Abstract

Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a major public health challenge in Indonesia, requiring effective community-based preventive strategies. Health education is considered a key intervention for improving public awareness and promoting sustainable dengue prevention practices. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a community health education program in improving knowledge regarding DHF prevention among residents in the working area of UPTD Puskesmas Mekar Sari. Methods: A community-based pre-experimental study using a one-group pre-test and post-test design was conducted among 37 community members. The intervention consisted of a 90-minute health education session delivered through lectures, interactive discussions, demonstrations, and educational leaflets emphasizing the PSN 3M Plus strategy. Participants completed identical knowledge questionnaires before and immediately after the intervention. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize changes in knowledge scores. Results: Before the intervention, 70.3% of participants had poor knowledge and 29.7% had fair knowledge, while none achieved a good knowledge level. Following the intervention, all participants (100%) attained the good knowledge category. The mean knowledge score increased from 8.00 to 12.89, with an average improvement of 4.89 points, indicating a substantial enhancement in participants' understanding of dengue transmission, symptoms, and prevention. Conclusion: Community-based health education effectively improved knowledge of DHF prevention and reinforced community awareness of the PSN 3M Plus strategy. Integrating regular educational activities into primary healthcare programs may strengthen community participation and contribute to sustainable dengue prevention efforts.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus requires long-term pharmacological therapy, yet medication adherence remains a persistent challenge in community settings. Baseline data from 30 patients receiving medicines at Nur Ichsan Pharmacy, Makassar, showed that 43.34% had low adherence, 23.33% moderate adherence, and 33.33% high adherence. This community service program aimed to strengthen patients’ ability to take medication regularly through pharmaceutical education and individualized counseling. The activity used an educational, participatory, and problem-based approach. Its stages included coordination with the pharmacy partner, identification of adherence barriers, interactive education, individual counseling, preparation of medication schedules, selection of reminder strategies, family involvement, and process evaluation using discussion and teach-back. Educational content focused on the purpose of continuous therapy, risks of stopping medication without consultation, management of missed doses, preparation of medicines for travel, use of alarms or pill boxes, and communication with pharmacists or physicians when adverse effects were suspected. The main results showed that baseline adherence findings could be translated into practical and personalized educational messages. Participants actively discussed their difficulties and identified feasible strategies suited to their daily routines. The program produced educational materials, medication schedule cards, adherence-barrier notes, and recommendations for follow-up counseling. Its immediate impact was reflected in improved patient engagement, better recognition of personal barriers, and the availability of practical self-management plans. However, because no quantitative pre-test and post-test were conducted, changes in adherence scores could not be confirmed statistically. In conclusion, pharmacy-based education and counseling were relevant and feasible, but sustained monitoring and structured outcome evaluation are subsequently required.

Abstract

Adolescent mental health problems are increasingly recognized as a major public health concern, particularly because limited mental health literacy, stigma, and inadequate help-seeking behavior may delay early identification and appropriate care. The MENTALCARE program aimed to improve adolescent mental health literacy, strengthen early recognition of psychological problems, promote peer support, and facilitate appropriate referral pathways in Makassar City, Indonesia. The program used a community-based participatory approach with a one-group pretest–posttest evaluation design involving 30 adolescents. Activities included interactive mental health education, discussion, early screening, peer-support strengthening, initial counseling, and referral when further professional assessment was indicated. Educational materials included presentations, modules, infographics, videos, and digital resources, while evaluation focused on changes in mental health literacy and help-seeking knowledge. The mean mental health literacy score increased from 55.5 at pretest to 83.4 at posttest, representing an average improvement of 27.9 points. Participants also gained greater understanding of anxiety and depression symptoms, healthy coping strategies, stigma reduction, peer communication, and available referral pathways. The program benefited community partners by strengthening their capacity to identify adolescents requiring additional support and connect them with appropriate health services. In conclusion, MENTALCARE demonstrates the feasibility of integrating education, early screening, peer support, and referral within a community-based adolescent mental health program. Continued implementation, standardized evaluation, and longer-term follow-up are recommended to strengthen sustainability and assess lasting behavioral and psychological outcomes

