Abstract

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (CHLB/PHBS) is a fundamental component in shaping an individual's health quality from an early age. However, in many elementary schools, including SD Negeri Krebet, Bantul, students' understanding of PHBS remains limited. This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge of first to third-grade students about PHBS through educational and engaging health counseling. The intervention included interactive lectures and animated video screenings, integrated into the School Orientation Program (MPLS). A total of 77 students participated in the activity, with 25 randomly selected for pre-test and post-test evaluation. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon test. The average pre-test score was 6.75, increasing to 8.28 in the post-test. All students showed improved knowledge (positive ranks: 25), with no declines or unchanged results. The p-value of 0.000 indicated a statistically significant impact of the intervention. This improvement was reflected not only in numerical data but also in students' enthusiasm during the activity. The visual and communicative delivery helped students better grasp the PHBS concept. As an output, the activity produced an educational video published on social media as part of health information dissemination. Thus, this program effectively increased PHBS knowledge among elementary school students and can serve as a replicable model for health education in other schools.

Abstract

Menarche is an important milestone in female reproductive development, commonly occurring during late childhood or early adolescence. Insufficient knowledge of reproductive health often causes female students to experience anxiety, fear, and unpreparedness when facing their first menstruation. Educational comic books are an age-appropriate medium, presenting health information in an engaging, simple, and understandable format for elementary school students. This community service program aimed to analyze the use of the educational comic book Adolescent Reproductive Health: I Am Ready to Face Menarche in improving knowledge, attitudes, and preparedness for menarche among female students at Muhammadiyah Elementary School (Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Muhammadiyah) Gumiwang. This activity employed a quantitative pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest approach. Participants consisted of 30 female students in grades 5 and 6 who had not yet experienced menarche and met the inclusion criteria. The intervention consisted of reproductive health education using the comic book, with knowledge, attitude, and preparedness data collected via structured questionnaires before and after the intervention. Bivariate analysis compared participants' scores before and after the program. Results showed the comic book improved students' knowledge, promoted more positive attitudes, and increased preparedness for menarche. It helped students understand the physical and psychological changes of puberty, appropriate menstrual hygiene practices, and boosted confidence in facing their first menstruation. The comic book is a promising medium for improving knowledge, attitudes, and preparedness among female students facing menarche. Age-appropriate educational media should be incorporated into school-based reproductive health education to promote early reproductive health literacy and better preparedness for puberty.

Abstract

A safe and sustainable blood supply relies on regular voluntary blood donors, yet adolescent participation remains low. This community service program aimed to improve adolescents' knowledge through Game Fe Card-based education and support the establishment of sustainable blood donor cadres. The program was conducted at SMA Negeri 1 Kasihan and involved 36 students. The implementation consisted of coordination with the partner school, preparation of educational materials, blood donation education using the interactive Game Fe Card, reflective discussions, and the selection of blood donor cadres. Participants' knowledge was evaluated using pre-test and post-test questionnaires. The educational intervention significantly improved participants' knowledge of blood donation. The proportion of participants with good knowledge increased from 11.11% before the intervention to 69.44% after the intervention, while the moderate and low knowledge categories decreased from 50.00% to 27.78% and from 38.89% to 2.78%, respectively. Furthermore, eight participants were selected as sustainable blood donor cadres based on their active participation and understanding of the educational materials. The interactive learning approach using Game Fe Card encouraged active engagement and strengthened participants' understanding of blood donation concepts. Game Fe Card is an effective educational medium for improving adolescents' knowledge of blood donation and supporting the establishment of sustainable blood donor cadres. This approach has the potential to promote voluntary blood donation awareness among adolescents and strengthen the sustainability of blood donation programs through peer.

