Abstract

Pregnancy, particularly in the third trimester, is a critical phase where women often experience increased anxiety, stress, and emotional changes due to physical discomfort and anticipation of childbirth. The role of husbands as primary companions during this stage is essential to provide psychological support and strengthen maternal mental health. This community service program aimed to increase husbands’ involvement in supporting their wives through structured childbirth preparation education. The program was conducted using participatory methods, including counselling sessions, interactive discussions, and practical demonstrations that involved both pregnant women and their husbands. Educational materials covered topics such as recognising emotional changes, stress management, effective communication, relaxation techniques, and preparation for public speaking. The results showed that husbands who participated in the program demonstrated improved understanding of maternal needs, enhanced empathy, and greater readiness to provide emotional and physical support. Pregnant women reported feeling more secure, valued, and less anxious when their husbands actively engaged in the preparation process. This initiative highlights the importance of involving partners not only in physical readiness for childbirth but also in strengthening mental resilience. In conclusion, childbirth preparation education for husbands is an effective strategy to foster supportive family environments, reduce maternal stress, and promote healthier maternal mental well-being during the third trimester of pregnancy. This approach is recommended as a sustainable community-based intervention to improve maternal health outcomes.

Abstract

Stunting remains a significant public health issue that affects children’s growth and development, with long-term consequences for cognitive capacity, productivity, and overall quality of life. One effective strategy to overcome this issue is through the empowerment of health cadres as the frontline in early detection and family-based prevention efforts. This community service program aims to enhance the role and capacity of health cadres in identifying risk factors, conducting routine monitoring, and implementing preventive measures to address stunting within families. The method applied includes training, mentoring, and participatory workshops, focusing on knowledge improvement and practical skills related to nutrition, growth monitoring, and family education. Health cadres are also equipped with communication skills to enhance awareness and behavior change among parents, thereby fostering a supportive environment for children’s optimal growth. The results show increased knowledge and confidence of cadres in identifying early signs of stunting, as well as improved community participation in monitoring children’s nutritional status. Furthermore, family engagement in preventive practices, such as providing a balanced diet and maintaining hygiene, demonstrated a significant enhancement. This initiative demonstrates that empowering health cadres not only enhances early detection but also promotes sustainable, family-based stunting prevention. Therefore, community-based health empowerment is a strategic approach that can contribute substantially to reducing stunting prevalence and improving child health outcomes in the long term.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health problem in developing countries, particularly among toddlers, as it affects physical growth, cognitive development, and future productivity. Nutritional management plays a crucial role in overcoming stunting, but parents often face challenges in providing adequate dietary intake due to limited knowledge, economic constraints, and lack of guidance. This community service program (PKM) aimed to strengthen parental involvement in managing toddler nutrition through structured home care nursing visits. The program was implemented with a participatory approach involving nurses, parents, and community health cadres. Home visits included nutritional assessments, individualized counseling, monitoring of toddler growth, and education on balanced diet preparation using locally available food resources. Nurses also provided practical demonstrations on menu planning and food processing to ensure nutrient adequacy. The evaluation showed improvements in parents’ knowledge and skills regarding child nutrition, with increased awareness of growth monitoring and the importance of dietary diversity. Furthermore, parents reported higher confidence in applying nutritional practices at home. These outcomes highlight that home care nursing visits can be an effective strategy to support parental roles in addressing stunting, particularly in low-resource settings. Strengthening family-centered care and promoting community engagement are essential to ensure the sustainability of nutritional improvements. This program demonstrates that empowering parents through direct home-based interventions can significantly contribute to reducing stunting prevalence and improving child health outcomes

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health issue that threatens the quality of human resources, particularly in developing countries. One of the critical periods to prevent stunting is the First 1000 Days of Life (HPK), starting from conception until a child reaches two years old. This community service program aimed to optimize the role of community midwives in providing maternal nutrition education for pregnant women as an effort to reduce stunting prevalence. The method employed was participatory action through training, counseling sessions, and the development of educational media tailored to local cultural contexts. Community midwives were equipped with up-to-date knowledge and skills regarding balanced nutrition, micronutrient supplementation, and strategies to increase family awareness about food diversity. Counseling activities were carried out in small groups with interactive discussions, supported by leaflets and visual aids to facilitate better understanding. The results indicated an improvement in the knowledge and attitudes of both midwives and pregnant women. Midwives demonstrated greater confidence in delivering nutritional education, while pregnant women showed increased awareness of the importance of protein, iron, folic acid, and other essential nutrients for fetal growth. Furthermore, family involvement in supporting pregnant women’s dietary practices became more evident. This program highlights that empowering community midwives as local health educators can be a strategic approach to break the intergenerational cycle of malnutrition. Strengthening collaboration among health workers, local governments, and community leaders is essential to sustain the impact and ensure long-term stunting prevention efforts

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health problem that threatens child growth and long-term human development, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Family nutrition literacy plays a critical role in shaping feeding practices, health-seeking behavior, and early detection of growth problems among toddlers. This community service program aimed to strengthen family nutrition literacy through a community nursing based approach to support stunting prevention among toddlers. The program was implemented using a community-based method involving five stages: socialization, training, application of technology, mentoring and evaluation, and program sustainability. Activities were conducted with 30 families who had toddlers, supported by community nurses and health cadres. Training focused on balanced nutrition, appropriate complementary feeding, dietary diversity using local food sources, food hygiene, and interpretation of growth monitoring results. Simple digital educational media and mobile communication were used to reinforce learning and follow-up. Mentoring was provided through home visits and counseling sessions to support behavior change. The results showed improvements in family nutrition literacy, indicated by a reduction in low literacy levels and an increase in good literacy levels after the intervention. Positive changes were also observed in feeding practices and compliance with regular toddler growth monitoring. These findings indicate that strengthening family nutrition literacy through community nursing is an effective strategy to enhance family capacity in stunting prevention. Integrating education, mentoring, and appropriate technology within routine community nursing services can contribute to sustainable improvements in child nutrition practices. This approach has the potential to support long-term stunting reduction by empowering families as active agents in child health and nutrition care

