Abstract

Aging is a process of increasing age that involves a decline in the body's ability to repair itself, leading to psychological problems, physical, mental, and socioeconomic decline. Older adults often experience joint problems that interfere with their activities and independence. Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the main causes of knee pain in the elderly, characterized by degeneration of joint cartilage, stiffness, and limited movement. This condition has an impact on the decline in quality of life and independence of the elderly. The prevalence of joint disease in Indonesia is quite high, especially in people over the age of 55. OA is more common in women due to hormonal, anatomical, and physical activity factors. This activity aims to provide physiotherapy education on prevention, non-pharmacological treatment, and simple exercises to support knee function in elderly people with OA. The educational activity was carried out at the Cantewa Health Center, Mojolangu, Malang City, with 15 participants (1 male, 14 females). The methods used included interactive lectures, discussions, and demonstrations of quadriceps strengthening exercises and knee muscle stretching. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' understanding of risk factors, symptoms, and simple exercises in the prevention and management of knee OA. This activity has implications for increasing the awareness of the elderly to perform light physical exercises regularly as a strategy to maintain knee joint health. Community-based physiotherapy education is expected to be carried out continuously.

Abstract

Anemia among adolescent girls remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, with a prevalence of more than 30%. This condition affects learning concentration, productivity, and reproductive health in the future. Orphanages represent one of the vulnerable environments since adolescent girls are at risk of inadequate nutritional intake. This community service activity aimed to improve knowledge of adolescent girls regarding anemia prevention and reproductive health, and to obtain an overview of anemia status through hemoglobin (Hb) examination. The methods included a pre-test, interactive counseling and discussion, Hb measurement, and a post-test involving 35 adolescent girls at Muhammadiyah Girls’ Orphanage in Martapura. The results showed an increase in knowledge scores from an average of 46% at pre-test to 79% at post-test. Hb examination revealed that 62.9% of participants had normal Hb levels, while 37.1% were anemic, ranging from mild to moderate. This activity proved effective in increasing participants’ knowledge and provided objective data on their health condition. These findings highlight the importance of continuous educational programs and regular health monitoring for adolescent girls, especially in orphanage settings, to reduce anemia prevalence and support reproductive health.

Abstract

Community service on postpartum mother assistance using Oketani and oxytocin massage techniques was carried out in Awang Bangkal Barat Village, Karang Intan 2 Public Health Center area, Banjar Regency. This activity was based on the limited knowledge of postpartum mothers regarding massage techniques that can increase breast milk production, whereas the success of exclusive breastfeeding is crucial for infant growth and the prevention of stunting. The program was conducted through counseling, discussions, Q&A sessions, and massage practice facilitated by lecturers, midwifery students, and midwives from the public health center. Knowledge evaluation was performed using pre-test and post-test assessments. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge: the “good” category improved from 40% to 80%, while the “poor” category decreased from 30% to 0%. Beyond improved knowledge, Oketani and oxytocin massage techniques were proven effective in supporting smooth breast milk production through neuroendocrine mechanisms and improved breast tissue function. These findings emphasize that education and assistance with massage techniques for postpartum mothers serve as simple, safe, and beneficial non-pharmacological interventions to support breastfeeding success. Thus, this activity contributes to reducing the risk of exclusive breastfeeding failure and plays an important role in stunting prevention in the local community.

Abstract

Children with intellectual disabilities are often subjected to violence because their intellectual limitations prevent them from realizing that they have undergone physical changes, so they do not mind when other people touch them. The results of a needs assessment conducted by Rutgers WPF Indonesia together with the Directorate of PKLK Development of the Ministry of Education and Culture in 2017 in three provinces in Indonesia showed that adolescents with intellectual disabilities have low knowledge about the concepts of women and men, puberty, pregnancy, healthy relationships, and protection from sexual violence. Sexual violence against persons with disabilities is a serious problem in Indonesia, including in Banjar Regency. The purpose of this community service is to provide an understanding of reproductive health using magnetic crossword puzzle boards and Flip Chat at SLB N 2 Martapura. With increased knowledge and understanding, children with disabilities can identify actions that should not be done to them by others. The results of this community service program indicate that improving reproductive education for children with intellectual disabilities through the pre-test and post-test method is effective in enhancing their knowledge. The pre-test results showed that only 4 respondents (13%) had good knowledge, while in the post-test, this number increased to 20 respondents (67%). This improvement helps the children understand how to behave and act assertively to protect themselves, as well as encourages them to seek help immediately if they encounter any indication of a crime directed at them.

