Nutrition Education and Sweetened Beverages as an Effort to Prevent Overnutrition and Non-Communicable Diseases in Adolescents
Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) are drinks that contain added sugar or other sweeteners, which, if consumed excessively over a long period of time, can increase the risk of non-communicable diseases. The 2023 Indonesia Health Survey reported that 48.6% of adolescents aged 15–19 years consumed SSBs 1–6 times per week. Easy access to SSBs contributes to frequent consumption. Muhammadiyah Senior High School Cileungsi is one example of a school with wide access to SSBs, available in the canteen, school cooperative, and vendors around the school. Nutrition and SSB education activities are therefore needed to improve knowledge and support the prevention of overweight and non-communicable diseases. The results of the activity showed that prior to education, all students had consumed SSBs, with an average frequency of 1–3 times per week, while many reported daily consumptions, even more than once per day. Following the educational intervention, a positive change in students’ knowledge was observed, as reflected in an increased percentage of correct answers in most post-test items compared to the pre-test. Continuous education is required to shape adolescents’ attitudes and encourage healthier food and beverage consumption behaviors. Collaboration among families, health professionals, and schools is essential to create a supportive environment through policies aimed at limiting SSB consumption
Health Education on Anaemia Prevention for Adolescent Girls at SMA Negeri 64 Cipayung Jakarta Timur
Global and national data indicate iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a public health problem, particularly for women starting their first menstruation. A study found that anemia among junior middle school students is driven by complex behavioral issues, including self-image, beauty concepts, and health-seeking behaviors that differ from adult women. Efforts to increase literacy regarding the understanding, risks, impacts, and behaviors related to iron deficiency anemia are essential. The challenge of increasing literacy lies in formulating messages and tools that are easily understood and accepted by adolescent girls. Anemia prevention education through the game of snakes and ladders can be implemented in schools and has been proven to significantly improve the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of adolescent girls at SMA Negeri 64 Cipayung. For optimal results, it is recommended to combine the use of the game with conventional counseling as an introduction, followed by a communication campaign via social media using existing e-flyer design, and advocacy to decision-makers in schools and local government officials using the fact-sheets that was also produced from this activity. It is also recommended to synergize this activity with the free school meal, and hemoglobin level check programs at the beginning of each school year, as well as weekly iron supplementation
Character Education Management: Implementation of Anti-Bullying Learning Media in Elementary Schools
Bullying remains a serious problem in elementary schools. Bullying can take both verbal and nonverbal forms, such as teasing, insults, exclusion, and even physical violence. The negative impacts of this behavior include a decreased enthusiasm for learning, impaired student psychological health, and weakened social relationships. Bullying is a common problem in elementary schools and negatively impacts student development. This community service activity aims to reduce bullying behavior through the implementation of character-based learning media, which are integrated into school education management. The program was implemented at SDN Tanjung Barat 04 Pagi, South Jakarta. The methods used included observing media needs, creating learning media (anti-bullying banners, educational posters, and symbol stickers), and declaring an anti-bullying project to students and teachers. The results of the activity showed that students understood the forms of bullying, actively participated in activities, and the school environment became more conducive with the installation of visual learning media. In conclusion, the implementation of simple learning media can increase student awareness of the dangers of bullying and support the formation of a more positive school culture through effective character education management. The educational management approach here involves planning, implementing, and evaluating anti-bullying programs to create a safe and inclusive learning environment

The Relationship between Individual Factors and Occupational Factors with the Risk of LBP (Low Back Pain) in Workers at the Jakarta Provincial Health Office
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2023, LBP (Low Back Pain) is the number one cause of disability in the world, with 619 million sufferers in 2020 and is estimated to increase to 843 million cases in 2050. LBP is often experienced by workers due to non-ergonomic working positions, long working hours, and repetitive activities. This complaint can be caused by various factors, both identifiable and unidentifiable. This study aims to determine the relationship between individual factors (age and gender) and work factors (work position, work period, work duration, and repetition) with the incidence of LBP in employees of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Health Office in 2025. This study used a cross-sectional design with 63 respondents selected through a total sampling technique. The research instrument was a questionnaire whose validity and reliability had been tested using the Chi-Square test at the 95% level. The results of the study showed that individual factors in the form of age and gender and work factors in the form of work duration were not related to the occurrence of LBP, while work factors in the form of work position, work period, and repetitive activities were related to the occurrence of LBP. Research recommendations include efforts to maintain spinal health by paying attention to body position while working, implementing short stretches at certain hours, the 20-20-20 rule, and the preparation of formal regulations in the form of SOPs, SKPs, or Circular Letters to prevent LBP on an ongoing basis
The Relationship between Worker Characteristics and Other Factors with Compliance with the Use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) among Construction Workers in Cilangkap, Jakarta
Occupational safety and health (OSH) is a global issue that remains a major challenge for the employment sector. Based on data from the International Labor Organization (ILO), approximately 2.78 million workers worldwide die annually due to occupational diseases or accidents. Occupational safety and health (OSH) is a crucial aspect in construction projects, particularly in relation to the low use of personal protective equipment (PPE), which increases the risk of occupational accidents. This study aims to analyze the relationship between worker characteristics (age, education), knowledge, attitudes, and other factors (availability of PPE and supervision) with PPE compliance among construction workers in Cilangkap, Jakarta in 2025. The study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. Data were collected through interviews using questionnaires with 60 workers. Bivariate analysis using the chi-square test showed that education (p=0.025), knowledge (p=0.000), and attitudes (p=0.000) had a significant relationship with PPE compliance. Meanwhile, the variables of age (p=0.642), availability of PPE (p=0.643), and supervision (p=1.000) were not related to compliance with PPE use. The results of this study recommend that companies place more emphasis on the education, knowledge, and attitude of workers through brief pre-work briefings (toolbox meetings), regular training with direct practice methods, provision of visual educational media, and the formation of positive attitudes through a culture of mutual reminders among workers to improve work safety
