Optimalisasi Kelas Ibu Hamil melalui Edukasi Kesehatan, Demonstrasi PMT, dan Senam Hamil sebagai Upaya Peningkatan Pengetahuan dan Keterampilan Ibu Hamil di Kalurahan Tridadi, Sleman
Maternal and child health remains a major public health priority. Based on coordination with the Sleman Primary Health Center and community health volunteers in Tridadi Village, several challenges were identified, including low participation in the Pregnant Women Class Program, limited knowledge of pregnancy danger signs and appropriate complementary feeding practices, and inadequate involvement of husbands in supporting maternal health. These conditions highlight the need for community-based educational interventions that enhance both knowledge and practical skills among pregnant women and their families. This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of pregnant women through the implementation of a Pregnant Women Class Program in Tridadi Village, Sleman Regency. The program was conducted on March 15, 2025, during a single four-hour session using a community empowerment approach that integrated health education, interactive discussions, educational videos, complementary feeding (CF) demonstrations, and pregnancy exercise practice. The program involved 12 pregnant women and their husbands, with support from community health volunteers and healthcare professionals from the Sleman Primary Health Center. Program effectiveness was evaluated using pretest–posttest knowledge assessments, observation of participants’ practical skills, and participant satisfaction surveys. The average knowledge score increased from 57.5 before the intervention to 86.3 after the intervention. Participants achieved an average practical skill score of 83.3% in complementary feeding preparation and 93.8% in pregnancy exercise performance. Furthermore, participant satisfaction reached a mean score of 4.82 out of 5. The Pregnant Women Class Program effectively improved participants' knowledge and practical skills and contributed to strengthening the capacity of pregnant women and family support in promoting maternal and neonatal health at the community level.

Program GEMBIRA: Intervensi Edukatif Berbasis Komunitas untuk Meningkatkan Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat pada Anak Usia Sekolah di Desa Sukorambi, Jember
Diarrheal diseases among school-aged children in rural areas remain a public health challenge, driven by low Clean and Healthy Behaviour (PHBS) practices and limited sanitation facilities. This community service project aimed to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of the GEMBIRA (Gerakan Membiasakan Bersih dan Rajin pada Anak) program in improving health knowledge, attitudes, and PHBS skills among elementary school children in RW 08 Krajan Hamlet, Sukorambi Village, Jember Regency. The activity utilized a Community-Based Behavioral Intervention approach, integrating promotive education, participatory learning, and community empowerment. The intervention was conducted between August and September 2025 at the RW 08 Community Hall, structured into four sequential sessions (visual education, CTPS and toothbrushing simulation, group health quiz, and creative drawing). A total of 22 children aged 6–12 years were selected via purposive sampling. Quantitative evaluation was performed using repeated measurements (Pre-Test to Post-Test Session 4) adapted from the Indonesian Ministry of Health guidelines and analysed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. Qualitative findings were gathered through observational performance checklists. The GEMBIRA program was successfully executed with a 100% attendance rate. Inferential analysis demonstrated statistically significant improvements (p<0.05) across all evaluated indicators: diarrhea knowledge (p=0.001), toothbrushing knowledge (p=0.002), healthy snack consumption habits (p=0.001), and handwashing with soap/CTPS behaviour (p=0.003). Qualitatively, participants demonstrated spontaneous independence by correctly performing the 6-step CTPS technique prior to sessions without prompting. The GEMBIRA program is proven effective as a community-based educational intervention model to enhance cognitive capacity and promote healthy habituation among school-aged children. Participating children have the potential to act as peer-educators within their environment. It is recommended that local health cadres, schools, and primary health centers (Puskesmas) conduct routine monitoring and provide supporting sanitation facilities to ensure the long-term sustainability of healthy behaviours.
Edukasi Kesehatan Partisipatif melalui Ceramah Interaktif dan Demonstrasi untuk Meningkatkan Pengetahuan Pencegahan Tuberkulosis pada Masyarakat RW 10 Kricak Tegalrejo
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a public health problem, particularly in densely populated areas with inadequate ventilation. Limited community knowledge regarding TB transmission, prevention, treatment adherence, and stigma toward patients may increase the risk of transmission. This community service activity aimed to improve community knowledge of tuberculosis prevention and treatment adherence. The activity used health education with a participatory approach through interactive lectures, discussions, question-and-answer sessions, and demonstrations. The activity was conducted in RW 10 Kricak Tegalrejo in April 2026 and involved 10 participants. Evaluation was conducted using pretest and posttest assessments to measure changes in knowledge, supported by observation of TB prevention practices. The results showed that the participants' mean knowledge score increased from 78% at pretest to 96% at posttest, representing an 18% increase. Understanding of TB-related stigma also improved from 70% to 90%. All participants (100%) showed an increase in scores, and 90% achieved a minimum posttest score of 80%. Participants were also able to correctly demonstrate cough etiquette and proper mask use. Participatory health education can improve community knowledge of TB prevention and support the development of preventive attitudes and skills at the community level.
