Abstract

Introduction: Postoperative care at home remains a critical challenge, particularly in community settings where patients often lack adequate knowledge and support, leading to low compliance and increased risk of complications. Community-based nursing approaches offer a strategic solution to improve patient outcomes through education and continuous monitoring. This community service program aimed to improve postoperative care compliance among patients at home by implementing the Community Nursing Model. Methods: A quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was employed involving 35 postoperative patients. The intervention included health education, wound-care demonstrations, medication management counselling, and home visits with family involvement. Data were collected using questionnaires and observation checklists, and analyzed using comparative statistical methods. Results: The findings showed a significant improvement in all measured indicators. Mean knowledge scores increased from 58.2 to 84.3, compliance scores improved from 62.4 to 81.6, and proper wound care practices rose from 54% to 88%. These results indicate enhanced patient understanding, skills, and adherence following the intervention. Conclusion: The Community Nursing Model is effective in improving postoperative care compliance in community settings. Integrating education, family support, and continuous monitoring can strengthen home-based care and reduce the risk of complications.

Abstract

Introduction: Reproductive health remains a significant public health concern, particularly in communities with limited access to accurate information and services. Health cadres play a strategic role in delivering community-based education; however, their capacity in reproductive health education is often inadequate. This program aimed to empower health cadres in reproductive health education through a community midwifery approach. Methods: A community service program was conducted using a participatory approach with a one-group pretest–posttest design. A total of 25 health cadres participated in structured training sessions facilitated by midwives. The intervention included lectures, group discussions, role-playing, and case-based learning covering adolescent reproductive health, family planning, and prevention of sexually transmitted infections. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired t-tests. Results: The findings showed a significant improvement in knowledge scores, increasing from a pretest mean of 55% to a posttest mean of 82%, indicating a 27% increase. In addition, cadres demonstrated improved communication and counseling skills during simulation sessions. The involvement of midwives contributed to a deeper understanding and the practical application of reproductive health education. Conclusion: The community midwifery approach is effective in improving the knowledge and skills of health cadres in reproductive health education. This model has the potential to strengthen community-based health promotion and should be considered for broader implementation.

Abstract

ntroduction: Stunting remains a persistent public health challenge in Indonesia, affecting child growth, cognitive development, and long-term productivity. Despite national policy efforts, gaps in implementation at the primary health care level continue to limit program effectiveness, particularly in community engagement and service utilization. This community service program aimed to strengthen the implementation of stunting prevention policies through a primary health care approach by enhancing the capacity of health workers and community health cadres, and improving household-level practices. Methods: A participatory approach was applied involving 50 participants, including health workers, cadres, and mothers of children under five. The program consisted of training sessions, nutrition education, mentoring of at-risk families, and routine growth monitoring over three months. Evaluation was conducted using pre- and post-test assessments, structured observations, and questionnaires. Results: The intervention resulted in a marked increase in knowledge scores (from 62.4 to 84.7). Appropriate feeding practices improved from 46% to 78%, while attendance at posyandu services increased from 58% to 85%. Early improvements in child growth indicators were observed, with 64% of children showing better weight-related outcomes. Conclusion: Strengthening primary health care capacity and community engagement effectively supports the implementation of stunting prevention policies. This approach demonstrates potential as a scalable model for accelerating stunting reduction in similar settings.

Abstract

Menopause is a natural stage of women’s lives that is often accompanied by physical, psychological, and metabolic changes, including increased risks of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease. This community engagement program aimed to improve menopausal women’s knowledge and awareness through integrated health education and basic screening in Kampung Beru Village, Galesong District, Takalar Regency, Indonesia. The activity involved 24 menopausal women and was conducted using lectures, discussions, pretest–posttest assessment, blood pressure measurement, blood glucose testing, anthropometric assessment, body mass index calculation, and individual counseling based on screening results. The findings showed that all participants experienced an increase in knowledge after the educational intervention, with 24 positive ranks and no negative ranks or ties. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test demonstrated a statistically significant improvement between pretest and posttest scores (Z = −3.314; p = 0.001). Participants also showed high enthusiasm and active involvement throughout the program. The activity increased understanding of menopausal health, encouraged routine health screening, and supported early identification of degenerative disease risk factors. In conclusion, community-based health education combined with simple screening is an effective approach to strengthening health literacy, promoting preventive behavior, and supporting healthier ageing among menopausal women in rural communities and primary care.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: Childbirth preparedness is an important component of maternal health care because adequate knowledge, planning, and family involvement can help pregnant women prepare physically and psychologically for childbirth. However, limited access to reliable health information and insufficient family involvement may affect women’s readiness for delivery. Digital education combined with family support provides an accessible and participatory approach to strengthening maternal knowledge and encouraging active family involvement. This community service program aimed to empower pregnant women through digital education and family support to improve their preparedness for childbirth. Methods: This community service program was conducted among pregnant women and involved their family members as key sources of support. The intervention included digital maternal health education, educational materials on childbirth preparation and danger signs, interactive discussions, family-assisted learning, and counseling. Participants’ knowledge and childbirth preparedness were assessed before and after the intervention using structured evaluation instruments. Family participation and engagement during the program were also evaluated. Results: Following the intervention, participants demonstrated improvements in knowledge related to childbirth preparation, recognition of maternal danger signs, and understanding of appropriate actions before and during labor. Family members showed greater involvement in supporting pregnant women, including participation in birth planning and preparation for maternal health needs. The program also encouraged participants to use digital health information more effectively as a source of maternal health education. Conclusion: Digital education combined with family support represents a practical community-based approach to empowering pregnant women and strengthening childbirth preparedness. Integrating accessible digital health education with active family involvement may support maternal health promotion and could be incorporated into community-based maternal health programs.

