type: item
description: Background: Low rates of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia remain a public health issue due to mothers' lack of knowledge and positive attitudes towards the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding. Based on initial observations in the working area of the Banyuanyar Surakarta Community Health Centre, many mothers are still not breastfeeding exclusively as recommended by the WHO. This community service activity aims to increase breastfeeding mothers' knowledge and attitudes about the importance of exclusive breastfeeding through education using video media delivered via the WhatsApp application. Methods: The partners in this activity were breastfeeding mothers in the working area of the Banyuanyar Surakarta Community Health Centre, with a total of 45 participants. The activity was carried out in three stages, namely programme socialisation, video-based education, and interactive discussions through a WhatsApp group. The educational material covered the definition of exclusive breastfeeding, its benefits for mothers and babies, proper breastfeeding techniques, and how to maintain milk production. Evaluation was conducted using questionnaires before and after the activity to assess the increase in knowledge and attitudes of breastfeeding mothers. Results: The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' knowledge of 40.3%, from an average score of 13.78 to 19.33, as well as an increase in positive attitudes towards exclusive breastfeeding of 25.7%, from an average score of 54.47 to 68.51. Conclusion: This activity proves that education through video media via WhatsApp is effective in improving the soft skills and awareness of breastfeeding mothers about exclusive breastfeeding. This programme can be used as a model for efficient and easily implemented digital-based health education at the primary care level.

type: item
description: Background: School-aged children's knowledge of the correct way to wear masks is still low during the new normal era, which increases the risk of COVID-19 spread in the school environment. Objective: To improve school-aged children's understanding and skills in using masks through community service activities. Methods: The service activity was conducted using a method of counselling and practice at SD Negeri 4 Ngunut, Bandar, Pacitan. The number of partners is 34 students from grades 3, 4, and 5, who were randomly selected. Evaluation was conducted using pre-tests and post-tests with questionnaires that had been tested for validity and reliability, as well as behavioural observation of mask usage. Results: There was an 86.5% increase in participants' knowledge, as evidenced by an increase in the average score from 1.09 (pre-test) to 2.03 (post-test).

type: item
description: Background: Hypertension remains one of the most common health problems experienced by the community and can increase the risk of complications if not managed properly. The low ability of patients to self-care makes blood pressure difficult to control. This community service activity aims to improve the self-management skills of hypertensive patients through self-management education using audiovisual media. Methods: The activity was conducted in the form of counselling and self-management practice for 52 hypertensive patients in Girilayu Village, Matesih Subdistrict, Karanganyar Regency. The activity partners were the Girilayu Village community with assistance from local health workers. Education was provided door-to-door using educational videos, leaflets, and interactive discussions. Evaluation was conducted by measuring self-care abilities and blood pressure before and after the activity. Results: The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' self-care abilities from moderate to high, with an average increase of 25–30%, as well as a decrease in mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure of around 5–7% after education. This improvement illustrates an increase in participants' hard skills in managing hypertension and soft skills in the form of independence and adherence to a healthy lifestyle. Conclusion: This activity had a positive impact on improving the health status of the community and has the potential to be implemented in other areas with similar problems. It is recommended that similar activities be carried out continuously and developed into applied service programmes in the field of chronic diseases.

type: item
description: Background: Exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia has not yet reached 100%. One effective strategy to support successful breastfeeding is by educating mothers on how to express breast milk. Educating mothers on this practice is crucial to enhancing their knowledge and supporting the success of exclusive breastfeeding. This activity aims to implement a breast milk expression education programme for postpartum mothers at the Gantiwarno Community Health Centre and to monitor changes in knowledge through pre- and post-session. Methods: This community service was conducted in the working area of the Gantiwarno Community Health Centre, Klaten, in October 2022, targeting 23 postpartum mothers who were selected purposively. The intervention took the form of approximately 20 minutes of education on expressing breast milk using leaflets, preceded by a pre-test and followed by a post-test immediately after the session. Knowledge was measured using a structured questionnaire, and changes in pairs were analysed using the Wilcoxon test (α=0.05) after obtaining consent to participate. Results: The majority of participants were aged 20–35 years (73.9%), had a high school education (69.6%), were not formally employed (65.2%), and were multiparous (69.6%). Before the session, knowledge was predominantly in the ‘fair’ category (60.9%); after education, the ‘good’ category increased to 39.1%. Paired analysis showed a significant increase (p=0.03). Conclusion: Education on expressing breast milk positively affected the knowledge of postpartum mothers at the Gantiwarno Health Center. Therefore, it is important to provide such education to improve maternal knowledge, which can contribute to achieving the goal of exclusive breastfeeding.

