Abstract

Mental health problems among adolescents have become a growing global concern. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of a youth empowerment program using digital leaflets to improve help-seeking behavior related to mental health issues among students. Technological progression and digital media saturation in the lives of adolescents provide avenues for addressing these issues anew. Reaching adolescents (and other target groups) in their communities via digital media. This study focused on the ‘One Group Pretest-Post Test Design’ framework which employs a quantitative technique and uses a quasi-experimental design. This framework was able to determine whether or not there was any impact from the intervention. Using a pretest-posttest design with 312 students, statistical analysis showed a significant increase in help-seeking behavior after the digital leaflet intervention. The resulting significance level (p-value) was 0.000, which is significantly lower than the 0.05 significance level (α). This indicates that the difference in mean scores between the pretest and posttest did not occur by chance but is a real effect of the empowerment program. These findings suggest that digital media can be an effective tool for mental health education among adolescents.

Abstract

Women entering the perimenopause phase experience fluctuations in the hormones estrogen and progesterone, which can trigger various physical and psychological symptoms, such as hot flashes, sleep disorders, joint pain, mood swings, and even mild depression. Therefore, promotive and preventive efforts are needed to help perimenopausal women maintain their health and well-being. The partners of this community service are the Jatinom village community in Blitar Regency who have entered perimenopause aged 45-55 years, totaling 40 people. The stages of implementing community service are socialization and recruitment, health education as a promotive and preventive measure, processing cincau leaves. These results indicate that education about perimenopausal health and the use of grass jelly leaves has a positive impact on increasing participants' knowledge. Perimenopausal health education and the use of grass jelly leaves, using interactive discussions, leaflets, and videos, have proven effective in increasing public knowledge, particularly regarding efforts to maintain reproductive health during perimenopause.
