Abstract

Household waste management and environmental health remain important challenges in rural communities, including Bayung Gede Village, Kintamani District, Bangli Regency. Improper waste management may contribute to environmental pollution, increase the risk of vector-borne and environment-related diseases, and reduce family quality of life. This community service program aimed to improve the understanding of assisted families regarding waste segregation and environmental health through a family mentoring approach. The program was conducted from October 2025 to January 2026 and involved fifth-semester COME (Community Oriented Medical Education) students from the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Universitas Warmadewa, as family mentors. Each assisted family was accompanied by two to three students. The program consisted of three main stages: preparation, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. The preparation stage included the development of educational materials, preparation of supporting facilities, and perception alignment for family mentors through an online Zoom meeting. Educational activities were delivered through direct discussions at the homes of assisted families, covering environmental health, types of household waste, benefits of waste segregation, health impacts of improper waste management, and the importance of sorting waste from the household level. Evaluation was conducted using a post-test consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions. The results showed that all participants achieved post-test scores above 70, indicating that the program’s success indicator was achieved. Participants generally understood the basic concepts of household waste, organic waste, waste segregation, and the relationship between waste and environmental health. However, understanding of household hazardous waste and the long-term health impacts of open waste burning still requires reinforcement. To support program sustainability, simple waste bins were provided to assisted families. This program is expected to promote sustainable household waste segregation practices and contribute to a cleaner, healthier, safer, and more environmentally friendly family environment.

Abstract

This community service program provided community-based basic English and Mathematics learning for 25 children living at Yayasan Kasih Ibu Aceh Tengah, comprising elementary and junior high school students. The program responded to the need for regular, supportive, and enjoyable English and Mathematics exposure outside formal classroom routines. Activities were organised through a weekly lecturer-team rotation; each team consisted of three lecturers and returned to its original schedule in the following month. The author facilitated the first-week session each month. The learning design combined outdoor fun learning, simple communicative practice, Total Physical Response-type commands, vocabulary games, picture-word matching, group discussion, and short role-play. The materials included greetings, self-introductions, numbers, colours, everyday objects, and simple classroom or environmental expressions. Evaluation was conducted descriptively through field notes, participant responses, oral practice, and observations of engagement. The children showed high enthusiasm, participated actively in games, responded to basic English and Mathematics prompts, and were increasingly willing to repeat words and use simple expressions. The program demonstrates that a community-based, playful, and context-sensitive learning setting can create a more approachable entry point to basic English and Mathematics literacy for children in an orphanage environment. Continued implementation, a shared module, and periodic formative assessment are recommended to sustain learning progress.

Abstract

Household organic waste accumulation remains a practical environmental problem in Jayamekar Village, Padalarang District, because waste collection only occurs once a week and may be delayed when the collection vehicle is unavailable. This community service program aimed to strengthen the knowledge and skills of housewives in processing household organic waste into compost through the use of molasses and EM4 as simple bioactivators. The activity used counseling, demonstration, guided practice, and direct observation involving 15 housewives. The training introduced waste sorting, organic waste chopping, preparation of a bioactivator solution with molasses and EM4 in a 1:1 ratio, each one bottle cap dissolved in 500 ml of water, and application of the solution to chopped organic waste in a closed composter. The results showed that participants could explain and practice the main steps of bioactivator preparation and application. The program offers a practical household-level strategy to reduce organic waste accumulation, odor, and local sanitation problems.

Abstract

Exposure to pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi in food, medicines, cosmetics, and the environment has the potential to cause various health problems. These risks are exacerbated by the public's limited knowledge of the characteristics, impacts, and prevention of microbial contamination. This community service program aimed to improve the understanding of students at SMAN 4 Medan regarding the hazards of bacterial and fungal contamination and its preventive measures from an early age. The program was conducted with 36 students through educational sessions consisting of lectures, discussions, question-and-answer sessions, and an evaluation using a post-test instrument. The post-test results showed that 17 students (47.2%) achieved a good level of understanding, 12 students (33.3%) achieved a fair level, and 7 students (19.5%) achieved a poor level. These findings indicate that the educational program effectively improved students' knowledge of the hazards of bacterial and fungal contamination and its mitigation measures. The program is expected to foster greater awareness among young people to consistently adopt clean and healthy living behaviors in their daily lives, thereby minimizing the risk of diseases caused by exposure to pathogenic microorganisms and supporting the achievement of both individual and public health.

Abstract

Partner schools in Malang City (SDN 1 Klojen, SMP Salahuddin, SMPN 3, and SMA Islam) involved in the "Disaster-Safe School" program face a gap between the standards of School Health Units (UKS) and the completeness of First Aid (P3K) facilities with the actual needs for disaster management. The readiness of UKS and P3K is crucial as the frontline in disaster mitigation and response within the educational environment; therefore, an in-depth evaluation is necessary to support the effectiveness of the Disaster-Safe School program. This community service aims to analyze the standards of UKS facilities and the completeness of P3K equipment to support disaster management cycles in partner schools. The method used was a descriptive cross-sectional survey conducted in November 2023 at four partner schools, involving a research team and school representatives using a structured checklist. The analysis results show that the average availability of UKS facilities reached 72.58%; however, critical items such as dedicated UKS toilets were only 25%, and stretchers were available at 50%. The completeness of P3K kits was lower, with an average of only 36.90%, and vital items such as eye wash cups and 100 ml aquadest were unavailable (0%) in all schools. These findings indicate the need to improve standards and equipment completeness to optimize disaster preparedness.

Abstract

Contact dermatitis is one of the most common occupational skin disorders experienced by farmers due to exposure to chemical substances during agricultural activities. Preliminary findings among farmers in Pulo Village, Ciruas District, revealed that several farmers experienced itching on their hands after directly handling urea fertilizer without wearing protective gloves, with contact durations exceeding one hour. Prolonged exposure to chemical substances may trigger skin irritation and inflammation, potentially leading to contact dermatitis. In addition, most farmers have limited knowledge regarding the risk factors, causes, and preventive measures associated with this condition, highlighting the need for educational interventions to improve awareness and promote safe work practices. This community service program aimed to enhance farmers' understanding of contact dermatitis prevention related to chemical fertilizer exposure through health education. The program employed an educational approach consisting of health counseling, interactive discussions, question-and-answer sessions, and information on the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) during agricultural work. The target participants were farmers in Pulo Village, Ciruas District. The results demonstrated that participants actively engaged in the activities, participated enthusiastically in discussions, and showed improved understanding of the causes, risk factors, symptoms, and prevention of contact dermatitis. Evaluation findings also indicated that participants were satisfied with both the educational materials and the implementation of the program, as they were relevant to their occupational needs and working conditions. This program is expected to encourage farmers to consistently use appropriate personal protective equipment, thereby reducing the risk of contact dermatitis caused by exposure to chemical fertilizers.