Peningkatan Pengetahuan dan Sikap Pencegahan Diare Melalui Edukasi dengan Menggunakan Media Audio Visual pada Siswa Sekolah Dasar
type: item
description: Background: Diarrhea remains one of the leading causes of death in children, making prevention and control efforts crucial. Health education, using media such as leaflets and audio-visual tools, plays a vital role in raising awareness. This activity aims to implement a school-based community service programme and evaluate the improvement in knowledge and attitudes towards diarrhoea prevention among fifth-grade students at SDN Temboro 1 after audiovisual-based health education. Methods: This school-based PkM programme presented audiovisual modules on diarrhoea prevention to 36 fifth-grade students and conducted pre- and post-tests to monitor their learning outcomes. Knowledge was measured using a structured questionnaire (multiple choice/true-false), and attitudes were measured using a 4-point Likert scale; both were administered immediately before and after the session. Results: Pre- and post-monitoring showed improvement in both approaches; the audiovisual group recorded an average knowledge score of 70.89 and an attitude score of 66.33 after the session. These findings confirm that audiovisual education is more effective in optimising understanding and attitudes towards diarrhoea prevention in the context of school-based PkM. Conclusion: Audio-visual health education proves to be an effective method in enhancing both knowledge and attitudes toward diarrhea prevention in elementary school students.

Physiotherapy Services: Core Stability Exercises are Essential for Reducing Lower Back Pain (LBP) in the Elderly
type: item
description: Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a common health problem among the elderly, often interfering with daily activities and reducing quality of life. Aging affects the spine’s structure and function, increasing the risk of LBP. Non-pharmacological interventions such as core stability exercises have shown potential in reducing pain and improving function. This training program improved the knowledge and skills of both health cadres and older adults, making it a useful non-pharmacological therapy to enhance quality of life. Methods: This community service program was conducted in Tohudan Village, Karanganyar, Central Java, from February to July 2023, involving elderly individuals experiencing LBP and local health cadres. The intervention included educational sessions, training in core stability exercises, and evaluations of participants’ knowledge and skills. The exercises taught included diaphragmatic breathing, raising limbs, bridging, and quadruped positions. The evaluation was conducted through structured qualitative interviews with participants and cadres. Results: The program showed positive outcomes, with increased understanding and skill among health cadres and elderly participants in performing core stability exercises. Interviews with participants and cadres supported these findings—participants reported reduced pain and improved ability to perform daily activities after regular exercise, while cadres felt more confident in guiding others to perform correctly and maintaining programme continuity. Conclusion: Core stability exercise is an effective non-pharmacological intervention to reduce low back pain and improve the quality of life among the elderly. Training community health cadres ensures sustainable impact, enabling continued support for elderly individuals suffering from LBP. Further referrals to health facilities are recommended if symptoms persist.

Interactive Storytelling as a Strategy for Improving the English Vocabulary of Young Children
type: item
description: Background: Community service is an integrated program that involves professionals with the community where community empowerment is directly applied from the beginning to the end of the program. This study aims to introduce early childhood to speak English by using story telling. This activity was carried out at TPQ Masjid Baitul Baasyir in Tohudan Village Colomadu Karanganyar. Methods: The activity was held at the TPQ Masjid Baitul Ba'asyir Karanganyar from February to May 2025 and was attended by 15 children and their parents. The implementation is divided into three stages: the preparation stage (story development and creation of supporting materials), the implementation stage (pre-test, introduction of storytelling concepts, storytelling sessions, and post-test), and the evaluation stage (comparison of pre-test and post-test results, as well as observation of children’s participation). Results: The results of the community service evaluation showed an increase in children's English language skills by 3.07, from a pre-test score of 7.13 to a post-test score of 10.2.

Methods: The design applied in the service refers to qualitative discrimination, with activities carried out to socialize research results, followed by FGD (Focus Group Discussion) with an interview guide consisting of nine statements to 10 nurses representing the treatment room as participants. Results: There was a change in understanding and shared positive perceptions among participants regarding the implementation of nursing documentation, starting with assessment, data analysis, formulation of nursing diagnoses, and evaluation. Conclusion: increasing nurses' understanding and positive perceptions regarding nursing documentation can be done through FGDs, training, and workshops, as well as ongoing assessment.
