Abstract

Ketersediaan stok darah merupakan komponen krusial dalam sistem pelayanan kesehatan, namun partisipasi masyarakat di wilayah urban seperti Surabaya masih di bawah target 2% populasi. Kelurahan Kebonsari memiliki potensi risiko kesehatan yang tinggi, namun peran Karang Taruna dalam donor darah masih bersifat insidental dan terhambat oleh rendahnya literasi kesehatan. Sebanyak 70% pemuda awalnya memiliki ketakutan terhadap jarum suntik dan mitos kesehatan. Tujuan pengabdian ini adalah membangun ekosistem donor darah berkelanjutan melalui pemberdayaan 20 stakeholder kunci Karang Taruna Kebonsari. Metode yang digunakan adalah Training of Trainers (ToT) dan Focus Group Discussion (FGD) yang meliputi tahap baseline survei, intervensi edukasi intensif, dan pembentukan database digital. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan literasi kesehatan peserta secara signifikan dengan rata-rata kenaikan skor sebesar 48,3%, di mana pemahaman syarat medis meningkat dari 35% menjadi 90%. Seluruh peserta (100%) menyatakan komitmen tertulis sebagai pendonor tetap dan pionir edukasi di tingkat RT/RW. Luaran program berupa Buku Pedoman Mitra dan sistem database "Kartu Donor Rutin" menjadi fondasi kemandirian stok darah di Kelurahan Kebonsari. Kesimpulannya, hambatan utama donor darah adalah masalah persepsi yang dapat dimitigasi melalui edukasi kelompok kecil yang intensif bagi kader kepemudaan.

Abstract

Maternal and neonatal morbidity remains a critical challenge in Indonesia, particularly within the Pasean Community Health Center area in Pamekasan. Key contributing factors include limited community-based education, poor knowledge of nutrition and pregnancy danger signs, and suboptimal health cadre capacity. This community service initiative aims to enhance knowledge, empower cadres through proactive education, and reduce morbidity via early detection. The intervention involves the PELEM MANIS (Proactive Learning and Management for Mom and Kids) booklet. Activities were conducted using a hybrid model (online and face-to-face) encompassing lectures, discussions, and demonstrations. Program effectiveness was evaluated through pre- and post-tests to measure knowledge, while awareness was assessed via K6 maternal coverage. Results demonstrated a significant increase in knowledge and awareness among pregnant women, parents, and health cadres regarding pregnancy, childbirth, and neonatal care. This improvement is evidenced by higher post-test scores. The innovative booklet proved effective and relevant in helping stakeholders identify and manage emergencies throughout the maternal and neonatal periods.

Abstract

Low reproductive health literacy and a high risk of anemia among adolescents demand sustainable educational interventions. The partner (SMA Dr. Soetomo) has implemented regular health checks and anemia screening; however, these activities are time-limited, do not yet allow for independent screening, and lack digital media support for control and monitoring by the school or health workers. The educational application "Fikes-BleSD" was developed as a digital solution to address these limitations. The objective of this community service (PKM) is to evaluate the effectiveness of Fikes-BleSD empowerment in increasing reproductive health knowledge, compliance with Blood-Added Tablet (TTD) consumption, and hemoglobin (Hb) indicators, as well as strengthening school-based monitoring mechanisms. The method used is a participatory approach including multimedia content development, training for teachers and peer educators, the launch of the application featuring reminders and monitoring dashboards, as well as quantitative pre-post evaluations (knowledge questionnaires, TTD compliance) and Hb screening. The results found that >90% of female students downloaded the application; ≥80% activated TTD reminders; knowledge scores increased significantly (≥30%); compliance and dietary patterns improved; and an increase in Hb was observed in the compliant group. Integration into the School Health Unit (UKS) and the formation of a digital team ensure sustainability. The conclusion of this PKM is that Fikes-BleSD effectively overcomes the limitations of periodic control activities by providing a means for independent screening and digital monitoring, making it feasible for replication in other schools.

Abstract

Kawasan Ekowisata Mangrove Wonorejo menghadapi tantangan kesehatan lingkungan dan keterbatasan literasi kesehatan masyarakat pesisir. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kesadaran kesehatan (health awareness) melalui kolaborasi internasional antara Prodi S-1 Kebidanan Universitas Dr. Soetomo (UNITOMO) dan Universitas Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA) Malaysia. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan partisipatif yang meliputi persiapan, sosialisasi lapangan (fieldwork), diskusi kelompok terpumpun, serta evaluasi berbasis data. Sebanyak 40 peserta terlibat dalam kegiatan ini dengan penilaian menggunakan skala Likert untuk mengukur skor pre-test dan post-test. Hasil menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan pada seluruh indikator capaian, dengan peningkatan tertinggi pada pemahaman ekosistem mangrove bagi kesehatan (2.8 ke 4.6) dan sikap terhadap Pola Hidup Bersih dan Sehat (3.2 ke 4.7). Kolaborasi ini tidak hanya meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat lokal tetapi juga memperluas wawasan global mahasiswa melalui pertukaran metode community health engagement. Disimpulkan bahwa integrasi perspektif global dan pendekatan humanis efektif dalam membangun fondasi kesehatan masyarakat yang tangguh dan mendukung keberlanjutan ekowisata pesisir.

Abstract

LKP Aora Wistara is a training institution for students with disabilities in Surabaya focusing on economic independence through the art of batik, yet it still faces challenges in environmental safety literacy. This community service activity aims to empower disabled students through the integration of vocational skills and emergency mitigation education. The method employed was an inclusive participatory approach involving strategic coordination, digital application-based emergency training, and batik mentoring themed "Resilience Motif." A total of 30 students actively participated with the support of sign language instructors. Evaluation results using a Likert scale showed significant improvements across all indicators, with the highest surge in digital application usage skills (from 1.8 to 4.2) and participant self-confidence (final score of 4.8). The program successfully produced an Inclusive Health Education Application and enhanced independent mitigation capabilities. It is concluded that the synergy between inclusive digital technology and creative art activities is effective in building psychological resilience and independence for vulnerable groups with disabilities.

Abstract

Blood group identification from an early age is an important aspect of health awareness and serves as a personal identity that can support emergency management, such as anemia and blood transfusion needs. This community service activity aimed to improve students’ knowledge and awareness regarding the importance of knowing their blood group through health education and direct examination. The methods included health education on the importance of blood groups and anemia prevention, followed by ABO and Rhesus blood group examination using the agglutination method with Anti-A, Anti-B, Anti-AB, and Anti-D antisera from capillary blood samples. The subjects consisted of elementary and junior high school students, including 60 students from SMP 12 Surakarta, 50 students from SMP 18 Surakarta, and 50 students from MIAI Grobogan. The results showed that most respondents in SMP 12 (70.0%) and SMP 18 (88.0%) were aged 13–15 years, while MIAI Grobogan was dominated by students aged 11–12 years (56.0%). The level of knowledge was still low in SMP 12 (23.3%) and SMP 18 (36.0%), but higher in MIAI Grobogan (64.0%). Most students showed a neutral response toward the examination, although fear was higher in MIAI Grobogan (60.0%). Overall, blood group distribution was dominated by type O (30.6%) and A (27.5%), followed by B (25.6%) and AB (16.3%). In conclusion, this activity was effective in improving students’ knowledge and awareness regarding the importance of blood group identification; however, continuous educational reinforcement is still needed.
