Empowering Posyandu Cadres Through Positive Parenting Psychoeducation to Safeguard Children From Stunting
No full textIndonesia’s demographic bonus for the millennial generation is starting to increase. However, the quality of nutrition and health of Indonesian children is threatened by cases of stunting in several regions in Indonesia without specialized assistance from posyandu cadres as the frontline educators for parents. This community service research aimed to explore posyandu cadres' understanding of the value of positive parenting to prevent stunting through a Psychoeducation Program design. This activity program involved psychoeducational interventions using lectures, discussion, and role-play of positive parenting practices. The Positive Parenting Psychoeducation Activities were carried out involving 39 Posyandu Cadres in Ringu Rara Village, Lamboya Sub-District, West Sumba District, East Nusa Tenggara Province (N = 20) and Posyandu Cadres in Tirtoadi Village, Mlati Sub-District, Sleman District, Special Region of Yogyakarta Province (N = 19). A psychoeducation program evaluation using the open-ended questionnaire was administered before (pre-test) and after (post-test) lecture sessions, discussion sessions, and Positive Parenting training sessions. Subsequently, the trainers continued with Focused Group Discussion sessions for the follow-up stage of the training. Using a qualitative approach to thematic analysis techniques and cross-tabulations, the authors searched for themes that emerged from the questionnaire responses data and recorded focus group discussion transcripts. Besides, the data organization was also carried out with the help of the MAXQDA 2020 Application. The thematic analysis results generated three main themes around Positive Parenting Psychoeducation activities, namely Posyandu Cadres with their tasks and challenges, Positive Parenting to prevent stunting, and Positive Parenting Psychoeducation follow-up plans. The conclusion drawn from the results of this activity was that the family-household factor of parenting patterns can influence stunting. Posyandu cadres need positive parenting psychoeducation to be able to share information with, assist, monitor, and help parents of children with stunting indications
Boosting Competitiveness: Digital Branding of The Sreseh Mangrove Tourism Spot in Marparan Village
No full textTourism acts as a conduit for enhancing the economic conditions of villages located near tourist destinations. Sreseh Mangrove Tourism (WMS) inMarparan Village is a recently established tourist destination in Sampang Regency. The Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis) faces various obstacles in managing and conserving nature. These factors encompass the local population’s limited level of technology skills and the absence of digital branding as a means of promotion. Digital branding is a very efficient promotional tool in the current technology age due to its ability to engage with social media users rapidly. Producing captivating content is essential as it has a favorable impact on public opinion and draws people to tourist destinations. In order to tackle this issue, we have established a program aimed at improving Pokdarwis’ proficiency in utilizing technology for promotional purposes. This curriculum encompasses instruction, development, and support in the realm of digital branding. The program was successfully implemented, substantially enhancing participants’ proficiency in generating digital material. The participants’ videos were posted on Marparan Village’s Instagram page. There are potential prospects for creating a mobile application in the future that includes digital content videos, digital promotions, and a directory of rental and vacation choices
Assessment of Physical and Chemical Quality Standards for Water and Sanitation Disclosure Towards SDG 6: A Study in Wijimulyo, Nanggulan, Kulon Progo Regency
No full textCollaboration between academics, educators, students, village civil servants, and the community is needed to implement Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6. It is related to clean water and sanitation in the context of training vocational teachers and students to provide it to the community. First, measurements were made of the water quality around the research area. Sixty-three water samples were drawn from each resident's home's water supply. A multi-parameter water quality checker was used to evaluate the samples, and then spatial data processing was used. A temperature of 24.1 C, turbidity of 0.4 NTU, conductivity of 0.4 mS/cm, pH 7.1, salinity of 0.2 ppt, DO of 5.9 mg/l, and TDS value of 267 mg/l were measured. These average results indicate that the water quality satisfies both Indonesian National Standard 3553:2015 and the water quality criteria set by the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Regulation No. 2 Year 2023. However, the results of tracking every sampling location show that several samples fall short of water quality requirements because of the high mineral content, weather, and other factors. Every school and community organization needs to run scenarios to raise awareness about water quality standards involving the government, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector to implement SDGs 6, such as stakeholder engagement, community enhancement, and policy and regulation

