Abstract

One of the main challenges in improving access to safe sanitation is the low level of public awareness of the health risks posed by dirty water catchment basins. This activity aims to increase community knowledge and awareness of the importance of environmental sanitation, particularly in the construction and maintenance of healthy foul and rainwater harvesting basins. The methods used included lectures, discussions, questions and answers, and hands-on demonstrations involving active community participation. The results of this activity showed a significant increase in community knowledge, skills, and behavior related to environmental sanitation. The community not only understands the importance of healthy water reservoirs, but is also skilled in making and maintaining them. This activity emphasizes the importance of community empowerment as a form of providing information in terms of maintaining the living environment for environmental health and quality of life.

Abstract

Eating habits in school children are formed from an early age and form the basis of children's nutritional intake patterns at a later age. The aim of this service is to increase school children's knowledge about balanced nutrition and children's skills in choosing balanced nutritious food through the socialization of “fill my plate” (in Indonesia: “isi piringku”). The target participants of this service activity are 50 elementary school children on Liukang Loe Island, Bulukumba Regency. The knowledge of the target group was assessed through pre and post-tests distributed before and after socialization. Pre-test and post test data were then analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results of data analysis showed that in the initial condition, the target group with sufficient knowledge of 44% increased to 68% in the condition after socialization. The Wilcoxon test results showed that there was a significant difference in knowledge level between before and after the target group received the "fill of my plate" socialization (p=0.004 <0.05). The target group of elementary school children was very enthusiastic in participating in the socialization and became a good alternative in increasing students' knowledge related to portion intake and food variations.

Abstract

Mangroves are widely known for their role as natural protection against various environmental risks such as storms, tsunamis, waves and coastal erosion by being the first line of defense in protecting coastlines. Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, mangrove forests have been lost due to the pressures of urban development, the rapid expansion of aquaculture and agriculture, mining, overexploitation of timber, and increasing environmental risks. This activity aims to assess mangrove planting as a natural protection measure for the risk vulnerability of the coastal environment. The target of this service activity is the coastal area of Tongo Village. The results of service activities show that the mangroves planted on the coast of Tongo Village, namely Rhizophora Sp and Ceriops Sp grow well. It will take at least another five years to assess its effectiveness in mitigating coastal erosion. Planting mangroves in coastal areas is very important in an effort to protect the natural risk vulnerability of the coastal environment. This is important to do as soon as possible because the growth of mangrove plants requires a long time to get maximum benefits.

Abstract

Sexual violence is a crime that is in the global public spotlight, with adolescents as vulnerable victims of this crime. In Indonesia, sexual violence against adolescents is the highest case among other cases of violence. Lack of knowledge about sexual violence is one of the causes of high cases of sexual violence in adolescents in Indonesia. Therefore, debriefing on sexual violence needs to be done to minimize sexual violence in adolescents. By implementing sharing-knowledge of sexual violence in adolescents, this community service activity aims to share knowledge and minimize sexual violence in adolescents, especially in the Tinambung neighborhood, Majene District, West Sulawesi. The target of this activity is young people in the Tinambung neighborhood who are involved in Mandar Peduli. The method of lecturing and watching movies is the right choice in implementing community service activities. The results of this service activity are expected to increase understanding and awareness of the general public, especially members of the Mandar Peduli community of sexual violence. In addition, there is an agreement in the minutes of the event which is a concrete step that can be taken through Mandar Peduli in the prevention and handling of sexual violence in adolescents, which can mainly be found in various environments in the community through the guidance of the West Sulawesi University sexual violence prevention and handling unit, this is in accordance with the hope that it can make a positive contribution in preventing and controlling sexual violence in the Tinambung Region, West Sulawesi

