Abstract

Background: Stunting remains an important public health concern because it can adversely affect children's physical growth, cognitive development, and future quality of life. Family involvement and the active participation of community health cadres are essential for improving nutritional practices and ensuring regular monitoring of toddler growth and development. Objective: This community empowerment program aimed to improve the knowledge and practical capacity of families and health cadres in preventing stunting through nutrition education and assistance in monitoring toddler growth and development. Methods: The program was implemented using a participatory approach involving families with toddlers and community health cadres. Activities included nutrition education, counseling on balanced diets and appropriate complementary feeding, demonstrations of child growth measurement, developmental monitoring, and individualized assistance. Participants' knowledge was assessed before and after the educational sessions using structured questionnaires. Growth monitoring included measurements of body weight and height/length, while developmental assistance emphasized age-appropriate stimulation and early identification of developmental concerns. Results: The program showed an improvement in participants' knowledge regarding stunting prevention, balanced nutrition, appropriate feeding practices, and growth monitoring. Families demonstrated greater awareness of the importance of regular growth and development monitoring and appropriate nutritional practices. Health cadres also showed improved capacity to provide nutrition education, conduct basic anthropometric monitoring, identify children at risk of growth problems, and encourage families to utilize community-based health services regularly. Conclusion: Nutrition education combined with family assistance and strengthened health cadre capacity is a practical community-based strategy for supporting stunting prevention. Continuous mentoring and regular growth and development monitoring are recommended to sustain behavioral improvements and facilitate early detection of nutritional and developmental problems.

Abstract

Background: Cyberbullying has emerged as an important challenge among adolescents and may negatively affect their psychological well-being. Conventional health education approaches may be less engaging for adolescents, particularly in rural settings with limited access to mental health promotion programs. Interactive storytelling offers a participatory approach that combines narratives, role-play, discussion, and reflection to strengthen adolescents’ understanding and responses to cyberbullying. This community service program aimed to improve adolescents’ knowledge, attitudes, empathy, and practical skills related to cyberbullying prevention and mental health promotion through interactive storytelling. Methods: The program was conducted among 15 high school students in Bissolorro Village, Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi. The intervention included mental health and cyberbullying education, interactive storytelling, role-play, group discussions, simulations, and reflection. Knowledge was assessed using pre- and post-tests, while attitudes, empathy, and practical skills were evaluated through reflection sheets and facilitator observations. Results: The mean knowledge score increased from 52.0 before the intervention to 84.1 after the intervention, representing a 32.1-point improvement. Positive attitudes were also observed: 93.3% of participants rejected cyberbullying, while 96.7% expressed willingness to support victims. All groups successfully identified cyberbullying scenarios, and 80% demonstrated appropriate response strategies and assertive communication skills. Conclusion: Interactive storytelling was an engaging and participatory approach for improving adolescents’ knowledge, attitudes, empathy, and practical skills related to mental health promotion and cyberbullying prevention. The approach has potential for continued implementation in school-based health promotion programs.

Abstract

Background: Mental health problems among university students may affect academic achievement, social relationships, and overall well-being. Limited mental health literacy, stigma, and reluctance to seek professional help highlight the need for accessible campus-based mental health promotion. Peer education provides a participatory strategy by empowering students to disseminate information and encourage supportive behaviors among their peers. This program aimed to empower students as peer educators in promoting mental health and strengthening peer support within the campus environment. Methods: A community-based educational intervention was conducted among 60 students at STIKES Amanah Makassar, Indonesia. The program consisted of mental health education, peer educator training, interactive discussions, case-based learning, role-play, and supportive communication practice. Training materials covered basic mental health concepts, recognition of psychological distress, stigma reduction, supportive communication, help-seeking behaviors, and referral to appropriate professional services. Participants’ knowledge and readiness to act as peer educators were evaluated before and after the intervention. Results: The intervention improved participants’ understanding of mental health, recognition of psychological distress, and awareness of appropriate help-seeking pathways. Participants also demonstrated greater confidence in communicating mental health information, providing basic peer support, and encouraging peers to seek professional assistance when necessary. Interactive learning and role-play strengthened participants’ engagement and readiness to perform their roles as peer educators. Conclusion: Empowering students as peer educators is a feasible approach to strengthening mental health literacy, supportive communication, and help-seeking awareness on campus. Continuous training, supervision, and integration with institutional student support services are recommended to ensure program sustainability.

Abstract

Background: Flood-related disruptions can undermine the continuity of community-based nutrition services, particularly child growth monitoring, nutrition education, and caregiver participation in integrated health posts (Posyandu). Strengthening community engagement and local service capacity is essential for restoring these services in disaster-affected areas. Objective: To describe the implementation and documented outcomes of the “Posyandu Rasa Pesta” community empowerment program in revitalizing post-flood nutrition services in Sipirok, Indonesia. Methods: A descriptive community engagement approach was implemented at Posyandu Kenanga 1, Sipirok, North Sumatra, Indonesia. The program integrated cadre capacity strengthening, family-centred service activities, nutrition education, promotion of locally sourced supplementary foods, and improved service documentation. Pre-test and post-test assessments involving 33 respondents evaluated social empowerment/service quality and management capacity. Data were analysed descriptively using mean percentage scores and percentage-point differences. Monthly Posyandu records from June to October 2026 were also reviewed. Results: Social empowerment/service quality scores increased from 40% at pre-test to 75% at post-test, representing a 35-percentage-point improvement. Management capacity scores increased from 35% to 75%, representing a 40-percentage-point improvement. Monthly records consistently listed 33 children under five across five reporting periods. Educational materials and practical service guidelines were also documented as program outputs. Conclusion: The “Posyandu Rasa Pesta” program was associated with improvements in assessed empowerment and management scores and produced practical resources for community-based nutrition service revitalization. However, the descriptive design does not establish causal effectiveness or improvements in child nutritional status. Further evaluation is needed to assess service continuity and sustainability.

Abstract

Background: Low birth weight (LBW) remains a maternal and newborn health concern requiring continuity of care throughout pregnancy and after childbirth. Gaps between antenatal risk detection and follow-up may undermine coordinated care. Objective: To assess antenatal care responses to maternal risk factors and develop recommendations supporting LBW prevention at Kulisusu Primary Health Center, Indonesia. Methods: A descriptive, collaborative field assessment was conducted on 23–30 September 2026 through program record reviews and semi-structured interviews with six informants representing healthcare personnel, community volunteers, and mothers. Records covered 25 LBW infants born in 2025 and 17 born during January–August 2026. Descriptive statistics and thematic analysis using a Five Lenses framework informed proposed action priorities. Results: Antenatal screening, education, iron supplementation, and referral services were available. Among mothers of LBW infants, the last recorded hemoglobin level was below 11 g/dL in 47.8% in 2025 and 56.3% in 2026. However, risk detection dates, missed appointments, tracing outcomes, referral completion, and maternal–newborn care linkages were not consistently documented. Reported barriers included stigma, nausea, mobility, and dispersed follow-up responsibilities. Proposed actions included an at-risk maternal register, missed-appointment tracking, referral feedback, and linked maternal–newborn records. Conclusion: The assessment identified documentation and coordination gaps and generated phased recommendations for strengthening care continuity. Implementation and outcome evaluation are required before effectiveness can be established.
