Penyuluhan Self-Care untuk Meningkatkan Kontrol Glikemik pada Pasien Diabetes Melitus dalam Pencegahan Komplikasi
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease with an increasing prevalence, both globally and nationally. Indonesia ranks fifth in the world with 19.5 million patients, while in Padang City there are 9,471 DM sufferers, the majority in the form of type II Diabetes Mellitus (DMT2). DM not only impacts morbidity, but also decreases the patient's quality of life. Improving self-care capabilities is an important strategy in glycemic control and prevention of long-term complications. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of self-care education on improving the knowledge of DM patients. The educational activity will be carried out in September 2025 with 30 participants aged 31–54 years. The implementation method includes the stages of preparation, counseling, and evaluation. Participants took part in the pre-test, received material presentations by two resource persons from STIKes Garuda Putih with student assistance, then took the post-test and Blood Sugar During (GDS) examination. The results showed a significant increase in respondents' knowledge, with the average pre-test score of 5.1 (SD=1.2) increasing to 8.17 (SD=1.23) at the post-test. This increase indicates that self-care education is effective in improving understanding of DM patients, even though most participants have limited basic education and access to health information. This structured education supports patients' self-care abilities, optimizes glycemic control, and has the potential to improve overall quality of life

Edutainment Si Galang (Gizi Seimbang dan Gigi Cemerlang) sebagai Upaya Zero New Tuberculosis (Tbc) pada Anak
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global health problem with a very high incidence rate. SITB data in 2014 showed that the coverage of TB cases in children was 67%, with a prevalence of 91.2% in East Java and 80.5% in Ponorogo Regency. An interview at SDN 2 Suren, Mlarak District, Ponorogo Regency, revealed that there had been a student infected with mycobacterium tuberculosis. The symptoms that appear in children with TB are often overlooked and tend to resemble other common illnesses, while risk factors such as poor nutritional status and oral health problems further worsen the child’s immune condition. Limited access to information in remote areas has led to suboptimal education about TB and the importance of child health. The community service team carried out an interactive educational program called Edutainment SI GALANG (Balanced Nutrition and Bright Teeth). The activity involved 60 participants, grades I to VI. Pre-test results showed 50% of participants had sufficient knowledge, and 28.3% had insufficient knowledge. This situation illustrates that before the education, most participants did not understand the causes, symptoms, or prevention of TB. Furthermore, post-test results showed a significant increase, with 85% of participants having good knowledge, 11.7% having sufficient knowledge, and only 3.3% having insufficient knowledge. This improvement indicates that children who initially had difficulty answering questions about the causes and symptoms of TB were able to correctly explain how TB is transmitted, how to prevent transmission, and the importance of maintaining personal and environmental hygiene after the activity. This demonstrates that the edutainment-based educational activity successfully increased participants' absorption of the material presented.
Edukasi Kesehatan dan Suplementasi Vitamin di SDN 1 Bunigeulis dan SDN Tundagan Kabupaten Kuningan
Micronutrient deficiencies, including vitamin deficiencies, remain a significant public health challenge in rural areas of Indonesia, particularly among elementary school children. Limited dietary diversity and low nutritional literacy increase children's vulnerability to vitamin deficiencies, which may adversely affect immune function, learning concentration, and physical growth. This community service program aimed to enhance students' understanding of the importance of adequate vitamin intake and to provide vitamin supplementation as a preventive measure. The program was conducted at SDN 1 Bunigeulis, involving 58 students, and SDN Tundagan, involving 54 students, with a total of 112 participants. The activities were implemented through three stages: (1) development of educational materials on vitamins found in fruits and vegetables as well as vitamins that support immune health, (2) delivery of interactive nutrition education sessions, and (3) distribution of vitamin supplements. Educational and communicative methods were employed, utilizing visual approaches and engaging educational games tailored to elementary school students. Program effectiveness was evaluated through observations of all 112 participants. The results indicated that 91.9% of students actively participated in the educational sessions, while 77.6% were able to correctly identify the functions and dietary sources of vitamins. Furthermore, both teachers and students responded positively to the vitamin supplementation program, and no adverse effects were reported. These findings demonstrate that the program was effective in improving students’ nutritional awareness and may serve as a practical and scalable intervention model for elementary schools in rural communities.

Edukasi Cegah Anemia pada Remaja Putri dengan Konsumsi Tablet Tambah darah dan Kurma di Kelurahan Sungai Putri Kota Jambi
Teenagers entering puberty are at high risk of iron deficiency anemia, a condition caused by iron loss during menstruation. This risk increases if dietary iron intake is insufficient. During menstruation, women lose significant amounts of iron-rich blood, reducing their ability to transport oxygen throughout the body. This can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, tiredness, and decreased concentration, which can disrupt daily activities. Providing iron-fortified tablets (IBT) to adolescent girls is one way to address anemia. 80.9% of adolescent girls receive IBT at school, but only 1.4% consume IBT. Survey results show that 95% of adolescents do not consume IBT, and 5% consume IBT but irregularly, citing a lack of symptoms of anemia and the effects of IBT. This community service project aims to provide knowledge about anemia and how to prevent it by consuming IBT and, as a complementary therapy, consuming milk dates to prevent anemia. The method in this activity is lecture, question and answer, the media used is leaflet, the duration of the activity is 60 minutes. This activity was carried out at the Youth Posyandu, Sungai Putri Village, located in the Sungai Putri Village Office Hall, Jambi City in May-July 2023, attended by 40 female participants. An assessment of knowledge about anemia and how to prevent it was carried out before and after counseling using a questionnaire. The results of filling out the questionnaire showed that the average knowledge of adolescents about anemia and its prevention before being given education was 61.88 and after being given education there was an increase in the average knowledge score to 78.25. Providing education can increase this knowledge due to the structured transfer of information, the use of appropriate media and active involvement of participants.

Edukasi Pra-Nikah untuk Mencegah Berat Badan Lahir Rendah (BBLR)
Low Birth Weight (LBW) is an important indicator of infant health and remains a major public health problem, particularly in developing countries. Infants with LBW are at higher risk of neonatal complications, growth and developmental delays, infections, and non-communicable diseases later in life. Therefore, LBW reflects not only maternal and child health conditions but also preconception health readiness. Prevention efforts should not be limited to pregnancy but also focus on preconception factors influencing pregnancy outcomes. This community service activity aimed to improve knowledge and preconception health readiness among prospective couples. The activity was conducted at Wagir Primary Health Center, Malang Regency, Indonesia, from January 5 to 17, 2026. The target participants were prospective brides and grooms receiving pre-marital health services. Methods included health education, individual and small-group counseling based on health screening results, and interactive discussions. Educational media consisted of leaflets, posters, and simple presentation materials. Data were collected through observation, discussion feedback, and counseling interactions, then analyzed descriptively. The results showed an increase in participants’ understanding of preconception risk factors associated with LBW, including anemia, chronic energy deficiency, obesity, and diabetes mellitus. Participants also demonstrated improved awareness of the importance of maintaining nutritional status and health before pregnancy. Pre-marital education based on individual health risk screening is effective in improving knowledge and preconception readiness among prospective couples and has the potential as a preventive strategy to reduce LBW incidence in primary health care settings.
