Abstract

Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) is an important aspect that should be introduced from an early age to build safe behavior and a strong safety culture in the school environment. However, the knowledge and safety awareness of elementary school students still need to be improved through educational approaches that are appropriate to their learning characteristics. This community service activity aims to enhance students’ knowledge and safety awareness through OSH education based on social media. The program was conducted with 30 elementary school students through three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The intervention was delivered using social media-based safety education combined with interactive lectures, discussions, and question-and-answer sessions. Evaluation was carried out using pre-test and post-test to measure changes in students’ knowledge and safety awareness before and after the activity. The results showed an improvement in both measured aspects. In terms of knowledge, the “good” category increased from 26.7% to 80.0%, while the “poor” category decreased from 40.0% to 3.3%. In terms of safety awareness, the “good” category increased from 30.0% to 83.3%, while the “poor” category decreased from 33.3% to 3.3%. These findings indicate that OSH education delivered through social media is effective in improving students’ understanding and safety awareness. This activity is expected to serve as a promotive and educational strategy in supporting the development of an early safety culture in elementary school environments

Abstract

Breast milk is a vital source of nutrition for an infant's growth, development, and immune system. However, not all breastfeeding mothers are able to produce breast milk optimally, necessitating efforts to facilitate smooth milk production. Date palm extract is a potential non-pharmacological alternative, as it contains various nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds that may support lactation. In light of this, a community service initiative was conducted in Sekip Village (Sederhana Hamlet), Lubuk Pakam, involving health education and guidance on the benefits and use of date palm extract to improve breast milk flow. The activity aimed to enhance breastfeeding mothers' knowledge and awareness regarding the importance of nutrition during lactation and to encourage successful exclusive breastfeeding. The methods employed included education, guidance, and evaluation using pre- and post-tests to assess breast milk flow. Results showed that prior to the intervention, 17 respondents (68%) experienced poor breast milk flow, while only 8 (32%) had good flow. Following the education, guidance, and a five-day regimen of date palm extract, the number of respondents with good breast milk flow increased to 21 (84%), while those experiencing poor flow decreased to 4 (16%). Furthermore, participants demonstrated increased knowledge and enthusiasm throughout the activity. Thus, education and guidance on the use of date palm extract serve as an effective non-pharmacological, health-promoting strategy to support smooth breast milk production, successful exclusive breastfeeding, and the overall health of mothers and infants.

Abstract

Anemia remains one of the most common nutritional problems among adolescent girls, primarily caused by inadequate iron intake and increased iron requirements during growth. Limited knowledge regarding iron-rich foods can increase the risk of anemia. This community service activity aimed to improve adolescent girls' knowledge about anemia prevention through the consumption of iron-rich foods. The program was conducted in May 2026 at SMA Muhammadiyah 5 Lubuk Pakam, North Sumatra, involving 30 female students of grade XII. The educational intervention consisted of interactive lectures, discussions, and simulations using food cards based on the Indonesian Food Composition Table (TKPI) to identify iron-rich food sources. Evaluation was carried out using pre-test and post-test assessments. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ knowledge after the educational program. Before the intervention, 36.7% of participants had good knowledge, 43.3% had moderate knowledge, and 20.0% had poor knowledge. After the intervention, the proportion of students with good knowledge increased to 86.7%, while 13.3% remained in the moderate category and no students were classified as having poor knowledge. Participants also demonstrated high enthusiasm during discussions and simulations and were able to identify iron-rich foods and strategies to enhance iron absorption. These findings indicate that nutrition education on the consumption of iron-rich foods is effective in improving knowledge and understanding among adolescent girls as an effort to prevent anemia.

Abstract

Traditional herbal medicine remains widely consumed by Indonesian communities to maintain health and alleviate various health complaints, including musculoskeletal pain. However, the high demand for herbal remedies for aches and pains is often accompanied by the circulation of products adulterated with medicinal chemical substances, such as paracetamol and mefenamic acid, which are prohibited in traditional herbal medicines. This community service program aimed to improve public knowledge and awareness regarding the presence of medicinal chemical substances in herbal remedies for musculoskeletal pain circulating within the community. The program was implemented using an educative-participatory approach through interactive lectures, group discussions, simple case studies, and question-and-answer sessions. A total of 40 participants were selected through purposive sampling and attended all stages of the program. Evaluation was conducted using pre-test and post-test questionnaires, participation observation sheets, and participant satisfaction surveys. The results demonstrated a substantial improvement in participants’ knowledge, with the mean score increasing from 57.63 in the pre-test to 86.25 in the post-test, representing an increase of 28.62 points. The proportion of participants categorized as having good knowledge increased from 15.0% to 85.0%, while those in the poor knowledge category decreased from 45.0% to 2.5%. Participant engagement was also high, with 82.5% categorized as active or highly active throughout the program. Satisfaction assessment revealed that more than 95% of participants were satisfied or very satisfied with the overall implementation of the activity. These findings indicate that the educational intervention was effective in enhancing public understanding of the risks associated with medicinal chemical substances in traditional herbal products and encouraging the selection of safe herbal medicines for consumption.

