Frontiers in Community Service and Empowerment (FiCSE) publishes peer-reviewed, community services activities articles in an open-access format. Accepted articles span the full extent of the Engineering, Social, Science, Health and Education. FiCSE seeks to be the world’s premier open-access outlet for community services papers. As such, unlike traditional journals, FiCSEdoes not limit content due to page budgets or thematic significance. Rather, FiCSE evaluates the scientific and implementation methods of each article for validity and accepts articles solely on the basis of the research. Likewise, by not restricting papers to a narrow discipline, FiCSE facilitates the discovery of the connections between papers, whether within or between disciplines.

Abstract

The risk of TB transmission in families needs to be paid attention to, especially in toddlers and the elderly who have lower immunity. The TB death rate in East Java is still high, including the city of Surabaya. In preventing TB transmission, the role of the family is very important, because one of the tasks of the family is to provide care for sick family members and prevent transmission to healthy family members through efforts that must be applied in their daily lives. Efforts to prevent the transmission of diseases, especially tuberculosis, can be done by improving the air quality in patients' homes and sanitation facilities so as to support the realization of healthy homes. A healthy house is a house with physical facilities that meet the requirements for the health of its occupants such as the fulfillment of ventilation, lighting, humidity, residential density, which as a whole must meet the requirements according to the standards of the Ministry of Health No.829 of 1999 so that the house does not become a medium for disease transmission. The purpose of community service is to increase public knowledge about environment-based infectious diseases including TBC, PHBS, CTPS diseases, improve the air quality of patients' home rooms by installing Cyclone Ventilator Modification (CVM) in an effort to prevent the transmission of tuberculosis in the work area of the Pegirian Health Center in Surabaya in 2024. The target of the activity is aimed specifically at residents with tuberculosis in the Working Area of the Pegirian Health Center, Surabaya City. The approach is carried out by observation, interviews, counseling, demonstrations of the installation of CVM devices in the homes of TB patients, motivating residents in realizing healthy homes and environments by providing assistance in the form of CVM devices, CTPS souvenrs

Abstract

Stunting is a condition of growth failure in children due to chronic malnutrition, especially in the first thousand days of life. Stunting affects brain growth and development. Reducing stunting requires integrated interventions including specific nutritional interventions, integrated pregnancy care, maternal nutrition monitoring, anemia monitoring, child growth and development monitoring, exclusive breastfeeding, provision of nutritionally adequate complementary foods, family empowerment to monitor the provision of Fe tablets for pregnant women, vitamin A for toddlers, PHBS, use of iodized salt, monitoring consumption of street snacks. This community service method is education about community empowerment to create a healthy village free from stunting through the implementation of a Mobile Application for monitoring breast milk expenditure and sufficiency for babies. The targets of this community service activity are breastfeeding mothers, posyandu cadres and community leaders. The results showed an increase in knowledge about stunting prevention. The results of statistical analysis obtained a p value = 0.000 (p <0.05) there was an increase in knowledge before and after being given education about the use of mobile applications to monitor breast milk expenditure and sufficiency proven effective in supporting stunting prevention. Conclusion: Community empowerment through the use of mobile applications to monitor breast milk expenditure and sufficiency has proven effective in supporting stunting prevention

Abstract

Currently, Indonesia is facing the problem of stunting, including in Magetan. The prevalence of stunting in 2022 was 17.2%, decreasing by 4.34% to 14.9%. Although this prevalence has decreased, it has not yet reached the 2024 RPJMN target of less than 14%. In Pandeyan Village, 14% of toddlers still experience stunting. Strong efforts are needed to reduce the stunting target. This stunting problem will be more easily prevented through Posyandu (Integrated Health Posts). Posyandu (Integrated Health Post) is an integrated service post for mothers and toddlers in a specific, agreed-upon area, driven by the community to provide health services. Posyandu is a form of community-based health service (UKBM) established by the community based on community initiative and needs, particularly for toddlers. The purpose of this community service is to raise public awareness of stunting prevention through health promotion, education for mothers of toddlers, and the formation of the Complete Stunting Response Mothers Movement Group (GITa TingTas). The method used is training to provide mothers of toddlers with understanding and competencies about exclusive breastfeeding, complementary feeding (MP-ASI), monitoring child growth and development, and the importance of environmental cleanliness. The results of the knowledge test before and after the test (post-test) showed that knowledge about stunting increased from 11% to 23%, and knowledge about stunting increased from 48% to 61%. Meanwhile, in the sufficient and insufficient knowledge categories, the percentages decreased during the pre- and post-tests. The sufficient knowledge category decreased from 23% to 16%, and the insufficient knowledge category decreased from 18% to 0%. Conclusion: The Cadre Training has had an impact on increasing mothers' knowledge about stunting prevention in Pandeyan Village, Maospati District, Magetan Regency. Recommendations: Ongoing training on stunting is needed to ensure mothers remain responsive to stunting prevention. Continuous cross-sectoral and cross-program efforts are needed so that stunting can be addressed with the participation of the entire community.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Bulak Village in Surabaya has a population of approximately 22,330 people, with a relatively high proportion of elderly residents. The elderly are a vulnerable group for hypertension and anemia. According to the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey, the national prevalence of hypertension reached 30.8%, and East Java is one of the provinces with the highest rate (36%). To address this issue, a team of lecturers and staff from the Surabaya Ministry of Health Polytechnic conducted community service at the elderly health post in the Bulak urban village area of Surabaya. Activities include socialization, education, and blood pressure, hemoglobin, and hematocrit checks, targeting 49 elderly individuals. The results show that 36.7% of the elderly have stage 1 hypertension and 8.2% have stage 2 hypertension. A total of 51% of respondents have anemia (low Hb), and 67.3% have below-normal hematocrit levels. This condition reflects weak early detection and a lack of awareness regarding the importance of routine health checkups for the elderly. Factors contributing to low knowledge among the elderly include limited examination tools and costs, as well as the suboptimal role of community health posts in disease prevention and control. Therefore, continuous education, strengthening elderly health posts, and the involvement of families and communities are needed to support healthy lifestyles and regular treatment for the elderly. INDEX TERMS elderly, hypertension, hemoglobin, hematocrit.