Abstract

Traditional fishermen are exposed to various occupational hazards due to the nature of their work, often lacking adequate safety practices and health knowledge. This community service initiative aimed to improve occupational safety and health (OSH) behaviors among traditional fishermen on Kambuno Island, Pulau Sembilan District, Indonesia. Using a one-group pre- and post-test design, the intervention targeted a sample of 60 out of 862 local fishermen. The program involved counseling sessions and the distribution of OSH guidelines specifically tailored for fishing activities, delivered over a two-month period. The intervention assessed various components related to OSH, including the use and completeness of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), knowledge and practice levels, personal health habits, treatment-seeking behavior, and environmental health awareness. Results showed significant improvements in PPE usage, knowledge levels, and OSH practices. For instance, post-intervention data indicated a substantial increase in the use of head, hand, and foot protection, as well as life vests. Furthermore, positive behavioral changes were observed in boat cleaning, self-care, and formal healthcare-seeking behaviors, as fishermen increasingly opted for health centers over traditional treatments. The findings suggest that focused OSH interventions can effectively enhance safety and health behaviors in high-risk fishing communities. This program underscores the importance of continued education and monitoring to sustain these improvements and reduce occupational risks in traditional fishing communities.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a major global health issue, with rising prevalence linked to lifestyle factors. In Indonesia, DM was the third leading cause of mortality in 2019, and cases are projected to increase by 47% by 2045. Given these concerns, community education plays a crucial role in enhancing public awareness regarding DM prevention and management. This program aimed to enhance community knowledge about DM risks in Taratara Satu Village, Tomohon Barat District. A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was used, involving 12 DM-diagnosed respondents. The intervention included a pre-test, door-to-door education using lectures and visual media, and a post-test. Data were analyzed descriptively to assess knowledge improvement. Before the intervention, 58.33% of participants had good knowledge, while 41.67% had moderate knowledge. After the program, 91.67% demonstrated good knowledge, showing a significant improvement. The educational program successfully enhanced public knowledge about Diabetes Mellitus in Taratara Satu Village. The intervention proved effective in increasing awareness of DM risk factors, symptoms, and prevention strategies. This study underscores the importance of continuous community education to promote healthier lifestyles and reduce DM prevalence.

Based on Riskesdas 2020, the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia reached 27.67%, while the national target is 14% by 2024. To support these efforts, Tri Tunas Nasional Institute of Technology and Health in collaboration with Rumah Zakat organized a community service program entitled "Healthy Mothers, Stunting-Free Children Agent". This activity was aimed at pregnant and breastfeeding mothers in Rapokalling District, Makassar, with the aim of increasing their knowledge and awareness about stunting and how to prevent it. This program uses participatory education methods, interactive discussions, and food distribution as practical support. Evaluation was conducted through pre-test and post-test to measure knowledge improvement. Results showed a significant increase in participants' understanding of stunting and balanced nutrition, as well as behavioral changes towards a healthy diet. These findings demonstrate the importance of community-based interventions integrated with logistical support for successful stunting prevention.

Abstract

A common issue in public health services is the limited knowledge and skills of posyandu cadres in conducting accurate anthropometric measurements, which affects the assessment of children's nutritional status. This community service program through training aims to improve the competencies of posyandu cadres in anthropometric measurements in Mawang Village, Somba Opu District, Gowa Regency. Anthropometric measurements are essential for assessing children's nutritional status and overall community health. The participatory training method involved cadres actively in every stage, from planning to evaluation. The training was conducted on September 14, 21, and 28, 2024, at Nurul Huda Mosque, with the participation of 35 posyandu cadres. The training materials included anthropometric measurement theory, correct techniques, and practical demonstrations. The evaluation results showed a significant increase in cadres' knowledge, with an average pre-test score of 13.37 and an average post-test score of 14.60 (p-value 0.000). This increase demonstrates the effectiveness of the training in enhancing cadres' understanding of anthropometric measurements, which is expected to contribute to improving the quality of health services at posyandu. This study emphasizes the importance of continuous training for posyandu cadres to support public health improvement efforts.
