Abstract

The modernization of lifestyle among today’s adolescents has led to significant changes in daily consumption patterns. Many teenagers tend to prefer fast food that is high in sugar, salt, and fat, but low in nutritional value. This condition may lead to various long-term health problems if not accompanied by adequate nutritional education and awareness. This community service activity aims to integrate pharmaceutical science concepts into the education of healthy and functional food preparation at SMK Negeri Pantai Labu. The implementation method consisted of several stages: initial observation of students’ knowledge and habits, delivery of interactive educational materials, hands-on practice in preparing functional food products, and evaluation through pre-test and post-test instruments. This activity involved 30 students from the culinary arts department. Evaluation results showed a significant improvement across all aspects: knowledge of healthy food increased from 55.0 to 85.3; understanding of functional food from 47.5 to 82.0; understanding of active compounds from 41.2 to 78.5; food preparation skills from 50.4 to 80.6; and awareness of food safety from 52.8 to 86.7. The average overall improvement reached 67.3%. This community service activity concludes that an educational approach based on pharmaceutical science, when applied through culinary practice, is proven to be effective in enhancing students’ competencies, not only in terms of academic knowledge and health awareness but also in fostering entrepreneurial potential in the field of local food.

Abstract

Type II Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic condition whose prevalence continues to rise in Indonesia. Although insulin therapy is commonly administered to patients, their knowledgeparticularly regarding the appropriate timing of insulin injection remains relatively low. This limited understanding may contribute to unstable blood glucose levels, highlighting the need for personalized management strategies, especially in the scheduling of insulin administration. This community engagement program was implemented through health education and counseling methods aimed at promoting a more proactive and preventive approach in the management of Type II DM. The educational strategy adopted was both informative and interactive, designed to enhance the comprehension of 18 outpatient participants diagnosed with Type II DM. The findings demonstrated that participants showed strong enthusiasm throughout the intervention, driven by a recognized need to better understand insulin injection timing and postprandial glucose control. Moreover, there was a measurable improvement in knowledge, with an average increase of 27.7 points from pre-test to post-test assessments. This outcome affirms the effectiveness of the health education activity in achieving the intended objectives of the program. Participants also expressed interest in the continuation of similar educational efforts in the future. Additionally, the distribution of educational materials in the form of leaflets containing guidance on insulin injection schedules, meal timing, and adherence to effective insulin therapy protocols served as a practical tool for application at home. In conclusion, this educational initiative successfully enhanced patient health literacy and provided effective guidance to support diabetes self-management. Furthermore, the activity contributed to improving the overall quality of life for patients by supporting better glycemic control and preventing long-term complications.

Abstract

Coffee is one of the most favored beverages globally, including in Indonesia. High work pressure and busy daily activities have encouraged increased coffee consumption, particularly among Generation Z, to maintain alertness and performance. However, excessive coffee intake may elevate the risk of gastritis. Gastritis is an inflammation of the gastric mucosa, which can be triggered by various factors, including high caffeine consumption. This Community Service (PkM) program aimed to raise awareness among Generation Z regarding the potential risk of gastritis due to uncontrolled coffee intake. The activity was conducted using a participatory educational approach, enabling participants to engage actively in the learning process. Educational content was delivered through lectures, discussions, and the distribution of informative leaflets to enhance participants’ knowledge. The activity began with a pre-test and concluded with a post-test to assess knowledge improvement. The participants consisted of Generation Z adolescents aged 17 to 25, who were visitors or interns at Grandmed Hospital, Lubuk Pakam. The results revealed that 17 participants (85%) regularly consumed at least one cup of coffee daily, and 15 participants (75%) frequently experienced gastric discomfort following coffee consumption. After the educational session, there was an average knowledge increase of 28.5 points, and 19 participants (95%) showed improved scores and expressed satisfaction with the PkM program. This community service activity has proven effective in increasing public awareness, promoting proper coffee consumption behavior, and potentially reducing the risk of gastritis.

