Abstract

Body image is a perception of how someone sees and thinks about their body. Teenagers are more interested in their body shape and this will have an impact on their self-confidence. Teenagers' dissatisfaction with their bodies can encourage them to adopt the wrong diet in an effort to get the ideal body shape. Body image is one of the factors that influences nutritional status. Teenagers tend to easily experience stress which may be caused by problems at school or in their friendship environment. In-depth knowledge is needed so that teenagers can manage their stress well. Based on reports from School Z, around 100% of teenagers have never received counseling regarding nutritional status and stress management. This activity aims to provide students with in-depth knowledge and understanding regarding body image and stress management. The counseling was carried out in August 2023 and involved class 10 students at Z High School as the main target. Counseling is delivered through PowerPoint, leaflets and posters. The students fill in the pre-test and post-test questions to be used as evaluation material for this activity. There is an increase in the minimum knowledge score, namely 0 (zero) during the pre-test to 60 during the post-test. The community service team hopes that after the activities take place, teenagers will be able to independently monitor nutritional status and manage stress.

Abstract

The healthy life expectancy at birth in Indonesia was recorded at 3.8. This figure was influenced by the care provided during pregnancy, childbirth, and the neonatal period. The aim of this community service was to deliver optimal midwifery care to infants to enhance sleep quality, alleviate fussiness, boost appetite, and promote weight gain, ultimately improving the overall health status of the infants. The community service activity took place on Friday, November 10, 2023, in Lantojaya village, targeting infants aged 0 to 23 months. The procedures implemented included assessment, planning, action, and evaluation. Among the 12 infants who received baby massage, behavioral changes were observed before and after the intervention: full-body movements increased from 66.7% to 100%; visual attention improved in 91.7% of the infants; non-nutritive sucking rose by 25%; object-holding activity reached 100%; and self-touching behavior was noted in 91.7% of the infants. The conclusion drawn from this community service was that baby massage had a relaxing effect on infants. Therefore, it is recommended that families regularly perform baby massage, either independently or with assistance from healthcare professionals.

Abstract

Breast and cervical cancer are the main types of cancer which are the largest contributors to all types of cancer in women. This community service aims to increase the knowledge of posyandu cadres in early detection of breast cancer. Posyandu cadre training is carried out for 8 hours per meeting and assistance for Posyandu cadres is carried out for 4 hours per meeting. A cadre of 10 people was prepared with the criteria for women of childbearing age who visited the posyandu after which they performed a breast phantom set. This research was conducted at the Salero Community Health Center in June 2023. The methods used included face-to-face lectures, questions and answers, and demonstrations with 10 posyandu cadres involved. The results of the research showed an increase in cadre knowledge, where before being given exposure to material and practice, only 10% of participants had sufficient knowledge, whereas after being given exposure to material and practice, good knowledge increased to 90%. The skill level of cadres was also very poor before being given exposure to material and practice where cadres with less knowledge reached 80%, and cadre skills increased after being given exposure to material and practice with cadres with good skills as much as 90%. Conclusion: The implication of the research is that cadre mentoring can be used as an appropriate method to increase cadres' knowledge and skills for breast self-examination.

Abstract

Adequate fluid intake is associated with students' attention, memory function, and cognitive performance. Sekolah Alam Ar Royyan, one of the schools highlighted in the G20, needs assistance with students' low water drinking behavior. The hydration team's preliminary research found that most students were mild-moderate dehydrated, which was closely related to action. This activity aims to build awareness of the school and its community to build a culture of drinking enough water at school. The method used was action research involving school administrators, students, and teachers. The researcher identifies specific problems, collects relevant data, analyzes the data, and then decides on the needed actions to overcome these problems. After implementing a series of activities, the team conducted the evaluation. The results showed that eight out of ten students were moderately dehydrated, had low water drinking habits at school, and had limited availability of clean drinking water. After conducting activities with a participatory approach, water drinking at school began to increase, although yet to be significant, and the school has provided drinking water in gallons that students can access while at school in each classroom. This activity concludes that there has been an increase in awareness from the entire school academic community about fulfilling the adequacy of students' drinking water at school.

Abstract

Iron deficiency anemia is a common nutritional problem encountered among adolescents. Approximately 30% of the world's population, especially in developing countries, suffers from anemia. Adolescent girls are prone to iron deficiency anemia because they experience menstruation periodically, requiring additional iron to compensate for the blood loss during menstruation. Iron is needed for the production of hemoglobin in the body. The status of anemia can be determined through changes in hemoglobin levels. One effort to prevent anemia is by consuming Iron Supplement Tablets (IST). The purpose of this activity is to assess the level of knowledge among adolescent girls regarding anemia as an effort to prevent stunting. This activity involves not only lectures and question-and-answer sessions but also health education utilizing attractive promotional media such as posters related to anemia. The results of health education show that there is an increase in the level of knowledge among adolescent girls regarding anemia as an effort to prevent stunting before and after health education, from 66% to 100%. One tangible form of increased knowledge among adolescent girls is the routine consumption of iron supplement tablets (IST), one tablet per day during menstruation and one tablet per week when not menstruating.

Abstract

During its progression, a stunted kid will have challenges with cognitive development and educational failure, which slows down the child's capacity to absorb knowledge and, eventually, leads to low productivity as an adult. The nutritional health of pre-school children should be carefully monitored since this era is crucial as it sets the stage for a child's future growth. Educating parents of preschool-aged children on the need of a healthy diet in warding off stunting is the overarching goal of this community service (Pengabmas) project. Lectures, Q&A sessions, and group discussions were the means of instruction for this task. Fifty participants from the working area of the Dungingis Health Center in Tolitoli Regency who are parents of preschool-aged children will be the focus of this program. Knowledge increased from 38% to 85% according to the findings of the post-test that was administered. Parents' understanding of the need of a healthy diet for pre-schoolers has grown as a result of this educational activity. The goal of the nutrition program at the Dungingis Community Health Center is to help parents better understand how to meet their pre-school children's nutritional needs by educating them about balanced nutrition at least once every three months.

It was carried out from March 13 to June 25, 2024. The target participants were maternal health cadres in the working area of the Managaisaki City Public Health Center (Puskesmas), Tolitoli, totaling eight individuals.Post-test results indicated an increase in knowledge from 43% to 86%, and an improvement in skills from 60% to 100%. Furthermore, after three months of monitoring, the number of pregnant women with CED decreased from 16 to 14.It can be concluded that this educational activity successfully improved pregnant women’s nutritional awareness for CED prevention and enhanced the cadres' skills in measuring MUAC and BW. It is recommended that the Managaisaki City Health Center schedule annual training for health cadres who have not yet received any, as an effort to provide updated information or continued coaching for trained cadres, and to reinforce previously delivered training materials.
