Abstract

Traffic-related accidents involving university students, particularly those aged 18–25, have become a growing concern in Indonesia, with many incidents occurring due to inadequate infrastructure and lack of traffic discipline in densely populated campus environments. This community service program was initiated by Universitas Dian Nuswantoro (UDINUS) in Semarang to address these challenges through the establishment of a “Campus Safety Riding Zone.” The program aimed to increase road safety awareness, promote safe behavior among students and residents, and improve campus-area traffic infrastructure. Activities included coordination with local authorities, painting red-marked safe zones and zebra crossings, installing speed limit signs (30 km/h), and distributing an educational pocketbook titled “Crossing Etiquette on Campus” The intervention area, located on Nakula I Street, was selected due to its high traffic volume between the subdistrict office and UDINUS Building A. Post-intervention observations indicated that drivers generally reduced their speed when entering the safety zone, although issues like improper parking persisted. The initiative demonstrated that a combination of infrastructure enhancement, community education, and multi-stakeholder collaboration can effectively foster a safer traffic culture in university environments. This model offers a replicable framework for other higher education institutions to support student and pedestrian safety through community-based strategies.

Abstract

Adding to their relatively high number, people with disabilities in Indonesia also face various challenges. Given such high prevalence, cadres have an important role in promoting disability inclusion. It is crucial to measure the level of knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of these cadres regarding disability inclusion, for example, by using an instrument. To test the validity and reliability of such an instrument, statistical analysis methods like the Rasch Model Analysis are applicable due to their advantages. This study evaluates the construct validity of the Hilfi & Kaylia Disability Inclusiveness Perception instrument among health cadres. The study used a cross-sectional design using secondary data from the Disability Inclusion Capacity instrument administered to 709 cadres residing in Bandung City, Indonesia, from July to December 2024. Construct validity was analyzed using the Rasch model. Data from 626 participants who met the criteria showed that the average outfit mean-square (MnSq) for the 25-item version of the instrument met Rasch model expectations (0.92). However, item J1 was identified as a misfitting item (outfit MnSq > 1.4 and outfit Z-standard (ZSTD) > 2) across all three versions of the instrument. The explained variance was found to be 44.1%. Reliability and separation index results were excellent, with Cronbach’s alpha at 0.96 and separation index above 2. However, category response functioning and targeting did not fully meet Rasch model expectations. Nonetheless, it can be concluded that the Hilfi & Kaylia Disability Inclusiveness Perception Instrument has acceptable construct validity with the sample of health cadres in Bandung City, Indonesia.

Abstract

People with disabilities risk facing obstacles in participating in and benefiting from development. Indonesia is committed to supporting people with disabilities, one of which is through services and rehabilitation provided by cadres. Unfortunately, there is currently no regulation governing compensation for cadres that puts them at risk of psychological distress and burnout. This research intends to analyze the association of different socioeconomic characteristics with psychological distress and burnout and the association between the two conditions in cadres providing services in Bandung City. Through a secondary cross-sectional research, 648 cadres’ data were obtained. The data included were socioeconomic characteristics, psychological distress (Kessler-10), and burnout (The Burnout Measure Short Version). This article discovered a significant negative correlation between age (ρ = -0.097; p = 0.014) and seniority (ρ = -0.134; p < 0.001) toward psychological distress and a significant positive correlation between psychological distress and burnout (ρ = 0.505; p < 0.001). These findings highlight the importance of considering age and seniority to support cadres' mental health and ensure a sustainable recruitment and regeneration strategy.

Abstract

Aging contributes to functional decline and heightened psychological distress that affects the older adults’ quality of life. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the 10-item Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K-10) for assessing psychological distress, however the Classical Test Theory (CTT)-based evaluation method has limitations. Item Response Theory (IRT), specifically the Rasch model, offers a more accurate method for measuring the instrument’ validity and reliability. This study examined the construct validity of the K-10 Indonesian version in older adults with disabilities. A cross-sectional method and secondary data from 321 elderly individuals (≥60 years) with disabilities in Bandung City, Indonesia, were used between August and February 2025. The Instrument’s construct validity of was analyzed by performing the Rasch model. A total of 315 responses were eligible for analysis. The K-10 showed an overall fit to the Rasch model (mean outfit MnSq = 1.03±0.27). Item C10 (“feel worthless”) was identified as misfitting (outfit MnSq >1.4; ZSTD >2), although no factor bias was detected. The explained variance reached 54.10%. Reliability indicators were strong, with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.89 and a person separation index above 2. However, category functioning and targeting did not fully meet Rasch expectations. The correlation between K-10 and WHODAS 2.0 showed a moderate positive relationship, though it did not reach the criterion for convergent validity (r >0.6).  The Indonesian version of the K-10 has acceptable construct validity in a sample of older adults with disabilities in Bandung City, Indonesia.

Abstract

Postpartum mothers often experience psychological challenges such as stress, anxiety, and feelings of inadequacy, which may be intensified by the pervasive influence of social media. This community service program aimed to enhance the mental health of postpartum mothers in Tuban Regency through the application of mindfulness practices. The program employed a participatory approach involving posyandu cadres and village midwives, with a purposive sample of 30 postpartum mothers attending four weekly mindfulness sessions. Each session consisted of psychoeducation on mental health, guided mindfulness exercises, and group discussions, supported by daily home practice using audio recordings. Monitoring was conducted via a WhatsApp group, and evaluations were carried out using pre- and post-assessments with the DASS-21 instrument and participant feedback surveys. The results showed notable improvement in mental health outcomes: moderate stress decreased from 40% to 15%, mild anxiety from 30% to 10%, and mild depression from 10% to 3%, while normal conditions increased from 20% to 72%. Participants reported greater calmness, self-awareness, and emotional stability. In conclusion, mindfulness practice was found to be an effective and practical approach to improving the mental health of postpartum mothers, with strong potential for integration into community health services.