Abstract

Indonesia is a country rich in herbal plants, such as ginger, turmeric and lemongrass. Those three are known to have many health benefits, such as antioxidants, anticancer, and others. Regular consumption of these three herbs can also increase the body's endurance. One practical form of consuming these herbs is by processing them into a powdered herbal drink. It requires a process where not everyone is aware of this, especially in Ngentak, Sumberagung, Jetis, Bantul. Thus, we want to provide education and training on processing these three herbs into a powdered drink. This aims to increase the knowledge and skills of the participants. This activity was attended by 23 participants where the activity consisted of pretest, provision of materials, training, and posttest. The powder is made by applying the principle of crystallization so that ginger, turmeric and lemongrass can be converted into herbal drink in powder form. Based on the results of the pretest and posttest, there was a 40% increase in correct answers by participants, from 53.04% to 93.04%. Based on these results, it can be concluded that this activity can increase the participant’s knowledge and skills regarding the use of ginger, turmeric and lemongrass into herbal powder drinks.

Abstract

According to the latest report from the World Health Organization (WHO, 2023), an estimated 52.9 million children under the age of five worldwide experience developmental delays, with the highest prevalence occurring in low- and middle-income countries. The WHO highlights that developmental delays in early childhood are closely associated with poor nutritional status, inadequate environmental stimulation, and maternal and child health problems. The aim of this community service program was to improve parents' skills in providing developmental stimulation for preschool-aged children using the Kuesioner Pra Skrining Perkembangan (KPSP) (Pre-Screening Developmental Questionnaire) at TK Kartini Bantul.  A KPSP-based training program was conducted using lectures, question-and-answer sessions, and role-playing activities to improve parents' competence in developmental stimulation. Following the educational intervention and KPSP-based developmental stimulation training, the majority of parents demonstrated a good level of knowledge (94.11%), indicating a substantial improvement in their understanding of appropriate developmental stimulation practices.

Abstract

The Special Region of Yogyakarta is highly prone to geological and hydrometeorological disasters; consequently, school community preparedness is a crucial component of disaster risk reduction efforts. This community service initiative aimed to enhance disaster preparedness knowledge and skills among new students through the Disaster-Safe Education Unit (SPAB) program. The activities were conducted during the School Environment Introduction Period (MPLS) at three secondary schools MTs Negeri 5 Sleman, SMP Muhammadiyah 7 Yogyakarta, and MTs Negeri 5 Bantul as a collaboration between the Faculty of Medicine at Universitas Ahmad Dahlan and the DIY SPAB Joint Secretariat. A participatory learning approach was employed, integrating the assessment of prior knowledge, disaster education, first aid practice, and earthquake emergency response simulations. The results indicated that, initially, most participants were familiar with the term "disaster" but lacked an understanding of mitigation concepts and proper evacuation procedures. Following the activities, participants demonstrated improved understanding of disaster concepts; they were able to perform basic first aid techniques such as wound dressing and splinting and execute the "Drop, Cover, and Hold On" procedure followed by evacuation to designated assembly points. However, challenges remained, specifically regarding student panic and suboptimal teacher involvement. This initiative contributes to fostering a disaster-safe school culture and implementing the SPAB program, while recommending periodic training, routine simulations, and the establishment of school disaster preparedness teams as follow-up measures.

Abstract

Older adults represent the final stage of human development across the life cycle. In older adults, the musculoskeletal system undergoes several changes, including changes in connective tissues (collagen and elastin), decreased cartilage function, reduced bone density, changes in muscle structure, and decreased joint elasticity. Loss of cartilage flexibility, bone hypertrophy, and thickening of the joint capsule can trigger various joint disorders. One of the most common musculoskeletal disorders found in older adults is osteoarthritis. The management of osteoarthritis is an ongoing treatment process that requires the involvement of nurses, including the implementation of stretching exercises. A stretching exercise is an activity that involves stretching the muscles to improve muscle flexibility and increase the range of motion of the joints. The purpose of this community service activity was to provide education on the topic of understanding osteoarthritis and to teach stretching exercises to older adults as an effort to promote a healthy elderly population and prevent osteoarthritis. The method used involves systematic stages and steps, including the solution implementation stage, which consists of socialization and initial data collection, and the implementation of community service. In this stage, the service team provides training on stretching exercises using a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) that has been registered for Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). The second stage involves engaging partners in the activities, and the final stage evaluates the implementation and sustainability of the activities The community service activity was conducted in Cemani Village, RT 03/RW 10, Surakarta, with the active participation of 38 local residents. The results of the activity showed an improvement in participants’ knowledge, as demonstrated by a significant increase in the pre-test and post-test scores. Before the educational session, the majority of participants had a moderate level of knowledge (37%). Following the post-test, the majority of participants demonstrated a good level of knowledge (84%). Meanwhile, participants’ understanding of stretching exercises was evaluated based on their ability to perform the exercises independently after receiving the training.