Abstract

Elderly individuals in community settings are highly vulnerable to emotional distress and psychosocial crises, such as loneliness, anxiety, and depression, yet family readiness as primary caregivers remains severely limited. This community empowerment program aimed to analyze the effect of Psychological First Aid (PFA) training on improving family knowledge and skills in providing initial psychological support for the elderly in Palipi Soreang Village, Majene Regency. A pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test approach was conducted, involving 34 families caring for elderly individuals selected through purposive sampling. The PFA training intervention incorporated Look, Listen, and Link action principles through interactive lectures, discussions, demonstrations, and role-play simulations. Data were collected using a structured knowledge questionnaire and an observational skill checklist prior to and following the intervention. The results showed a significant increase in the mean knowledge score from 19.47 (SD = 4.66) at pre-test to 35.53 (SD = 2.87) at post-test. Similarly, the mean skill score increased markedly from 23.62 (SD = 3.27) to 35.50 (SD = 3.32). Hypothesis testing showed a statistically significant improvement in knowledge using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test (Z = -5.090; p< 0.05) and in skills using the Paired Samples T-Test (t = -12.783; p < 0.05). In conclusion, PFA training is significantly effective in strengthening family capacity and readiness as an emotional support system for older adults in the community.

Abstract

Limited water availability is one of the main constraints on maize cultivation in rain-dependent agricultural areas. The 2026 Village Empowerment Program (Program Pemberdayaan Desa Binaan/PDB) in Bontolangkasa Selatan Village, Bontonompo District, Gowa Regency, implemented borewell technology and a solar-powered water pumping system for the Jiwa Baru Borong Kanang Farmer Group. The program aimed to improve access to agricultural water while strengthening the capacity of community partners to operate and maintain the technology. The implementation methods included socialization, training, technology application, mentoring and evaluation, as well as activities to strengthen program sustainability. The technology was implemented through a participatory approach involving site selection, installation, functional testing, operation, and maintenance assistance. Progress-stage results showed that the borewell system, solar panels, water pump, and distribution network had been installed and were functioning properly, enabling water to be pumped and distributed to agricultural areas. Farmer group members have begun to participate in system operation, network inspection, water distribution management, and basic maintenance. Quantitative impacts, including water discharge, irrigated land area, operating duration, and changes in productivity, have not yet been reported as final outcomes because measurements are still ongoing. The implementation indicates that integrating groundwater resources with solar energy represents a relevant initial solution for maize farming facing water scarcity. However, long-term sustainability requires stronger operator capacity, effective farmer-group governance, routine maintenance, and periodic performance evaluation.

Abstract

Seaweed farming is an important source of livelihood for coastal communities on Salemo Island; however, conventional drying practices remain constrained by limited drying space, contamination from dust and dirt, unpredictable rainfall, strong winds, and animal disturbances. This community service program aimed to empower the Reski Bersama seaweed farmer-fisher group through the application of a polycarbonate- and solar panel-based Balla Pangalloang drying house, accompanied by training in business management, marketing, and financial management. The program was implemented through preparation, socialization, technical training, managerial training, continuous mentoring, and evaluation. The Balla Pangalloang was equipped with a solar power system and supporting components to improve the drying process and product hygiene. The results showed that approximately 450 kg of seaweed could be dried within five days, about two days faster than conventional open-air drying. The drying system also improved product cleanliness by protecting seaweed from dust, dirt, rainfall, and animal interference. In addition, the partners demonstrated improved skills in production, business management, marketing, and financial administration. The program contributed to increased productivity, better product quality, improved business capacity, and higher partner income. In conclusion, the implementation of a polycarbonate- and solar panel-based Balla Pangalloang represents an appropriate community-based technological innovation for strengthening seaweed processing efficiency and supporting the economic empowerment of coastal communities on Salemo Island.
