Abstract

Introduction & Aim: Oral and dental health problems among early childhood remain high, as indicated by the high prevalence of dental caries among children in Indonesia. The low level of proper toothbrushing behavior is one of the main contributing factors. This community service activity aims to improve the knowledge and skills of kindergarten children in maintaining oral and dental health, as well as to promote healthy habits from an early age. Method of Activity: The activity was conducted in the form of health promotion through education, simulation, and question-and-answer sessions. The strategies included: (1) delivering educational materials on oral and dental health, (2) using PowerPoint and animation media to attract children’s attention, (3) conducting simulations using dental mannequins as practical tools, (4) demonstrating proper toothbrushing techniques accompanied by educational songs, and (5) evaluating participants through direct observation of their understanding and participation. The target participants were 95 students of TK Kuncup Harapan. Results: The activity involved 95 students divided into two sessions. The results showed that the students understood the material and were able to demonstrate proper toothbrushing techniques. All participants showed high enthusiasm during the simulation and interactive activities. Discussion: This health promotion activity was effective in improving children’s knowledge and skills regarding oral and dental care. The use of interactive educational methods, such as animation and simulation, proved to enhance children’s participation. This activity also serves as a preventive effort to reduce the risk of dental caries and to support the improvement of children’s health status from an early age.

Abstract

Introduction & Aim: Many adolescents have a habit of consuming junk food due to its taste and convenience. Excessive consumption can lead to various health problems such as obesity, digestive disorders, and an increased risk of chronic diseases. This community service aimed to improve adolescents’ knowledge and awareness of the impacts of junk food consumption through a health literacy approach. Method of Activity: This activity was conducted in the Tenggumung Wetan area of Surabaya, involving 21 adolescents aged 14–20 years. The activity began with a baseline survey and was followed by health education using an interactive approach. Participants completed a knowledge questionnaire regarding junk food consumption before the educational session. The educational intervention was delivered through the screening of educational videos and the use of the GIVIC board game as an interactive learning tool. Results: An increase in adolescents’ knowledge following the health education session. Knowledge levels rose from 42.85% before the activity to 57% afterward. Respondent characteristics were dominated by adolescents aged 17–18 years (42.82%), females (61.90%), and high school graduates (66.67%). Discussion: Health literacy-based health education using interactive learning media, such as educational videos and board games, can improve adolescents’ knowledge of the dangers of consuming junk food. These methods can increase participants’ active engagement, reinforce understanding, and help adolescents retain the health information provided.

Abstract

Introduction & Objective: Obesity has become a global health problem that requires sustainable intervention. This activity aims to build active movement habits in obese people through the implementation of the "Sit Less, Move More" program. The purpose of this activity is to reduce daily sitting time by up to 30 minutes, increase light to moderate physical activity, and create an environment that supports healthy behavior. Method: Using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach with clear and measurable stages. There were 22 obese participants who voluntarily participated in the program for 9 weeks. Results: Shows Knowledge About the Dangers of Sedentary Behavior and the Importance of Physical Activity has increased before and after the program, the physical activity of respondents has changed from mostly having moderate activity to high physical activity, There is a change in BMI Obesity level II (≥30.0) to Obesity level 1 (25.0-29.9) as many as 3 people. Discussion: The advantages of this program are small movements that are easily integrated into daily routines, which are more sustainable than heavy exercise that requires time and additional costs, and teaches that every movement is very important so as to change the perception that physical activity can only be done with exercise in fitness centers. This program creates collective awareness and social support among participants, which is the key to the sustainability of the intervention. It is recommended to continue this program with a longer duration for long-term impact evaluation, further research is needed to identify factors that influence the sustainability of healthy behavior after the program is completed. Keywords: Obesity, sit less move more, minimize sitting increase movement

Abstract

Introduction & Aim: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to impaired insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Many health problems are found in communities with a history of diabetes mellitus sufferers, so an effective approach is needed to face this challenge through programs that will be implemented, which are expected to have an impact on improving the quality of public health. The purpose of this activity is to increase knowledge, awareness, and encourage the community to be aware and participate in diabetes prevention. Method of Activity: This activity was carried out in RT 2 and RT 5, Kapasan sub-district, targeting 30 elderly people. The steps of the activity were preparing booklets, coordinating with residents, administering pretest questionnaires, followed by providing education, games, and posttests. Results: The average test score of the elderly in RT 02 increased from 72 to 86 points. In RT 05, the average test score increased from 58 to 74. With p-values ​​of 0.045 and 0.003, respectively. Discussion: The majority of respondents who previously had limited understanding became more aware of healthy eating patterns, physical activity, and the importance of blood sugar checks. However, the insignificant change in attitudes suggests that despite increased knowledge, attitude formation requires a longer process. Attitudes are related to long-established values ​​and beliefs, particularly in the adult and elderly age groups. Therefore, increased knowledge has not been fully accompanied by strong changes in attitudes.
