Abstract

The aging process leads to a decline in musculoskeletal function, resulting in an increased risk of mobility impairment, pain, and reduced independence among older adults in performing daily living activities. This condition necessitates health promotion and preventive initiatives through community-based education and healthcare services. This community engagement activity aimed to enhance older adults' access to ergonomic education, health consultations, and integrated physical therapy services to support physical independence. The activity was conducted in May 2026 at TLC Bethesda, Pakem, Sleman, Special Region of Yogyakarta, involving 200 older adults aged 60–74 years. The program comprised ergonomic workshops and demonstrations, health consultations, and tailored physical therapy services based on participants' needs. Program evaluation was performed using a satisfaction questionnaire completed by 172 participants and analyzed descriptively. Initial screening revealed that the most frequently reported complaint was knee pain (41.0%), followed by back pain (23.0%), concurrent knee and back pain (12.0%), and shoulder/neck pain (10.5%). The evaluation demonstrated an overall satisfaction score of 3.54 ± 0.38 (88.50%), falling into the "highly satisfied" category. The integrated ergonomic education and physical therapy program was successfully executed according to plan and achieved high acceptance among participants. Similar community-based initiatives are recommended to be implemented sustainably, supported by enhancements in service infrastructure and objective outcome measures to evaluate long-term impacts on older adults' knowledge and functional capacity.

Abstract

Indonesia is among the countries with a high risk of disasters. This situation necessitates raising disaster safety awareness from an early age, particularly within school environments, which serve as places for both learning and play for children. This community service initiative aims to enhance schools' emergency response capabilities by establishing emergency response teams and procedures, developing pocket guides, building the capacity and knowledge of the school community through training and disaster simulations, improving safety facilities, and educational innovations regarding disaster preparedness. Implementation methods include interactive training sessions for students, staff, and teachers. A participatory approach is also employed in the development of educational materials, response procedures, disaster response teams, evacuation routes, and simulation scenarios to ensure the initiative's relevance and sustainability. Results indicate an improvement in students' understanding of disaster mitigation: a 40.8% increase for 3rd-grade students and a 5% increase for 4th-grade students. This initiative supports the achievement of *Asta Cita* 4 and the Sustainable Development Goals, specifically Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and Goal 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) by serving as an effective and practical model for disaster mitigation education in schools.

Abstract

Campus workers perform academic, administrative, technical, and support functions, yet their access to practical information on human rights at work remains uneven. This community service program aimed to strengthen human rights literacy and safe complaint skills among campus workers in Yogyakarta City. The program was implemented with the Campus Workers Union through four stages: needs assessment, preparation and validation of a practical guide, case-based training, and follow-up assistance. Participants comprised 38 campus workers from five higher education institutions, including lecturers, researchers, administrative staff, librarians, laboratory staff, security and cleaning personnel, information-technology staff, and outsourced workers. Evaluation used a ten-item pre-test and post-test, a simulation rubric, a satisfaction questionnaire, and participants' action plans. The mean knowledge score increased from 5.8 to 8.1, while 80.6% of participants met the minimum simulation standard and 94.4% rated the program useful. The training helped participants connect decent work, equality, academic freedom, freedom of association, documentation, risk assessment, confidentiality, and remedy pathways. The program produced a practical guide and a safe complaint protocol that can be reused by the union. Continued facilitator training, periodic legal updates, and confidential referral networks are recommended to sustain the program.