This community engagement program aimed to improve adolescent mental health literacy, strengthen early recognition of psychological problems, promote peer support, and facilitate appropriate referral pathways through community-based education and early screening. The program employed a participatory community-based approach with a one-group pretest–posttest evaluation design involving 30 adolescents. Activities included interactive mental health education, guided discussion, early screening, peer-support strengthening, brief counseling, mentoring, and referral when further professional assessment was indicated. Educational media consisted of presentations, modules, infographics, videos, and digital resources. Program effectiveness was evaluated by comparing pretest and posttest mental health literacy scores and assessing participant engagement and understanding of help-seeking pathways. The mean mental health literacy score increased from 55.5 at pretest to 83.4 at posttest, representing an average improvement of 27.9 points. Participants also demonstrated better understanding of anxiety and depression symptoms, adaptive coping strategies, stigma reduction, peer communication, and available referral services. The program additionally strengthened community capacity to identify adolescents requiring further support. In conclusion, community-based mental health education combined with early screening is a feasible promotive and preventive strategy for improving adolescent mental health literacy and facilitating timely referral. Continued implementation and longer-term follow-up are recommended to strengthen sustainability and assess behavioral outcomes.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Independent participants in Indonesia’s National Health Insurance (jaminan kesehatan nasional, JKN) frequently experience difficulties in maintaining regular premium payments due to limited health insurance literacy, irregular household income, and inadequate financial planning. This community engagement program aimed to improve JKN literacy, strengthen family financial management skills, and promote sustainable premium payment compliance among independent JKN participants. The program employed a community-based educational intervention using a pre-test–intervention–post-test design. Activities included interactive JKN literacy education, family budgeting training, premium payment planning, Mobile JKN demonstrations, mentoring, and follow-up evaluation. A total of 40 independent JKN participants completed the program. The mean knowledge score increased from 61.3 ± 10.8 at pre-test to 84.7 ± 8.5 at post-test, representing an improvement of 23.4 points (p< 0.001). In addition, 87.5% of participants were able to prepare a simple monthly family budget, 85.0% successfully developed a realistic JKN premium payment plan, and 90.0% expressed commitment to prioritizing JKN premiums as a routine household expenditure. The program enhanced participants’ capacity to connect health insurance knowledge with practical household financial decision-making. Integrating JKN literacy education with family financial management is therefore a feasible community-based strategy for strengthening payment readiness and supporting continuous JKN membership. Periodic mentoring and longer-term monitoring of actual premium payment behavior are recommended to sustain program benefits.

Abstract

Nutritional problems among pregnant women, toddlers, and children remain an important public health concern, particularly in rural areas where access to accurate nutrition information and routine growth monitoring may be limited. This community service program aimed to improve mothers’ knowledge and awareness regarding balanced nutrition and nutritional status monitoring through contextual education and the utilization of locally available foods in Bonelalo Village, Lasalimu District, Buton Regency, Southeast Sulawesi. The program involved 43 participants consisting of pregnant women, mothers of toddlers, and mothers of children. Activities included pre-test assessment, interactive nutrition education, demonstrations of balanced food preparation using local ingredients, nutritional consumption assistance, and post-test evaluation. Before the intervention, 55.8% of participants had poor nutritional knowledge and 46.5% had low awareness of nutritional status monitoring. After the program, 34.9% demonstrated very good knowledge and 46.5% good knowledge, while 37.2% showed very good awareness and 41.9% good awareness. The proportion of participants with poor knowledge and awareness decreased to 4.6% in each category. The program also strengthened collaboration among the university, village government, health cadres, and local health services, supporting the continuity of nutrition promotion activities. These findings indicate that participatory nutrition education combined with local food demonstrations and community-based assistance can effectively improve mothers’ knowledge and awareness and may support sustainable efforts to prevent nutrition-related problems among mothers and children.
