Abstract

Background: Stunting is a state of malnutrition related to inadequate nutrients in the past, so it is classified as a chronic nutritional problem. Efforts to reduce the risk of stunting include increasing the adequacy of nutritional needs of infants, toddlers and adolescents in the womb. Objective: The purpose of implementing this program is to improve the health of adolescents and reduce the risk of nutritional deficiencies and stunting. Method: The method used during the implementation of this community service program is the lecture and discussion method with various stages. Results: The implementation of the Brazilian spinach empowerment program is a program that attracts the attention and interest of the community due to the relatively short cultivation method with a choice of processing with or without cooking first. Conclusion: The management of Brazilian spinach or amaranthus sp., which is carried out in a more varied way, will increase adolescents' interest in consuming vegetables. This will also reduce the risk of haemoglobin deficiency and stunting in the future due to inadequate nutrition.

Abstract

Adolescents are an age group that plays a role in stunting prevention efforts. The increasing incidence of anemia is one of the factors causing the high incidence of stunting. The visitor program is the implementation of PHBS education in the elementary school community and health screening for the general public. The results of observation show the lack of role of adolescent girls in preventing stunting, so it is necessary to accompany them to obtain increased knowledge and skills in accompanying adolescents to avoid stunting. The method of service activities is the assistance of 20 adolescents, consisting of three stages, namely the first stage of providing education and socialization on anemia prevention, the importance of Blood Supplement Tablets (TTD), how to consume, demonstration of anemia detection, pre-intervention Hb examination. The first stage is pretest and posttest on adolescents. The second stage, post-intervention Hb examination, the third stage is the administration of blood-boosting tablets. The participants of this PHBS educational activity are 6th grade students totaling 26 students. From the results of initial observations before being given education, there are still some students who do not understand and know how to maintain their hygiene in terms of washing their hands properly and correctly. The results of the next supporting activity are that this health examination aims to carry out public health screening in the form of cholesterol, uric acid, blood sugar and blood pressure. This activity was attended by 17 people from Iyok village, most of whom were women. The results of the examination showed that most people had good health conditions

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that is still a public health challenge in Indonesia, including in Cimahi City, which has a stunting prevalence of 9.4%. One of the efforts to prevent stunting is increasing exclusive breastfeeding coverage, which is still below the national target. This community service activity aims to increase the capacity of health cadres in breastfeeding counselling knowledge and skills through intensive community-based training. The program will be carried out in March 2025 in RW 06 Melong Village, the working area of the Central Melong Health Centre, Cimahi City, with eight cadre participants. Evaluation was carried out through pre-test and post-test using a questionnaire consisting of 20 questions that had been tested for validity and reliability, as well as participatory observation of changes in attitudes and skills of cadres. The results showed an increase in the average knowledge score of 33.1 points with a significant paired t-test result  (p = 0.001). Qualitatively, participants showed increased self-confidence, skills in practising lactation techniques and oxytocin massage, and initiatives to form breastfeeding support groups to sustain education. This program contributes to cadre empowerment and is a potential strategy to support the acceleration of stunting reduction at the community level.

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem still a public health challenge in Indonesia. One of the factors contributing to the high prevalence of stunting is the lack of knowledge of parents, especially mothers, about balanced nutritional intake and proper practices of feeding Complementary Breast Milk (MP-ASI). This community service activity aims to improve the knowledge and skills of mothers under five related to the importance of nutritious food and the practice of giving MP-ASI in accordance with the guidelines of WHO and the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. The methods used are education through interactive counseling, demonstrations of making local food-based MP-ASI, and question and answer sessions. The target of the activity was 40 mothers with children aged 6-24 months in the Posyandu in the assisted area. The evaluation results showed an increase in participants' knowledge by 65% after participating in educational activities. In addition, 80% of participants stated that they were motivated to implement MP-ASI feeding practices that are in accordance with the principles of balanced nutrition. This activity also encourages the use of affordable and nutritious local food resources. With the increase in mothers' knowledge and skills in compiling and delivering MP-ASI, it is hoped that the risk of stunting in early childhood can be minimized. This service activity proves that education-based interventions and direct practices can effectively support programs to accelerate stunting reduction at the community level. The recommendation for the future is to expand the scope of similar activities with cross-sectoral collaboration, especially among health workers and posyandu cadres.

Abstract

Hypertension is a global health issue with a high prevalence, including in Indonesia. South Kalimantan has the highest rate at 44.1% among adults aged ≥18 and above. Most individuals with hypertension remain undiagnosed and untreated. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as hypertension exercise (senam hipertensi), effectively reduce blood pressure through relaxation and improved circulation. This community service program aimed to raise awareness and lower blood pressure among Anjir Serapat Muara 1 Village residents through health screening and hypertension exercise. The methods included an initial health survey, blood pressure measurements before and after the intervention, and several sessions of hypertension exercise. A total of 22 female participants were involved in this activity. Results showed that most participants experienced decreased blood pressure after the intervention. For instance, Mrs. S's blood pressure decreased from 159/103 mmHg to 148/100 mmHg, and Mrs. A's from 149/96 mmHg to 126/81 mmHg. Participants also showed high enthusiasm for the activity. In conclusion, the community well-accepted hypertension exercise as a non-pharmacological approach and effectively helps reduce blood pressure, demonstrating potential for sustainable implementation at the community level.

