Abstract

Background: Anemia among adolescent girls is a significant public health problem that can adversely affect growth, learning concentration, productivity, and future reproductive health. Preventive efforts include health education and the regular consumption of Iron and Folic Acid (IFA) tablets; however, adherence remains suboptimal due to limited knowledge about anemia and the benefits of iron supplementation. Objective: To analyze the effect of anemia prevention education combined with an Iron and Folic Acid (IFA) tablet adherence campaign on improving the knowledge of adolescent girls at SMPN 4 Kediri, Tabanan Regency. Methods: A one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted involving 60 adolescent girls. Knowledge was assessed using a structured questionnaire before and after the educational intervention, while hemoglobin levels were measured as an initial screening for anemia. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: The mean knowledge score increased from 49.00 ± 5.43 before the intervention to 88.00 ± 4.80 after the intervention (p < 0.001), with a mean improvement of 39.00 ± 7.30 points. The mean hemoglobin level was 14.22 ± 1.60 g/dL, and the majority of participants were not anemic. Conclusion: Anemia prevention education combined with an IFA tablet adherence campaign effectively improved the knowledge of adolescent girls and has the potential to be integrated into the School Health Unit (UKS) program.

Abstract

Limited knowledge among fertile couples regarding contraceptive methods, the continued dominance of three-month injectable contraceptives, and low male involvement in family planning remain important reproductive health challenges. Data from the Darfuar Community Health Center, Biak City District, identified 350 fertile couples as the target population for family planning services, with injectable contraception being the most commonly used method. This community service program aimed to improve participants’ knowledge of family planning, contraceptive options, and the importance of husbands’ participation in reproductive decision-making. Health education was delivered through interactive lectures, discussions, question-and-answer sessions, and educational leaflets involving 35 fertile couples. Evaluation using pre-test and post-test assessments demonstrated an increase in the average knowledge score from 64.3 to 88.6, representing a 24.3-point improvement. Participants also showed better understanding of family planning benefits, long-acting reversible contraceptive methods (LARCs/MKJP), and husbands’ supportive roles. These findings indicate that health education effectively improves family planning knowledge and should be implemented continuously by involving health workers, community health volunteers, community leaders, and married couples to promote informed contraceptive choices and strengthen male participation in family planning.

Abstract

Adolescence is an important transitional phase from childhood to adulthood, characterized by biological, emotional, social, and cognitive changes. During this period, adolescents become a vulnerable age group to reproductive health problems, including sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The lack of knowledge regarding the definition of STIs, the problems they cause, and ways to maintain reproductive health increases the risks faced by adolescents. This community service activity was carried out at SMK Rise, Cirebon Regency, on April 29, 2026, involving 26 students, with the aim of improving the knowledge of grade X students about STIs. The method used was interactive counseling with leaflets and videos, so that the material could be delivered visually, attractively, and easily understood. The activity was conducted by lecturers together with D3 Midwifery students, who not only provided education to the students but also gained real field experience to practice communication and health counseling skills. Based on the results of a self-assessment survey, it was found that most students did not have a deep understanding of STIs and reproductive health. The priority problem identified was the lack of knowledge regarding the definition of STIs, their impacts, and ways to maintain reproductive health. After the counseling session, participants showed enthusiasm and demonstrated improved understanding of the material presented.

Abstract

Chronic anemia is a fundamental public health issue that frequently remains undiagnosed until systemic organ complications emerge. This community service program aimed to enhance blood health awareness and perform early detection of anemia through basic hematological screening in Sukodono Village, Sidoarjo Regency. The implementation method comprised three primary stages: (1) basic hematological screening involving point-of-care testing (POCT) for hemoglobin level, blood pressure, and body mass index (BMI) measurements among 85 productive age and elderly residents; (2) interactive blood health education covering anemia etiology, blood bank technology roles, and internal medicine complication prevention; and (3) individual medical counseling, iron supplement distribution, and primary healthcare referral. Program evaluation was conducted by comparing pre-test and post-test scores along with hemoglobin level profiles. Results demonstrated a significant increase in average participant knowledge from 54.2% (poor category) to 92.6% (good category). Hematological screening identified 24 participants (28.2%) with anemia, comprising 16 cases (18.8%) of mild anemia and 8 cases (9.4%) of moderate anemia. Identified individuals received targeted nutritional counseling and healthcare referral. This initiative proved effective in early detection of blood disorders and strengthening community vigilance against chronic anemia complications.

Abstract

Social media has become an important part of teenagers' lives and can be used as an effective means of health promotion. At the beginning of 2025, Indonesia had around 143 million social media user accounts, equivalent to 50.2% of the population. Social media is also increasingly used as a source of information, including through videos, news, and educational content. This situation presents an opportunity for Karang Taruna to develop health promotion activities that match the characteristics and communication habits of young people. This article aims to discuss the use of social media as a means of health promotion for teenagers through the Karang Taruna organization. The method used is descriptive with a community empowerment approach through education and the use of digital media. Social media can be used to convey information on balanced nutrition, physical activity, reproductive health, mental health, disease prevention, and healthy lifestyle habits. However, its use needs to be accompanied by digital literacy so that teenagers can distinguish between accurate health information and hoaxes.

Abstract

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is an important approach to improving public health through changes in individual, family, and environmental behavior. Implementing PHBS is not only the responsibility of health workers but also requires active involvement from the community as the main actors in health development. Dukuh Pakis Subdistrict is one of the areas in Surabaya City with urban community characteristics and fairly high social and economic activities. Based on population administration data for the second semester of 2024, Dukuh Pakis Urban Village has 15,285 residents, while Dukuh Pakis Subdistrict includes four urban villages, namely Dukuh Pakis, Dukuh Kupang, Gunungsari, and Pradah Kalikendal. The Surabaya City Government has made community empowerment, healthy living behavior (PHBS), sanitation, disease prevention, and strengthening health volunteers an important part of health development. By 2025, the Surabaya City Government also emphasized that strengthening household-level PHBS would be one of the main focuses in the Healthy City program, involving Surabaya Great Volunteers (KSH) and cross-sector collaboration. Surabaya even managed to achieve the Swasti Saba Wistara Paripurna award in 2025.

Abstract

The development of information technology in healthcare services encourages hospitals to implement information systems that can support fast, accurate, effective, and integrated data management and services. The Hospital Management Information System (SIM-RS) is an important tool to support service processes, from patient registration, medical records, clinical services, pharmacy, laboratory, to reporting and decision-making. RSAD Level III Brawijaya Surabaya is a hospital located at Jalan Kesatriyan No. 17, Sawunggaling, Wonokromo District, Surabaya, offering various top services such as phacoemulsification, urology endoscopy, 160-slice CT Scan, 4D ultrasound, medical check-ups, and echocardiography. The use of Hospital Information Systems (SIM-RS) is becoming increasingly important along with the obligation to implement Electronic Medical Records (RME) based on Ministry of Health Regulation No. 24 of 2022. This regulation emphasizes the security, confidentiality, integrity, and availability of medical record data. Additionally, EMRs in healthcare facilities are guided to be integrated with the SATUSEHAT platform.  This article discusses the role of SIM-RS in improving service quality at RSAD Level III Brawijaya Surabaya, especially in terms of service efficiency, information availability, patient safety, data management, and quality evaluation.
