Abstract

Hypertension and household waste management are significant issues faced by Indonesian communities, particularly in Wombo Kalonggo Village.  Most villagers work as farmers, while many women remain at home, and the availability of large land areas has contributed to improper waste management practices. Waste is often discarded into dry rivers or openly burned in household yards. This community service program aimed to enhance integrative community knowledge through education on infused water preparation as an effort to prevent hypertension and education on sorting organic and inorganic waste as an environmental management strategy. The method applied was a participatory approach, involving the community in socialization, hands-on practice, and interactive discussions. Infused water education proved effective in improving community knowledge and awareness of healthy lifestyles, particularly in hypertension prevention. Meanwhile, waste sorting education enhanced villagers’ skills in managing household waste and fostered environmentally friendly behavior. The integration of these two programs created a holistic approach that focused not only on individual health but also on environmental cleanliness. The outcomes of this program showed a significant improvement in knowledge, skills, and awareness among the community after the intervention. This initiative highlights the importance of integrating health and environmental education into a sustainable community service program.

Abstract

Two non-communicable diseases that rank third in terms of mortality and are becoming more common in Indonesia are hypertension (HT) and diabetes mellitus (DM). The Chronic Disease Management Program (Prolanis), which aims to maintain the health of individuals with HT and DM, was introduced by the government and the National Health Care Security (BPJS) in response. Prolanis is intended for patients at Primary Health Care Facilities diagnosed with HT and DM. Nonetheless, participation in the Prolanis program remains relatively low. This program aims to increase the knowledge and involvement of HT and DM patients in Prolanis at the Annisa Dua Clinic in Citereup, Bogor City, by using Health Talk Education. The activity's outcomes demonstrated that participants' attitudes and understanding of the significance of participating in Prolanis had increased. Participants also felt more understanding and motivated to participate in activities and contribute to Prolanis. There was high participant satisfaction with this community service program. Participation in Prolanis can be increased through education about the importance of participating in community-based Prolanis related to the community. Of course, collaboration from various parties is needed to achieve Prolanis's goals.

Abstract

Traditional bread products are generally high in sugar and low in protein, which may negatively affect health. On the other hand, traditional bread entrepreneurs face challenges in terms of limited knowledge and skills in product development, packaging, and marketing strategies. This program aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of traditional bread entrepreneurs in producing healthy bread using local food ingredients. Method: The community service activity was carried out through several stages: planning, training in making healthy bread using moringa and legumes, training in packaging design, mentoring marketing strategies using social media, and evaluation through pre-test and post-test. Results: A total of 10 participants joined, mostly aged ≥45 years (90%), with high school education (60%). There was a significant improvement in knowledge, with the average pre-test score of 4.20 increasing to 9.00 in the post-test (p=0.000). Conclusion: Training and mentoring significantly improved the knowledge and skills of traditional bread entrepreneurs. It is recommended that this program be continued sustainably with support for marketing and business licensing.

Abstract

Based on observations among the elderly group, it was found that out of 112 respondents, nearly half (45.5%) suffered from hypertension. However, only 6.3% of the elderly regularly attended Posyandu Lansia (Elderly Integrated Health Post) activities. Currently, services provided at the Posyandu include exercise sessions, health education, and medical check-ups. The objectives of this community service program were to: (1) empower Posyandu cadres, (2) provide education for the elderly regarding a healthy environment, balanced diet, oral health maintenance, and self-acupressure techniques, and (3) offer blood pressure monitoring and acupressure services at the Posyandu Lansia in Kutampi Village. The methods applied in this program included community empowerment, health education, and direct health services. The target participants were Posyandu cadres and elderly residents of Kutampi Village, with activities conducted from June to November 2025. Program success was measured based on attendance and improvement in participants’ knowledge. The cadre empowerment program for elderly hypertension management involved 27 cadres who participated in the training sessions. Strengthening the Posyandu Lansia was achieved through educational activities on hypertension, healthy environments, and appropriate dietary choices for hypertension, along with blood pressure measurement and acupressure services. The program received strong support from the Village Head of Kutampi and the Head of Nusa Penida I Public Health Center. Post-education evaluations showed an improvement in participants’ knowledge.