Abstract

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (CHLB) is a critical indicator in improving public health status. However, many families have yet to fully implement CHLB practices in their daily lives, particularly in areas with limited education and access to health information. This community service program aimed to enhance family-level CHLB through a home visit approach conducted by community nurses. The method employed was an educational and participatory approach, where community nurses conducted regular home visits over three months. Each visit included direct health education, environmental observation, discussions with family members, and distribution of educational materials on CHLB. Topics included handwashing with soap, clean drinking water management, environmental sanitation, and prevention of infectious diseases. Based on local health data, the program targeted 30 households in a designated community. The results showed a significant improvement in both knowledge and practice of CHLB among the targeted families. Approximately 85% of the families demonstrated increased scores in the CHLB evaluation post-intervention. Positive behavioural changes were also observed, such as consistent handwashing before meals and after using the toilet, as well as better household waste management practices. These outcomes indicate that the home visit strategy by community nurses is an effective method for promoting health behavior change at the family level. This initiative is expected to serve as a replicable model for other communities, with the support of cross-sector collaboration. It emphasises the importance of family-based empowerment in health promotion and disease prevention efforts.

Abstract

Health problems due to high cholesterol levels in the blood are a big challenge for the people of Indonesia, especially in urban areas such as Makassar. High cholesterol is closely related to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and other metabolic complications. On the other hand, the public's understanding of the rational use of drugs is still limited, so it has the potential to cause side effects, drug resistance, and decreased therapy effectiveness. The method of implementing the activity consisted of educational counselling related to the classification of drugs, how to use, store, and dispose of drugs correctly, as well as demonstrations of the use of cholesterol checkers (Easy Touch) using the Point of Care Testing (POCT) method. In addition, participants were given insight into the risk factors for high cholesterol and their control strategies, such as a healthy diet, exercise, and regular check-ups. The results of the activity showed high enthusiasm and participation of participants in the discussion and practice sessions. Brief evaluations through question-and-answer methods indicated an increase in participants' understanding of the importance of rational use of medication and initial skills in independent cholesterol examination. This activity not only fosters health awareness but also strengthens the function of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education in community service. Thus, this activity contributes to increasing public health literacy and encouraging the implementation of a healthy lifestyle to reduce the prevalence of non-communicable diseases in urban areas.

Abstract

Adolescence is a colorful and dynamic period, accompanied by a series of emotional upheavals that adorn the journey of a human being about to grow up. Adolescents, the largest age group in the Indonesian population structure, are the focus of attention and a strategic intervention point for human resource development. The most important step that must be taken is to increase attention to adolescent girls, because they face greater risks and are more vulnerable to the social environment. In addition to being the largest group (23% of the total population), adolescents have never received comprehensive and consistent attention. The group of adolescents who are in Islamic boarding schools or pondok environments, also known as boarding schools, are groups that often receive less attention, especially in terms of health. Reproductive health and mental health in adolescent girls are issues in Islamic boarding schools or pondok environments. Reproductive health is a state of perfect physical, cognitive, and social health, not only in the absence of disease or disorders, but also in terms of sexual and reproductive well-being. This includes the right of every individual to have a safe, satisfying, and fulfilling sexual life, as well as the right to have the ability to reproduce and the freedom to decide their own will in terms of reproduction without discrimination, pressure, or coercion. Adolescent reproductive rights are increasingly becoming an important topic to study in the modern era. This community service program aims to provide health education on reproductive health, mental health, and PHBS through "take a break" assistance. The purpose of implementing this program is for groups of students to be independent and effective in improving their health status through increased knowledge and changes in good practices, as a result of the program in the form of improving the quality of services to the community (groups of students) and scientific publications.

Abstract

High-risk pregnancy is a condition that can increase maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality, so it requires special attention and treatment. This community service aims to assist pregnant women who are classified as high risk to prevent complications during pregnancy and childbirth. Implementing the activity includes health counseling, routine health check-ups, nutritional counseling, and early detection training on pregnancy danger signs. The service team involves medical personnel, midwives, and nursing students as facilitators and field assistants. The results showed an increase in participants' knowledge of pregnancy hazards (from 42% to 87%), an increase in adherence to regular antenatal visits (from 60% to 95%), and a change in healthy living behaviors in most participants. In addition, this program has succeeded in strengthening the relationship between the community and health workers and strengthening the family's role in supporting healthy pregnancies. In conclusion, this mentoring activity is effective in increasing awareness, knowledge, and readiness of pregnant women at risk in dealing with pregnancy and childbirth. Sustainability of the program and support from relevant parties are needed to reach more targets and strengthen the referral system for high-risk pregnant women at the primary level.

Abstract

Hypertension and diabetes mellitus are two non-communicable diseases with increasing prevalence in Indonesia, including in rural areas such as Kamulyan Village, Bantarsari Subdistrict, Cilacap Regency. Both conditions require long-term management using a holistic approach, including integrating complementary therapies based on medicinal plants. Unfortunately, community understanding of herbal medicine's proper and safe use remains limited. This community service program aims to improve the knowledge and skills of residents in Kamulyan Village in utilizing herbal remedies as complementary therapy for hypertension and diabetes mellitus. The implementation methods included health education sessions on the introduction of hypertension and diabetes, as well as education on various types of local medicinal plants that are empirically proven to help control blood pressure and blood glucose levels, such as bay leaves (Syzygium polyanthum), bitter leaf (Andrographis paniculata), Phyllanthus niruri, cat’s whiskers (Orthosiphon aristatus), and Tinospora crispa. In addition, practical training was conducted on preparing and processing these herbs into simple formulations that can be used independently at home, such as herbal teas, decoctions, and dried capsules. The activity was attended by 50 participants: health cadres, elderly residents, and patients with hypertension and diabetes. Through pre-test and post-test assessments, participants’ knowledge and skills related to herbal medicine usage were significantly increased. Participants also demonstrated high enthusiasm for cultivating and utilizing family medicinal plants (TOGA) around their homes. This initiative is expected to be the first step toward community self-reliance in maintaining health naturally and sustainably. In the future, further assistance and cross-sector collaboration are needed to develop the scientific, safe, and effective use of herbal medicine at the community level.
