Abstract

The aging process is associated with a progressive decline in physical, psychological, and social functions, which increases the vulnerability of older adults to personal hygiene and self-care problems. This community service initiative was designed to empower elderly individuals through educational interventions promoting simple and practical self-care of the hair, eyes, nails, and feet. The program was implemented at the “Juara” Elderly School, Lengkong District, Bandung City, in collaboration with the Indonesian Elderly Association (LLI). A participatory learning approach was adopted, combining interactive lectures, focused group discussions, and direct demonstrations to facilitate experiential learning. Evaluation of pre- and post-education assessments revealed a 35% improvement in participants’ knowledge regarding personal hygiene practices. In addition, qualitative observations indicated increased enthusiasm, confidence, and independence among participants in performing self-care routines. The activity demonstrated that structured health education for the elderly can effectively promote healthy aging, reduce dependency, and enhance overall well-being. The outcomes of this program highlight the importance of community-based participatory approaches in empowering the elderly to maintain dignity and quality of life through improved self-care management.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease that is one of the main health problems in the world. The complications that often occur in people with DM are peripheral neuropathy and diabetic foot ulcers, which can reduce the quality of life of sufferers. One effort to prevent these complications is through health education and regular implementation of diabetic foot exercises. The purpose of community service is to increase the knowledge of people with DM regarding disease management and improve their ability to perform diabetic foot exercises to prevent diabetic foot complications. The community service activity was carried out at the Karang Tengah Community Health Center, Garut Regency, involving 50 participants of the Chronic Disease Management Program (PROLANIS). The activity methods included health education about diabetes mellitus, demonstration of diabetic foot exercises, direct practice by participants, and evaluation using pre-test and post-test. Evaluation was carried out on the level of knowledge and complaints of foot pain of participants. Participants were predominantly women (88%) and elderly (64%). The evaluation results showed an increase in knowledge in the good category from 36% before the intervention to 72% after the intervention. Furthermore, the proportion of participants with severe pain decreased from 36% to 22% after participating in diabetic foot exercise training. Health education and diabetic foot exercise training can increase knowledge and reduce foot pain complaints in people with diabetes. This activity can be used as a sustainable promotional and preventive program within the PROLANIS program at community health centers

Abstract

Violence against women remains a global public health and human rights issue that affects women across all age groups, including adolescents. Educational institutions have an important role in creating safe spaces and promoting violence prevention through health education programs. This community service activity aimed to increase junior high school students’ knowledge regarding safe spaces for women and violence prevention through educational interventions. The activity was conducted at one junior high school in Bandung, Indonesia, involving 30 students selected through total sampling. The method used was health education through lectures, discussions, videos, and interactive question-and-answer sessions. Knowledge was measured using pre-test and post-test questionnaires administered before and after the educational session. The results showed that students already had good baseline knowledge before the intervention. However, after the educational activity, there was still an increase in knowledge scores of 0.7%. Students demonstrated better understanding regarding forms of violence, prevention strategies, and the importance of creating safe environments for women and girls. Educational activities in schools can strengthen adolescents’ awareness and attitudes toward violence prevention and support the development of safer school environments. Continuous education programs involving schools, families, and communities are recommended to strengthen sustainable violence prevention efforts among adolescents.

Abstract

Falls are a common health issue among the elderly and can lead to injuries, reduced functional ability, dependency, and a decline in quality of life. The public’s lack of understanding regarding risk factors and preventive measures is one of the barriers to reducing fall incidents at the community level. This community service activity aims to improve public understanding of the importance of maintaining postural stability and taking preventive measures against falls. The activity was conducted in Segeri Subdistrict, Pangkajene and Islands Regency, targeting the general public, particularly the elderly. The methods used included initial assessments using the Fukuda Stepping Test and the Four Square Step Test, education, interactive discussions, and demonstrations of exercises that can be performed independently at home. Based on the results of the Fukuda Stepping Test, the majority of participants fell into the moderate-risk category, totaling 18 people (45%), while 11 people (27.5%) were in the low-risk category and 11 people (27.5%) were in the high-risk category. Based on the Four Square Step Test, the majority of participants were also in the moderate category (17 people, 42.5%), followed by the low category (12 people, 30%) and the high category (11 people, 27.5%). These findings indicate that most participants have a potential for stability issues requiring attention through promotive and preventive efforts. The activity proceeded smoothly and received positive feedback from the participants. This program is expected to raise public awareness of adopting active and safe lifestyles to support independence and quality of life in older adults.

Abstract

Quality antenatal care (ANC) services are crucial for safeguarding the health of pregnant women and their fetuses. However, community participation in providing feedback on the quality of services received still needs to be enhanced as part of efforts to improve healthcare quality. This initiative aimed to increase pregnant women's understanding of ANC service standards, assist the community in evaluating the services received, and identify aspects of service at the Cimalaka Community Health Center (Puskesmas)—located in Sumedang Regency—that require maintenance or improvement. The study employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) method, incorporating educational activities, guidance on completing satisfaction evaluation instruments, interactive discussions, and collaborative reflection among participants, healthcare workers, and the community service team. The program engaged 137 multigravida pregnant women. The results demonstrated that participants gained a better understanding of ANC quality indicators, the importance of adhering to standard ANC visit schedules, and patients' rights to quality healthcare. The service evaluation process provided an opportunity for participants to share their experiences, expectations, and feedback regarding the care they received. The majority of participants rated the ANC services at the Cimalaka Community Health Center positively, particularly regarding staff attentiveness, ease of consultation, and the availability of service facilities. This community service initiative benefited the public by increasing knowledge and engagement in healthcare service evaluation, while also providing valuable input to the health center for the continuous improvement of antenatal care quality
