Abstract

The Indonesian Red Cross (IRC) is a humanitarian organization that plays an important role in providing assistance to the community, particularly in the fields of health, disaster response, and blood donation services. The volunteer team from Health Polytechnic, Ministry of Health, Surabaya, in collaboration with members of the Indonesian Association of Medical Laboratory Technologists Surabaya city and IRC Surabaya city, conducted free blood glucose level tests for prospective donors and the elderly (geriatric) in Al-Akbar Mosque Surabaya. This examination aims to detect potential health issues early, especially diabetes, which often poses challenges for blood donors and the elderly. Blood donors tend to neglect their health conditions due to the donation routine, so this examination ensures that they remain in optimal condition. Meanwhile, the elderly have a high risk of diabetes, which can affect their quality of life. The strategic location at Al-Akbar Mosque Surabaya facilitates access for the community who are far from the IRC Surabaya city office. The success of this activity is supported by various factors, including the involvement of professional health organizations such as the branch Surabaya City of Indonesian Association of Medical Laboratory Technologists, the support of health infrastructure from IRC Surabaya city, and the active participation of the community and volunteers. The respondents of the community service activity numbered 88 people, conducted on March 15 and 17, 2025, consisting of 59% men and 41% women, with an age range of 20-80 years and the majority of respondents aged 41-60 years (56.8%). From the examination results, it was found that 21% of male respondents and 13.9% of female respondents suffer from diabetes mellitus (DM), thus requiring medical follow-up and lifestyle changes. This activity is expected to raise public awareness about the importance of early diabetes detection and encourage a sustainable healthy lifestyle to prevent serious complications in the future

Abstract

Entrepreneurship Development Program: Implementation of Digital Marketing-Based Entrepreneurship Strategies for Student Micro Enterprises in the Surabaya Ministry of Health Polytechnic Environment, motivated by the need to increase students' entrepreneurial competence in facing business competition in the digital era. Students who run micro businesses often do not utilize digital marketing strategies optimally. The aim of this program is to equip students with digital marketing skills so that their businesses can develop more effectively. The main contribution of this program is providing training, guidance and business capital to five selected MSMEs, so that students are able to implement digital-based marketing strategies independently. Methods for implementing activities include digital marketing workshops, submitting and selecting business proposals, as well as mentoring for MSMEs that pass the selection. Every MSME is given access and training in using digital platforms such as social media, e-commerce and other digital marketing tools. The program results show that the student MSMEs involved were able to optimize the marketing of their products and services through digital platforms, such as Instagram, YouTube and Shopee. Apart from that, five MSMEs that passed the proposal selection received business capital support and succeeded in increasing visibility and sales through the digital marketing strategy implemented. In conclusion, this program succeeded in increasing students' capacity to manage micro businesses in a more professional and competitive manner. The implication is that the development of digital-based entrepreneurship has the potential to accelerate the growth of student MSMEs and contribute to improving the local economy in the campus environment.

Abstract

Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in Indonesia remains high. One of the contributing factors to the high maternal mortality rate is undetected high-risk pregnancies. Antenatal Care (ANC) is crucial as it not only serves to monitor the health of the mother and fetus but also to detect potential risks during pregnancy. The objective of this community service is to enhance the knowledge and skills of health cadres in the early detection of high-risk pregnancies. The target audience for this community service activity consists of 30 Posyandu cadres from Kabunan Village within the Balen Health Center area, Bojonegoro. The methods used in this activity include the provision of materials through lectures and discussions, distribution of leaflets, and a simulation of filling out the Poedji Rochjati Score Card. The results of the activity show that there was an increase in knowledge after the training, with participants demonstrating a rise in good knowledge from 3.39% to 8.30%. The cadres' skills in performing early detection of high-risk pregnancies showed an average score of 84, and 66.7% of the participants performed very well in the health education category. Conclusion: The improvement in knowledge and skills in filling out the Poedji Rochjati Score Card for early detection and referral in preparation for complications in both mothers and newborns can contribute to reducing maternal and child mortality, particularly in Kabunan Village within the Balen Health Center's jurisdiction, Bojonegoro.

