Ahmad Ghiffari — 2026-03-15

The co-infection of HIV with helminthiasis might accelerate the progression of HIV to AIDS, making a thorough comprehension of this condition essential for patients. This counseling session was conducted in the Ilir Timur 2 District (Dobu Coffee) with 30 HIV patients, employing a face-to-face methodology that included presentations by speakers and laboratory analyses of fecal materials. The comprehension was evaluated using a pre-test and post-test involving 34 participants, yielding an average pre-test score of 51.42 (standard deviation: 16.75) and a post-test score of 71.39 (standard deviation: 16.96), demonstrating a significant improvement. A PCR study indicated that 24 patients were positive for helminth infections. The results suggested a beneficial effect on participants' knowledge, but with score discrepancies. The detection of helminth infections in patients demands further investigation, including investigations on the correlation between helminth infections and the immune function of HIV patients. Additionally, routine examinations must be conducted as an integral part of patient health surveillance to guarantee beneficial early detection.

Ramadanti Putri Mahanani — 2026-03-31

Online games are one form of technology utilization that is widely used as a source of entertainment. However, uncontrolled use of online games can lead individuals to develop addiction. Adolescents are a group that is vulnerable to online game addiction because at this age individuals often use their free time to play games in between their learning activities. If excessive gaming behavior cannot be controlled, it may lead to addiction and have negative impacts on adolescents. This activity is a form of community service aimed at increasing students’ knowledge about the prevention of online game addiction through psychoeducation. The activity was conducted with ninth-grade students of SMP Negeri 9 Salatiga. The methods used in this activity were counseling and interactive discussions about the impacts and prevention of online game addiction. The evaluation of the activity was carried out using a pre-test and post-test to determine changes in students’ level of knowledge. The results of the analysis using a T-test with the help of SPSS version 25 showed that the mean pre-test score was 9.10 and the mean post-test score was 9.35. The statistical test results indicated that the increase in scores was not significant, with a significance value of 0.161 (p > 0.05). Nevertheless, the psychoeducation activity still provided students with an initial understanding of the impacts and prevention of online game addiction. Therefore, similar activities are recommended to use more interactive methods and engaging educational media to improve the effectiveness did not have a significant impact on students' knowledge about online game addiction. Recommendations that can be given to improve the effectiveness of psychoeducation are by paying attention to the creation of pre- and post-test questions, using a supportive room, adding interactive media such as educational games and extending the duration of psychoeducation.

Syarinta Adenina — 2026-03-31

The high incidence of breast cancer remains a significant public health problem in Indonesia. Breast cancer management is challenging because the disease is generally detected at an advanced stage. In fact, breast self-examination (BSE) is a simple and inexpensive method for the early detection of breast cancer. Early detection and management of breast cancer are expected to reduce mortality rates associated with the disease. A preliminary survey revealed that nearly all members of the FKMT Sukarami women’s study group were unaware of breast self-examination and the use of family medicinal plants (ginger) for breast cancer prevention. Based on these findings, this community service activity aimed to enhance public knowledge and skills in performing breast self-examination and utilizing family medicinal plants. The activities included lectures, discussions, and demonstrations. Evaluation was carried out by measuring knowledge levels before and after the program. The analysis showed an increase in knowledge regarding breast cancer, breast self-examination, and the use of family medicinal plants (ginger) following the educational session.

Skrining hemoglobin dan edukasi gizi berbasis personal untuk pencegahan anemia pada santriwati Pondok Pesantren Tahfidzul Qur’an Putri di Makassar

Andi Irhamnia Sakinah — 2026-03-31

Anaemia is a common health problem among adolescent girls, including female Islamic boarding school students (santriwati), and has a negative impact on learning capacity, productivity, and long-term health. This program aimed to identify and raise awareness among santriwati regarding their nutritional status and haemoglobin levels as an initial step in anaemia detection, while also providing early management for its prevention and treatment. Most participants were in early adolescence (39.1%) and had a normal nutritional status (52.2%). However, 56.5% were found to be anaemic, with mean haemoglobin levels below the normal threshold. Anaemia occurred not only in participants with undernutrition but also in those with normal and overweight, suggesting more complex underlying factors such as low dietary iron intake or poor iron bioavailability. This community service program successfully identified the high prevalence of anemia in female students through rapid screening based on Point-of-Care Testing and provided nutritional education and personal/individual-based anemia management according to the problems of each female student. Future interventions should be developed into a sustainable program involving pesantren health cadres, regular distribution of iron tablets, periodic haemoglobin monitoring, and the integration of nutrition education into the pesantren curriculum.

A Photovoice Analysis of Community Voices Around PLTU X on Mining Activities: A Basic AMDAL Training by Anak Padi Foundation, Lahat Regency. Coal-fired Steam Power Plants (PLTU) are one of the main sources of energy in Indonesia, but they are also significant contributors to environmental pollution and public health impacts. In Lahat Regency, coal mining areas as one of the fuels for PLTU are also spread around the PLTU, which adds to the impacts on health and the environment. This study aims to determine the voices or views of participants in the basic AMDAL (Environmental Impact Analysis) training who live around the PLTU area, especially residents of Z Village, regarding coal mining activities which are the main source of energy for the PLTU. The method used in this study is photovoice which involves participants to take photos that reflect their experiences and perspectives on environmental issues that are affected. The participants in this training have an age range of 18-75 years, totaling 27 people. There are 3 core stages of the photovoice process: making photos, collective interpretation and the dissemination process of the photo results (dissemination). The results show that most participants through photovoice expressed that the existence of mining activities and PLTUs has a negative impact on environmental quality, such as air pollution, lots of dust in residents' homes due to coal transportation activities, decreased farmer harvest production, and health problems to river pollution. This finding emphasizes the importance of involving residents in participatory environmental management and monitoring.This study recommends the need for more sustainable environmental evaluations, as well as strengthening community capacity in voicing the right to a healthy environment.
