initial care, and classroom teachers' incompetence to treat asthma attacks. This Community Service Program teaches SMAN 1 Sungai Ambawang Asthma First Aid. Asthma First Aid teaching at SMAN 1 Sungai Ambawang is essential for community asthma treatment independence. This project attempts to improve asthma attack quality of life. Community service uses lectures, Q&As, and demonstrations. Students, instructors, and the SMAN 1 Sungai Ambawang School Health Unit (UKS) Team will engage in this community service. There are 50 participants. To start community service, follow these steps. Pre-tests are 16 questions and take 16 minutes. The team then teaches asthma first aid for one hour. Steps for first aid are demonstrated. Participant practise what they learned. Following the test, they have 16 minutes to complete a 16-question questionnaire. The pretest-posttest analysis shows that participants learned asthma first aid. Community service can increase asthma attack prevention knowledge. The public health center and education office should increase asthma first aid education. To avoid asthma attacks, SMAN 1 Sungai Ambawang students and community members need regular education.
