Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a significant public health concern in tropical countries such as Indonesia, particularly during the rainy season. Early education and awareness are crucial in minimizing morbidity and mortality caused by the disease. This community engagement activity aimed to improve knowledge and awareness among patients, families, and visitors at UPT RSUD Labuang Baji Makassar regarding the prevention and early identification of DHF. The program involved structured health education sessions using a Satuan Acara Penyuluhan (SAP) plan, which included presentations, discussions, and distribution of educational materials such as posters and leaflets. The sessions were conducted in inpatient wards, engaging patients and their families. The intervention enhanced participants’ understanding of DHF symptoms, transmission, critical phases, and preventive measures such as maintaining environmental hygiene, proper water management, and promoting healthy behaviors. Increased motivation among family members was observed in taking part in preventive actions at home and in their communities. Health education efforts targeting both patients and their families are effective in raising awareness and promoting behavioral changes for DHF prevention. Continuous collaboration between healthcare providers and the community is essential to sustain preventive measures and reduce the incidence of DHF.

Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hyperuricemia are among the major public health challenges in Indonesia. Health promotion and disease prevention efforts through medical check-ups and education are important strategies to increase public awareness and enable early detection of NCD risk factors. This community service program was conducted in Adatongeng Village, Turikale District, Maros Regency, involving 12 residents. The intervention consisted of three stages: anamnesis, vital signs examination including blood pressure, and blood sugar and uric acid level tests. Counseling was then provided on healthy lifestyle practices, including a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and the importance of routine medical check-ups. The results showed active community participation in both the examinations and educational sessions, as well as increased awareness of the importance of early detection and prevention of NCDs. This activity suggests that integrating medical check-ups and education is an effective strategy in health promotion and disease prevention efforts to improve community quality of life.

Abstract

Hypertension is one of the leading non-communicable diseases contributing to high morbidity and mortality rates in Indonesia. Natural management of hypertension through lifestyle modifications and the consumption of healthy foods is increasingly favored as a complementary therapy. Cucumber juice is known to contain active compounds with the potential to lower blood pressure. This community service program aimed to provide education and introduce cucumber juice as a natural alternative for reducing blood pressure among individuals with hypertension in Ciomas, Bogor. A total of 40 hypertensive participants took part in activities that included educational sessions, demonstrations on how to prepare cucumber juice, and blood pressure measurements before and after the intervention. The results showed an average decrease of 14.8 mmHg in systolic blood pressure and 8.4 mmHg in diastolic blood pressure after consuming cucumber juice for seven consecutive days. Additionally, participants' knowledge regarding hypertension and the benefits of cucumber juice significantly improved, as evidenced by pre-test and post-test assessments. This activity demonstrates that cucumber juice can serve as an effective natural alternative to help lower blood pressure, and highlights the importance of education in raising public awareness about hypertension management. Further research with a larger sample size and extended duration is recommended to validate these findings.

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding remains a key strategy to improve infant health and reduce morbidity and mortality; however, its coverage is still suboptimal in several remote regions of Indonesia, including Yahukimo Regency, Papua Mountains. Antenatal classes are designed to improve maternal knowledge, skills, and confidence in preparing for childbirth and infant care, including breastfeeding practices. This study aimed to examine the association between active participation in antenatal classes and exclusive breastfeeding practices at Aplim Community Health Center, Yahukimo Regency. This research employed a quantitative analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of mothers with infants aged 6–12 months within the working area of Aplim Community Health Center. A total sampling technique was used, resulting in 30 respondents who met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire assessing maternal characteristics, level of participation in antenatal classes, and exclusive breastfeeding practices during the first six months of life. Active participation was defined as attending at least three sessions and engaging actively during discussions. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that among 19 mothers categorized as active participants, 18 (94.7%) practiced exclusive breastfeeding. In contrast, among 11 mothers categorized as inactive, only 2 (10.0%) provided exclusive breastfeeding. Statistical analysis indicated a significant association between active participation in antenatal classes and exclusive breastfeeding (p < 0.001). In conclusion, active participation in antenatal classes is significantly associated with higher likelihood of exclusive breastfeeding. Strengthening maternal engagement in antenatal education programs may contribute to improved breastfeeding outcomes in remote and underserved areas.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, particularly in rural areas, and prevention efforts must begin during pregnancy. This community service program aimed to improve knowledge and awareness regarding high-risk pregnancy and maternal nutritional monitoring as an early strategy to prevent stunting in Tupabiring Village. The program was conducted using a structured approach consisting of preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages. Activities included health education sessions, interactive discussions, nutritional status assessment through body weight and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) measurements, anemia risk identification, and individualized counseling for pregnant women. The results showed an improvement in participants’ knowledge of high-risk pregnancy, danger signs, balanced maternal nutrition, and the importance of routine antenatal care (ANC) visits. Nutritional monitoring enabled early identification of pregnant women at risk of nutritional problems, providing a basis for targeted counseling and follow-up recommendations. The involvement of family members and community health cadres strengthened community participation and program sustainability. In conclusion, education combined with maternal nutritional monitoring is an effective community-based intervention to enhance maternal health awareness and support early stunting prevention efforts. Sustainable and integrated programs at the village level are recommended to optimize long-term maternal and child health outcomes

Abstract

Early detection of non-communicable diseases is essential to reduce the growing burden of diabetes mellitus and hypertension at the community level. This study aimed to identify individuals at risk through a community-based health screening program conducted at Graha Mas Residence. A descriptive observational design was applied. Twelve adult participants voluntarily underwent structured anamnesis, systolic blood pressure measurement, and random blood glucose (RBG) testing using a standard glucometer. Data were analyzed descriptively using frequency and percentage distributions. The results showed that 4 participants (33.3%) had RBG levels >150 mg/dl, while 5 participants (41.7%) had systolic blood pressure >140 mmHg. These findings indicate the presence of individuals at potential risk for metabolic and cardiovascular disorders within the community. Elevated random blood glucose levels suggest the need for further confirmatory testing, such as fasting plasma glucose or HbA1c measurement. Meanwhile, increased systolic blood pressure highlights the importance of early hypertension detection and management to prevent future cardiovascular complications. Although the sample size was limited, the proportion of abnormal findings underscores the relevance of community-based screening as a preventive strategy. Early identification allows timely health education, lifestyle modification, and referral to appropriate health services. Integrating routine screening with promotive and preventive interventions may contribute significantly to reducing the incidence and complications of diabetes and hypertension. In conclusion, community health screening is a feasible and practical approach for early risk detection of non-communicable diseases. Strengthening such programs at the local level may support broader public health efforts in controlling metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors.
