2025-08-08T05:05:24+00:00

Early marriage remains one of the social issues faced in various regions. Factors that can influence the occurrence of early marriage include limited knowledge about reproductive health, cultural influences, and economic factors. The Village Children’s Forum, as a platform for children’s participation, has a strategic role in reducing early marriage rates, disseminating information, and acting as both pioneers and reporters in the protection of children’s rights. The Learning Harmonization Program is an innovative effort that integrates community-based education with strengthening youths’ understanding of children’s rights, gender equality, reproductive health, and the importance of continuing education. The purpose of implementing this activity is to increase the capacity and active role of the Village Children’s Forum (FAD) in preventing early marriage and to socialize the Learning Harmonization Program to all youth and community members as a means of educating them on children’s rights, reproductive health, and gender equality. The activity is carried out by providing training to all FAD participants and applying the knowledge gained through the Socialization of the Learning Harmonization Program. This community service activity was attended by all 18 members of the FAD. The results of the activity include increased empowerment of the partners in terms of management and community social aspects. Through this training, it is expected that FAD Lembengan will become a driving force in educating peers, encouraging community awareness, and significantly reducing early marriage rates.

Strengthening the Capability of Elderly Cadres in Utilizing EMS (Emergency Medical System) PSC (Public Safety Center) 119 and Stroke Prevention Efforts Through the RiSS (Risk Stroke Score) Stroke Calculation Application in Karangsoko Village in the Trengg

2026-02-12T05:11:52+00:00

Karangsoko Village in Trenggalek Regency has experienced an increasing prevalence of stroke and hypertension, which is exacerbated by limited community awareness of early stroke detection and underutilization of emergency medical services, resulting in delayed treatment. This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of elderly community health workers (cadres) in early stroke detection, utilization of the Public Safety Center (PSC) 119 emergency system, and application of the Risk Stroke Score (RiSS) as a community-based prevention tool. The program was conducted through health education sessions, hands-on training on the RiSS application, simulation of early stroke detection and emergency referral procedures, and evaluation using pre- and post-tests. The results showed a significant improvement in cadres’ knowledge and competencies, with all participants achieving a “good” category after the intervention. Cadres were able to independently assess stroke risk using the RiSS application and demonstrated increased preparedness in activating PSC 119 during emergency situations. This program effectively strengthened the role of elderly cadres in community-based stroke prevention and emergency response. It is recommended that this program be expanded to a wider community and disseminated through scientific publications to support sustainable stroke prevention efforts.

Utilization of Music Therapy as a Complementary Intervention for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients in the Community

2026-04-15T02:05:16+00:00

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease associated with high clinical and psychosocial burden, requiring consistent self-management. Psychological distress and poor sleep quality are common among patients with type 2 DM and may negatively affect glycemic control. Music therapy, as a complementary intervention, is considered safe, affordable, and easy to implement in community settings. This community service program aimed to implement a music therapy intervention and evaluate its short-term effects on distress, sleep quality, and capillary blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 DM. A quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was used. A total of 36 participants were recruited using purposive sampling. The intervention consisted of guided music listening combined with breathing exercises, conducted over four weeks (eight group sessions and daily independent practice). The results showed a decrease in distress scores, improvement in sleep quality, and a reduction in average capillary blood glucose levels after the intervention. These findings indicate that music therapy has the potential to support psychological well-being and metabolic control in patients with DM. In conclusion, music therapy is a feasible and acceptable complementary intervention that can be integrated into community-based diabetes management programs. Further studies with control groups and longer follow-up are recommended.

2026-04-04T05:47:34+00:00

Stunting remains a major public health problem that affects not only children’s physical growth but also their cognitive, motor, and socioemotional development. This condition requires a comprehensive response through a holistic and integrative approach involving families, community health volunteers, health workers, and early childhood education providers. This community service program aimed to improve community knowledge and participation in stunting prevention and management through the HOPES Program in the working area of Kaliwates Primary Health Center, Jember. The program was implemented using a participatory approach consisting of preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages. The target participants included families with stunted children, health cadres, preschool teachers, and health personnel. The intervention was delivered through health education, discussion sessions, training, and practical activities covering stunting, child growth and development stimulation, nutrition, sanitation, anemia, deworming, and the use of tools for early stimulation, detection, and intervention of child development. Program evaluation was conducted using pre test and post test questionnaires and participation observation sheets. The findings showed a significant increase in the mean knowledge score of participants from 60.1 ± 8.3 to 82.5 ± 6.9 with p < 0.001. The proportion of participants with a good level of knowledge increased from 20.0% to 80.0%, while active participation during the activities exceeded 80%. These findings indicate that a participatory approach based on holistic integrative services is effective in strengthening community capacity for stunting prevention and management. Similar programs should be sustained through cross sector collaboration at the primary health care level.

2026-04-30T11:53:02+00:00

Anemia among adolescent girls remains a significant public health problem both globally and nationally. The high prevalence is mainly caused by increased iron requirements during growth and menstruation, as well as low knowledge and adherence to iron supplementation. This community service program aimed to improve knowledge and hemoglobin (Hb) levels among adolescent girls through health education and iron supplementation. The methods included hemoglobin level screening, health education using video and leaflet media, and weekly iron tablet supplementation for two months with regular monitoring. The participants were 50 adolescent girls from Mitra Junior High School, Jember Regency. The results showed a significant improvement in knowledge, with the proportion of good knowledge increasing from 0% to 16%, and poor knowledge decreasing from 66% to 6%. In addition, hemoglobin levels improved, with normal Hb increasing from 40% to 64%, and anemia prevalence decreasing from 60% to 36%. In conclusion, the combination of education and iron supplementation is effective in improving knowledge and hemoglobin status among adolescent girls. However, further efforts are needed, including adherence monitoring, continuous nutrition education, and multisectoral involvement to optimize anemia prevention programs.
