Pelatihan Mindfulness untuk Mengurangi Stres Akademik Siswa

2026-09-17T10:43:02+07:00

High academic demands often trigger stress and reduce students' learning focus at school, while facilities for emotional regulation training remain very limited. This community service activity aims to increase students' mindfulness capacity as a psychological resource in coping with learning pressure. The program implementation method utilized a one-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design involving 25 target students. The intervention was conducted through academic stress psychoeducation, an introduction to mindfulness concepts, and direct practice of mindful breathing and body scan meditation techniques. Program evaluation was measured using the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) analyzed with a Paired Samples T-test using SPSS. Statistical results showed a statistically significant increase in students' mindfulness capacity between before and after the training, with a mean difference of -3.920 (p = 0.018). This mean difference indicates that the average mindfulness score of students after attending the training (post-test) increased by 3.920 points compared to before the training (pre-test). These findings empirically prove that mindfulness training effectively enhances students' mindfulness capacity. The impact of this activity is equipping students with mindfulness skills that can be integrated by Guidance and Counseling (BK) teachers to support student mental health in the school environment.

Sosialisasi Program TOSS Tuberkulosis pada Kader Kesehatan di Desa Sumbersuko, Malang

2026-08-17T00:30:11+07:00

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a public health problem in Sumbersuko Village, Wagir District, Malang Regency, mainly due to a lack of understanding of proper treatment that can reduce therapy adherence, trigger treatment failure, and increase the risk of drug resistance such as Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB). This activity aims to evaluate and strengthen the implementation of the TOSS TB program (Find Tuberculosis, Treat Until Cured) as a community-based integrated initiative involving health workers, trained village cadres, and active community participation to improve early detection, ensure timely treatment according to standards, and conduct monitoring by reducing stigma. The implementation method is carried out through structured stages in the form of interactive socialization using infographics, persuasive education to correct negative perceptions (TB is not a shameful disease or a curse and can be cured), and a question and answer session to debunk myths. The evaluation shows that community knowledge about the TOSS program is classified as good with an average score of 7.95/10 (79.5%); as many as 65% of respondents are categorized as good knowledge, while 35% are still sufficient and insufficient. The majority of respondents were able to recognize the main symptoms of TB and understood the importance of social support for patients. However, significant information gaps were identified regarding pharmaceuticals: only 35% knew that anti-TB drugs are most effective when taken on an empty stomach, and 45% understood that the red-orange discoloration of urine/sweat caused by rifampin is a normal and harmless side effect. These gaps have the potential to lead to anxiety and self-discontinuation, which increases the risk of resistance. The program recommends strengthening more specific pharmaceutical education and increasing the training of cadres as PMOs for monitoring, proper education, and psychosocial support as strategies to improve adherence, reduce morbidity/mortality, prevent MDR-TB, and strengthen early warning and sustainable collaboration between villages and health facilities.

2026-08-19T13:03:15+07:00

Hypertension is a prevalent non-communicable disease in Ketindan Village, Lawang District, Malang Regency; a key challenge in its management is the lack of knowledge regarding the use and handling of antihypertensive medications. This community service activity aimed to improve knowledge concerning the use and management of hypertension medications among patients through education based on the DAGUSIBU principle (Obtain, Use, Store, and Dispose). The activity was conducted on July 18, 2026, involving 35 participants from the Prolanis program, the majority of whom were elderly. Evaluation utilized a one-group pretest-posttest design, measuring participants' knowledge before and after the educational session, which employed posters and leaflets. Results showed that the average percentage of correct answers rose from 76.5% in the pre-test to 89.7% in the post-test, representing a 13.2% increase. The most significant improvement in knowledge was observed regarding the prohibition against independently discontinuing antihypertensive medication, rising from 42.9% in the pre-test to 88.6% in the post-test. The activity demonstrated an increase in participant knowledge following DAGUSIBU education. DAGUSIBU education serves as a strategy to enhance participants' understanding of antihypertensive medication management, thereby supporting treatment adherence.

