Abstract

Violent behavior often arises as a response to severe stress, anger, or unresolved environmental pressure, especially in patients with mental disorders that have a detrimental impact on themselves, others, and the environment. One form of non-pharmacological therapy that can be taught to clients in controlling violent behavior is using Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) therapy. For this reason, the author is trying to provide a solution through community service activities in the form of the application of Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) therapy to reduce angry behavior in RPK patients. The activity was carried out on Tuesday, November 9, 2024 with 30 RPK patients as participants at the Mitra Mulia Husada Foundation in Palembang. The results of the activity obtained an average pretest score of 3.8 and after the training, the average score was 10.7. This condition indicates that there is an increase in patient understanding in implementing Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) therapy. Therefore, it is recommended that the Mitra Mulia Husada Foundation can apply this therapy to mental disorder patients who experience angry behavior because this therapy can be done without using special equipment and is easy to understand for patients and health workers

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis is a chronic disease that spreads very easily and quickly, posing a national and global health threat. Indonesia ranks second in the world for the highest number of pulmonary TB cases, after India. Low public knowledge, stigma, access to healthcare services, and the long duration of treatment for pulmonary TB are contributing factors to the increase in pulmonary TB cases in Indonesia. The importance of empowering communities and health cadres to prevent transmission and supervise medication intake in pulmonary TB patients aligns with the National Pulmonary TB Elimination Program 2030. This community service aims to increase the knowledge and skills of communities and health cadres in recognizing risk factors, preventing transmission, and supervising treatment for pulmonary TB. The service activity was held on July 17, 2025, and was attended by 22 participants from the community and health cadres. Using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach with pre and post tests. Subsequently, education was conducted using interactive face-to-face lectures, discussions, practical demonstrations of effective coughing and cough etiquette, and the distribution of informative leaflets. The follow-up session for the patients' families will be held on July 20, 2025, to conduct direct monitoring at one of the homes of patients with pulmonary TB. The empowerment activities significantly improved the knowledge (p-value 0.004) and behavior (p-value 0.003) of the community and pulmonary TB cadres. The average knowledge score before the activity was 68 (66-74) and increased to 85 (79-91) after the activity. Similarly, the average behavior score increased from 63 (56-74) to 76 (67-87). Health empowerment through education, counseling, and training, as well as the direct use of brochures, proved highly effective in increasing awareness and competence in controlling pulmonary TB. The empowerment activities successfully increased the contribution of health cadres in preventing and early detecting transmission, as well as monitoring the treatment of pulmonary TB patients. There needs to be increased active participation from the community, health cadres, and community leaders so that pulmonary TB elimination can be achieved, especially in the Legok Village.

Abstract

A healthy home is a living environment that supports occupants’ health through clean surroundings, adequate ventilation and lighting, and proper sanitation. In contrast, unhealthy housing conditions often fail to meet health standards and may increase the risk of environment-related diseases. One effort to address this issue is through the role of Saka Bakti Husada as a form of Community-Based Health Effort that focuses on improving health knowledge and awareness. This community service activity aimed to measure the level of knowledge of Saka Bakti Husada members regarding the concept of a healthy home after a socialization program conducted at SMA Negeri 1 Bambanglipuro. The activity was implemented using an educational approach through counseling methods, accompanied by knowledge assessment using pre-test and post-test. The evaluation involved 20 respondents out of a total of 33 participants. The results showed a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge, with an average pre-test score of 11.80 and a post-test score of 18.25 (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that the socialization activity was effective in increasing participants’ understanding of the healthy home concept. Therefore, schools are encouraged to strengthen the guidance of Saka Bakti Husada by integrating this activity into regular scouting programs, with support from community health centers in providing educational materials and technical assistance in environmental health.

Abstract

Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of death in women after breast cancer. Low coverage of early detection through VIA and Do IVA tests remains a problem, primarily due to a lack of public knowledge. This situation requires an increased role for community health workers in education and health promotion related to early cervical cancer detection. This Community Service activity aims to enhance the role and capacity of community health workers in providing education and supporting the implementation of VIA and Do IVA tests. The methods used include training, counseling, and the implementation of VIA and Do IVA tests. The activity involved 20 community health workers. Results showed an increase in community health workers' knowledge from an average of 72.52 to 85.00, the formation of a VIA test team, and the development of the ivacenterlimus website as a communication tool between the community and community health workers. This activity is expected to increase community health workers' involvement and expand the reach of cervical cancer early detection in the community.
