Abstract

HIV/AIDS cases in Indonesia remain high, particularly among adolescents. Limited knowledge and the perception that HIV/AIDS is a taboo topic make adolescents vulnerable to risky behaviors. This community service activity aimed to improve adolescents’ knowledge about HIV/AIDS and to introduce the Pantau HIV/AIDS (PAHIVA) application as an Android-based early detection tool. The implementation methods included preparation (coordination, permission, and material development), implementation (health education and PAHIVA application introduction), and evaluation (pre-test and post-test). The activity was carried out at SMA Negeri 6 Singkawang Utara, involving 40 participants consisting of students, guidance counselors, and the school principal. The Wilcoxon test showed a significant increase in students’ knowledge, with a median pre-test score of 72 (53–87) and a post-test score of 86 (67–100), p = 0.002. The program’s outputs included mass media publication, video documentation, and educational pamphlets. These results indicate that digital application-based health education is effective in improving adolescents’ literacy about HIV/AIDS. This activity is expected to serve as a promotive-preventive education model that can be sustained through peer group strengthening and collaboration between schools and health facilities.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, including in Sungai Beliung Village, Pontianak Barat District. The increasing number of stunting cases indicates that preventive efforts during pregnancy have not been optimal, particularly related to maternal knowledge regarding nutrition during the first 1,000 days of life (1000 HPK). The limited use of digital educational media at the community level also contributes to the low accessibility of health information among pregnant women. This community service activity aimed to improve pregnant women’s knowledge regarding stunting prevention through health education and the use of the CETING (Cegah Stunting) application. The activity was conducted at Posyandu in the working area of Puskesmas Perumnas II involving 15 pregnant women, 4 health cadres, and 2 midwives. The implementation stages included situation analysis, coordination with health centers and cadres, preparation of educational media and application, implementation of counseling and application training, and evaluation through pre-test and post-test. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed an increase in participants’ knowledge, with median pre-test scores of 8 (5–11) increasing to 10 (7–14) after the intervention. Statistical analysis indicated a significant difference before and after the education (p=0.002). Participants also demonstrated high enthusiasm during discussions and application simulations. The CETING application can serve as an alternative digital educational medium for supporting stunting prevention programs among pregnant women. Continuous education and collaboration between health workers and cadres are needed to optimize the sustainability of this program

Abstract

Stunting is a nutritional problem that remains a challenge in improving the quality of child health in Indonesia. Mothers' low knowledge about stunting prevention is one of the factors contributing to the incidence of stunting in children. This community service activity aims to increase the knowledge of mothers of infants aged 0–12 months about stunting prevention through health education using booklets in Sungai Beliung Village, Pontianak City. The method used was health education through counseling and interactive discussions using booklets. Participants' knowledge was measured before and after the education to assess the effectiveness of the activity. The results showed an increase in participants' knowledge after receiving education, indicated by an increase in the number of participants with good knowledge. The booklets helped participants understand information about stunting, the importance of the First 1,000 Days of Life, meeting children's nutritional needs, and growth monitoring. Health education using booklets effectively increases mothers' knowledge and has the potential to support stunting prevention efforts in the community.

Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease that requires continuous antidiabetic medication use, making adequate knowledge of proper medication management essential for patients. This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge of patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus regarding antidiabetic medication management through education on obtaining, using, storing, and disposing of medicines properly (DAGUSIBU) at the Integrated Non-Communicable Disease Post (Posbindu PTM) of Lepo-Lepo Primary Health Center, Kendari City. The program was conducted through interactive counseling and knowledge assessment using pretest and posttest questionnaires administered to 50 participants. Data were analyzed descriptively and using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results showed that the mean knowledge score increased from 47.10 to 91.50 after the educational intervention. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (p<0.001). The normalized gain value of 0.84 indicated a high level of educational effectiveness. This educational program effectively improved participants’ knowledge of antidiabetic medication management and should be implemented continuously to enhance medication literacy among patients with chronic diseases.

Abstract

Home garden utilization is a community empowerment strategy that improves household food security and family economic resilience. However, members of the Kemuning Dasawisma Group in Wua-Wua Subdistrict, Kendari City, have not utilized their home gardens optimally due to limited cultivation knowledge, inadequate access to production inputs, and lack of technical assistance. This community service program aimed to improve community capacity in managing home gardens through education, training, input provision, and mentoring. Activities included training on vegetable and medicinal plant cultivation, field demonstrations, input distribution, monitoring, and evaluation using pre-test and post-test assessments involving 20 households. Results showed a 77% increase in participants’ knowledge, with an average score improvement of 36.3 points. Plant survival reached 87%, with an average of 12 productive polybags per household. Vegetable production ranged from 1.8–3.2 kg per household, reducing food expenditures by IDR 55,000–85,000. The program effectively improved household food security and economic independence.

