Abstract

The incidence of Tuberculosis (TB) is a health issue that must be paid attention to, especially at the Limapuluh Community Health Center. This health center is a health service center in the Fifty District which experiences a high incidence of TB, with the number of TB cases in 2022 increasing from the previous year. The level of patient compliance with treatment is one of the determining factors for the success of therapy. This study aims to provide an understanding of the factors that influence the level of compliance of TB patients with the use of Anti-Tuberculosis Drugs (OAT) at the Limapuluh Community Health Center. The method of service carried out is in the form of communication, information and education related to the use of Anti-Tuberculosis Drugs. The socialization was carried out online through a zoom meeting with the presentation of material and continued with a pretest and posttest as a measuring tool regarding the increase in participants' understanding of the material presented. This activity was carried out on January 06, 2024 at 10.00-12.00 WIB. The results of this service are the counseling material provided to students seen from the posttest results which show that the understanding and increase in knowledge of the participants is good compared to the results of the previous pretest points. In conclusion, students who take part in this activity can further explore the factors that affect patient compliance in taking OAT drugs so that similar activities can be carried out regularly to prevent errors in the use of Anti Tuberculosis drugs.

Abstract

The increase in processed food consumption has led to an increase in the use of food additives. However, public understanding of food additives and their health impacts remains minimal, especially among high school students. Private High School Harapan 3 is one such private school located in Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra, bordering the city of Medan, which has garnered attention due to the high number of students consuming food or snacks containing additives without knowing the negative effects of excessive consumption. This forms the basis for the need to conduct awareness activities at the school. Therefore, this community service activity aims to provide a better understanding to students as participants about food additives and their negative health effects. The implementation method of this activity consists of several stages. Firstly, the preparation of interesting and easily understandable counseling materials, covering the introduction of additives, their types, and their health impacts. Secondly, direct counseling conducted by lecturers from various disciplines interactively by providing relevant case examples. Thirdly, group discussions to deepen understanding and resolve participants' doubts. Fourthly, a question and answer session. The results of this activity show an improvement in participants' understanding, evident from their enthusiasm in asking questions because they realize the importance of choosing healthy foods and avoiding those with excessive additives. Group discussions help them understand information more deeply, while the question and answer session provides an opportunity to clarify doubts. Through this activity, we have successfully increased participants' understanding of food additives and their health impacts. Thus, participants are expected to apply this knowledge in their daily lives as smart and responsible consumers when choosing food.

Abstract

The number of elderly people worldwide is estimated to increase by 56% between 2015 and 2030. In Indonesia, the number of elderly people is estimated to increase by 23.66 million people, and is expected to continue to increase until 2035. Impaired cognitive function is one of the most common symptoms in the elderly. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2017 there were 47 million people worldwide who experienced impaired cognitive function. Therefore, appropriate treatment is needed to improve the cognitive function of the elderly. Due to impaired cognitive function, a person becomes dependent on other people to care for themselves. To overcome this cognitive function disorder, it is necessary to carry out community service activities (PKM) in the form of outreach to the community about the importance of Pilates training for the elderly with the aim of overcoming cognitive function disorders in the elderly. Pilates exercise combines strength, flexibility and balance. Pilates exercise is a sport that focuses on lumbo-pelvic stabilization and activation of other body muscles. The methods applied in this activity are lectures, discussions and demonstrations of Pilates exercises and evaluation. Based on the results of the evaluation carried out, this socialization activity shows positive and satisfying benefits for the elderly where the elderly's understanding of Pilates exercises has improved. Previously they felt the exercises were very heavy and difficult to implement, but after doing them it turned out that these exercises were very interesting and easy to do. In fact, most of the elderly show a very high desire to continue to learn more and practice these exercises. Overall, this socialization activity received a positive response from the elderly, so it is hoped that it can encourage and motivate the elderly to independently carry out this exercise, considering that Pilates training is very useful in improving cognitive function. By increasing the understanding and interest of the elderly in this exercise, the elderly can develop this exercise on an ongoing basis, both individually and in groups, in order to maintain, develop and improve the cognitive function of the elderly so as to achieve the quality of society in general.

Abstract

Baby growth and development is an indicator of baby health. Data from WHO shows that a number of toddlers experience motor disorders, which can include fine motor skills and gross motor skills. Infancy is considered a critical and environmentally sensitive period, so optimizing care during this period has a significant impact on the child's well-being. Baby massage is recognized as a useful therapy for encouraging children's growth and development. However, mothers' low knowledge of independent baby massage techniques can affect their skills in carrying out baby massage. Therefore, an educational approach through counseling is considered an effective strategy for increasing mothers' understanding and skills. Community service activities (PKM) carried out at the Sahabat Bunda Midwife Clinic involve material presentations, question and answer discussions, and demonstrations as learning methods. The results of the PKM show that the material presented can be well understood and responded to by mothers. Positive feedback received indicates achievement of extension targets. Significantly, mothers' knowledge and skills regarding baby massage increased, as seen from their ability to answer questions and carry out baby massage demonstrations. It is hoped that through this PKM activity, mothers can be independent in carrying out baby massage, so that they can make a positive contribution to the optimal growth and development of their babies.

Abstract

Hypertension is a health disorder that causes an increase in blood pressure. Hypertension can cause serious complications in the form of stroke. These significant complications can be life threatening and even death. Stroke is a global health problem with more than 15 million people annually experiencing this condition worldwide. This study was conducted on 30 individuals who visited the Pagar Jati Community Health Center, using the accidental sampling method, to explore the contribution of community participation in increasing awareness about hypertension and promoting preventive behavior. Through outreach activities and public campaigns, community participation has succeeded in increasing understanding of the importance of regular health check-ups by checking blood pressure and consuming foods with balanced nutrition, including low salt, thereby preventing hypertension. Evaluating the effectiveness of the community service program using a questionnaire showed an increase from 70% at the pretest stage to 93% at the posttest stage. This reflects a significant increase in awareness, knowledge and preventive measures against complications of hypertension, such as stroke, in the community areas served by health community center (Puskesmas) Pagar Jati. Collaboration between health workers, local government, educational institutions and the community is the key to the success of this program. Although challenges remain such as limited access and inequality of information, community service has proven to be an effective tool in strengthening the community response to hypertension and advancing overall community health.
