Abstract

Diarrhea remains a major health problem, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality rates in children, especially in developing countries like Indonesia. This disease is often linked to poor sanitation, lack of access to clean water, and a lack of public understanding of proper hygiene practices. Toddlers are the most vulnerable group to diarrhea because their immune systems are not yet fully developed. Current diarrhea management efforts rely heavily on providing oral rehydration salts (ORS) and, in some cases, the use of antibiotics. However, pharmacological approaches are not always available or appropriate in all situations. Therefore, alternative treatments are needed that are safe, readily available, and scientifically proven to be effective. One natural ingredient with significant potential for treating diarrhea is honey. Honey is known to contain various active substances such as enzymes, antioxidants, and antimicrobial compounds that can fight various pathogens that cause diarrhea. Furthermore, honey is also known to help repair the integrity of the intestinal mucosa, stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract, and accelerate the healing process. Although the health benefits of honey are well-known, public knowledge—especially among mothers—about its use as an adjunct therapy for diarrhea remains limited. Recognizing the importance of mothers' role in caring for sick children, especially during diarrhea, educational interventions are needed to improve their understanding. This educational activity aims to equip mothers with accurate, easy-to-understand information that can be applied in their daily lives. In this case, the counseling was conducted at PMB Andina Palembang using communicative media such as leaflets and accompanied by live demonstrations to increase information absorption. To measure the effectiveness of this activity, evaluations were conducted through pretests and posttests using structured questionnaires. The results obtained showed a significant increase in mothers' knowledge scores after participating in the counseling.

Abstract

Anxiety experienced by pregnant women is a common psychological problem and can have a significant negative impact on maternal health and fetal development. This anxiety can be caused by various factors, including physical changes, concerns about the delivery process, and new responsibilities as parents. Therefore, it is important to find effective ways to address this anxiety. One non-pharmacological approach that can be implemented is the use of lemon aromatherapy, which is known to have calming and relaxing properties. This activity aims to increase the knowledge and skills of pregnant women in utilizing lemon aromatherapy as a method to reduce their anxiety. This activity was held in June 2025 at PMB Lismarini, involving 20 pregnant women who actively participated in this program. The method used in this activity included several stages: education on the benefits of aromatherapy, demonstrations on how to use it, hands-on practice using lemon aromatherapy, and evaluation conducted through pre- and post-tests to measure changes in participants' anxiety levels. The results of this activity showed a significant decrease in participants' anxiety levels. Previously, many pregnant women were in the severe and moderate anxiety categories, but after participating in the activity, they shifted to mild anxiety and even no anxiety. Lemon aromatherapy has been proven effective in providing relaxation and reducing emotional tension experienced by pregnant women. Therefore, this activity is expected to become a promotional educational model in maternal health services. Through this approach, it is hoped that pregnant women will better understand and utilize aromatherapy as a way to maintain their mental health during pregnancy. Furthermore, this activity can also provide health workers with insight into the importance of non-pharmacological approaches in supporting the mental health of pregnant women.

Abstract

Anemia in pregnant women can increase the risk of bleeding during labor. Therefore, early detection is crucial for preventing potential complications and preventing anemia during pregnancy. One way to empower pregnant women in this effort is through community service activities. This community service activity is a collaboration between STIKes Mitra Husada Medan and a practice in Bangun Rejo Village, Tanjung Morawa. Anemia can affect pregnant women at various stages of pregnancy. Therefore, this community service program is implemented in the form of a pregnancy class aimed at preventing and early detection of anemia. The target group includes pregnant women in their first, second, and third trimesters, with the hope of increasing their knowledge about anemia, thus creating physically and emotionally healthy mothers-to-be. The results of the community service program indicate positive changes following the community service, including an increased understanding of the symptoms of anemia, preventive measures, and active participation in early detection of anemia during pregnancy.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to develop and implement an application called APTAQU, designed to assist students with disabilities, especially those with hearing impairments, at Pesantren Tunarungu ABATA Temanggung in learning the interpretation of the Qur'an (tafsir). This application is developed to address the specific needs of hearing-impaired students, allowing them to access Qur'anic interpretation learning independently and effectively. The research employs a qualitative method, involving students and pesantren mentors actively in each stage, including planning, training, evaluation, and refinement of the application, to ensure that it meets the needs and abilities of the users. The application development process involves direct input from students and mentors, ensuring that the resulting application is truly relevant to their needs. During the development and implementation phases, students were trained to optimize the use of the application. The results of this community service show that the APTAQU application can improve accessibility for hearing-impaired students in understanding the interpretation of the Qur'an, an area that had previously been a major barrier in their learning. Interactive features such as sign language, audio-visual content, screen readers, and voice instructions have proven to help overcome communication barriers present in conventional media that were not inclusive. Moreover, the use of this application has also increased the involvement of students in religious education, particularly in understanding the Qur'anic interpretation. They are now more actively engaged in the learning process and can better comprehend the tafsir material. However, the application still requires further development to become more inclusive and user-friendly for all students, both with and without disabilities. This research contributes significantly to creating a more inclusive and accessible education for people with disabilities, especially in religious education, and serves as a starting point for addressing educational access disparities for them.

