Abstract

Menopause is a normal physiological stage that marks the end of a woman's reproductive life as a result of the gradual decline in ovarian function, leading to the permanent cessation of menstruation. During this transition, women may experience a variety of physical and psychological symptoms, including sleep disturbances, anxiety, and mood fluctuations, which can affect their overall well-being. Insufficient knowledge about menopause may contribute to fear, misconceptions, and inadequate preparedness for these changes. Therefore, improving women's understanding of menopause is essential to enhance their physical and psychological readiness for the menopausal transition. This study aimed to examine the association between knowledge about menopause and women's readiness to face menopause among women living in Kartoharjo Village, Kartoharjo District, Magetan Regency, Indonesia.  This research employed a quantitative analytical method using a cross-sectional design. The study included 58 women aged 45–49 years who were recruited through purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted between November 2025 and March 2026 using structured questionnaires assessing menopause-related knowledge and readiness for menopause. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data, and the association between the study variables was analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The findings indicated that 43.1% of the respondents had a moderate level of knowledge, representing the largest proportion of participants. Good knowledge was identified in 41.4% of respondents, whereas 15.5% demonstrated poor knowledge. Overall, 70.7% of the participants were classified as being prepared for menopause, while 29.3% were categorized as unprepared. Nearly all women with good knowledge showed adequate preparedness, whereas every respondent with poor knowledge was classified as unprepared. Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant association between menopause-related knowledge and women's readiness for the menopausal transition (p < 0.001). In conclusion, a higher level of knowledge about menopause was significantly associated with greater preparedness for the menopausal transition. These findings emphasize the importance of strengthening health education and counseling programs to improve women's physical and psychological readiness, thereby supporting a healthier adaptation to menopause

Abstract

Anemia during pregnancy can increase the risk of complications during pregnancy and childbirth. If not properly managed, anemia may have serious consequences throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, and may also pose risks to the fetus and newborn. This study aimed to determine the association between adherence to Multiple Micronutrient Supplement (MMS) consumption and increased hemoglobin levels among pregnant women.  This study employed a cross-sectional design involving all third-trimester pregnant women at Candirejo Community Health Center, Magetan, during March–April 2026. The study variables included adherence to MMS consumption and increased hemoglobin levels. Adherence was assessed using the Medication Adherence Rating Scale (MARS) questionnaire. The results of the Chi-Square test showed that most third-trimester pregnant women had good adherence to MMS consumption. Most participants also experienced an increase in hemoglobin levels after consuming MMS. The analysis demonstrated a significant association between adherence to MMS consumption and increased hemoglobin levels among pregnant women. Most pregnant women demonstrated good adherence and experienced increased hemoglobin levels after consuming MMS. Pregnant women are encouraged to maintain adherence to regular MMS consumption to minimize the risk of anemia. Support and motivation from husbands, family members, and the surrounding community are also needed to help pregnant women maintain adherence to MMS consumption. In addition, health cadres and midwives are expected to play an active role in monitoring MMS consumption and providing education on the importance of MMS supplementation during pregnancy

Abstract

This community service initiative aimed to enhance patient knowledge regarding *murottal* therapy—specifically the recitation of the Quran—as a means to reduce anxiety in patients undergoing elective Cesarean sections with spinal anesthesia at Harapan Ibu General Hospital, Purbalingga. Preoperative anxiety levels are often high, particularly among obstetric patients, driven by fears regarding pain, complications, and the surgical procedure itself. *Murottal* therapy serves as a non-pharmacological intervention that promotes relaxation and helps alleviate anxiety. The methodology involved assessing the patients' families' baseline knowledge via a pre-test questionnaire, providing education through the auditory experience of listening to the recitation of Surah Ar-Rahman, and evaluating knowledge improvement using a post-test questionnaire. The educational session took place in the hospital's Integrated Surgical Suite (IBS) preparation room, involving 30 participants selected based on specific criteria. Respondent characteristics showed a predominance of the 31–35 age group (10 respondents or 33.3%), primiparas (12 respondents or 40.0%), and those with no prior history of Cesarean section (20 respondents or 66.7%). Prior to the *murottal* therapy, 20 respondents (66.7%) experienced moderate anxiety, while 10 (33.3%) experienced severe anxiety. Following the *murottal* therapy featuring Surah Ar-Rahman, 27 respondents (90.0%) experienced mild anxiety and 3 (10.0%) experienced moderate anxiety; no instances of severe anxiety or panic remained.

Abstract

Dental and oral health are fundamental components of overall health. Therefore, they must be properly maintained and introduced from an early age. Community service plays an important role in this effort through the implementation of a Training of Trainers (TOT) program focused on dental and oral health at SD Yapita. The method involved forming health cadres by providing education, training, and evaluation. The results showed improvements in students’ understanding and behavior regarding tooth brushing, with a total of 500 individuals educated within the school environment, including students, teachers, and parents. It is expected that this initiative will help reduce the risk of dental caries in the future.