Abstract

Basic Life Support (BLS) is an activity to clear the patient's airways, assist breathing, and maintain blood flow without the use of assistive devices. This assistance must be carried out quickly and precisely, because if the assistance is not appropriate it can cause disability, even worse, the patient can die. The purpose of this community service is to increase students' knowledge about BLS and motivation to help. The method used is education and lectures. The population in the community service is students at Tunas Harapan Vocational School, totaling 63 students with several existing problems. The results of the survey on students still have many who do not understand BLS. And from the results of the survey and interviews, most students who do not know how to help victims of cardiac arrest and some are even afraid to help. Very low knowledge and motivation and the lack of information from medical personnel regarding BLS are obstacles and problems. Therefore, it is necessary to provide education and understanding of BLS. The results showed that students experienced an increase in their knowledge of Basic Life Support (BLS) from good knowledge at 7.94% to 46.03%, and their motivation to help cardiac arrest victims increased from good knowledge at 4.76% to 58.73%. This education and motivation can provide information to students and teachers of the school so they can provide assistance to cardiac arrest victims.

Abstract

Children’s consumption of vegetables and fruits remains low and often does not meet nutritional recommendations, potentially leading to long-term health problems, including increased risks of chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. Insufficient vegetable intake may also negatively affect eye health and contribute to anemia, resulting in symptoms such as weakness, fatigue, and poor concentration in children. This community service aimed to improve knowledge and awareness regarding fruit and vegetable consumption among early childhood children in Ranah Singkuang Village. The activities were carried out from January to September 2024 at PAUD Ranah Singkuang Village and included educational sessions for children and PAUD teachers focusing on the variety and benefits of fruits and vegetables. The results demonstrated improved knowledge among teachers and young children, as well as positive behavioral changes among parents in providing healthier meals, especially those containing fruits and vegetables. Approximately 95% of students were observed bringing lunches that included fruit and vegetable components following the intervention. Based on these findings, it is recommended that similar educational activities continue to be implemented regularly and that PAUD teachers integrate play-based nutrition learning into daily classroom activities to promote sustainable healthy eating habits among young children.

Abstract

Stunting remains a global and national health issue. In Seluma Regency, the prevalence of stunting increased from 21.1% (2022) to 24.4% (2023), with Sukaraja District contributing the highest number of cases. One strategy for addressing this issue is empowering health cadres as agents of change in education and early detection of stunting among pregnant women. The general objective of this community service activity was to improve the knowledge of cadres and pregnant women regarding early detection of stunting risk during pregnancy as an effort to reduce stunting cases in Cahaya Negeri and Sidoluhur Villages, Sukaraja District, Seluma Regency. The activities were carried out in these villages from January to October 2025. The implementation methods included preparation, execution, and evaluation stages. The main activities consisted of cadre training using lectures, group discussions, role plays, demonstrations, and early stunting detection simulations. Evaluation was conducted through pre- and post-tests. Empowering cadres to care about stunting among pregnant women significantly increased their knowledge and skills in stunting prevention. The average cadre knowledge score increased from 80.75 (pre-test) to 92.5 (post-test), an increase of 11.75 points. The program also resulted in the establishment of stunting care cadre organizations in both villages, serving as a forum for continuous discussion and education. This empowerment program effectively enhanced cadres’ capacity in early detection of stunting risk during pregnancy and is expected to continue with support from the local government and health centers.

Abstract

The prevalence of hypertension is notably elevated in the aging demographic. A proposed method of reducing blood pressure involves the utilization of non-pharmacological treatment regimens comprising Murottal Surah Ar Rahman and Clitoria Ternatea, as observed in RW 10, located in Paledang, Bogor. This study was conducted from January 30, 2025 to February 5, 2025 in RW 10, Paledang, Bogor. The study's participants included 36 elderly individuals who were prescribed antihypertensive medication. The participants were administered Clitoria Ternatea Linn flower tea and were exposed to Surah Ar-Rahman from the Qur'an (Muslim elderly) as an intervention. The data collection methods employed in this study encompassed the measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure prior to and following the intervention. The present study employed a quasi-experimental method, lacking a group control, and utilized a pre- and post-test approach. The findings indicated a substantial variation in systolic blood pressure levels, Surah Ar-Rahman. A decline in systolic pressure from 144 mmHg to 134 mmHg was documented, exhibiting a Z score of -3.726 and a P value less than 0.01, thereby indicating a statistically significant outcome. A decrease in diastolic pressure was also observed, from 91 mmHg to 86 mmHg after the intervention, with a Z score of -2.779 and a P value of 0.005. The administration of Clitoria Ternatea resulted in a decrease in systolic pressure from 141 mmHg to 134 mmHg, while diastolic pressure decreased from 88 mmHg to 87 mmHg. A substantial alteration in systolic pressure was ascertained, with a p-value of less than 0.001. A P-value of 0.310 revealed an absence of correlation between diastolic blood pressure before and after the intervention. The complementary therapy demonstrated efficacy in reducing systolic and diastolic blood pressure. It is imperative to underscore the role of this therapeutic modality as a complementary intervention, not as a primary treatment modality. Hypertension patients are required to take antihypertensive medications and undergo regular checkups as the primary treatment.
