Abstract

Hypertension remains one of the most prevalent non-communicable diseases worldwide and is increasingly becoming a health burden in Indonesian communities. Limited knowledge about hypertension and the lack of access to preventive strategies contribute to its high incidence in rural areas. This community empowerment program was conducted to improve public understanding of hypertension and to provide practical training on the production of a herbal tea formulation, known as Tensi Tea, using locally available ingredients such as breadfruit leaves, bay leaves, and cinnamon. The activity took place in Mandalawangi Village and involved community members, local health cadres, and students. The program was implemented in several stages, including educational sessions on hypertension prevention, interactive discussions, and hands-on training in harvesting, processing, and packaging herbal ingredients into tea bags. Participants were actively engaged, demonstrated high enthusiasm, and were able to produce the herbal tea product independently by the end of the training. The results showed an increase in community knowledge regarding risk factors and prevention of hypertension, as well as enhanced skills in producing a simple herbal preparation that has the potential to support both health promotion and local economic opportunities. In conclusion, education on hypertension prevention, accompanied by training on herbal tea, is an effective strategy to empower communities. It is recommended that similar programs be expanded to other rural areas and supported by local health services to ensure sustainability.

Abstract

Nursing education requires the integration of theory and practice; therefore, clinical mentoring plays an essential role in shaping students’ competencies. Clinical Instructors serve as educators, caregivers, and role models who directly influence the success of clinical learning. This study aims to identify and analyze the role of Clinical Instructors in implementing clinical mentoring for students at Gunung Maria Hospital, Tomohon. The study employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach, involving all Clinical Instructors who met the inclusion criteria through a total sampling technique. The instrument used was a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability prior to administration. Data were analyzed univariately using frequency distributions. The results indicated that the majority of respondents rated the role of Clinical Instructors as good (70%), while 24% rated it as adequate and 6% as poor. Strong performance was particularly evident in educational roles, motivational support, and professional role-modeling for students. However, several limitations were identified, including limited interaction intensity, inconsistent feedback, and restricted mentoring time due to workload demands. In conclusion, the role of Clinical Instructors has generally been implemented effectively and contributes positively to the development of nursing students’ competencies, although improvements are still needed in consistency and mentoring strategies. The study recommends continuous training for Clinical Instructors on effective clinical mentoring approaches, institutional policies to optimize the instructor–student ratio, and strengthened collaboration between hospitals and educational institutions to enhance the overall quality of clinical learning.

Abstract

Background: Cervical cancer and breast cancer are two leading causes of cancer-related mortality among women in Indonesia. Low levels of knowledge and awareness in the community, particularly among Women of Reproductive Age (WRA), regarding early detection remain a serious challenge in cancer prevention and management. Objective: This activity aims to improve WRA’s knowledge and awareness of the importance of early detection of cervical and breast cancer through a community-based educational approach. Method: This community service program employed a pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design. The intervention was carried out through education using the peer group method, educational video screening, and discussion sessions with cancer survivors. Data were collected using pre-test and post-test questionnaires and analyzed descriptively. Results: Prior to the educational intervention, the majority of respondents (52.3%) had low levels of knowledge. After the intervention, a significant improvement was observed: respondents with good knowledge increased to 47.7%, while those with poor knowledge decreased to 11.4%. Conclusion: Peer group- and video-based educational activities proved effective in enhancing WRA’s knowledge and awareness regarding the importance of early cancer detection. This educational model is recommended for broader implementation as a promotive and preventive strategy in women’s cancer prevention.

Abstract

Understanding nursing students’ knowledge of the six patient safety goals is essential to prevent adverse events. Innovative and interactive learning strategies are needed to strengthen students’ comprehension of these goals. The make-a-match method, as a cooperative learning approach, encourages active engagement and is expected to enhance knowledge retention. This study aimed to examine the effect of patient safety goals education on the knowledge of undergraduate nursing students using the make-a-match method. A pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted with 69 undergraduate nursing students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured patient safety goals knowledge questionnaire. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was applied to analyze the differences between pretest and posttest scores, with a significance level of 0.05. Prior to the intervention, most participants demonstrated a moderate level of knowledge (63.8%). Following the intervention, the majority of students achieved a good level of knowledge (91.3%). Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon test revealed a significant improvement in knowledge scores (p = 0.001, p < 0.05). The findings indicate that education using the make-a-match method is effective in improving nursing students’ knowledge of patient safety goals. This method may serve as a valuable learning strategy in nursing education to strengthen patient safety competencies.

Abstract

Early detection of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is a strategic effort to raise public health awareness, especially among housewives who play a central role in maintaining family welfare. This community service activity aims to conduct basic health screenings, including blood pressure measurements, blood glucose levels, and Body Mass Index (BMI) assessments, among housewives participating in the Enhancing Women's Roles Towards Healthy and Prosperous Families (P2WKSS) program in Haurgeulis Village, Haurgeulis Subdistrict, Indramayu Regency. The activity was conducted through simple health examinations followed by discussions and education on healthy lifestyles. The results of the examination of 60 participants showed that the majority of respondents were in the pre-hypertension to hypertension category (87%), (25%) were in the pre-diabetes to diabetes category, and (63%) were overweight to obese. These findings indicate a high risk factor for NCDs among housewives in the area. This early detection program not only provides an initial overview of the community's health condition but also serves as a means of education and empowerment for housewives to be more concerned about their own health and that of their families. Thus, this activity supports the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly the third goal on good health and well-being, and the fifth goal on gender equality through empowerment.