Abstract

Hypertension is one of the most prevalent non-communicable diseases and a major public health concern due to its association with cardiovascular disease, stroke, and kidney failure. Limited knowledge and poor self-care management among hypertensive patients may lead to uncontrolled blood pressure and an increased risk of complications. Therefore, educational interventions are needed to improve patients’ ability to manage their condition independently. This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge, skills, and self-care management behaviors of hypertensive patients in Huta Durian Village, Bintang Bayu District. The program was conducted through health education sessions, demonstrations, discussions, and hands-on practice related to hypertension management. A total of 30 hypertensive patients participated in the activity. Evaluation was carried out using pretest and posttest assessments to measure knowledge improvement, while observation was used to assess participants’ self-care management skills and behaviors. The results showed that the average knowledge score increased from 62.3 before the intervention to 86.7 after the educational program. Self-care management skills also improved, including the ability to measure blood pressure correctly (30.0% to 83.3%), understanding of a low-salt diet (40.0% to 86.7%), performing simple hypertension exercises (36.7% to 90.0%), understanding relaxation techniques (26.7% to 80.0%), and recording blood pressure monitoring results (23.3% to 83.3%). Positive behavioral changes were also observed in medication adherence, reduced salt intake, regular physical activity, routine blood pressure monitoring, and stress management. Self-care management education was effective in improving the knowledge, skills, and behaviors of hypertensive patients. This program can serve as a health promotion strategy to support hypertension control and improve community quality of life.

Abstract

Breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent health problems among women and may cause long-term physical, psychological, social, and emotional consequences. Mastectomy, which is commonly performed as part of breast cancer treatment, can improve survival outcomes; however, postoperative changes in body appearance often affect body image, self-confidence, and the overall quality of life of survivors. In addition, weight fluctuations during the recovery period may influence Body Mass Index (BMI) and psychological well-being. This community service program aimed to improve breast cancer survivors’ knowledge and ability to adopt healthy lifestyle practices for maintaining an optimal BMI, increase awareness of physical and psychological health, and strengthen self-confidence following cancer treatment. The program was implemented using an educational-participatory approach through health education sessions, interactive discussions, nutritional status consultations, light physical activity demonstrations, and experience-sharing sessions. Evaluation was conducted using pretest and posttest assessments involving 20 breast cancer survivors aged 35–60 years at Grandmed Hospital, Lubuk Pakam. The results demonstrated that the proportion of participants with a good level of knowledge increased from 20.0% to 80.0%, while those with poor knowledge decreased from 45.0% to 0%. The mean knowledge score improved from 58.5 to 85.5, representing an increase of 27.0 points (46.2%). Furthermore, 90.0% of participants understood how to maintain an ideal BMI, 100.0% recognized the importance of regular physical activity, and 85.0% reported increased self-confidence after participating in the program. Participant satisfaction ranged from 75.0% to 85.0%. In conclusion, healthy lifestyle promotion was effective in improving knowledge, understanding, and self-confidence among breast cancer survivors, thereby supporting the adoption of sustainable healthy lifestyle behaviors.

Abstract

Gastritis is one of the primary health problems in Indonesia, with a high prevalence largely triggered by the uncontrolled use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin. Aspirin is known to induce gastric ulcers through direct irritation and the inhibition of prostaglandin production. As a preventive alternative, the anting-anting plant (Acalypha indica L.) contains phytochemicals such as flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and alkaloids, which are proven effective as gastroprotective or gastric mucosal protective agents. This community service activity aims to educate residents regarding the risks of NSAID side effects and to promote the utilization of anting-anting leaf extract to prevent gastric damage. The activity was implemented using an educational-participatory approach involving 45 respondents in the Lubuk Pakam region, consisting of health cadres, the elderly, and housewives. Evaluation was conducted by measuring knowledge levels using pre-test and post-test questionnaires, as well as a participant satisfaction survey. The results of the activity showed a sharp and measurable increase in clinical pharmacology literacy. Prior to the education, 82.2% of respondents had a poor level of knowledge regarding the side effects of aspirin. However, after the interactive counseling, 68.9% of respondents achieved a good knowledge category. Additionally, 84.4% of respondents expressed high satisfaction with the overall benefits of this community service program. This education successfully bridges laboratory research findings into the practical realm, which is expected to encourage the implementation of safer self-medication and rational therapy within the community.
