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

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

Abstract

One of the primary targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030 and a key indicator of national development success is the reduction of maternal mortality (MMR). Because maternal health significantly influences the health of the next generation, antenatal care services are utilized to reduce MMR. The purpose of this study was to explore the inputs, processes, and outputs of antenatal care services provided by Community Health Centers (Puskesmas) in Medan City. A qualitative descriptive phenomenological method was employed, generating descriptive data. The study involved two main informants, one key informant, and five triangulation informants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews. The findings revealed that a high level of community preference for specialist services contributed to many cases of maternal and infant mortality as well as a decline in antenatal care visits at Puskesmas. In addition, the study identified the limited effectiveness of ultrasound examinations, which were only conducted once a week. Complaints from patients also emerged regarding the health workers’ approach, particularly their responsiveness, focus, and attentiveness, which led many patients to prefer specialists over Puskesmas services. Based on these findings, it is recommended that Puskesmas in Medan City address the issue of overlapping workloads, improve the standardization of supporting facilities, and increase the frequency of ultrasound examinations to twice per week.

Abstract

Adolescents are the next generation who are currently in an important transitional stage toward adulthood. At this phase, they are highly vulnerable to various influences, including a lack of knowledge about reproductive health, the risk of stunting, and the impacts of early marriage. In response to these conditions, a community service activity was conducted at the Auditorium of STIKes Gunung Maria Tomohon, Tomohon City, with the aim of providing health education to students so that they can better understand the importance of adolescents’ role in preventing stunting and the negative impacts of early marriage. The program was carried out in three stages: planning in collaboration with the BKKBN team and the school, delivering interactive health education using engaging media, and evaluation through a question-and-answer session. A total of 164 students enthusiastically participated in the activity, and the discussion results revealed that reproductive health and early marriage were their primary concerns. It is expected that through continuous education, adolescents will be able to make wiser decisions for their future and contribute to stunting prevention within their communities. Programs like this are essential to be held regularly and to reach more schools.

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

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) pose a significant global health challenge. Diabetes mellitus (DM) and hyperuricemia are among the most prevalent non-communicable diseases in Indonesia. Screening is a process to identify both pre- and post-diseases. The purpose of this community service is to detect non-communicable diseases early through blood glucose and hyperuricemia tests. The results of this screening activity indicate that some individuals still have abnormal blood glucose and uric acid levels. This screening is expected to facilitate the early detection of diabetes mellitus (DM) and hyperuricemia, enabling timely treatment and contributing to a healthier and more productive society.

Abstract

Cybervictimization is a form of violence or harassment conducted online, which can lead to negative impacts on psychological conditions, one of which is anxiety. Cybervictimization is particularly prevalent among late adolescents and young adults, as this age group frequently uses 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. The study employed a quantitative method with a correlational design and a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 76 respondents. Research instruments included the Cybervictimization Scale (CYBVICS) and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7). Data were analyzed using Spearman’s Rank test. The findings showed that the majority of respondents experienced moderate levels of cybervictimization (50.0%), and most reported severe anxiety (56.6%). 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 pay greater attention to the prevention and management of the psychological impacts of digital violence

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

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.
