Abstract

The issue of plastic waste in Indonesia has become a serious challenge in environmental management. Palembang City, particularly 20 Ilir III Subdistrict, faces plastic waste problems due to high population density and low public awareness of waste management. Improperly disposed plastic waste contributes to environmental pollution, potentially reducing the quality of life. Therefore, education and innovation are needed to reduce household plastic waste. This community service activity utilized education and training methods conducted at Bougenville Posyandu, under the working area of Talang Ratu Public Health Center. Education was provided through counseling on the impacts of plastic waste and practical training on recycling innovations to reduce household plastic waste. Evaluation was carried out using pre-test and post-test assessments to measure participants' knowledge improvement. The results indicated an increase in community understanding of plastic waste management. The average knowledge score before the intervention was 6.58, which increased to 7.69 after the intervention. Statistical tests showed a significant difference (p < 0.05) between pre- and post-education, confirming the program's effectiveness in raising awareness. This activity successfully improved community understanding of plastic waste management. Education and training on plastic waste processing innovations can be an effective strategy to reduce environmental pollution. As a recommendation, similar educational programs should be implemented sustainably by involving more community groups and receiving support from the government and private sectors to create a cleaner and more sustainable environment.

Abstract

Chronic diseases such as high uric acid (hyperuricemia) are one of the increasing public health problems in Indonesia. Early detection through uric acid level examination is one of the important preventive efforts to reduce the risk of chronic complications such as kidney disease and hypertension. This community service activity aims to increase public knowledge and screen uric acid levels as a promotive and preventive measure. The activity was carried out in Gunungsari Village, Batu City with the involvement of the community. The methods used include health education, knowledge pre-posttest, and uric acid level checks using digital tools. Data was collected through observation, questionnaires, and recording of examination results. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' understanding after education and the discovery of several individuals with uric acid levels above normal, who were then given further education. This activity shows that a community-based participatory approach is effective in raising awareness and prevention of chronic diseases. Similar activities can be developed sustainably through synergy between academics and local health cadres.

Abstract

The main objective of this community service is to explore and evaluate the effectiveness of educational strategies at the Pulmonary Clinic, RSUD Kota Mataram, in increasing awareness and understanding of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) among outpatient patients. The background underlying this research is the global health issue caused by TB, an infectious disease that can be potentially fatal if not properly addressed. With a high prevalence, especially in developing countries like Indonesia, and support from the World Health Organization (WHO), effective educational interventions are needed to raise public awareness. The method used in this community service includes interactive counseling utilizing PowerPoint presentations that contain basic information and visuals related to TB, as well as the distribution of educational brochures. Education is provided at the Outpatient Pulmonary Clinic with the aim of creating a participatory discussion environment and encouraging active patient involvement. The results of community service show a significant increase in participants' awareness and understanding of TB. There has been a positive change in attitudes towards smoking habits and physical activity, as well as the emergence of initiatives for community discussion groups focusing on lung health. These findings indicate that visual-based educational materials strengthen understanding and the strategic role of community groups in promoting healthy behaviors. The conclusion of the interactive and participatory educational approach at the Pulmonary Clinic is that it is effective in changing behavior and increasing lung health awareness at the community level. This program impacts individual understanding and encourages the formation of social support networks that play a role in adopting healthy lifestyles, as well as providing evidence of the importance of the sustainability of similar programs in reducing TB cases.

Abstract

The tourism industry often faces various problems, both medical and non-medical, that can hinder its growth and negatively impact the host community. To tackle these challenges and promote healthier tourism, a community service was conducted in the Senteluk village of West Lombok to identify medical issues, specifically focusing on diarrhea. The goal of this activity was to intervene and address the factors contributing to this medical problem in the Senteluk Village tourist area. To prioritize the issue, a Delbecq diagnosis method was used along with data collection through informed consent and questionnaires in August 2023. An intervention was then implemented, which included various approaches, such as promotive, preventive, and rehabilitative measures, targeting 177 residents. Promotive activities involved community outreach on waste disposal and cleaning, while preventive measures included the implementation of the BASNO (Zero Open Defecation) Program, teaching residents how to make oral rehydration solutions (ORS), and increasing awareness about the first treatment of diarrhea. Additionally, rehabilitative efforts include providing supplementary feeding in the form of eggs, milk, and vitamins to prevent the recurrence of diarrhea. The intervention also integrated community empowerment strategies to ensure the long-term sustainability of the implemented service activities through engagement with local stakeholders and officers to continue educating residents on good sanitation practices and early disease detection.