Edukasi, Demonstrasi, dan Praktik Menyikat Gigi untuk Meningkatkan Keterampilan Pemeliharaan Kesehatan Gigi dan Mulut pada Anak Usia Sekolah Dasar di Yayasan AL-Kahfi Kota Cirebon
Oral health problems remain a public health challenge among school-aged children, particularly those living in residential care settings where access to health education and supervised healthy behaviors is limited. Preliminary observations at the Al-Kahfi Foundation in Cirebon indicated that several children had not yet practiced proper toothbrushing techniques, potentially increasing their risk of oral health problems. This community service program aimed to improve children's initial understanding and basic skills in maintaining oral health through interactive education, toothbrushing demonstrations, and supervised practice. The program was conducted at the Al-Kahfi Foundation, Cirebon, in August 2025 and involved 30 children aged 6–12 years. The intervention consisted of oral health education using dental models (phantoms), demonstrations of proper toothbrushing techniques, guided toothbrushing practice, and evaluation through oral questioning and direct observation of participants' toothbrushing techniques. All participants completed the activity with a 100% attendance rate. Based on observations during the evaluation and practice sessions, most participants were able to explain the importance of oral hygiene, identify the appropriate timing for toothbrushing, and demonstrate proper toothbrushing techniques according to the instructions provided. The educational and demonstration activities provided benefits in supporting participants' initial understanding and basic skills related to oral health maintenance. This visual-kinesthetic educational approach has the potential to serve as a promotive and preventive oral health promotion model that can be replicated in orphanages and other child residential care institutions with similar characteristics. The foundation management is encouraged to integrate supervised daily toothbrushing into children's routines and collaborate with the local primary healthcare center for regular oral health education and monitoring.
Optimalisasi Mutu Pelayanan Rekam Medis melalui Edukasi, Pelatihan, Pendampingan, dan Implementasi Sistem Informasi Manajemen Klinik bagi Petugas PMB Jurusan Kebidanan Poltekkes Kemenkes Yogyakarta
Quality medical record services are an important component in supporting the efficiency and quality of healthcare delivery. A preliminary assessment at the Independent Midwifery Practice (PMB), Department of Midwifery, Poltekkes Kemenkes Yogyakarta, identified several problems, including the continued use of manual medical record documentation, suboptimal utilization of computers, relatively long registration service times, and limited storage capacity for medical record documents. This community service program aimed to improve staff knowledge and competency regarding Electronic Medical Records (EMR) through education, training, mentoring, and implementation of a Clinic Management Information System (SiKlik), while improving the quality of registration services. The program was conducted from March to October 2024 using a blended approach and involved 12 staff members at the Independent Midwifery Practice (PMB), Department of Midwifery, Poltekkes Kemenkes Yogyakarta. The activities included EMR education, demonstration and hands-on practice in using SiKlik, mentoring during system implementation in the registration process, and evaluation using pretest and posttest assessments. Service quality was evaluated through a satisfaction survey involving 30 patients who had received services before and after EMR implementation. The results showed that the mean staff knowledge score increased by 24 points, from 65 at pretest to 89 at posttest. All participants (100%) were able to operate the basic functions of SiKlik, and system utilization in daily services reached 100%. The implementation of SiKlik also improved registration service efficiency, with the mean service time decreasing from 35 minutes to 15 minutes. All patients (100%) reported that the service was faster, and overall patient satisfaction reached 100%. The education, training, mentoring, and implementation of SiKlik demonstrated positive outcomes in improving staff competency, service efficiency, and patient satisfaction. The implementation of a Clinic Management Information System can support the transition from manual to electronic medical records and contribute to improving the quality of services at the Independent Midwifery Practice (PMB), Department of Midwifery, Poltekkes Kemenkes Yogyakarta.