The Development of an IoT-Based Palm Solid Waste Counting System for Empty Fruit Bunches in the Palm Oil Industry
No full textThe recent application of palm empty fruit bunches as solid waste directly on soil or as organic fertilizer has enhanced palm farms. Moreover, the co-products of this palm oil mill constitute a dependable metric for assessing mill processing performance, specifically regarding quantity and weight. The quantity of palm empty fruit bunches is usually ascertained through manual counting using a hand counter during processing. The imprecision in calculating palm empty fruit bunches is a limitation of this method, as operators sometimes perform erroneous calculations, overlook quantities, and produce contradictory results for mill management. To address this issue, the sector requires enhanced execution of a monitoring and counting system methodology. The aim of this community service project is to create an empty fruit bunches count station using an IoTbased palm solid waste counting system for use in palm mills. The Ministry of Industry - Politeknik Teknologi Kimia Industri (PTKI) Medan will engage in and oversee the advancement of Industry 4.0 within the industrial sector. The initiative was executed at Tanah Gambus Estate in Batubara Regency, North Sumatra. Assistance was provided by a palm mill partner associated with PT. Socfin Indonesia. The implementation of the empty fruit bunches palm oil counting system was conducted efficiently, facilitating optimal operations, real–time online monitoring, uninterrupted functionality exceeding 24 hours daily, swift assessment of the empty fruit bunches volume, immediate identification of traditional counting inaccuracies by operators and management, and its station provides benefits to the palm industry

Breast Cancer Prevention Education Through Community Empowerment and TPS (Transactional, Precise, and Skilled) Communication Model in Bontang City
No full textThe prevalence of breast cancer in Indonesia is still increasing. Data from the Global Cancer Observatory shows that the most common cancer case in Indonesia is breast cancer. Meanwhile, the incidence of breast and cervical cancer in Bontang City reaches 30% of the overall cancer data in Bontang (Akurasi.id, 2024). Therefore, there is a need for a health promotion campaign and breast cancer prevention using simple communication methods. This program aimed to provide education to health cadres (PKK) in three sub-districts of Bontang, targeting 100 participants. Five sub-districts were selected from each of the three sub-districts, with seven participants sampled from 10 sub-districts and six participants sampled from five sub-districts. Participants were selected using purposive sampling. The program employed a participatory research approach based on community empowerment, using the TPS (Transactional, Precise, and Skilled) communication model. The program was conducted in three stages. In the first stage, theoretical information related to breast cancer and its prevention was provided, along with 100 questions and answers shared online beforehand. The second stage involved practicing breast self-examination (SADARI). The third stage combined theory and practice, incorporatingeducational strategies through games and evaluations. The program results showed that 83% of participants agreed that knowledge about breast cancer and its prevention was necessary. The program successfully improved the knowledge and attitudes of PKK/health cadres through an interactive, participatory approach. Although there were barriers related to participant agility, support from trained organizers proved effective in overcoming them. These findings confirm the importance of health education that emphasizes two-way communication and breast cancer prevention

No full textCentral Java ranks fourth among regions for the highest number of diabetes melitus (DM) cases, following Jakarta, Yogyakarta, and East Kalimantan. Grogol District in Sukoharjo Regency had the greatest prevalence of DM cases in 2019, accounting for 18.41% of the total. Diabetes melitus significantly impairs the overall well-being of individuals as it affects individuals across all age groups, including those who can work and those who cannot. If left unmanaged, it can lead to a range of outcomes. The Karanglo Village community is considered at high risk for diabetes melitus (DM) due to a history of health ailments and elevated blood glucose levels. Furthermore, this region is still lacking any health education interventions. This activity aimed to do earlier screening and monitoring of blood sugar levels, as well as providing health education, using the SEE approach (Screening, Health Education, and Exercise) to monitor diabetes melitus. The program was implemented in the period from November 2023 to January 2024, which includes a total of 27 participants, all of whom are female. The implementation of the programs involves the following methods: conducting blood sugar level screenings, engaging in diabetes exercises twice a week, providing health education in six meetings that cover topics such as the epidemiology and etiology, risk factors and prevention, symptoms and diagnosis, complications and management of DM, as well as blood glucose monitoring. Apart from using tools in the form of presentation slides, health education also utilized educational posters. At the end of the program, there was an increase in knowledge by 21.5% (p=0.024) based on pretest and posttest scores, improvements in blood sugar levels, total cholesterol levels, and body mass index. To follow up on the program, a group of independent blood sugar observers has been formed who is responsible for further monitoring blood sugar in program participants
