Abstract

Pre-eclampsia is one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality; therefore, promotive and preventative measures are required to improve the knowledge and skills of pregnant women. This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of pregnant women through antenatal exercise as a means of preventing pre-eclampsia in the riverside area served by the Karang Intan 2 Community Health Centre. The methods used included health education sessions, demonstrations, antenatal exercise practice, support from midwives and community health workers, and the distribution of leaflets as an educational tool. An evaluation was carried out using pre- and post-tests to measure changes in knowledge and an observation sheet to assess participants’ skills. The activity involved 20 pregnant women, 3 community health workers and 2 midwives. The results showed an increase in the knowledge and skills of pregnant women in performing antenatal exercise following the activity. Participants also demonstrated high enthusiasm and were able to practise the antenatal exercise movements more accurately in accordance with the procedures. The involvement of community health workers and educational materials supported the sustainability of antenatal exercise programmes within the community. This initiative demonstrates that education combined with hands-on practice is an effective strategy for enhancing the capacity of pregnant women as a promotive and preventive measure against pre-eclampsia, and has the potential to be integrated into the routine activities of antenatal classes at primary healthcare facilities.

Abstract

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a non-progressive disorder of movement and posture resulting from brain damage during development, often accompanied by gait abnormalities due to spasticity in the lower limb muscles. A common orthotic intervention is the Ankle-Foot Orthosis (AFO), which serves to stabilize the ankle complex, prevent contractures, and improve gait efficiency. This community service initiative aimed to provide screening, assessment, AFO fabrication, and usage education for children with cerebral palsy at the TOP Clinic, while also enhancing parental understanding regarding AFO care and use. The activity was conducted in four stages: outreach and screening; assessment; casting and AFO fabrication by the TOP Clinic’s orthotist-prosthetist; and fitting, accompanied by evaluation and education. Ten children with cerebral palsy participated in the program. The results demonstrated improved stability and gait patterns in the children following AFO use consistent with scientific evidence regarding AFO effectiveness for this population—as well as increased parental understanding of device maintenance. This initiative is expected to serve as a model for sustainable orthotic services for children with cerebral palsy, particularly for families with limited access to healthcare.

Abstract

Anemia among pregnant women remains a significant public health problem due to its potential adverse effects on maternal and fetal health. According to the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey, the national prevalence of anemia among pregnant women was 27.7%. In the working area of Martapura 2 Public Health Center, Banjar Regency, anemia prevalence reached 13.74% in Keraton Urban Village and 18.31% in Pesayangan Urban Village. These conditions highlight the need to strengthen anemia prevention and management through active community involvement. Low knowledge among health cadres, limited support from husbands and families, and limited healthcare personnel may hinder prevention efforts. Therefore, community empowerment is needed to improve knowledge and adherence through the utilization of local iron-rich food resources. This activity aimed to strengthen the role of health cadres and improve the knowledge and adherence of pregnant women and cadres in anemia prevention and management through participatory education and assistance in processing local iron-rich foods. The activity involved 30 pregnant women and 30 health cadres in Keraton and Pesayangan Urban Villages. Activities included preparation, interactive lectures, discussions, demonstrations, hands-on practice of local iron-rich food processing, and evaluation. Data were collected using structured questionnaires consisting of 10 items for each assessment domain. Changes in knowledge and adherence before and after the intervention were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The intervention was designed to strengthen community participation and practical skills in anemia prevention and management among pregnant women and health cadres.

Abstract

Spiritual intervention support provided to pregnant women by village-level health volunteers is a crucial effort in fostering the psychological readiness needed for childbirth. Such support offers emotional and spiritual reinforcement, contributing to a sense of calm, enhanced psychological comfort, and reduced anxiety as delivery approaches. The objectives are: 1) to increase health volunteers' knowledge regarding spiritual intervention support for pregnant women; 2) to improve awareness, attitudes, and practices concerning spiritual intervention support for pregnant women; and 3) to empower health volunteers to provide spiritual support to pregnant women. This community service was carried out from August 10 to 12, 2026, involving 34 health volunteers in Joton Village, Jogonalan, Klaten. The activity through participatory training comprising lectures, discussion, and simulation, evaluated with a pretest-posttest design, analysed descriptively and tested using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results showed an increase in mean knowledge score from 94.29 to 99.71, attitude from 90.69 to 99.40, and skill from 97.26 to 99.83, all statistically significant (p<0.05). This activity concludes that participatory training effectively improves cadre competence in spiritual intervention companionship for pregnant women, warranting follow-up mentoring and evaluation of its impact on the psychological wellbeing of the pregnant women being assisted.

Abstract

Hypertension is a chronic health problem requiring early detection, regular blood pressure monitoring, medication adherence, lifestyle modification, and sustained community support. This community service activity aimed to improve community knowledge and self-management in hypertension control while strengthening health cadres’ capacity through education, acupressure, and acupuncture as complementary interventions. The activity employed a participatory, promotive, preventive, and applied approach in Bibis Luhur RW XXII, Nusukan, Banjarsari, Surakarta, involving individuals with hypertension, families, health cadres, and community members. Activities included problem identification, health education, screening and blood pressure measurement, acupuncture services, and cadre training on early detection, relaxation techniques, and simple acupressure. A total of 51 participants received the service. Mean systolic blood pressure decreased from 146.1 to 137.1 mmHg, while mean diastolic blood pressure decreased from 86.5 to 82.1 mmHg, with statistically significant differences (p<0.001 and p=0.002, respectively). Forty-eight participants (94.1%) reported improved or reduced symptoms, while the mean health cadre knowledge score increased from 7.07 to 8.60 (21.7%). These findings indicate that community empowerment through strengthening health cadre capacity and providing acupuncture-acupressure services may support complementary and sustainable hypertension control.

Abstract

Dysmenorrhea is one of the most common reproductive health issues experienced by adolescent girls, negatively impacting their daily activities and learning concentration. In Cindai Alus Village, Martapura District, Banjar Regency, low health literacy and the absence of structured educational programs have led to limited knowledge regarding menstrual pain management, often forcing teenagers to rely on unverified information sources. This community service program aims to improve the knowledge of adolescent girls through reproductive health education integrated with the reinforcement of the youth posyandu (health post) using pocketbook media. The activity was conducted over three months (May–July 2026) involving 50 female adolescent participants aged 10–18 years. Evaluation was carried out using a pre-test and post-test questionnaire design. The results showed a significant improvement in knowledge levels; prior to the education, 50% of participants had poor knowledge, whereas post-intervention, all participants fell into the fair and good categories, with the proportion of good knowledge increasing dramatically from 16% to 68%. This success was strongly supported by village officials, midwives, and youth posyandu cadres. The program has proven to be effective and worthy of sustainable integration into adolescent reproductive health services at the community level.