Abstract

Anemia among pregnant women remains a significant health challenge, including in the East Kotawaringin Regency area. The Community Service Program (PKM) "BATERAI BUMIL" was conducted in April 2026 within the working area of Puskesmas Baamang 2. This program aimed to enhance the knowledge and skills of pregnant women with anemia by utilizing iron-rich local food ingredients, specifically through processed spinach and egg interventions. The implementation methods included initial Hemoglobin (Hb) level screenings, interactive education regarding anemia during pregnancy, and a culinary workshop on creating healthy, innovative dishes based on spinach and eggs. This activity was attended by pregnant women diagnosed with anemia. Post-activity evaluation showed an increase in Hemoglobin (Hb) levels, improved participant understanding of balanced nutrition fulfillment, and a high acceptance rate toward the variety of processed local food menus taught. It is hoped that this program can be replicated sustainably through Posyandu (integrated health post) activities under the guidance of Puskesmas Baamang 2.

Abstract

Diarrhea caused by Escherichia coli infection remains one of the public health problems, while the use of stingless bee honey (kelulut honey) as a natural antibacterial agent is not yet widely known among the community of Teluk Kapuas Village. This community service activity aimed to improve community knowledge regarding diarrhea, Escherichia coli, diarrhea prevention, and the use of kelulut honey as a natural antibacterial agent. The activity was conducted through health education, discussions and question-and-answer sessions, as well as pre-test and post-test evaluations. A total of 40 participants attended the activity, which covered topics on diarrhea, Escherichia coli, diarrhea prevention, and the content and benefits of kelulut honey. The evaluation results showed an increase in the average percentage of correct answers from 22% in the pre-test to 95% in the post-test, representing an increase of 73%. The educational activity had a positive impact on participants’ knowledge and may support community understanding of the use of kelulut honey as a natural antibacterial agent in efforts to prevent diarrhea caused by Escherichia coli.

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding remains suboptimal in many Indonesian communities despite its critical role in infant health and development. Low maternal confidence and limited knowledge about breastfeeding techniques contribute to early formula introduction. This community service activity aimed to enhance breastfeeding self-efficacy among postpartum mothers to increase exclusive breastfeeding coverage. The intervention employed interactive education sessions, practical demonstrations with leaflet, and peer support groups facilitated by cadres. Pre- and post-intervention assessments measured changes in maternal self efficacy. Results showed a significant improvement in breastfeeding self-efficacy scores before and after giving the education. Mothers reported greater confidence in managing common breastfeeding challenges and stronger support networks. This initiative demonstrates that targeted self-efficacy education effectively addresses behavioral barriers to exclusive breastfeeding. Scaling such community-based empowerment programs through integrated maternal-child health services could substantially improve infant nutrition outcomes in similar settings.

Abstract

The school's disaster response extracurricular program is a form of community service that focuses on improving disaster preparedness, knowledge, and mitigation skills within the school environment. This program utilizes the ASIK (Active, Alert, Innovative, and Creative) method, designed to optimize students' roles not only as participants but also as agents of change in minimizing the risks and impacts of disasters. Through various structured activities, students are encouraged to be actively involved, remain alert and vigilant, dare to develop innovative ideas, and be creative in creating solutions based on local wisdom and school potential. This program prioritizes a peer group approach, where students are trained to collaborate, share information, and support each other in various activities such as preparedness training, disaster management simulations, group discussions, and the creation of creative projects related to disasters. The peer group approach has been proven to strengthen solidarity and empathy among students, improve understanding of the material through peer learning, and foster self-confidence in dealing with emergency situations. Thus, students do not merely receive information passively but also play a key role in driving change in the culture of disaster response within the school. During the program's implementation, various challenges emerged, such as varying levels of understanding among students and limited resources. However, through the application of the ASIK method, which emphasizes active participation and adapting learning strategies, these challenges were gradually overcome. Innovations in activities, such as the creation of technology-based educational media and the use of educational games, were also part of efforts to increase the program's effectiveness. Regular evaluations were conducted to ensure learning outcomes met targets and to address any deficiencies identified during implementation. The program's results demonstrated an increase in students' knowledge, skills, and attitudes toward disaster preparedness. The school community became more proactive in planning and mitigating disaster risks, and communication networks within the school community strengthened. Furthermore, a culture of mutual care was fostered, along with ongoing efforts to maintain a safe and comfortable learning environment. This extracurricular program, based on the ASIK method and through peer group activities, is expected to be replicated in other schools as a model for strengthening community capacity to respond to disasters independently and sustainably
