Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional issue that hampers children's growth, characterized by height below the standard set by the World Health Organization (WHO). The primary cause is prolonged malnutrition, especially during the first 1,000 days of life—from pregnancy until the child turns two. In Indonesia, stunting has become a national priority due to its long-term impact on human resource quality and the country’s future. According to the 2022 Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey (SSGI), national stunting prevalence stands at 21.6%, while West Java reports 20.2%. In Bandung Regency, including Dayeuhkolot area, stunted children are still found, often due to inadequate monitoring during pregnancy and low maternal awareness about nutritional health. Efforts to reduce stunting should not focus only on toddlers but also prioritize early prevention during pregnancy. Maternal health—encompassing nutritional status, blood pressure, weight, and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC)—plays a crucial role in determining the risk of delivering low birth weight (LBW) babies, a major stunting risk factor. However, many pregnant women lack knowledge of how to use basic health measurement tools like MUAC tapes, weight scales, and blood pressure monitors. Through this community service program, the team will conduct health education and practical training sessions for pregnant women at Posyandu 08 Melati, Citeureup Village, Dayeuhkolot. The initiative aims to improve maternal health literacy, equip participants with skills to use health tools, and raise early detection awareness for stunting prevention. A participatory, community-based approach will be applied to ensure sustainable impact in line with the government’s national stunting reduction agenda.

Abstract

Dementia is one of the global health problems that affects not only the elderly but also individuals in the productive age group. This condition is known as Young-Onset Dementia (YOD), which can occur before the age of 65 and is often linked to unhealthy lifestyle habits. The lack of public awareness regarding the risk factors and early signs of dementia poses a challenge in prevention efforts. This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge of students at SMAN 4 Sidrap about the early recognition and prevention of dementia. The methods used included health education sessions, interactive discussions, and the administration of pre-test and post-test questionnaires. The results showed an increase in participants’ knowledge. Among 52 participants, 55.8% were initially in the moderate category, which increased to 73.1% in the good category after the intervention. This activity is expected to serve as an initial step in raising awareness among young people about the importance of maintaining cognitive health and preventing the risk of dementia from an early age

Abstract

Sleep disorders are a problem experienced by teenagers at SMKN 4 Negara.Teenagers say that they only sleep for about 5 hours a day. They also mention that their pre-sleep habits or when they have trouble falling asleep include using their phones, even placing their phones on the bed while they sleep. They reveal that sometimes they stay online until late at night, whether it’s playing games, watching movies, or engaging in social media activities, which leads to difficulty sleeping and restless sleep, resulting in feeling unrefreshed and even dizzy upon waking up in the morning. The objective of this community service initiative is to assist students in enhancing their knowledge and strategies to improve sleep hygiene, thereby preventing sleep disorders among adolescents. Efforts to enhance adolescents' knowledge of proper sleep hygiene through health education and guidance are implemented to monitor students in carrying out the initiatives undertaken. The target audience for this community service activity is the 33 students at SMKN 4 Negara. Health education activities were conducted online via zoom meetings using audiovisual materials and booklets, followed by mentoring over a four-week period.

Abstract

Reproductive health (Kespro) is an important aspect that should be introduced from adolescence, as this period is a transition to adulthood marked by physical, psychological, and social changes. A lack of understanding of reproductive health can lead to risky behavior among adolescents. This community service activity was carried out at SMP Pertiwi 1 Kota Jambi with the aim of optimizing the role of the School Health Unit (UKS) in improving students’ knowledge of reproductive health. The method used was health education through counseling, interactive presentations, and group discussions. The activity was conducted from March to August 2025. Evaluation was carried out using pre-test and post-test instruments administered to 10 UKS team students. The results showed that before education, the students’ level of knowledge was in the good category for 8 students (80%), sufficient for 2 students (20%), and poor for 0 students (0%). After education, students’ knowledge improved to the good category for all 10 students (100%), while sufficient and poor categories were not found (0%). Although most students already have good knowledge, there are still 20% of students with sufficient knowledge. Education is needed to align the understanding of all members of the Health and Safety Team, prevent information gaps between students, and ensure all participants have correct and standardized knowledge. These findings indicate a significant improvement in students’ knowledge after receiving education. Thus, this activity proves that reproductive health education through the optimization of the UKS team is effective in increasing knowledge and creating positive changes before and after implementation. It is expected that similar programs can be carried out sustainably so that students gain adequate provisions to maintain reproductive health from an early age.

Abstract

Pramuka Island, the administrative center of the Thousand Islands Regency, faces various social and mental health challenges, particularly among housewives who are vulnerable to stress due to multiple burdens, fluctuating economic conditions, and limited psychosocial support. Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) is a simple and practical relaxation technique that can be performed independently, making it a potential community-based strategy for stress management. This community service program aimed to provide PMR training for housewives on Pramuka Island to enhance their knowledge and skills in managing stress. The training was conducted on July 11, 2025, at SMAN 69 Jakarta with 12 participants. The activities consisted of pre-test, education, PMR practice, discussion, post-test, and evaluation. Results indicated a significant improvement in knowledge, with the mean score increasing from 61.7 (pre-test) to 85 (post-test), accompanied by a reduction in score variation among participants. All participants (100%) reported feeling more relaxed and being able to practice PMR independently, while the majority (91.7%) experienced reduced stress and expressed the intention to apply PMR in their daily lives. Overall, PMR training proved effective as a simple, low-cost, and relevant intervention to support the mental health of housewives. It is recommended for integration into community-based public health programs

Abstract

Hypertension remains a significant health problem worldwide, including in Indonesia. Prevention and regular blood pressure checks, as well as complementary therapies such as antihypertensive exercises, are needed to control this condition. The purpose of this community service is to increase elderly knowledge about hypertension and antihypertensive exercises as an effort to prevent and control blood pressure. The methods used in this activity include blood pressure checks, counseling on hypertension, and demonstration of antihypertensive exercises. The activity was carried out in Mantawa Village, precisely at the Balai Banjar Dusun III on December 16, 2024, attended by 42 elderly people (28 women and 14 men). The examination results showed that the systolic pressure before the antihypertensive exercise was 178.86 mmHg, which decreased to 169.89 mmHg after the exercise, while the diastolic pressure decreased from 102.75 mmHg to 96.02 mmHg. In addition, the pretest and posttest results showed an increase in elderly knowledge about hypertension from 42.86% to 90.48%, as well as an understanding of the importance of antihypertensive exercises from 28.57% to 80.95%. This activity succeeded in increasing the knowledge and awareness of the elderly about hypertension and antihypertensive exercises, and showed a significant decrease in blood pressure. It is hoped that similar activities can be continued periodically to improve the health of the elderly and encourage them to be more active in maintaining health through antihypertensive exercises and routine blood pressure checks.
