Abstract

Rheumatic diseases, encompassing conditions like Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and other chronic musculoskeletal disorders, represent a leading global health concern and a primary contributor to non-fatal disability. Globally, the prevalence of disability due to musculoskeletal disorders is projected to increase by up to 115% between 2020 and 2050. The objective of this service is to improve the community's (elderly) ability and skills in managing rheumatic symptoms non- pharmacologically. The method used was an educational intervention and practical training over 2 weeks at the RT 08 Security Post (Poskambling). The main interventions included: Rheumatism Counseling, Range of Motion (ROM) Exercise training, and Education on Warm Compresses for pain. The activity was attended by 30 elderly participants. The results showed a significant increase in participants' knowledge scores and a proven decrease in the average pain scale after the intervention. This program is effective for improving knowledge and providing practical skills in community rheumatic pain management.

Abstract

Acute Respiratory Tract Infection (ARI) is an infectious disease that can affect the human respiratory system. ARI is an infection of the upper respiratory tract caused by microorganisms, including the nasal cavity, pharynx, and larynx, which lack gas exchange (Mustafa et al., 2023). An estimated 13 million people die from ARI. The disease burden varies widely, ranging from approximately 4 million of the 13 million people in India (48%), Indonesia (38%), Ethiopia (4.4%), Pakistan (4.3%), China (3.5%), Sudan (1.5%), and Nepal (0.3%). New ARIs occur in almost every region of the world. In 2022, Southeast Asia had the highest number of ARI cases worldwide. Approximately 30 countries contributed to the number of cases. (WHO, 2022) The incidence of ARI in Indonesia is relatively high, at 166,702 in 2022, reaching 53% of the 50% target. Of the 53% of ARI cases, 31.4% occurred in toddlers. ARI is the second leading cause of death in children under five (12-59 months), accounting for 9.4%. This disease is an acute respiratory infection with symptoms of fever, cough lasting less than two weeks, runny nose/nasal congestion, and/or sore throat (Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, 2022). In addition to medical treatment, ARI treatment can also be supported by the use of natural ingredients. The combination of ginger and honey has been shown to have a synergistic effect in relieving ARI symptoms. Ginger works to reduce inflammation and help expel mucus, while honey helps soothe irritated airway tissue, reduce coughing, and speed recovery. With the increasing number of ARI cases and the high public reliance on chemical medications, education on the use of ginger and honey is crucial as a safe, economical, and natural alternative that can be administered independently at home. Therefore, this educational activity is expected to increase public understanding of the use of herbal ingredients to support the treatment of mild ARI and encourage healthy lifestyles based on the use of local ingredients.

Abstract

Hypertension is one of the most common health problems and a major risk factor for heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. According to the results of a 2023 survey by the Indonesian Ministry of Health (Kemenkes), the prevalence of hypertension in people aged 18 years and older was recorded at 30.8%. Prevention of hypertension does not only depend on pharmacological therapy, but can also be done through non-pharmacological approaches such as diet management, physical activity, stress management, and the use of natural ingredients that have the potential to lower blood pressure. One herbal plant that has great potential in preventing hypertension is moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera). Moringa leaves are known to be rich in various nutrients and bioactive compounds, such as potassium, calcium, antioxidants, flavonoids, and polyphenols, which play a role in maintaining blood vessel health and helping to lower blood pressure. The antioxidant content in moringa leaves also serves to reduce oxidative stress, which often occurs in the elderly and contributes to the onset of hypertension. In addition to their high nutritional content, moringa leaves are easy to cultivate and can be processed in various forms, such as vegetables, herbal tea, or powder, making them practical for consumption by the elderly. The use of moringa leaves as a preventive measure against hypertension is expected to be a safe and sustainable natural solution, while also supporting community independence in maintaining health.

Abstract

Hypertension is one of the major health problems among the elderly and can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and kidney failure. Efforts to control hypertension are not only carried out pharmacologically but also through non-pharmacological approaches such as physical activity. Hypertension exercise is a form of light physical exercise that is safe and effective for the elderly. This Community Service Program (KKN) aimed to determine the effect of education and implementation of hypertension exercise on the knowledge level of the elderly as an effort to control hypertension in RT 05, Senalang Village, Lubuklinggau City. The method used was health education with a pre-test and post-test design involving 39 elderly participants and community health cadres. The results showed an increase in participants’ knowledge levels after education and demonstration of hypertension exercise. Before the intervention, most participants had a moderate level of knowledge (80%), while after the intervention, the majority had a good level of knowledge (80%). Education and implementation of hypertension exercise proved to be effective in increasing awareness and knowledge of the elderly to independently control hypertension.

Abstract

Unused land in RT 25 RW 05, Pematang Gubernur Village, has the potential to be developed into a green space that benefits family health and improves the quality of the residential environment, but until now it has not been utilized optimally. This community service program aims to maximize the use of vacant land by planting medicinal plants that are easy to grow and useful for daily needs. The implementation of activities consisted of an initial survey in collaboration with local administrators, mapping the planting area, providing counseling on the benefits of medicinal plants and simple cultivation methods, land preparation and planting media practices, planting seedlings together, and periodic maintenance assistance according to the residents' picket schedule. Evaluation was carried out by comparing the level of knowledge before and after the counseling, observing plant growth, and assessing residents' active participation in the activity. The results of this activity showed an increase in residents' understanding of how to select medicinal plants, planting methods, and care; the establishment of a medicinal plant garden area on the vacant land in RT 25 RW 05; and increased community participation in maintaining cleanliness and garden maintenance. The approach of optimizing vacant land through planting medicinal plants has been proven to provide an effective participatory way to increase family health independence and create a greener and more productive residential environment.

Abstract

Pematang Gubernur Subdistrict is a residential area with relatively high population density and diverse community activities. However, limited directional information signs are still found in RT 29 RW 01, particularly regarding public facilities and strategic locations. This condition makes it difficult for visitors and newcomers to navigate the area. This community service program aims to provide environmental information media through the creation and installation of Strategic Direction Signboards (PANTERAS). The implementation methods include field observation, signboard design, construction, installation at strategic points, and brief socialization to residents. The results show that the signboards help improve environmental order and facilitate access to location information for the community.