Abstract

Maternal and infant mortality remain significant public health challenges in Indonesia, particularly in rural areas where awareness and access to healthcare are limited. This community service aimed to improve pregnant women’s understanding of the importance of antenatal care (ANC) as a preventive measure to enhance maternal and child well-being. The program was conducted at Klinik Pratama Rawat Inap Mars Deli Serdang and involved 35 pregnant women. Education was delivered through direct counseling sessions that included materials on ANC visit schedules, early detection of pregnancy complications, nutrition, and birth preparedness. Pre- and post-tests were used to evaluate changes in knowledge and attitudes. The results show a marked increase in the participants’ understanding of ANC, with a rise in knowledge from 40% to 88% after the session. Participants expressed greater motivation to attend routine ANC visits and actively engaged in discussions. The findings suggest that community-based education significantly enhances awareness and fosters positive behavioral change regarding ANC compliance. Collaboration between healthcare professionals, clinics, and academic institutions is crucial to sustain and expand such initiatives for long-term maternal and child health improvement.

Abstract

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is one of the key contributors to the deterioration of skin structure and function. Its harmful effects include premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and increased risk of skin cancer. One of the underlying mechanisms of this damage is the formation of free radicals, which trigger oxidative stress, compromise cellular integrity, and reduce the skin’s natural defense capacity. The use of skin protection products such as sunscreen serves as a preventive measure in daily skincare routines. This community service (PkM) activity was conducted through an interactive model of education and demonstration, aimed at enhancing public knowledge and awareness regarding the benefits of natural antioxidants available in sunscreen gel formulations derived from green tea leaf extract. The program was designed with an educational and participatory approach, in which the materials were delivered through theoretical explanations and simple practical demonstrations. The participants consisted of 25 individuals, both male and female, aged between 17 and 40 years, residing in the Lubuk Pakam area. The results of the activity showed a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge, with an average post-test score of 89.98 compared to a pre-test score of 56.05 indicating a substantial knowledge gain of 33.93 points, which falls into the "very high" category. This community outreach proved effective in increasing public understanding of the use of natural antioxidants in sunscreen products. Furthermore, participant satisfaction was remarkably high, with an average satisfaction rating of 96.4%, categorized as "Very Satisfied." In conclusion, this PkM activity successfully enhanced the participants’ knowledge regarding natural skin protection strategies, and participants expressed strong satisfaction with the implementation of the program.

Abstract

Postural disorders in children are abnormalities in body alignment that can lead to long-term musculoskeletal health issues. Poor posture can cause muscle imbalance, chronic pain, and even growth problems. Contributing factors include incorrect sitting habits, excessive gadget use, lack of physical activity, and heavy school bags. Education for children and parents on proper posture is an important strategy to prevent these issues. This community service activity was conducted in Sidodadi Village, Beringin District, involving elementary students and their parents. The results showed that the majority of participants were unaware of ideal posture and the importance of early detection of disorders such as kyphosis, scoliosis, and lordosis. Through this education, participants gained awareness about the importance of maintaining good daily habits to support healthy posture.

Abstract

habits have not reached their full potential. Washing hands properly is one of the important yet sometimes overlooked hygiene and healthy living practices. Initial observations at Al-Shafa Kindergarten revealed that most students were unable to perform efficient handwashing techniques according to health standards and were unaware of critical times to wash their hands. This can increase the possibility of disease transmission from unclean hands. The purpose of community service is to build good living habits that can stop the spread of disease through dirty hands. The activity method uses an educational and participatory approach through interactive counseling methods, demonstrations, and direct practice, which are designed according to the characteristics of early childhood. Community service was carried out at Al-Shafa Kindergarten, Lubuk Pakam, Deli Serdang Regency, with 16 children. The results of the Community Service activity showed that 81.3% of children were able to mention important times to wash their hands and 75% of children were able to follow the six steps to wash their hands correctly. This shows that this Community Service activity has achieved a success rate (78.15%) in forming children's understanding and basic skills about PHBS. Health education activities on effective hand washing at Al-Shafa Kindergarten have succeeded in increasing the knowledge and skills of early childhood in maintaining hand hygiene. Interactive, fun, and age-appropriate learning approaches have proven effective in forming clean living behaviors from an early age. The involvement of teachers and the school environment is an important supporting factor in the success of this activity. It is hoped that this education can be the beginning of positive habits that are sustainable in the school environment and at home.
