Abstract

Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal Kindergarten (TKA ABA) under the auspices of the North Banguntapan PCA, as an early childhood education institution based on religious values, is committed to developing a superior generation, with noble character, and competitiveness. However, competition in the education sector demands innovative strategies to strengthen the institution's competitiveness and identity. One such strategy is to integrate English and entrepreneurship skills into the curriculum. The problems faced are suboptimal human resources in English and a lack of understanding of entrepreneurship as a means of strengthening branding. The proposed solution is mentoring and training in English and entrepreneurship. The implementation method consists of four stages: preparation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and follow-up. The output of this service shows an increase in the ability of teachers in using English for learning and entrepreneurial skills for the purposes of institutional branding. The expected recommendations include follow-up by TKA ABA PCA to create an internal curriculum that combines English and entrepreneurship learning in real situations, the creation of a sustainable teacher learning community, and a commitment to establishing strategic partnerships with the business world and other educational institutions.

Abstract

Partnerships between corporations and local communities play a crucial role in promoting inclusive and sustainable development, especially in areas directly affected by industrial activities. However, the implementation of such partnerships often fails to reflect the principles of equality, transparency, and active community participation. This study is part of a community service initiative aimed at analyzing the partnership model between PT Alam Sinar and the local community in Gampingan Village, Pagak Subdistrict, Malang Regency. It also evaluates the benefits, supporting factors, and challenges of the partnership by comparing conditions before and after the program was implemented. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Informants were selected purposively, including the village head, CSR representatives from the company, and community beneficiaries. The community service team acted as facilitators during the assessment process, participatory discussions, and reflection sessions involving both residents and the company. Findings indicate that the partnership is implemented through corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs focused on skills training, job creation, waste management, and the development of basic infrastructure. The benefits observed cover economic, social, and environmental aspects. Nevertheless, several challenges remain, such as limited community involvement in decision-making, suboptimal communication, and a lack of support from the district government. This study recommends strengthening community capacity, optimizing the role of village authorities, and developing a more inclusive, adaptive partnership model that responds to the actual needs of the local population.

Abstract

This article reports on a community service program aimed at enhancing English teachers' creativity and digital literacy through the integration of digital storytelling. Conducted in collaboration with MGMP Sidoarjo, the program involved 51 senior high school English teachers who participated in a hands-on workshop using Canva to create digital storytelling materials aligned with their instructional goals. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining observation, surveys, and qualitative feedback to evaluate teacher engagement, product quality, and classroom implementation. Findings indicate a notable improvement in teachers' confidence and competence in utilizing digital tools, with all participants successfully producing at least one digital storytelling product. Although time constraints limited full implementation in some classrooms, student responses were overwhelmingly positive, citing increased motivation and engagement due to the visually rich content. Teachers also reflected positively on the training's impact, highlighting its practical value in modernizing English language instruction. The program underscores the importance of supporting teacher development through creative and technology-enhanced pedagogical strategies. It is recommended that schools foster a culture of innovation and that MGMP sustain the momentum through long-term mentoring and experimentation with varied digital learning media in response to evolving educational demands.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the role of Endris Foundation as a community-based social institution in assisting underprivileged communities in Gerung District, West Lombok Regency. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation involving 10 informants, including organizational staff and aid recipients. The findings show that Endris Foundation provides two main types of assistance: material support, such as wheelchairs and food packages, and service-based support through medical accompaniment. The wheelchair aid improved mobility for 10 elderly and disabled recipients, while the medical assistance facilitated access to healthcare services for five families. In addition, food distribution helped reduce household economic burdens. Key challenges included family resistance to medical intervention, lack of transparency regarding beneficiary conditions, and communication gaps with village authorities over activity documentation. This study recommends implementing health education for beneficiary families and establishing formal coordination between the foundation and local government to strengthen collaborative efforts. The findings reinforce the vital role of community-based social institutions in addressing disparities in access to basic public services, particularly in areas with limited infrastructure.

Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including hypertension, are major health problems commonly found in communities and are among the leading causes of death globally, including in Indonesia. The management of hypertension requires family support, adherence to antihypertensive medication, and the promotion of a healthy lifestyle. This community service program aimed to educate the elderly through the “AKRABI TENSI” exercise movement and to provide an overview of body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, and random blood glucose levels (RBG) as a screening and prevention effort for NCDs at the Elderly Posyandu in Padukuhan Karang Lo. This activity was carried out over seven days, from observation to evaluation, by the team as part of the Clinical Exposure (CE) 3 practice block. There were four series of activities during the implementation, including: (1) “AKRABI TENSI” exercise and deep breathing relaxation; (2) health education on hypertension prevention using the “CERDIK” approach; (3) routine health checks including blood pressure, random blood glucose (RBG), weight, and height measurements; and (4) evaluation of health education using a crossword puzzle. The educational media used included PowerPoint presentations, small banners, manual sphygmomanometers, and basic health check devices. Evaluation results showed that 78% of participants had a sufficient level of knowledge. Health screening results revealed that 33 participants (72%) had high blood pressure, while 13 participants (28%) were within the normal range. Among 46 participants, 16 had elevated blood glucose levels, while 30 had normal levels. This program highlights the need to optimize elderly Posyandu activities through continuous education and health screenings to reduce the prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in the community.