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health challenge that threatens child growth and long-term human development, particularly among vulnerable families. Family-based interventions are essential to address the behavioral and environmental determinants of stunting that occur at the household level. This community service program aimed to strengthen family capacity in preventing stunting among children at risk through family-based home care assistance focusing on nutrition interventions and healthy parenting practices. The program was implemented using a structured and participatory approach consisting of five stages: socialization, training, application of appropriate technology, mentoring and evaluation, and program sustainability. Activities were conducted with families who had children at risk of stunting and were supported by community nurses and health cadres. Training emphasized balanced nutrition, age-appropriate feeding practices, dietary diversity using locally available foods, hygiene and sanitation, healthy parenting, and child growth monitoring. Simple digital educational media and mobile-based communication were used to reinforce learning and facilitate follow-up. Mentoring was carried out through regular home visits to provide individualized guidance and support behavior change. The results showed improvements in caregiver knowledge, feeding practices, healthy parenting behaviors, compliance with child growth monitoring, and utilization of simple technology after program implementation. These findings indicate that family-based home care assistance is a feasible and effective approach to strengthening family capacity for stunting prevention. Integrating nutrition education, healthy parenting support, appropriate technology, and continuous mentoring within community-based services can contribute to sustainable improvements in child nutrition practices and support long-term efforts to reduce stunting at the community level.

Abstract

Cataract remains one of the leading causes of avoidable visual impairment among older adults, particularly in community and rural settings where awareness and access to eye health services are limited. Low levels of knowledge, misconceptions that cataract is a normal and untreatable part of aging, and delayed health-seeking behaviour contribute to late diagnosis and preventable blindness. This community service program aimed to improve knowledge, awareness, and preventive behaviour regarding cataract among older adults through a community-based educational intervention using a field visit approach. The program was conducted in a selected community and involved older adult participants recruited with the support of local leaders. Activities were conducted in a single-day session and included structured health education on cataract, interactive discussions, basic health assessments, and free eye examinations. Educational materials covered the definition of cataract, risk factors such as smoking, ultraviolet exposure, and chronic diseases, early signs and symptoms, preventive measures, and available treatment options. The interactive discussion allowed participants to clarify misconceptions and relate the information to their personal experiences. The results showed a clear improvement in participants’ knowledge levels after the intervention, with a marked shift from low to moderate and reasonable knowledge categories. Participants also demonstrated increased awareness of the importance of early detection and regular eye examinations. The integration of education with basic health and eye screening enhanced participant engagement and reinforced the relevance of eye health within overall healthy aging. This program demonstrates that community-based cataract education using a field visit approach is a practical and effective strategy to strengthen eye health literacy among older adults and supports efforts to prevent avoidable visual impairment at the community level

Abstract

Stunting remains a significant public health issue in Indonesia, closely linked to chronic undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies during the first 1,000 days of life. Limited community knowledge regarding the rational use of nutritional supplements and micronutrients contributes to inappropriate practices that reduce the effectiveness of stunting prevention programs. This community service program aimed to improve community knowledge and awareness of appropriate nutritional supplement use through pharmacist-led education. The program was conducted using a structured, participatory approach consisting of situational analysis, educational material development, community education implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and follow-up activities. Clinical pharmacists delivered educational sessions through interactive lectures and discussions involving mothers, caregivers, and community health volunteers. Program evaluation was conducted using pre- and post-education assessments to measure changes in knowledge related to the roles of micronutrients, correct dosage and administration, safety considerations, and the complementary role of supplements in balanced nutrition. The results showed a clear improvement in participants’ knowledge across all assessed indicators following the intervention. Participants demonstrated a better understanding of the importance of micronutrients for child growth, appropriate supplement use, and safety aspects, as well as increased awareness that supplements should support, rather than replace, balanced diets. These findings suggest that pharmacist-led community education is an effective strategy for strengthening stunting prevention efforts through the rational use of nutritional supplements.

Abstract

Treatment adherence remains a major challenge in the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), particularly in community and primary health care settings. In Makassar, Indonesia, inadequate patient knowledge, negative attitudes toward long-term therapy, and fragmented health education contribute to suboptimal adherence and increase the risk of diabetes-related complications. This community service program aimed to improve treatment adherence among patients with T2DM through an integrated education approach. The program was implemented using a structured, participatory method involving five stages: situational analysis and coordination, participant recruitment and baseline assessment, integrated education intervention, mentoring and reinforcement, and evaluation and reflection. A total of 30 adult patients with T2DM participated in the program. Educational activities were delivered through interactive lectures, group discussions, practical demonstrations, and individualized counseling, focusing on medication adherence, dosage and administration, nutritional support, supplement safety, and the role of micronutrients in diabetes management. Program effectiveness was evaluated using pre- and post-intervention assessments of participants’ knowledge and adherence-related understanding. The results demonstrated a substantial improvement in knowledge across all assessed domains following the intervention. These findings indicate that integrated education is an effective strategy for strengthening patient understanding and supporting improved treatment adherence among individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus at the community level
