Abstract

Hypertension is widespread and constitutes a primary cause of mortality worldwide. Hypertension is a degenerative disease caused by uncontrolled lifestyle choices that lead to health problems and death. Age is a risk factor for hypertension and is common in older adults, due to decreased tissue elasticity and thickening, which ultimately increases cardiac output. The objective is to assess the efficacy of a blend of sambiloto, turmeric, and kencur herbal tea on the blood pressure of elderly people. This method was applied using an observational approach by measuring the blood pressure of 9 elderly respondents and residents of Cigugur Girang RW. 04 Village before and after consuming herbal tea containing extracts of sambiloto, turmeric, and kencur. Blood pressure measurements were taken using an aneroid sphygmomanometer after the respondents had rested to ensure they were relaxed. The data were recorded and analyzed descriptively to observe changes in blood pressure individually and in groups. The findings were analyzed to evaluate the efficacy of the herbal tea in lowering blood pressure as a preventive measure and treatment for hypertension. The assessment also considered various other aspects which could influence the outcomes, such as health status, eating habits, level of physical activity, and consistency in consuming herbal tea. This activity was part of a series of KKNT programs aimed at empowering the community through the use of natural ingredients.

Abstract

This community service program was conducted in Nagari Kumango, Sungai Tarab District, Tanah Datar Regency, focusing on empowering beneficiaries of the Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) through a socio-cultural approach. The program was motivated by the low level of public understanding regarding the purpose of social assistance, the increasing trend of digital-driven consumptive behavior, and the high vulnerability to online loans and online gambling. The objective of this program was to enhance community awareness and capacity in managing social assistance wisely while strengthening socio-economic resilience. The methods applied included socialization, participatory education, group discussions, and mentoring based on local Minangkabau cultural values. The results indicate an improvement in community understanding in distinguishing between needs and wants, better household financial management, and increased awareness of digital consumption risks. The socio-cultural approach proved effective in strengthening community solidarity and participation. Therefore, integrating local cultural values is a crucial strategy in achieving sustainable community empowerment in the digital era.

Abstract

Consumption of sugar-sweetened packaged beverages among elementary school children continues to increase and may contribute to various health problems, including kidney damage. Limited knowledge regarding the health risks of sugary beverages is one of the factors contributing to high consumption among children. This community service program aimed to improve students’ knowledge about the dangers of packaged sugary drinks on kidney health through health education activities conducted at SD Ar-Ridha, Biru-Biru District, Deli Serdang Regency. The activity was carried out on November 23, 2024, involving 30 elementary school students. The methods used included interactive lectures, discussions, question-and-answer sessions, and evaluation through pre-test and post-test questionnaires. Educational materials covered types of sugary packaged beverages, added sugar content, kidney function, the effects of excessive sugar intake, and kidney disease prevention efforts. The results demonstrated an increase in participants’ knowledge levels after the educational intervention. The percentage of students categorized as having good knowledge increased from 20.0% during the pre-test to 80.0% during the post-test, while the poor knowledge category decreased from 46.7% to 3.3%. These findings indicate that interactive health education methods are effective in improving students’ understanding of the importance of limiting sugary packaged beverage consumption to maintain kidney health from an early age.

Abstract

The problem of plastic waste has become a global crisis due to its difficult to decompose naturally and the practice of burning it is hazardous to health. In response to this problem, Sriwijaya State Polytechnic together with the Kojartis Palembang Learning House community held a community service activity through Ecobrick making training as a creative solution for plastic waste management. This community service is important to equip the community at the Kojartis Palembang Learning House with innovative solutions in the form of ecobrick methods to support the zero waste movement. The method used is a participatory approach that includes theoretical counseling on waste sorting, technical training on making ecobricks with a density standard of 0.33–0.7 g/ml, and the diffusion of science and technology through the transformation of ecobricks into functional furniture. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in participant awareness, where participants who were initially unfamiliar with ecobricks are now able to process household plastic waste into useful products such as educational tables. These results conclude that ecobrick training is not just training, but also creates innovative learning media that increases students' collective awareness of environmental sustainability.

Abstract

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has brought significant changes to higher education. Empowering students to use AI responsibly has become an essential step in improving the quality of learning at the university level. This study aims to explore how AI can serve as an effective supporting tool in the learning process, particularly in the field of history, which requires deep analytical and interpretive skills in working with historical sources Through a training program for fourth-semester students of the History Education Study Program, participants were equipped with a foundational understanding of AI and guidance on applying it ethically and critically in historical source analysis and academic writing. Students were also trained to use AI for historical research, paper writing, research question formulation, and information verification to ensure academic accountability The program employed a participatory approach covering three stages: AI theory introduction, hands-on practice, and mentoring with evaluation. Results showed a significant improvement in students' understanding of AI, their ability to use it wisely, maintain academic integrity, and enhance the quality of history learning. Responsible AI use was also found to foster the development of critical and analytical thinking skills among students Students gained not only technical competencies but also ethical awareness regarding the boundaries of AI use to uphold academic honesty. This study recommends that higher education institutions integrate AI literacy training into their curriculum, enabling students to navigate the digital era in a more informed, critical, and responsible manner.

Abstract

The Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Kismoyoso Village, Boyolali, widely known for their traditional herbal medicine, aimed to diversify their product offerings to foster long-term development. This initiative focuses on creating sustainable product concepts designed to establish a robust local supply chain and build partnerships among residents, thereby increasing community consumption expenditure and stimulating the village's internal economic turnover. Catfish was selected as the core ingredient due to its high nutritional value and versatility in various food products and snacks. Consequently, the MSME members—primarily local women—embraced the idea of developing catfish sticks and catfish meatballs as their new flagship products. To facilitate this, a community service team from the Faculty of Business, Setia Budi University, conducted a comprehensive training program. The training utilized five distinct methods: direct explanation, demonstration, hands-on practice, discussion/Q&A sessions, and product evaluation. Through active participation in each stage, the trainees successfully produced catfish sticks and meatballs, establishing them as viable processed snack products ready to drive the future growth of MSMEs in Kismoyoso Village, Boyolali.

Abstract

Teacher performance management through the Merdeka Mengajar Platform (PMM) requires teachers to plan work-result targets, implement professional development activities, and upload evidence of performance in a documented manner. This community service article aims to describe the mentoring process for fulfilling teachers' Work Result Plans (RHK), strengthening school-based learning communities, and facilitating the upload of performance evidence at SDN Sonraen, Amarasi Selatan, Kupang Regency. The activity used a participatory mentoring method conducted in four sessions from October 2024 to January 2025. Data were collected through attendance records, observation notes, PMM access monitoring, documentation of community-of-practice activities, and recapitulation of teacher performance predicates. The mentoring stages included identification of PMM access, assistance in selecting RHK indicators, facilitation of learning-community activities, upload of performance evidence, and final evaluation. The results show that eight teachers fulfilled RHK requirements with a 100% achievement rate. Two teachers obtained the Excellent predicate and six teachers obtained the Good predicate. The learning community also produced good-practice sharing on teaching modules, clinical supervision, and coconut-based learning media. The program indicates that structured mentoring supported by principal leadership and collegial collaboration can improve teacher readiness in using digital performance-management systems.