Abstract

Substance abuse involving narcotics, psychotropics, and other addictive substances (NAPZA) among adolescents remains a public health concern in Jayapura City. Preliminary observations at Kalam Kudus Junior High School revealed that most students had limited knowledge regarding the dangers of substance abuse, while the available educational media remained conventional and less engaging for adolescents. This Community Service Program (PKM) aimed to improve students’ knowledge and attitudes toward the dangers of NAPZA through an educational picture-guessing game, implemented in the activity entitled GANZ: Gerakan Anti-NAPZA (Anti-NAPZA Movement). The program was designed using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach and conducted among 57 students at Kalam Kudus Junior High School on April 11, 2025. The intervention consisted of four stages: (1) identification of target groups, (2) health education and sharing sessions, (3) pre- and post-test data collection, and (4) implementation of the educational picture-guessing game. Data were collected using pretest and posttest questionnaires and analyzed with STATA 16. Results showed a 29.9% increase in knowledge and a 25% improvement in positive attitudes toward NAPZA prevention after the intervention. The picture-guessing game proved effective in enhancing adolescents’ knowledge and attitudes regarding the dangers of NAPZA. For sustainability, it is recommended that interactive educational media be integrated into school-based programs, alongside continuous collaboration with teachers and parents, to foster a supportive learning environment for NAPZA prevention among adolescents.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is one of the infectious diseases transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito which is still endemic in Indonesia. DHF is still a priority disease that needs to be addressed by the Sukoharjo Health Office, especially in the Weru District. Based on the results of the Self-Reflection Survey (SMD) on residents of Dusun 1, Jatingarang Village, Kabupaten Sukoharjo with a total sample of 152 households, it was found that 63.2% or 92 households still had insufficient knowledge about DHF. This community service activity carried the theme Smart mother Education Program, which consisted of two main activities: increasing community knowledge about DHF and utilizing Abate to eradicate mosquito larvae as an effort to control DHF. The first activity involved providing education about DHF to 30 participants. The results of the analysis using the Wilcoxon test showed a p-value of 0.000 (≤ 0.05), which means there is a significant difference in the participants' knowledge scores before (pre-test) and after (post-test) the delivery of the material. The frequency distribution shows an increase in the good knowledge category, from 18 people (60%) before education to 23 people (76.7%) after education. The second activity was the door-to-door distribution of Abate to 33 houses where mosquito larvae were positively found. In addition, the Larva Free Index (ABJ) in Dusun 1 increased from 80.2% to 94.8%, indicating an improvement in the success of mosquito larva control. This program effectively increased community knowledge about DHF and the use of Abate for mosquito larva eradication, and it successfully improved the Larva Free Index in Dusun 1, Jatingarang Village.

Abstract

Low back pain (LBP) is highly likely to occur among garment workers because of the fact that they are subjected to prolonged periods of inactivity sitting in non-ergonomic chairs. The ergonomic chair intervention can be regarded as effective in terms of decreasing the level of discomfort and enhancing the comfort at work. The objective of this community service activity was to minimize the risk of LBP by providing ergonomic chairs and posture education in the form of anthropometry to the garment workers. The intervention was done with 22 garment workers in May 2025 and the intervention involved the provision of the ergonomic chairs based on the anthropometric data of the workers. To assess the body posture, the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) was used and to determine the level of disability caused by LBP, the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) was used, where the assessments were done immediately and two weeks after the intervention. The results were found to have significantly improved as the RULA score (a 5.36 to 4.14) and LBP score (a 19.73 to 8.09) dropped by 22.8% and 59.0% respectively which indicated an improvement in the working posture and the reduction in musculoskeletal complaints respectively. The ergonomic chair aided in staying in a more upright and natural sitting position thus alleviating pressure on the spine and back muscles. On the whole, the intervention was useful in the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders and enhancing the comfort of workers, which is an effective ergonomic solution to the garment industry.

Abstract

Low Back Pain (LBP) is a prevalent occupational health complaint among batik artisans, resulting from static and non-ergonomic work postures. However, awareness regarding prevention and early management remains low, as these complaints are often normalized. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a targeted educational and practical training program on William Flexion Exercise in increasing knowledge about LBP prevention among batik artisans. The program applied a pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design involving 21 batik artisans. The intervention consisted of a socialization session on LBP and ergonomics, followed by a practical demonstration and training of the William Flexion Exercise. An increase in knowledge was measured using a questionnaire administered before and after the event. Data were analyzed using the non-parametric Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The findings revealed an increase in the participants' mean knowledge score from 80.95 in the pre-test to 86.67 in the post-test. This increase was found to be statistically significant (W = 0.0; p = 0.031), with a large effect size (r = 0.88). The socialization and training program on the William Flexion Exercise was proven to be significantly effective in improving the knowledge of batik artisans regarding LBP prevention. The findings suggest that a community-based educational program incorporating practical exercise demonstration is a feasible and promising approach for increasing health knowledge. This model warrants further investigation in a larger controlled study.