Abstract

Bay leaves are a type of kitchen spice that is often added to dishes, inexpensive, and easily obtained. Research results have proven that the active compounds in bay leaves are quite effective and safer in lowering blood pressure. Most of the Sreseh residents work as fishermen who tend to consume salty foods, which causes a high incidence of hypertension. Therefore, it is necessary to increase knowledge about healthy lifestyles and the use of herbal medicine made from boiled bay leaves to lower blood pressure among Prolanis hypertension members in the Sreseh Health Center area. The methods used in this community service activity are lecture/presentation and demonstration methods. Lecture activities are carried out by delivering material on the prevention and natural treatment of hypertension using bay leaves, the benefits of bay leaves, and the processing of bay leaves for hypertension treatment. The demonstration method is carried out by showing how to process bay leaves. The target of the activity is Prolanis hypertension patients in Noreh Village, within the working area of the Sreseh Health Center, Sampang, Madura. Members of the Chronic Disease Management Program (PROLANIS), especially those with hypertension, were very enthusiastic and motivated to participate in every stage of the community service activity, from blood pressure checks, Prolanis exercises, to education on the benefits of bay leaves. After consuming boiled bay leaves, blood pressure checks on Prolanis members with hypertension showed a 30% decrease in the number of Prolanis members with hypertension, from the previous 76.67% to 46.67%.

Abstract

Inadequate organic waste management in rural communities poses significant environmental and public health challenges, necessitating sustainable interventions at the grassroots level. This community service initiative aimed to establish waste management capacity in Gambang Village, Gudo District, Jombang Regency, through the implementation of Takakura composting systems toward achieving Ecovillage status. The intervention employed a mixed-method approach combining physical resource provision, educational counseling, and hands-on training. Ten Takakura composting units were distributed to health cadres, accompanied by comprehensive training sessions on composting techniques and organic waste utilization. Educational materials were delivered by faculty and students from the Environmental Health Department of the Surabaya Health Polytechnic, Ministry of Health, to health cadres and community residents. Knowledge acquisition was assessed through pre-post test measurements across multiple environmental health domains. Results demonstrated substantial improvements in participant knowledge: biopore understanding increased from 15% to 70%, infiltration well comprehension rose from 10% to 80%, and dental health awareness improved from 13% to 74%. The composting demonstration activities generated considerable enthusiasm among health cadres, evidenced by active participation in discussion forums and question-answer sessions regarding Takakura tool applications and benefits. The intervention successfully enhanced health cadres' practical skills in compost production and organic waste management. This community-based approach demonstrates promising potential for replicating sustainable waste management practices across neighboring communities, thereby advancing the broader objective of establishing Self-Reliant Waste Villages (Ecovillages) in rural Indonesia. The integration of participatory training methods with tangible resource provision proved effective in fostering community ownership and sustained behavioral change in environmental health practices.

Abstract

Stunting is a long-term health problem that mainly impacts the growth and development of young children, particularly in residential areas like Kelurahan Krembangan Selatan, Surabaya. A significant obstacle in preventing stunting is finding a practical way to assess children's nutritional status. This community study aims to raise awareness and educate people about the use of Android-based tools for monitoring body mass index (BMI) and basal metabolic rate (BMR) as innovative methods for detecting stunting risk. The device, tested on 16 infants, enables users to submit detailed data to a web platform for further analysis. Findings reveal that this tool simplifies processes, accelerates data handling, and provides quicker access to up-to-date information, thereby reducing the burden of manual tasks. Results also show that most infants have healthy growth, although some individuals may need more time to understand the benefits. In general, this web-based solution greatly improves the precision and speed of stunting detection and could be widely adopted in areas with limited healthcare infrastructure. However, the study is limited by its small sample size and limited assessment of result length. Future research should focus on a broader population and integrating this tool into larger healthcare systems. This innovation facilitates timely and accurate monitoring of young children's health. The hope is that it will become part of regular posyandu services to help strengthen the stunting prevention program across the Puskesmas Krembangan Selatan area.
