Abstract

Hypertension is a condition of increased systolic and diastolic blood pressure that exceeds normal limits. The Silent Killer is another name for hypertension because hypertension is a disease that can be without signs and symptoms. Hypertension sufferers in the world according to WHO reach 1.28 billion adults. This disease, which can cause various complications, needs strategic efforts to overcome it. Community service by providing knowledge to the community about hypertension and yoga exercises as a form of physical activity training is an alternative chosen to increase public understanding of the dangers of hypertension and how to prevent and control it. Community service carried out in Sambiroto Sindon Boyolali village was attended by 26 local residents, both people with hypertension and those at risk of hypertension. After the community service was carried out, the level of community knowledge about hypertension increased as evidenced by the community's ability to answer the questions given. Behavior change will be realized along with the increase in the level of public knowledge so that it can reduce the high number of people with hypertension.

Abstract

The results of community service activities at SMA Muhammadiyah PK Kottabarat provide the aim of (1) deepening students' understanding of the existence and position of the Indonesian language and (2) deepening students' understanding of the Indonesian Language Teaching Program for Foreign Language Learners (BIPA). The existence of the Indonesian language as a state identity, as well as a means of diplomatic strategy, is able to advance the Indonesian language. The results of this community service showed that students participated in the activities very enthusiastically. The results of this brainstorming phase also show that students are increasingly aware of the importance of the strategic role of Indonesian and the Indonesian national language as a communication tool. It can also be seen from the feedback phase that students are increasingly aware of the cultural, racial and ethnic diversity that exists in the world.

Abstract

Stunting is a serious issue affecting children's growth and development, caused by various factors such as chronic malnutrition, infection, and lack of parental knowledge. Based on field observation in Wironanggan Village, Sukoharjo, it was found that 15 children were experiencing stunting in 2024. This community service program aimed to increase parental awareness and knowledge about stunting through a healthy baby competition method combined with nutritional education. The implementation method included observation, preparation, execution, and evaluation stages. The event was held at Anggrek Posyandu, involving 30 children aged 1–3 years and their parents. Nutritional status was assessed through body weight, height, mid-upper arm circumference, and head circumference measurements, followed by educational sessions using leaflets and an interactive lecture method. Results showed an increase in parental enthusiasm and knowledge after the activity. Moreover, the healthy baby competition successfully motivated parents to strive for better child development outcomes. The program concluded with the distribution of supplementary foods (PMT), such as fruits and milk, supporting daily nutritional needs. This activity proved the effectiveness of an educational and participatory approach in tackling stunting at the village level.

Abstract

Environmental sanitation is critical for public health as it affects the spread of diseases such as diarrhea, dengue, and respiratory infections. Poor sanitation arises from issues like inadequate access to clean water, insufficient waste disposal systems, and low public awareness. In Indragiri Hilir Regency, despite health programs, issues such as unsafe drinking water, inadequate latrines, and challenges in implementing Community-Based Total Sanitation (STBM) persist. This highlights problems in program execution, including limited resources and community involvement. The community service project was conducted in partnership with Pulau Kijang Health Center. It involved field data collection, interviews, and document review to assess sanitation progress. The monitoring focused on key indicators such as access to safe drinking water, healthy latrines, and waste management. The project concluded with training health staff and local cadres on sanitation evaluation based on data analysis. Initial assessments revealed that previous monitoring efforts were ineffective due to outdated data and a lack of integration. The approach included training for health workers and local cadres on community-based sanitation monitoring, developing a simple digital data recording system, and conducting public education campaigns. The introduction of the digital system improved data organization, and public education campaigns increased community involvement in reporting sanitation issues. Public participation rose significantly, leading to more accurate sanitation data and better monitoring techniques. The program successfully addressed issues such as outdated data and limited human resources through a comprehensive approach. The introduction of digital data systems and community education improved the quality and accessibility of sanitation data. This led to greater community participation and enhanced the capacity of health personnel. The project demonstrates the value of a collaborative, data-driven approach for sustainable improvements in public health and sanitation.