Abstract

The global waste problem is currently at an alarming level and is likely to worsen over time. According to World Bank data, global waste volume is predicted to surge significantly, reaching 3.4 billion tons by 2050, with low-income countries projected to experience a threefold increase in waste production. Global waste is dominated by organic and plastic waste. Organic waste accounts for 44%, paper waste 17%, and plastic waste approximately 12% of the total waste volume.  Community service activities in waste management in Hamlet 3, Ajinembah Village aim to conduct outreach and education to the community about waste management, especially the utilization of used plastic waste into useful products such as paving blocks, training in skills in processing plastic waste into competitive local products, promoting mutual cooperation and environmental clean-up actions. The activities include outreach, training, and the application of appropriate technology to process inorganic waste. The results achieved include increased knowledge, attitudes, and actions of partners regarding waste management. Partners have acquired the knowledge, attitudes, and actions to manage inorganic waste and the skills to make paving blocks from used plastic waste.

Abstract

Family Planning (KB) is a program designed to regulate the number of children in a community while helping to improve parents’ reproductive health. One of the key objectives of Family Planning is to assist Community Health Centers (PUS) in planning the number of children and the spacing between births, which ultimately benefits the health of both mothers and infants. One area where FP coverage has not yet reached its target is in East Kotawaringin Regency, where the 2024 target is 66.59%, particularly in the Ketapang 1 Community Health Center (Puskesmas) service area, where the 2024 target is 60%. Although this target has increased, it is still far from the national FP coverage target of 70–80%. The community service method involved conducting a pre-test in the service area of the Ketapang I Community Health Center in Kotawaringin Timur Regency in collaboration with village midwives, Posyandu cadres, and local neighborhood association (RT) representatives. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in knowledge regarding PUS after the education session—rising to 83,3% from 36,7% prior to the session. This community service initiative demonstrates that community-based education can serve as an effective form of health education in promotive and preventive efforts to support family planning programs.

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding is a crucial measure for improving maternal and infant health; however, pregnant women's knowledge regarding the benefits and practices of breastfeeding still requires improvement. This community service activity aimed to enhance the knowledge of third-trimester pregnant women regarding exclusive breastfeeding at the Basarang Community Health Center (Puskesmas), Kapuas Regency. The method employed involved health education—delivered through interactive lectures, discussions, Q&A sessions, and the distribution of leaflets—to 15 third-trimester pregnant women. Evaluation was conducted using pre-tests and post-tests. The results showed an increase in the average knowledge score from 62.0 to 88.7 following the education. The proportion of participants with a "good" level of knowledge rose from 20.0% to 86.7%, while the percentage with "poor" knowledge fell to 0%. The education proved effective in increasing the knowledge and readiness of pregnant women regarding exclusive breastfeeding. Similar activities should be implemented sustainably through antenatal care services to support increased exclusive breastfeeding coverage.

Abstract

Stunting is a major public health problem that adversely affects physical growth, cognitive development, and the quality of human resources. Stunting prevention can be achieved by optimizing nutritional and health interventions during the First 1,000 Days of Life (1,000 HPK), a critical period from conception until a child reaches two years of age. However, inadequate family knowledge regarding the importance of this period remains a significant challenge. This community service program aimed to improve family knowledge of the First 1,000 Days of Life as a strategy for stunting prevention in Cempaga District, Kotawaringin Timur Regency. Participants included pregnant women, mothers of children under five, prospective brides and grooms, Posyandu (Integrated Health Service Post) cadres, and other family members. The program was conducted through health education sessions, interactive discussions, demonstrations of nutritious meal preparation, distribution of educational materials, and evaluation using pretest and posttest assessments. The results indicated an improvement in participants' knowledge following the educational intervention. Participants also demonstrated a better understanding of balanced nutrition, antenatal care, iron supplementation, exclusive breastfeeding, appropriate complementary feeding, immunization, and clean and healthy living behaviors. Education on the First 1,000 Days of Life was effective in improving family knowledge as an important strategy for stunting prevention

Abstract

The abuse of narcotics, psychotropic substances, and other addictive substances (NAPZA) is a major issue that threatens the health, social development, and future of the younger generation, particularly Generation Z. Limited education and strong environmental influences are key factors that increase the risk of drug abuse among adolescents. This community service program aimed to improve students' knowledge, awareness, and preventive attitudes toward the dangers of NAPZA abuse through an educational intervention conducted in a school setting. The program was implemented at SMA Negeri 2 Kendari, involving 30 students as participants in collaboration with the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) of Kendari City. The educational methods included interactive lectures, group discussions, question-and-answer sessions, and the delivery of educational materials through presentations and leaflets. The topics covered included the types of NAPZA, their health impacts, social and legal consequences, and strategies for preventing drug abuse. The results demonstrated that participants actively engaged in the activities, participated enthusiastically in discussions, and showed improved understanding of the dangers of drug abuse and the importance of protecting themselves from negative environmental influences. Furthermore, the program successfully fostered students' awareness and confidence to refuse drug-related invitations, report suspected cases of drug abuse, and serve as peer educators within their school community. In conclusion, this community service program was effective in enhancing students' knowledge and awareness regarding the dangers of NAPZA and contributed to the creation of a healthy, safe, and drug-free school environment through collaboration among higher education institutions, schools, and the National Narcotics Agency