Abstract

The nutritional status of school-age children is a crucial determinant of their health, growth, and academic performance. However, low nutrition literacy and frequent consumption of packaged foods high in sugar, salt, and fat pose significant challenges. This community service program aimed to improve students’ nutritional awareness through food label reading education at SD YPPK Waenibe (YPPK Waenibe Elementary School). The program employed health education sessions on balanced nutrition and interactive practice in reading food labels, including demonstrations of sugar and salt content. Evaluation was conducted using pre-test and post-test assessments among 19 students. Results showed a significant improvement in knowledge, with the mean score increasing from 68.37 (pre-test) to 80.11 (post-test). Most students shifted from the “fair” to the “good” knowledge category. These findings confirm that simple, practice-based educational interventions can effectively enhance nutrition literacy among school-age children. Moreover, the program has the potential to empower students as change agents in both school and family contexts. Nevertheless, this initiative was limited to a single intervention and lacked parental involvement. It is recommended that future programs be integrated into school curricula and involve parents to strengthen children’s healthy consumption behaviors.

Abstract

The digital revolution has reshaped the consumption patterns of Generation Z and contributed to the triple burden of malnutrition, including overeating, which has become a growing concern among university students. This study examines the triple burden phenomenon in relation to the eating behaviors of Generation Z at the Faculty of Public Health, State Islamic University of North Sumatra. This qualitative phenomenological research involved 10 students. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations, triangulated using a 3×24-hour food recall, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. Calorie requirement calculations based on Body Mass Index (BMI) criteria showed that seven participants exceeded their daily caloric needs, consuming an average of 2,102 calories per day—above the normal requirement. Social media food simulacra triggered visual cravings in eight participants, while mukbang content increased appetite by two to three times. Seven participants demonstrated low self-efficacy in controlling portion sizes. Eating patterns shifted from conventional meal structures to a grazing pattern (6–8 times per day), with fifty-eight percent of eating episodes consisting of snacking, indicating overnutrition within the triple burden context. Social media simulacra and low self-efficacy significantly influenced overeating among Generation Z, even among individuals with adequate nutritional knowledge. Social media creates a hyperreality that encourages consumption beyond biological needs, contributing to the complexity of the triple burden of malnutrition in the digital era. Strengthening digital literacy and self-efficacy is recommended to address the triple burden among Generation Z

Abstract

Cybervictimization is a form of violence or harassment conducted online, which can negatively affect psychological well-being, including increasing the risk of anxiety. Cybervictimization is particularly prevalent among late adolescents and young adults, as these age groups frequently use social media as a primary means of daily interaction. This study aimed to examine the association between cybervictimization and anxiety levels among nursing students at STIKes Dharma Husada. A quantitative method with a correlational design and a cross-sectional approach was employed. The study sample consisted of 76 respondents. The research instruments included the Cybervictimization Scale (CYBVICS) and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7). Data were analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation test. The findings showed that half of the respondents experienced moderate levels of cybervictimization (50.0%), and most reported severe anxiety (56.6%). The correlation analysis revealed a significant association between cybervictimization and anxiety, with a p-value of 0.001 and a correlation coefficient of 0.449, indicating a moderate positive relationship. In conclusion, the higher the level of cybervictimization experienced, the higher the level of anxiety among students. Based on these findings, it is recommended that educational institutions and students increase efforts to prevent and manage the psychological impacts of digital violence.

Abstract

Minor injuries such as abrasions and lacerations are common among elementary school students, particularly due to play activities, while limited knowledge and skills in first aid may increase the risk of infection and wound-related complications. This community service program aimed to enhance students’ understanding and practical skills in managing minor injuries through structured health education on first aid for wounds. The activity was conducted at SDN 21 Pekanbaru with 18 students as participants. The program included interactive lectures, practical demonstrations of wound care, and the use of audiovisual media as learning tools. Data were collected using pre-test and post-test questionnaires to measure knowledge improvement in minor wound first aid, complemented by direct observation to evaluate first aid skills. Results showed a significant knowledge gain, with mean scores increasing from 76.67 before the intervention to 100 after the session. Similarly, observational scores of first aid skills rose markedly from 32.78 to 100, reflecting substantial competency gains following the educational program. These findings confirm that combining lectures, demonstrations, and audiovisual support is an effective strategy to promote both cognitive and psychomotor domains of learning in elementary students. The program not only improved students’ ability to respond to minor injuries and fostered health literacy applicable in daily life, but also highlights the need for future school-based initiatives in collaboration with Public Health Centers (Puskesmas) to provide first aid training for students and teachers, thereby enhancing preparedness, strengthening competencies, and promoting a sustainable culture of safety and health in schools