Abstract

Manjung Village, Wonogiri, has been facing serious challenges in waste management with increasing levels of environmental pollution due to a lack of knowledge of effective waste management. Existing organic waste has not been managed properly, resulting in negative impacts on public health and the environment and has no economic value. This activity aims to provide training to partners in managing organic waste in Manjung Village, Wonogiri District, into economically valuable organic fertilizer products. The partner of this activity is the “Manjung Berkah Waste Bank Group” in Manjung Village, Wonogiri District, Wonogiri Regency. Manjung Berkah Waste Bank was used as an activity partner because: (1) it already has waste management management, (2) existing human resources have not been able to manage organic waste optimally, and (3) the partner is one of the Waste Bank pilot institutions that is still active in Wonogiri Regency. The methods used include socialization, mentoring, and training activities. The results of this activity showed a significant increase in participants' knowledge and skills, as evidenced by the comparison of pre-test and post-test results. The increase showed that the training was effective. In addition, the partners also managed to produce organic fertilizer from previously unutilized waste. This activity not only increases environmental awareness but also opens up new economic opportunities for the community.

The implementation method included pre-activity coordination with village government and community members, direct training in crafting products from PET waste, and evaluation and follow-up through discussions and aspiration gathering. The activity was attended by 19 participants who successfully produced marketable waste basket crafts. This initiative opened opportunities for Dayu Village residents to earn additional income through PET strapping waste processing.

Abstract

The increase in the volume and variety of waste in Siwal Village, Baki, Sukoharjo, has prompted the need for a management strategy that is not only technically oriented but also focuses on improving the knowledge capacity of the community. The growing population and settlements have led to waste that has not been managed optimally, with much of it still scattered on roads and public areas. This initiative aims to enhance community understanding and engagement in waste management through system digitalisation and continuous education. The partner in this initiative is BUMDes Citra Abadi Siwal, which currently lacks a structured waste management system and faces limitations in terms of human resources and infrastructure. Through outreach, training, and mentoring, the community is actively involved in developing community-based waste management systems. The education provided includes waste sorting, the use of a web-based waste bank system, and the importance of waste management as an economic opportunity. The results of the activity show an increase in community knowledge and participation, particularly in terms of waste disposal and sorting. The implementation of a digital system also facilitates record-keeping, monitoring, and enhances transparency in management. Despite challenges such as old habits and infrastructure limitations, this initiative has positively impacted environmental cleanliness and economic contributions through the BUMDes business unit. Thus, this initiative serves as a strategic step in enhancing community capacity toward sustainable waste management.

Abstract

Understanding and skills in digital-based financial literacy are essential, this requires the younger generation, especially students, to have these skills. However, based on the National Survey of Financial Literacy and Inclusion in 2022, it showed a low financial literacy index among the 18-25 age group of 39.94%, therefore targeted educational interventions are needed. Community service activities were carried out to improve the digital financial literacy of the management of the Semarang University Student Koperasi (KOPMA) through training and mentoring. The implementation method consists of four stages, namely socialization and pre-test, interactive training, technical assistance, and evaluation and post-test. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in participant understanding, with the average post-test score increasing from 48 to 82. In addition, 92% of participants stated that they were ready to implement a digital financial recording system in management of koperasi. This activity succeeded in equipping participants with skills in using the Google Sheet and BukuKas applications for recording transactions, preparing financial reports, and cooperative cash planning. This program has an impact that effective digital financial literacy training can strengthen the governance of student cooperatives and form a young generation that is financially intelligent and adaptive to technological developments.

Abstract

Mundu Village is a village in Indonesia located in Tulung District, Klaten Regency, Central Java Province. The Statistics Indonesia (BPS) revealed that more than 60% of the residents of Mundu Village own cattle. This condition has led the community to utilize cattle manure as a source of renewable energy. Additionally, cattle manure is processed into fertilizer to nourish various plants, some of which serve as a food source for the livestock. This activity is known as zero-waste agriculture. This condition encouraged the Mundu Village government to establish a Tourism Village that offers educational tourism based on renewable energy. Mundu Village already has several buildings to support the realization of the Tourism Village. However, Mundu Village is not yet ready in terms of institutions. The community service team from the Faculty of Economics and Business and the Faculty of Law of Muhammadiyah University of Surakarta provided education and assistance in preparing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to support the acceleration of institutional readiness in the effort to establish an Educational Tourism Village based on Renewable Energy. The activity proceeded successfully, marked by the preparation of a draft SOP that is ready to be approved, supporting the institutional strengthening of the Tourism Village.
