Abstract

Nutritional problems among elementary school-aged children remain a critical public health issue in Indonesia. A lack of family understanding regarding the importance of balanced nutrition is one of the key contributing factors to the high rates of stunting and malnutrition. This community service activity aims to improve family awareness of children's nutrition through an educational approach tailored to the families’ social, economic, and cultural characteristics. The program was conducted at SD Inpres Laikang, involving 60 families. The methods included identification of family characteristics, focus group discussions (FGDs), interactive lectures, and pre-and post-test evaluations. The results showed an improvement in nutritional understanding among 87% of participants, along with healthier dietary behavior changes at home. This approach adapts the principles of the Harvard Public Health Nutrition Model, which views the family as a systemic unit in shaping children's eating habits. Education based on family characteristics has proven effective and relevant in supporting sustainable nutrition literacy improvement.

Abstract

The patient, MA, a 2-year-4-month-old boy, was brought by his mother to Simpang Keuramat Primary Health Center with complaints of itchy scalp for the past 4 months. On the itchy area, white scales were observed. Initially, it was only itching, but two weeks later, the parents noticed white patches on the scalp that became thicker and more scaly. The itching was intermittent and worsened with sweating. At first, only a few hairs were broken, but over time it progressed into a round area of hair loss with well-defined borders. The patient bathes twice daily and shampoos every other day. Towels, pillows, and combs used by the patient were not shared with other family members. According to the patient's parents, the child often plays with stray cats around the house. Primary data were obtained through allo-anamnesis, physical examination, home visits, completion of the family folder, and patient records. Assessment was conducted based on the initial holistic diagnosis, process, and outcome of the visits, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Interventions included educating the patient about the causes of tinea capitis, emphasizing the importance of skin hygiene, and explaining that the disease is highly contagious. Therefore, patients were advised to avoid sharing clothing and towels with family members as a preventive measure against transmission.

Abstract

Gout arthritis is an inflammatory joint condition that causes severe pain and impacts the patient's quality of life. Joint pain management involves more than just pharmacological therapy using medications; it also requires non-pharmacological approaches. The goal of this community service activity is to improve the knowledge and skills of gout arthritis sufferers in managing joint pain using various non-pharmacological therapy modalities. The results of the community service program indicate an increase in knowledge about non-pharmacological management of joint pain in gout arthritis patients. Non-pharmacological therapy education is an effective way to help people with gouty arthritis manage their joint pain. The significant increase in knowledge following the intervention demonstrates the importance of ongoing education and hands-on demonstrations. The next step is to increase the scope of education and support for the implementation of non-pharmacological therapies in various communities to ensure sustainability.

Abstract

Introduction: Periodontal tissue is a supporting and protective tissue of the teeth consisting of gingiva, periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone. One type of periodontal disease is gingival enlargement. The main factor that causes this disease is bacterial plaque, so gingivectomy treatment is needed. Gingivectomy is a procedure to cut excess gingival tissue with the aim of eliminating pockets and gingival inflammation, so that good physiological, functional and aesthetic gingiva is obtained. Case: A 19-year-old male presented to Soelastri Dental and Oral Hospital with complaints of gingival enlargement, which had been occurring for the past six months, primarily affecting the upper right posterior and lower anterior gingiva. The patient reported no history of systemic illness and no known allergies to medications or food. Clinically, the gingiva appeared enlarged, soft in consistency, reddish in color, with blunted gingival margins. Periodontal pocket depths were recorded as follows: tooth 32 : 433, 31 : 423, 41 : 323 and 42 : 333. A diagnosis of gingival enlargement was established.. Management: The initial treatment consisted of scaling and root planing. However, no significant improvement was observed at the 7-day follow-up. Consequently, gingivectomy was performed on teeth 32, 31, 41, and 42. A follow-up evaluation was conducted 10 days post-operatively. Intraoral examination revealed periodontal pocket depths of 31 (2-1-1), 32 (2-1-2), 41 (2-1-2), and 42 (2-1-2). The patient demonstrated good oral hygiene, with a marked reduction in gingival enlargement. Nonetheless, mild edema and erythema persisted on the labial aspect of teeth 41 and 42. Conclusion : Gingival enlargement is an inflammation that occurs in the gingiva due to local factors, namely plaque bacteria. Treatment of gingival enlargement that does not shrink after scaling, root planing, must be performed gingivectomy so that good morphology and aesthetics are obtained.

Abstract

Infant growth and development are crucial issues that require serious attention, particularly during the early childhood phase, which is crucial for a child's future development. The golden age of infants is the most sensitive period to various forms of stimulation that influence their motor, sensory, cognitive, and emotional development. However, not all parents, especially mothers, fully understand the importance of appropriate and safe stimulation in supporting infant growth and development. One form of stimulation that is relatively easy to perform, has no side effects, and can be applied independently at home is gentle touch therapy. Gentle Touch Therapy is a complementary therapy method that involves gentle, affectionate touch on the baby's body, aimed at stimulating the nervous system, strengthening the emotional bond between mother and child, and increasing comfort and relaxation in the baby. Several studies have shown that this gentle touch can improve sleep quality, accelerate weight gain, relieve stress, and encourage infant neuromotor and socio-emotional development. This community service activity was carried out as an effort to increase mothers' awareness and skills in providing stimulation through gentle touch. The activity was carried out at the Andina Independent Midwife Practice (PMB), Palembang City, in June 2025. The main target of this activity was mothers with babies aged 0–12 months. The implementation method included providing education through interactive lectures, demonstrations of touch therapy techniques by health professionals, and direct practice by mothers accompanied by facilitators. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in mothers' understanding of the importance of growth and development stimulation, especially through gentle touch therapy. The participants showed high enthusiasm in participating in the activity and were able to practice gentle touch techniques correctly and confidently.