Abstract

Coastal areas are vulnerable to environmental pollution, especially from plastic waste. One innovative solution that can be applied is to use plastic waste in ecobricks, which are solid plastic bottles containing non-biodegradable plastics that can be used as environmentally friendly building materials. This community service activity aims to improve the understanding and skills of the coastal community of Tanjung Karang Beach in making ecobricks through education and direct practice. The methods used included interactive education on the impact of plastic waste and ecobrick making techniques, which 21 participants attended. Evaluation is carried out through a pre-test and post-test to measure knowledge improvement. The results of the pre-test showed that the majority of participants had low knowledge (57.14% in the "Less" category and 28.57% in the "Very Less" category). After the intervention, the post-test results showed a significant improvement, with 28.57% of participants achieving the "Excellent" category and 66.67% the "Good" category. These results show that ecobrick training has proven effective in increasing coastal communities' understanding of plastic waste management and the implementation of sustainable environmental solutions.

Abstract

Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) is a major health issue in Rusunawa Selagalas, driven by inadequate ventilation and smoking behavior. The objective of this community service, to identify priority health problems, analyze major risk factors, and implement an educational intervention (“SEGAR”) to reduce ARI risk. Community diagnosis was conducted through direct observation, structured questionnaires (n=91), and priority setting using the Delbecq method with resident participation. Main variables included ventilation, smoking, and ARI incidence. Descriptive (univariate) analysis was performed. ARI was reported in 80.22% of residents, with poor ventilation and smoking as dominant risk factors. The SEGAR education program improved awareness of ventilation hygiene and smoking hazards. Community-based education combined with basic housing improvements is effective in mitigating ARI risk in dense housing. Sustained collaboration between residents, housing managers, and local government is recommended.

Abstract

Hypertension is a significant public health concern both in Indonesia and globally. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as stroke, coronary heart disease, and kidney failure, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality rates. The condition is influenced not only by genetic factors but also strongly affected by lifestyle and environmental factors. High salt intake, low fiber consumption, smoking habits, physical inactivity, and stress are dominant contributors to hypertension incidence in communities. This community service aimed to educate residents of Nipah Timur on healthy dietary patterns and simple physical activities to mitigate hypertension risks. The Delbecq method was utilized for diagnosis, collecting data through direct observation and structured questionnaires. Subsequently, interventions were conducted using promotive and preventive approaches involving 65 community members. Educational activities included using calendars that provided information on dietary habits and physical exercise routines to boost activity levels. The intervention also emphasized the importance of good sanitation and early disease detection through ongoing education. Findings indicated that hypertension in the Nipah Timur tourist hamlet primarily results from non-medical factors such as poor dietary habits and insufficient physical activity, which contribute to long-term elevated blood pressure. This study highlights the value of community-based health education using accessible media to foster behavioral changes aimed at preventing and controlling hypertension.

Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus are major causes of illness and death among productive age populations. The main risk factors for NCDs include high blood pressure and uncontrolled blood glucose levels. Sukoharjo Regency continues to face a high burden of NCDs. In 2022, there were 263,830 recorded cases of hypertension and 17,547 cases of diabetes mellitus. A 2024 study also reported a hypertension prevalence of 20.50% and diabetes mellitus prevalence of 70.20%. This community service activity aimed to conduct early detection and prevention efforts for non-communicable diseases through blood pressure and random blood glucose examinations among productive-age residents in Banmati Village, Sukoharjo. The examination involved 69 respondents aged 25–60 years, selected using a purposive sampling method. Data were collected through direct health examinations and structured interviews. The results showed that 43.50% of respondents had random blood glucose levels above 120 mg/dL, and 26.10% had blood pressure above 120/80 mmHg. These findings indicate that a considerable proportion of productive-age residents are at high risk for hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Through this activity, the community received education on the importance of regular health check-ups, balanced diet, physical activity, and stress management as preventive measures against NCDs.
