Abstract

High school students' self-esteem problems can vary greatly and are influenced by many factors. Some common issues that can affect high school students' self-esteem include: social comparison, academic demands, and identity disorders and lack of social support. Responding to the problem of self-esteem, the service team provided an alternative solution with art therapy training to increase the self-esteem of high school students. The art therapy training process involved 40 high school students which included the process of drawing on aspects of the self-including: strength, significance, ability and wisdom. The results of art therapy training using the paired T-test showed a figure of -6.17, mean -16.0, standard deviation 2.59, with a 2-tailed significance of 0.007. The results of the Paired Sample T-Test show that the T-value is -6.17 with a p-value of <0.001. The p-value is smaller than 0.05, which indicates that there is a significant difference in self-esteem abilities before and after participating in art therapy training. Apart from that, art therapy has an important role in adolescent mental health, especially in relation to individual self-esteem by overcoming social and emotional problems of adolescents after being given training.

Abstract

The birth of a child is a highly anticipated moment for every married couple, with hopes that the newborn will be perfect both physically and mentally. However, the reality can be different when a child is diagnosed with developmental disorders. Parents of children with special needs (ABK) play a crucial role in the upbringing and development of their child, as parental involvement can significantly influence the child's physical, psychological, intellectual, emotional, and social growth. This service program aims to provide education to parents of children with special needs through the distribution of brochures at RSUD Sultan Suriansyah Banjarmasin. The activity was conducted on June 20, 2024, by researchers from the Islamic Psychology Program at UIN Antasari Banjarmasin. The results show that this educational effort was well received by the parents, who gained a deeper understanding of the importance of their role in supporting their child's development. This education is expected to enhance parents' knowledge of activities they can engage in to help their children with special needs grow and develop effectively.

Abstract

Stunting is a critical public health issue with long-term impacts on physical growth and cognitive development in children under five. Empowering health cadres, who serve as the frontline of community health services, is vital for early detection of stunting and providing appropriate growth and development stimulation. This study aimed to enhance the competencies of health cadres in Dopang Village, Gunung Sari District, West Lombok, through interactive module-based training and hands-on field practice. A quasi-experimental approach was applied, involving 30 health cadres as participants. The results indicated a significant improvement in the knowledge, skills, and confidence of cadres in conducting anthropometric measurements, interpreting growth and development data, and educating parents of young children. This intervention also strengthened community engagement in supporting child health programs. In conclusion, strengthening the competencies of health cadres through integrated training can be an effective strategy to prevent stunting and optimize child growth and development at the community level.

Abstract

Degenerative diseases have become a significant health challenge in Indonesia, including in Ketapang Raya Village, Keruak Subdistrict, East Lombok Regency. These diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and heart disease, are often triggered by unhealthy lifestyle factors and a lack of public awareness regarding prevention and management. This study aims to examine efforts to enhance community capacity in addressing degenerative diseases in the village through a community empowerment approach. The research employs a participatory approach, involving the local community in various health education, training, and counseling activities. The programs implemented include increasing knowledge about healthy lifestyles, early disease detection, as well as stress management and balanced dietary habits. The results of the empowerment program indicate an improvement in the community's understanding of the risk factors for degenerative diseases, as well as a change in healthier behaviors, such as increased physical activity, improved dietary habits, and regular health monitoring. It is hoped that through this empowerment program, the community of Ketapang Raya Village will become more self-reliant in managing their health, reducing the prevalence of degenerative diseases, and improving the quality of life. This research contributes to the development of an effective community empowerment model in addressing health issues at the village level.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of smart farming-based agricultural technology in improving the welfare of farmers in Durian Village, Janapria District. Smart farming is a modern agricultural approach that utilizes information and communication technology (ICT) to enhance production efficiency, resource management, and data-driven decision-making. The research employs a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document studies. The findings reveal that the implementation of technologies such as soil sensors, automated irrigation, drone-based land monitoring, and mobile applications for farm management significantly increased land productivity by 25%. Additionally, farmers' incomes rose by an average of 20% annually due to more efficient management and reduced production costs. However, challenges include farmers' limited technological understanding, inadequate infrastructure, and relatively high initial costs. This study recommends strengthening training programs for farmers, developing supporting infrastructure, and providing government subsidies to expand the adoption of smart farming technology. Thus, the application of smart farming demonstrates significant potential to enhance the welfare of rural farmers.

Abstract

Bima Regency has significant potential in the agricultural sector; however, agricultural waste often remains underutilized. This study aims to identify opportunities to optimize agricultural waste into innovative processed products with high economic value. The research approach includes analyzing waste potential, conducting processing trials, and evaluating the economic value of the resulting processed products. The findings reveal that various types of agricultural waste, such as straw, corn husks, and rice husks, can be transformed into valuable products like animal feed, compost, and handicraft materials. Furthermore, the active participation of local communities in this innovation process has positively impacted community-based economic development. Optimizing agricultural waste not only increases farmers' income but also supports the concept of a circular economy and environmental sustainability. This study recommends developing training programs and cross-sector collaborations to expand the implementation of these innovations to other regions.
