Abstract

The development of an administrative service handbook for psychology assistants at the Sinar Talenta Foundation was motivated by the need for structured work guidelines in administrative service practices. This activity aimed to develop a handbook that can serve as an initial reference for psychology assistants in understanding workflows, administrative procedures, psychological test administration, client data management, and monthly reporting. The approach used was simple product development with an initial user acceptance evaluation. Initial information on technical needs was obtained through unstructured field observation and communication with the foundation. The handbook was developed through five stages: planning, preparation, writing, editing, and evaluation. The evaluation was conducted using a 1–4 scale questionnaire consisting of 14 items covering content, guide clarity, visual presentation, language, and usability. The initial evaluation by one user showed a total score of 46 out of 56, which falls into the high category. These results indicate that the handbook is considered feasible as an initial internal guide for supporting administrative service standardization at the foundation. However, further evaluation involving more users is needed to examine its broader usability and long-term effectiveness.

Abstract

Maternal anemia remains an important public health problem that increases the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes and contributes to factors associated with impaired fetal growth. This community empowerment program aimed to empower pregnant women through the utilization of PISBRO cookies as a complementary food to support hemoglobin improvement and reduce risk factors for stunting. The program was implemented in Bangun Rejo Village, Tanjung Morawa District, Deli Serdang Regency, Indonesia, using a community empowerment approach that included health education, PISBRO cookie production training, consumption of PISBRO cookies together with iron supplementation, adherence monitoring, family support, and pre- and post-program hemoglobin assessment. Twenty-two pregnant women were recruited, and 20 completed the program. Mean adherence to PISBRO cookie consumption was 82.34±13.51%, with 65% of participants categorized as adherent, while 50% received good family support. Mean hemoglobin increased from 9.64±0.42 g/dL to 9.87±0.53 g/dL, with an average increase of 0.24±0.21 g/dL. Ninety percent of participants experienced increased hemoglobin levels, and Wilcoxon signed-rank testing demonstrated a significant difference before and after the program (p<0.001). The integrated community empowerment program combining PISBRO cookies, health education, iron supplementation, adherence monitoring, and family involvement showed potential to support early improvement in maternal hemoglobin. Greater family engagement and sustained follow-up are recommended to enhance program effectiveness.

Abstract

Adolescence is marked by biological, cognitive, social, and emotional changes that require adaptive emotional regulation skills. This community service program aimed to introduce emotional regulation concepts and initial practices to adolescents through Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) training focused on self-awareness and self-management. The program was conducted at a school in Cerme Lor Village, Gresik, and involved 100 senior high school students. Activities included material presentation, group discussions, identification of emotional triggers, breathing exercises, butterfly hug, simple relaxation, and the development of personal action plans. Evaluation was conducted descriptively through facilitator observations, participant reflections, and reviews of the personal action plans. All registered participants attended the program until completion, engaged in discussions and practical activities, and completed personal action plans containing emotional triggers, selected regulation strategies, and implementation plans. However, the program did not employ a pretest–posttest design, a validated emotional regulation instrument, or follow-up assessment. Therefore, the findings describe program implementation and participant engagement rather than evidence of improved emotional regulation skills. Future programs should include pre- and post-intervention assessments and periodic follow-up evaluations.

Abstract

Access to antenatal screening at the rural primary care level remains limited and may contribute to delayed identification of pregnancy-related abnormalities. This community service program aimed to support the optimization of access to basic ultrasound screening, facilitate initial antenatal assessment, and improve pregnant women’s knowledge in Bangun Rejo Village. A community-based evaluation using a one-group pre-test–post-test design involved all 26 eligible pregnant women through total sampling. The intervention integrated interactive maternal health education with free basic ultrasound examinations using a participatory clinical approach. Knowledge was assessed using a validated 30-item multiple-choice questionnaire administered before and immediately after the intervention. Basic ultrasound examinations identified cephalic presentation in 19 participants (73.1%) and breech or transverse presentation in 7 participants (26.9%) who were in the first or second trimester. All participants had adequate amniotic fluid volume and placental location in the uterine corpus; therefore, no abnormalities requiring immediate referral were identified in the assessed ultrasound parameters. The proportion of participants in the good knowledge category increased from 34.6% to 73.1%, while the poor category decreased from 42.3% to 3.8%. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test indicated a significant difference in knowledge categories before and after the intervention (Z = −3.542; p < 0.001). The program facilitated access to basic ultrasound services during its implementation, supported initial antenatal screening, and improved participants’ short-term knowledge. Continued monitoring is required to assess knowledge retention, referral adherence, and pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract

This community service activity aimed to provide practical knowledge and hands-on experience to housewives and farmer group members in Siontapina Village in converting rice-washing water into liquid organic fertilizer (LOF). The activity was conducted on October 14, 2025, with 10 participants through socialization and direct demonstration. The formulation consisted of 600 mL of rice-washing water, one tablespoon of brown sugar (approximately 10 g), and 50 mL of EM4, followed by seven days of fermentation. Observation showed a cloudy yellow liquid with a distinctive fermented aroma resembling tape, a small amount of white foam, and gas pressure inside the container. The LOF was introduced for use after dilution at a 1:10 ratio. The activity demonstrates the potential of a simple household-resource-based technology, although chemical quality and effectiveness on plant growth were not examined.