Abstract

This Community Service activity was held on September 21, 2025, at the Elderly Posyandu (Integrated Health Post for Elderly People) in Bibis Luhur Village, Banjarsari District, Surakarta, with 84 participants. The main challenges faced by the partners were the elderly's low level of knowledge regarding hypertension, the lack of regular blood pressure checks, and the lack of skills among cadres in conducting blood pressure checks and simple acupressure techniques. The activities included providing educational materials on hypertension, pre- and post-tests, blood pressure checks, and acupressure training at points PC6, HT7, and GB20. Results showed an increase in participant knowledge based on the post-test results, as well as in the cadres' ability to perform blood pressure checks independently. Participants were also able to practice acupressure and demonstrated high enthusiasm throughout the activity. This program resulted in increased community understanding, enhanced cadre skills, and a commitment to continue regular blood pressure monitoring by Posyandu cadres. This activity is expected to become a sustainable effort in preventing and managing hypertension in the community.

Abstract

Nutrisi terbaik dalam kualitas dan kuantitas pada saat masa pertumbuhan otak yang terjadi dari 0 bulan sampai 6 bulan terkandung dalam ASI Ekslusif. Praktik pemberian ASI eksklusif. dari 276 bayi usia (0-6bulan) Di Wilayah Sungai Beliung Pontianak hanya 187 (67,75%) yang melaksanakan ASI eksklusif. Sedangkan, presentase bayi usia kurang dari 6 bulan mendapatkan ASI ekslusif di Kota Pontianak sebesar 57,6% dengan target 50%. Walaupun telah memenuhi target, faktanya lebih dari setengah bayi usia 0-6 bulan di wilayah Kelurahan Sungai Beliung telah mendapatkan MP ASI dini yang memberikan dampak kesehatan yang kurang baik, diantaranya meningkatkan kasus stunting dan masalah gizi lainnya. Daun katuk berkhasiat untuk menstimulasi pengeluaran air susu ibu sedangkan kandungan steroid dan polifenol didalamnya berfungsi untuk menaikkan kadar prolactin dengan demikian produksi ASI dapat meningkat. Daun lembayung bermanfaat untuk menstimulasi hormon oksitosin dan prolaktin seperti alkoloid, saponin, polifenol, steroid, dan flavonoid sehingga dapat meningkatkan produksi ASI. Sasaran dalam kegiatan ini adalah Ibu Hamil TM 3, kelompok ibu menyusui, dan kader yang berjumlah 50 orang didukung oleh mitra yaitu bidan wilayah kerja Puskesmas Perumnas II. Pelaksanaan kegiatan dilakukan dengan bentuk Penyuluhan tentang Peningkatan Produksi ASI melalui Pemberian Kombinasi Daun Katuk dan Lembayung pada tanggal 13 Juni 2025. Dari 50 peserta yang hadir, tim mengambil sampel 30 peserta. Analisis data dilakukan dengan uji Wilcoxon dan didapatkan hasil p value = 0.003 sehingga dapat disimpulkan terdapat perbedaan pengetahuan yang bermakna antara sebelum dan sesudah mendapatkan penyuluhan tentang Peningkatan Produksi ASI melalui Pemberian Daun Katuk dan Lembayung.

Abstract

Urinary incontinence is an involuntary leakage of urine commonly experienced by postpartum women due to pelvic floor muscle weakness. This condition can interfere with daily activities and reduce quality of life. Physiotherapy serves as an effective non-pharmacological approach for the prevention and management of urinary incontinence, particularly through pelvic floor muscle exercises such as Kegel exercise and its variations. This educational activity aimed to improve the understanding of postpartum women at Posyandu Mulyorejo Asparaga RW 4 regarding the prevention and management of urinary incontinence through physiotherapy-based exercises. The study employed a one-group pre–post test design, in which participants completed questionnaires before and after the educational intervention to assess program effectiveness. Educational materials were delivered using leaflets and practical demonstrations of pelvic floor muscle exercises, including classic Kegel exercise, half squat, bridge exercise, cat–cow stretch, cross-legged breathing, and supine relaxation. Post-test results showed a significant increase in participants’ understanding, with all respondents providing correct answers to every post-test question. The physiotherapy education program proved effective in enhancing awareness and skills among postpartum women to independently perform pelvic floor muscle exercises at home as a non-pharmacological strategy to prevent and reduce symptoms of urinary incontinence.

Abstract

Educating students about proper body posture while sitting is an important aspect of maintaining physical health, especially in the school environment. This study aims to provide an understanding of good and ideal sitting posture to students at SMPK Santo Yusup 2 Malang. The method used is an educational approach through seminars and visual aids such as posters and PowerPoint presentations, where students are taught the impact of poor sitting posture and how to arrange their sitting position correctly. Evaluation results showed an increase in students' knowledge about proper body posture, evidenced by post-test results from questionnaires completed by students after receiving the material, and changes in behavior regarding maintaining correct sitting positions. Thus, this educational activity not only contributes to students' physical health but can also enhance concentration and learning productivity. It is hoped that this counseling can become a reference for other educational institutions in implementing similar programs.
