Abstract

Background: Ineffective waste management has become a serious problem in many areas, both urban and rural. Accumulating rubbish can pollute the environment, cause various diseases and damage the ecosystem. One effective approach to overcome this problem is through providing education about management and the establishment of community-based waste banks. Objective: Community service activities have the aim of providing education and empowering the community in waste management through the formation and management of waste banks. Method: This community service activity goes through several stages, namely identification and analysis of needs; discussions with village officials, community leaders and stakeholders; preparation of activity programs; material determination; preparation of facilities and infrastructure; providing education about waste management and socializing waste banks; establishing a waste bank management structure as well as monitoring and evaluation. Results: The result of this community service activity is an increase in community understanding about good waste management by 80% and the formation of 1 waste bank unit that can be utilized by the community as well as the formation of a management structure for waste bank management. It is hoped that by establishing a waste bank unit, the community will have access to a more structured waste management system, while also gaining economic benefits from inorganic waste management.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is a serious public health problem in Indonesia. The rapid spread of pulmonary TB, especially through droplets, requires good understanding from the public to reduce the risk of transmission. This Community Service (PKM) aims to increase public knowledge regarding the mechanism of pulmonary TB transmission through health education programs at the Bandar Khalipah Community Health Center. The approach used is interactive counseling which covers topics about the meaning of TB, symptoms, ways of transmission, and preventive measures. This activity is aimed at TB patients and families around the community health center. The results showed a significant increase in the participants' level of understanding after attending the counseling, based on analysis before and after the activity. This shows that structured and interactive health education is effective in increasing community knowledge about pulmonary TB transmission, thus contributing to disease prevention and control at the community level.

Abstract

Pregnancy is a process in which a woman carries a fetus after it occurs. In the process of labor, anxiety often arises in the prospective mother so it is recommended that the mother do light exercise such as yoga. Yoga is a recommended choice in preparation for labor, because this exercise is able to control breathing and relax the mind. Yoga breathing exercises will accelerate the blood flow rate so that oxygen is fulfilled for the mother and her fetus. In addition, yoga is also able to control anxiety so that it can achieve better health during childbirth. Training activities were given to 20 pregnant women participants at the Matahari clinic. The increase in knowledge of PkM participants was assessed based on the average pre- and post-test scores after being given material, demonstrations, and direct training. Yoga exercises for pregnant women were carried out based on standard SOPs, which were assisted by the PkM team in their implementation. The results of the training showed that PkM participants were able to carry out yoga exercises according to the SOP. In addition, participants also received direct benefits in the form of physical and mental health. Through this training, it can also be seen that there has been an increase in participants' knowledge about yoga exercises in overcoming anxiety with a pre-test score of 5.95 to a post-test score of 7.55. Yoga exercises have been proven to improve participants' knowledge and skills in carrying out yoga exercises which are useful in maintaining health and controlling anxiety when giving birth.

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.

Abstract

Inflammation or wounds are a response to disruption of body tissue due to physical, chemical, or biological factors. Wounds often occur in the layers of the skin, muscles, tissues, and organs of the body. Wounds cause various conditions such as pain, bleeding, and swelling. Cat's whiskers leaves contain flavonoid, polyphenol, and terpenoid compounds that can be useful as antioxidants, antibacterials, and anti-wound agents. The purpose of this socialization is to increase public knowledge about plants around them that can be used for health, such as treating wounds using cat's whiskers leaves. The Community Service activity was carried out through a socialization attended by 25 participants who were residents around the Lubuk Pakam sub-district. The material that was socialized was about the benefits of cat's whiskers leaves in healing wounds, chemical compound content, and the process of extracting cat's whiskers leaves. The level of knowledge of participants was measured based on the pre-test and post-test scores filled in by the Community Service participants to assess the success of the implementation of this socialization activity. The results showed that cat's whiskers leaves can be used as an anti-wound medicine because they are rich in secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, polyphenols, and terpenoids. The process of extracting cat's whiskers leaves can be done through soaking or boiling techniques. After the PkM material was socialized, there was an increase in participant knowledge into the good and very good knowledge categories with percentages of 52% and 28% respectively, where previously knowledge was more dominant in the less and sufficient categories with percentages of 48% and 40%. This PkM activity provides benefits to the community in the form of new knowledge about the benefits of cat's whiskers leaves which can act as an anti-wound medicine.