Abstract

Neonatal jaundice is a common health problem in newborns, characterized by yellow discoloration of the skin and sclera due to increased bilirubin levels in the blood. This condition, if not detected and treated properly, can lead to serious complications such as kernicterus, which can lead to long-term neurological developmental disorders. Risk factors contributing to jaundice include suboptimal breastfeeding practices, delayed initiation of breastfeeding, and low birth weight. Adequate breastfeeding from an early age plays a crucial role in accelerating the excretion of bilirubin through feces, while monitoring birth weight can help identify infants at risk of hyperbilirubinemia. This outreach activity aims to increase mothers' and families' knowledge about the importance of early and exclusive breastfeeding, as well as monitoring birth weight as a preventive measure for neonatal jaundice. The activity was conducted at Andi Makkasau Regional Hospital using lectures, interactive discussions, and the use of educational media such as leaflets and posters. The training materials covered the definition, risk factors, signs and symptoms of jaundice, early detection procedures, the benefits of breastfeeding in preventing jaundice, and the importance of recording and monitoring infant weight. The activity was evaluated through pre- and post-tests to gauge participants' understanding. The evaluation results showed a significant increase in participants' knowledge, particularly regarding the relationship between delayed breastfeeding, low birth weight, and an increased risk of neonatal jaundice. Furthermore, participants gained a better understanding of home-based measures to detect early symptoms and when to immediately take their baby to a health facility.

Abstract

Mathematics learning, particularly in geometry, is often perceived as abstract and less engaging by students, leading to reduced interest and creativity. One of the geometry topics that demands a more creative and concrete approach is the tessellation of flat shapes, which emphasizes the understanding of patterns, symmetry, and regularity of shapes. The absence of contextual learning media has contributed to students’ low enthusiasm and limited ability to apply concepts in real-life contexts. This community service activity was designed to address these challenges by enhancing students’ creativity and conceptual understanding through the use of ceramic media as an innovative and enjoyable learning tool. The program was conducted at SD Negeri 1 Rowosari, Tembalang District, Semarang City, involving mathematics teachers, elementary school students, and university students. The implementation method included training and mentoring sessions. Activities encompassed the introduction of tessellation concepts, hands-on demonstrations, and the guided creation of tessellation patterns using ceramic media. Participants consisted of teachers and students who actively engaged in both theoretical and practical sessions. Evaluation was conducted through pre-test and post-test questionnaires administered before and after the training. The results revealed a significant improvement in students’ average scores after the activity. Pre-test data showed that approximately half of the students scored above the average, with two students achieving nearly perfect scores. Post-test results indicated that most students demonstrated increased understanding and creativity in applying tessellation concepts. Nevertheless, a small number of students still required further guidance, particularly in translating abstract tessellation concepts into real-life applications. Overall, the findings suggest that integrating ceramic media into mathematics learning is effective in making abstract geometry concepts more tangible, stimulating students’ creativity, and improving learning outcomes, especially in the topic of tessellation of flat shapes.

Abstract

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is an important component in creating healthy living habits, especially in elementary school children. Education about PHBS needs to be instilled from an early age to form a sustainable healthy lifestyle. This study aims to determine the effect of interactive education on improving the understanding of second-grade students at Dharma Loka Elementary School Pekanbaru regarding PHBS. In this study, 50 students were involved using a pre-experimental design through the One Group Pretest-Posttest Design method. The educational intervention was carried out using interactive instructional games such as snakes and ladders, animated films, and PowerPoint presentations. The results showed an increase in students' understanding of PHBS after the intervention. The average score of students in the initial test was 93.2, while after the intervention, the average score increased to 100, with an increase of 6.8 points. This indicates that interactive learning has a positive impact on students' understanding of PHBS. Learning that involves teaching aids and games is proven to be more interesting for elementary school students, making them more active in the learning process. Interactive education not only improves students' understanding but also encourages them to apply PHBS more in their daily lives. The use of media such as games, animated films, and PowerPoint presentations facilitates a more comprehensive and enjoyable understanding. Therefore, this approach can be an effective strategy for teaching children healthy lifestyles, while providing a fun and rewarding learning experience. This interactive education also provides students with the opportunity to learn in a more enjoyable and less boring way. Through the snakes and ladders game, students can learn the concept of healthy living (PHBS) directly in a lighter and more entertaining way. Animated films and PowerPoint presentations add variety to the learning method, making the information conveyed more easily by students.

Abstract

The Triple Elimination Program is an important initiative to prevent the transmission of HIV, Hepatitis B, and Syphilis from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. The goal of this program is to improve the well-being of mothers and babies, while reducing the transmission rate of these diseases that can endanger the health of both. This community service activity was carried out in Sungai Maram Village, Sintang, on July 16, 2025. The main target of this activity was 40 pregnant women, who were the objects of the infectious disease education and prevention program. To ensure the effectiveness of this activity, participant knowledge was measured using a pretest and posttest method. The pretest was conducted before the material was delivered to determine the participants' initial level of knowledge, while the posttest was conducted after the material was delivered to measure the extent of the participants' understanding of the information that had been presented. The material presented in this activity covered the three main diseases that are the focus of Triple Elimination, namely HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B. In addition, participants were also provided with information on ways to prevent transmission of these diseases during pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. In addition, participants were taught the importance of regular checkups, proper medication use, and steps to protect the health of mothers and babies. The results of this activity are expected to raise awareness among pregnant women about the importance of preventing infectious diseases and provide useful information to maintain their health and that of their unborn babies. Thus, this program not only prevents disease transmission but also contributes to the overall well-being of the community. Furthermore, this activity also aims to strengthen community participation in preventing the transmission of HIV, Hepatitis B, and Syphilis.