Abstract

Anemia is a common health problem among adolescent girls, especially in developing countries like Indonesia. This condition is generally caused by insufficient iron intake, an unbalanced diet, and increased iron requirements during growth. Anemia not only impacts physical health but also affects concentration, productivity, and quality of life. Therefore, interventions based on nutrition education and the utilization of local food sources are crucial in sustainable anemia prevention efforts. One potential complementary therapy alternative is the consumption of herbal drinks based on moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera). Moringa leaves are known to be rich in iron, vitamin A, and antioxidants that play a role in red blood cell formation. This community service activity aims to increase the knowledge and skills of adolescent girls in utilizing moringa leaves as a natural source of iron. The target group is grade 10 and 11 female students at SMA Sejahtera Palembang, which was held in June 2025. The activity methods included a nutrition lecture on anemia and the importance of iron, an interactive discussion on the benefits of moringa leaves, and hands-on practice in making herbal moringa drinks (such as moringa leaf tea and moringa juice). The material was delivered using a communicative and participatory approach to actively engage participants. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' understanding of the causes of anemia, the benefits of moringa leaves, and their willingness to consume herbal drinks as a preventative measure. Most participants also expressed interest in trying to make their own moringa herbal drink at home. This activity is expected to become part of school-based promotional and preventive efforts to address anemia in adolescent girls.

Abstract

Background: Anxiety before childbirth is a psychological disorder often experienced by pregnant women, especially in the third trimester of pregnancy. Fear of pain, worry about the condition of the fetus, and uncertainty about the delivery process are the main triggering factors. If not handled properly, this anxiety can have serious consequences, such as increased stress hormones (cortisol), sleep disorders, high blood pressure, and even labor complications. Therefore, interventions are needed that not only focus on physical aspects, but also support mental and emotional balance. Objective: The purpose of this activity is to provide education and practical training to pregnant women on anxiety management before childbirth through the application of complementary therapies, and to evaluate the effectiveness of this approach in increasing the readiness and calmness of participants. Method: The activity was carried out at PMB Lismarini, Tulungagung, involving 20 pregnant women in their third trimester. Education was carried out interactively using visual media and group discussions. Next, participants participated in the practice of three types of complementary therapies: (1) deep breathing relaxation with diaphragmatic breathing techniques, (2) aromatherapy using lavender as a relaxation agent, and (3) classical music with a slow rhythm played during the session. Results: This activity showed positive results. Eighty-five percent of participants experienced an increase in knowledge scores after the educational session, and 60% showed a significant decrease in anxiety levels based on questionnaire results. Most participants also reported feeling calmer, more prepared, and more confident in facing childbirth. The satisfaction rate with the activity reached 90%, indicating that the methods implemented were well-received by participants. Conclusion: Complementary therapy combined with education is effective in helping pregnant women manage anxiety before childbirth. This activity emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to antenatal care.

Abstract

Background: Anemia during pregnancy remains a major public health concern in Indonesia, contributing to increased maternal and fetal morbidity. Iron supplementation often faces challenges in compliance and side effects, prompting the need for natural alternatives. Natural honey has been shown to help increase hemoglobin levels due to its iron, folate, and antioxidant content. Objective: This community service aimed to educate pregnant women on the benefits and utilization of natural honey as a complementary strategy to prevent anemia. Method: The activity was conducted at PMB CH Mala in Palembang City using health education sessions, demonstrations, and distribution of printed educational materials. Participants' knowledge and hemoglobin levels were assessed pre- and post-intervention using a questionnaire and digital hemoglobinometer. The intervention lasted for 2 weeks, with honey consumption recommended at 2 tablespoons daily. Results: There was a notable improvement in participants' knowledge about anemia and the role of honey. Preliminary observations also showed a slight increase in hemoglobin levels among pregnant women who regularly consumed honey during the intervention period. Conclusion: Educational intervention on the use of natural honey proved effective in improving knowledge and potentially supporting anemia prevention among pregnant women. Further studies are recommended to evaluate long-term outcomes and larger-scale implementation.

Abstract

Sleep disturbances are a common complaint among postpartum mothers, and this condition can affect the physical and psychological recovery process after childbirth. Untreated sleep disturbances can lead to various problems, such as fatigue, decreased quality of life, and even the risk of mental health disorders such as postpartum depression. One non-pharmacological approach that can be used to address these sleep disturbances is lavender aromatherapy. Lavender aromatherapy is known to have a calming effect that can help improve sleep quality. This community service activity aims to increase postpartum mothers' knowledge about the use of lavender aromatherapy as a complementary therapy to address their sleep problems. The activity was conducted in June 2025 at the Lismarini Independent Midwife Practice (PMB), using methods that included education, discussion, and distribution of informative leaflets. A total of 15 postpartum mothers participated in this activity, and to measure their knowledge, pre- and post-tests were conducted before and after the education session. The evaluation results showed a significant increase in participants' knowledge levels after participating in the education about lavender aromatherapy. Education about the use of lavender aromatherapy has been proven effective in increasing postpartum mothers' understanding of the benefits and how to use this therapy. Thus, lavender aromatherapy can be a beneficial health promotion strategy to support postpartum recovery. Through this activity, it is hoped that postpartum mothers can apply the knowledge gained to independently improve their sleep quality, thereby supporting their physical and mental health during the recovery period. This activity also contributes to efforts to improve overall public health and provides new insights for healthcare workers in educating postpartum mothers about safe and effective alternative therapies.
