Abstract

The postpartum period is a critical period for the life of the mother and the newborn baby, which can often result in death. Intensive care is always needed to avoid the dangers of complications. If the postpartum mother experiences anemia, the hemoglobin level will be less than 11 gr / dl. In order for postpartum mothers to avoid anemia, it is recommended to consume at least 90 iron tablets. Green beans generally contain 6.7 mg of iron in 100 grams. This socialization activity aims to increase the knowledge of PkM participants in implementing the right actions when postpartum mothers experience anemia. The process of consuming green bean juice is also relatively practical for postpartum mothers so that it is easy to prepare. Community service activities in the form of providing material in the form of socialization, where before and after the socialization, pre and post-tests will be given to measure the increase in knowledge. PkM participants numbered 20 postpartum mothers at the Pratama Cahaya clinic. The average pre-test score for PkM participants was 57.5 or categorized as less good and there was an increase after the post-test to 74.5 which was categorized as good. It can be seen that there was an increase in knowledge of 17.0. This socialization succeeded in increasing participants' knowledge regarding the benefits of green bean juice, the process of preparing green bean juice to be served, and the impact on pregnant women if Hb levels are low during the postpartum period.

Abstract

Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is a global commitment to ensure that all people have access to quality health services without facing financial hardship. In Indonesia, the National Health Insurance (JKN) program managed by BPJS Kesehatan aims to provide protection and benefits of health services, including promotive, preventive, curative, and rehabilitative services. However, challenges related to public understanding of this program are still significant. Based on observations in Perbarakan Village, Deli Serdang, the majority of people have minimal knowledge about JKN. Therefore, community service activities in the form of counseling were designed to improve their understanding of JKN. Socialization activities were carried out in Perbarakan Village, Deli Serdang Regency, involving 50 participants in the format of lectures, discussions, and questionnaire distribution. The pretest results showed low public knowledge about the JKN program, with only 35% of participants knowing basic information. After being given education, there was a significant increase in the post-test results, with 100% of respondents answering correctly, recording a 65% increase in knowledge. In addition, understanding of the procedure for moving primary health facilities increased by 48%.These findings suggest that clear and structured education can increase public awareness and understanding, which in turn supports the achievement of UHC goals. Therefore, appropriate and sustainable socialization is essential to ensure active community participation in the JKN program, so that it can expand access and utilization of quality health services. This counseling is expected to encourage public awareness to register as JKN participants, strengthen health protection, and support the achievement of UHC in Indonesia.

Abstract

Pregnancy is a time full of physical and emotional changes, which are often accompanied by various discomforts. One effort to reduce this discomfort is through pregnancy exercise, which has been proven to provide both physical and psychological benefits. This community service aims to explore the impact of pregnancy exercise counseling and assistance in reducing discomfort during pregnancy. This activity was carried out on November 5 2024 at the Matahari Clinic Tanjung Morawa involving 14 pregnant women who underwent ANC visits. Through counseling about pregnancy exercise and practical assistance, pregnant women are given an understanding of the benefits of pregnancy exercise in reducing physical complaints such as back pain and leg cramps, as well as reducing anxiety that is often experienced during pregnancy. The results of the activity showed that pregnant women who participated felt calmer and had better physical readiness before giving birth. Thus, counseling and assistance with pregnancy exercise can be an effective method in improving the well-being of pregnant women, both physically and psychologically, during pregnancy.

Abstract

Food quality needs to be considered, especially for the nutrition and chemical content contained therein. One of these chemicals can act as a sweetener which can enhance the taste and aroma of a product. The artificial sweetener is saccharin, which is generally added to packaged food and beverage products. However, the permitted use of saccharin in a product is around 0.005 - 0.03%. If the quantity of saccharin exceeds the threshold, it will cause health problems such as nervous diseases, hypertension, and cancer. This socialization activity aims to educate the public to be more concerned about health by carefully reading the composition of packaged beverage products before consuming them. The Community Service activity was carried out through socialization which was attended by 20 participants, namely residents around the Lubuk Pakam sub-district. The procedure for this activity includes a pre-test, provision of materials, discussion, questions and answers, and a post-test. The increase in participant knowledge is measured based on the pre-test and post-test scores of the participants. The Community Service results showed that several packaged beverage products actually contained saccharin in amounts that exceeded the threshold. In addition, this socialization also further increases awareness and presents a more careful attitude in participants in reading the composition of packaged beverage products before consuming them. Then the results showed that there was an increase in the knowledge of Community Service participants who initially dominated the category of knowledge that was not good and quite good to good and very good. The Community Service activities through this socialization have proven to be useful in increasing participants' knowledge regarding the presence of saccharin in packaged beverage products.

Abstract

In Indonesia, the country faced a triple burden of malnutrition, including undernutrition, overnutrition, and micronutrient imbalances. The phenomena of wasting and underweight among toddlers were influenced by factors such as parental education, maternal knowledge, environmental conditions, health issues, awareness of nutrition, and the nutritional intake of toddlers. This activity aimed to improve knowledge about balanced nutrition to address wasting and underweight issues, as well as to monitor the nutritional status of toddlers in Lestari Dadi Pegajahan Village. The implementation method involved providing education on balanced nutrition to combat wasting and underweight, using health promotion media such as leaflets, PowerPoint presentations, and banners. Before the material presentation and leaflet distribution, participants completed a pretest about balanced nutrition and toddlers' nutritional status. After the education session, the nutritional status of toddlers was measured using a baby scale, weight scale, and microtoise. The measurement results were compared to the data from the previous month. Additionally, nutrition consultations were conducted with participants, and a posttest was administered at the end of the activity to measure changes in participants' knowledge. The posttest and pretest used the same set of 20 questions. The results showed an increase in the number of mothers with good knowledge, rising to 14 participants (70%) out of 20. Monitoring toddlers' nutritional status revealed 2 cases (10%) of underweight, 6 cases (30%) of wasting, and 12 cases (60%) of normal nutrition. In conclusion, this education activity successfully improved participants' knowledge, which they were able to apply in daily life.

Abstract

The skin plays a role in protecting bones and muscles, which are generally soft and elastic. In order for the skin to be well protected, internal and external care is needed. Internal skin care is obtained by consuming healthy foods. While external skin care is through the use of preparations directly on the skin. Several types of skin damage occur due to exposure to free radicals, such as exposure to UV rays. To avoid these dangers, a lotion that can act as an antioxidant is needed. Papaya seeds are rich in antioxidants that can increase skin moisture so that they are recommended as a basic ingredient for making lotion. The purpose of this socialization is to educate the public to be more concerned about health by using the right skin moisturizing lotion. PKM activities were carried out through socialization attended by 50 people around the Pantai Labu sub-district. The socialization material presented was about the use of papaya seed extract lotion as a skin moisturizer. The team also taught participants to be more careful in choosing cosmetics before using them. Increased knowledge was measured based on the pre-test and post-test values ??obtained from all participants. The results showed that there had been an increase in the knowledge of PkM participants, where the level of knowledge became high and very high with a percentage of 50% and 30%. Increased knowledge in the form of understanding about the preparation of papaya seed extract lotion that is stable and has a distinctive aroma. The lotion is also safe for the skin because the acidity level is appropriate and does not irritate the skin. This PkM activity has proven to have increased the understanding of PkM participants that lotions made from plant extracts are actually worthy of being used as an alternative for skin care.
