Abstract

Background: Adolescents are an age group experiencing various behavioral changes, including changes in food consumption patterns influenced by technological advances, social environments, and modern lifestyles. One of the changes that is often found is the increase in fast food consumption. Excessive fast food consumption can have negative impacts on health, including increasing the risk of obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, digestive disorders, and various other non-communicable diseases. Low knowledge about the health impacts of fast food consumption is also a factor that causes this consumption behavior to continue to increase, so efforts are needed to increase adolescent awareness about the importance of healthy eating patterns. Objective: This community service activity aims to increase the level of knowledge and awareness of students regarding the impact of fast food consumption on health through the implementation of a health education program. The activity was carried out at MTsN 2 Deli Serdang Regency, involving 45 students as participants. Method: The approach used includes delivering material through health counseling using presentation media and leaflets, interactive discussions, question and answer sessions, and knowledge evaluation through pre-tests and post-tests. Results: There was an increase in participants' knowledge after participating in the socialization activity with an average pre-test score of 44.4 increasing to 88.9 in the post-test, indicating an increase in knowledge of 44.5 points. The results of the activity indicate that health socialization is effective in increasing adolescents' knowledge and awareness regarding the negative impacts of fast food consumption on health. This increased understanding is expected to encourage the formation of healthier eating behaviors as a preventive measure to reduce the risk of various diseases in the future.

Abstract

Background: Peripheral Blood Smear (PBS) examination is a crucial hematology test for evaluating blood cell morphology, particularly that of erythrocytes. The quality of the results is heavily influenced by pre-analytical stages, one of which is the fixation process. Variations in fixation time can affect erythrocyte morphology and staining outcomes; therefore, a proper understanding of the correct procedure is essential. This outreach activity aimed to enhance participants' knowledge and understanding regarding the impact of varying PBS fixation times on erythrocyte morphology when using Giemsa staining. The activity began with a preparation phase involving coordination between the organizing team and the institution regarding the schedule, venue, provision of equipment and materials, and the development of educational content. The implementation phase commenced with participant registration and the opening of the event by the moderator. Following the presentation of the material, a laboratory demonstration was conducted. The organizing team showcased PBS preparations created using methanol fixation times of 1, 3, 5, and 10 minutes. The results indicated that the participants' average knowledge level rose from 59.3% prior to the activity to 95.0% afterward, representing an average increase of 35.7%. The most significant improvement was observed in the understanding of how fixation time variations affect erythrocyte morphology, rising from 47% to 92% (a 45% increase). Appropriate fixation times yielded clearer erythrocyte images, intact cell shapes, and even color distribution, whereas fixation times that were too short or too long compromised the quality of the preparations. This activity successfully broadened participants' insight into the importance of standardizing the fixation process in hematology testing to ensure accurate results that support rapid and precise diagnoses.