Abstract

Early adolescence is characterized by significant social and emotional development that may influence self-efficacy and adolescents’ confidence in communicating with others. An initial assessment among female students at SMP Negeri 3 Gemolong indicated that 86.0% of participants had moderate to low levels of self-efficacy. This study aimed to improve self-efficacy through Character & Communication Training (CCT) as a school-based youth empowerment approach. A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was employed involving 50 female students. The intervention consisted of self-potential identification, character strengthening, effective and assertive communication, public speaking, role-play, simulation, reflection, and peer feedback. Data were collected using a self-efficacy questionnaire and assessments of communication skills and self-confidence. Data were analyzed descriptively using frequency distributions and percentages. The proportion of participants with high self-efficacy increased from 14.0% at pretest to 54.0% at posttest, while those with low self-efficacy decreased from 30.0% to 6.0%. The proportion demonstrating good communication skills increased from 16.0% to 62.0%, while the proportion with high self-confidence increased from 12.0% to 58.0%. CCT demonstrated positive descriptive changes in self-efficacy, communication skills, and self-confidence among female students. CCT has potential as a school-based youth empowerment strategy that integrates character development with essential communication skills.

Abstract

The role of midwives in supporting safe and comfortable childbirth was also affirmed in another study, which showed that midwives contribute significantly to ensuring the safety of mothers and babies through a holistic, humanistic, and mother-centered approach to midwifery care. Direct midwife assistance in childbirth services is seen as a strategy that can improve the competence and experience of maternity mothers, so that it can have a positive impact on the quality of services in health facilities The goal to increase the knowledge and competence of participants in providing clean and safe childbirth services. This community service activity uses a pre-experimental approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design to evaluate changes in self-competence and the ability to implement safe and clean childbirth services after participating in the Mentoring program. After the implementation of mentoring, there was a change in knowledge improvement. Participants with high-category knowledge increased from 20 people (66.0%) to 30 people (100.0%), or an increase of 34%. The medium category also decreased from 10 people (33.0%) to 0 people (0.0%). There was an increase in the number of participants who reached the competent category after mentoring. Before mentoring, 18 participants (60%) were in the competent category, while after mentoring it increased to 100 participants (100%). The change shows a shift in participants from the medium category to the high category. The results show that the mentoring activities carried out are able to increase the capacity of participants in understanding and implementing clean and safe childbirth services. The educational method accompanied by education, mentoring and discussion of case resolution and providing feedback provides an opportunity for participants to not only receive information, but also try and apply the knowledge gained.

Abstract

Hypertension and diabetes mellitus are chronic non-communicable diseases that pose a risk of complications without clear symptoms. This community service program aimed to enhance community knowledge and awareness regarding risk factors, prevention, management, medication adherence, and the importance of early detection. The target audience was the community of Sangkal Hamlet, Bangunharjo Village, Sewon District, Bantul Regency, with a total of 25 participants consisting of adults and the elderly. The program was conducted on July 16, 2026. The methods included health education lectures, interactive discussions, blood pressure and random blood glucose (RBG) screenings, individual counseling, and knowledge evaluation using a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The results demonstrated an increase in the mean knowledge score by 18.5 points, rising from 65.5 (pre-test) to 84.0 (post-test). A total of 20 participants (80%) showed an increase in scores, while 5 participants (20%) maintained constant scores. Health screening results revealed that 18 participants (72%) had blood pressure levels ?130/85 mmHg and 2 participants (8%) had RBG levels ?200 mg/dL. The combination of interactive education and health screening effectively improves community knowledge and awareness toward the prevention of non-communicable diseases. Nevertheless, further evaluations are required to assess the sustainability of long-term behavioral changes.