Abstract

The golden age refers to a crucial period in a child's growth and development. Optimal child development is essential for children to be better prepared for school. A preliminary study revealed that 12 of the 18 children at Imanuel Christian Kindergarten experience suspect based on Denver II examination. Appropriate efforts from healthcare professionals are needed to anticipate further problems resulting from delays. This Community Service (PkM) aimed to increase parental knowledge about age-appropriate stimulation, healthy sleep, and omega-3, and to optimize the development of preschool children through snakes and ladders play therapy. Parents received counseling on the theme "Healthy Sleep, Omega-3, and Stimulation for Preschool Child Development" using lecture and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) methods. Children received TOSS (Healthy Sleep, Omega-3, and Age-appropriate Stimulation) play therapy in three groups. The PkM results showed an increase in knowledge scores about age-appropriate stimulation, healthy sleep, and Omega-3 between before and after attending the counseling (a 3.93 increase in knowledge). Most parents (10 parents) experienced an increase in knowledge. The results of the observations showed that most of the children felt happy, enthusiastic, and followed instructions well, although some children initially had difficulty focusing and wanted to play in their own way.

Abstract

Introduction: The growing elderly population in Indonesia raises health challenges, including chronic diseases and cognitive decline. Informal caregivers play a key role, yet limited knowledge and digital literacy reduce care quality. Method: The CITRA (Innovative Caregiver for the Elderly) program was conducted from July to September 2025 in Pacar Kembang, Surabaya. Twenty informal caregivers participated in health education, Android-based CITRA app training, and door-to-door mentoring. Evaluation used pre- and post-tests analyzed with the Wilcoxon test. Results: Caregivers’ knowledge improved significantly. In the first session, scores rose from 65 ± 10.13 to 82.75 ± 6.58 (p=0.000). In the second, scores increased from 71.5 ± 9.44 to 87.5 ± 8.57 (p=0.005). Skills in basic health checks and app utilization also improved. The CITRA app served as an accessible educational tool, though currently limited to Android devices. Discussion: Capacity improvement supports the active ageing framework and aligns with evidence that technology-based interventions effectively empower families in elderly care. Conclusion: CITRA successfully enhanced caregiver knowledge, skills, and provided a replicable digital innovation to improve elderly quality of life in Indonesia.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major health problem, particularly in rural areas, including Kotabaru Village, Lamala District, Banggai Regency. Low public nutrition knowledge and limited utilization of local foods are contributing factors that exacerbate the risk of stunting in toddlers. This community service activity implemented nutrition education services based on the Isi Piringku guidelines and training in preparing local food-based Supplementary Feeding (PMT) as a preventive intervention strategy. The objective of the activity was to improve the knowledge and skills of the community, particularly mothers of toddlers and integrated health post (Posyandu) cadres, in providing balanced nutritious food to prevent stunting. The activity was held on August 2, 2025, in Kotabaru Village, involving 37 participants consisting of mothers of toddlers, pregnant women, Posyandu cadres, and community leaders. The implementation method included nutrition education, interactive training in preparing local PMT menus, and mentoring. Evaluation was carried out through pre- and post-tests to measure knowledge gains, and observation of PMT preparation practices to assess participant skills. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' nutritional knowledge and an increase in participants' skills in preparing local food-based PMT menus according to balanced nutrition standards. Another output, a local PMT recipe module, has been produced as a sustainable guide for cadres and families. This activity demonstrates that the Isi Piringku (My Plate)-based nutrition education approach, combined with the use of local foods, is effective in improving nutritional literacy and community skills, and has the potential to support sustainable stunting reduction programs at the village level.

Abstract

The proportion of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia, including Mamuju Regency, remains below the national target. Interviews and observations at Bambu Public Health Center revealed that the low coverage of exclusive breastfeeding is influenced by limited knowledge and low self-confidence among breastfeeding mothers. Therefore, continuous educational interventions and mentoring focused on improving maternal self-efficacy are needed, through optimizing the role of Posyandu cadres as community-level supporters. This community service program aimed to enhance cadres’ competencies in exclusive breastfeeding education and lactation practices. The methods employed included needs assessment, provision of educational modules and media, delivery of educational materials, practical demonstrations, counseling simulations, and direct mentoring of cadres in Posyandu settings. The training results showed a significant improvement in cadres’ knowledge, with the average score increasing from 44% in the pre-test to 83.3% in the post-test, and a shift from predominantly poor knowledge to a majority in the good category. Cadres were also able to apply educational skills and sensitively correct breastfeeding practices, while providing essential motivational support to breastfeeding mothers. This improvement in cadres’ competencies is expected to contribute to increased exclusive breastfeeding coverage and improved maternal and child health indicators, highlighting the need for sustainable lactation training and mentoring programs, as well as strengthened cross-sectoral coordination.
