Optimalisasi Tim UKS tentang Kespro di SMP Pertiwi 1 Kota Jambi
Reproductive health (Kespro) is an important aspect that should be introduced from adolescence, as this period is a transition to adulthood marked by physical, psychological, and social changes. A lack of understanding of reproductive health can lead to risky behavior among adolescents. This community service activity was carried out at SMP Pertiwi 1 Kota Jambi with the aim of optimizing the role of the School Health Unit (UKS) in improving students’ knowledge of reproductive health. The method used was health education through counseling, interactive presentations, and group discussions. The activity was conducted from March to August 2025. Evaluation was carried out using pre-test and post-test instruments administered to 10 UKS team students. The results showed that before education, the students’ level of knowledge was in the good category for 8 students (80%), sufficient for 2 students (20%), and poor for 0 students (0%). After education, students’ knowledge improved to the good category for all 10 students (100%), while sufficient and poor categories were not found (0%). Although most students already have good knowledge, there are still 20% of students with sufficient knowledge. Education is needed to align the understanding of all members of the Health and Safety Team, prevent information gaps between students, and ensure all participants have correct and standardized knowledge. These findings indicate a significant improvement in students’ knowledge after receiving education. Thus, this activity proves that reproductive health education through the optimization of the UKS team is effective in increasing knowledge and creating positive changes before and after implementation. It is expected that similar programs can be carried out sustainably so that students gain adequate provisions to maintain reproductive health from an early age.

Edukasi Antropometri pada Ibu Hamil Sebagai Upaya Prevensi Stunting di Dayeuh Kolot, Jawa Barat
Stunting is a chronic nutritional issue that hampers children's growth, characterized by height below the standard set by the World Health Organization (WHO). The primary cause is prolonged malnutrition, especially during the first 1,000 days of life—from pregnancy until the child turns two. In Indonesia, stunting has become a national priority due to its long-term impact on human resource quality and the country’s future. According to the 2022 Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey (SSGI), national stunting prevalence stands at 21.6%, while West Java reports 20.2%. In Bandung Regency, including Dayeuhkolot area, stunted children are still found, often due to inadequate monitoring during pregnancy and low maternal awareness about nutritional health. Efforts to reduce stunting should not focus only on toddlers but also prioritize early prevention during pregnancy. Maternal health—encompassing nutritional status, blood pressure, weight, and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC)—plays a crucial role in determining the risk of delivering low birth weight (LBW) babies, a major stunting risk factor. However, many pregnant women lack knowledge of how to use basic health measurement tools like MUAC tapes, weight scales, and blood pressure monitors. Through this community service program, the team will conduct health education and practical training sessions for pregnant women at Posyandu 08 Melati, Citeureup Village, Dayeuhkolot. The initiative aims to improve maternal health literacy, equip participants with skills to use health tools, and raise early detection awareness for stunting prevention. A participatory, community-based approach will be applied to ensure sustainable impact in line with the government’s national stunting reduction agenda.