This Community Service activity aims to enhance the understanding, skills, and legal awareness of business owners regarding the importance of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) specifically trademark protection for the "Pawon" Chicken Intestine Chip Home Industry in Mojosongo, Balongbesuk, Diwek, Jombang. The partner's primary challenges included limited understanding of IPR as a business asset, the function of trademarks as identifiers and instruments of legal protection, and the administrative procedures for IPR registration. The project involved a single partner: the "Pawon" Chicken Intestine Chip Home Industry. A participatory action method with a descriptive-participatory approach was employed, comprising three stages: planning, acting, and evaluation. Program implementation included needs assessment and observation, IPR education, entrepreneurship capacity building, training, practical sessions on document preparation and IPR application, evaluation, and subsequent follow-up and mentoring. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, logbooks, and training outcome evaluations, then analyzed using a descriptive-comparative method by contrasting the partner's conditions before and after the activity. The results demonstrate an improvement in the partner's understanding of the strategic value of trademarks, the benefits of legal protection, and the requirements and stages of IPR application. Participatory and sustained mentoring also enhanced the partner's skills and independence in managing business legality. This activity confirms that integrating legal education, entrepreneurship training, practical application, and mentoring serves as an effective model for empowering home-based MSMEs to strengthen their legality, competitiveness, and business sustainability.

The public requires an adequate understanding of the identification, benefits, methods of use, and safety of medicinal plants to ensure their appropriate and safe application. One plant family closely integrated into daily life encompassing various food crops, spices, and plants traditionally used for health purposes is the Apiaceae family. This community service initiative aimed to enhance the knowledge of PKK (Family Welfare Empowerment) volunteers in Kertosari Village regarding the identification, benefits, proper usage, and safety of plants from the Apiaceae family. The activity was conducted at the Kertosari Village Hall, Singorojo District, Kendal Regency. A total of 30 PKK volunteers participated, with their knowledge evaluated through pre-tests and post-tests. Educational efforts included interactive presentations, the distribution of booklets, discussions, and a Q&A session covering plant identification, health benefits, general bioactive content, methods of use, and safety considerations. Data were analyzed descriptively using means, standard deviations, medians, and proportions. Differences between pre-test and post-test scores were assessed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, while relative improvement was evaluated using the Normalized Gain (N-Gain). The mean score increased from 63.33 ± 19.88 (pre-test) to 87.00 ± 12.64 (post-test), with 27 participants (90.0%) showing an improvement in their scores. The Wilcoxon test indicated a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test (p < 0.001), and the N-Gain value of 0.65 fell into the moderate category. Feedback from 26 respondents yielded a score of 3.12 for the relevance of the material to their needs and a score of 3.04 for overall satisfaction (on a scale of 0-4). Educational outreach delivered through presentations and booklets effectively increased participants' knowledge regarding the use of medicinal plants from the Apiaceae family.

Pelatihan Penyuntingan Karya Tulis Ilmiah dan Pengelolaan Referensi Menggunakan Mendeley bagi Murid MA Negeri 1 Samarinda

2026-09-15T20:59:40+07:00

The ability to edit writing and manage references is an important academic skill that is still insufficiently mastered by senior high school/madrasah aliyah students, particularly in the application of spelling, punctuation, diction precision, effective sentence structure, as well as systematic citation and reference listing. This community service aims to analyze participants' perceptions regarding the clarity of basic materials on scientific paper editing and the use of the Mendeley application through a training program called NARASI (Naskah Rapi dan Sitasi). The method used was practice-based training through four main stages, including material delivery, demonstration, hands-on practice (manuscript editing and Mendeley usage), and mentoring. This activity was attended by 27 tenth-grade students and evaluated through direct observation during the training as well as a post-training questionnaire on a Guttman scale with 8 items using Yes/No response categories. The questionnaire results showed that most statements obtained a proportion of positive responses above 90%, in which all students felt they understood better how to present proper and correct writing, and 96.3% of students better understood the function of Mendeley in scientific writing, while only 11.1% of students still felt difficulty in editing and no students were confused about using Mendeley. It can be concluded that the NARASI training successfully received positive responses regarding students' understanding in editing writing and managing references using Mendeley, although a small portion of students still requires follow-up mentoring so that these skills can be applied independently and sustainably.

Edukasi Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja untuk Meningkatkan Pengetahuan Karyawan Chemika Karya

2026-09-21T08:10:09+07:00

This community service initiative aims to enhance the understanding of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) among employees at Chemika Karya, serving as a foundation for implementing safe work practices. The activity was conducted on August 11, 2026, using an educational and participatory approach that included identifying needs, presenting contextual material, discussing case studies, reinforcing the proper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and facilitating reflection and evaluation. The content covered hazard identification, the hierarchy of risk control, the use of PPE, safe operating procedures, and emergency preparedness. A descriptive qualitative evaluation was carried out through Q&A sessions and participant reflection to assess their grasp of potential hazards, preventive measures, and the application of OHS principles in the workplace. While the evaluation results indicate that participants understood the material discussed, they do not allow for a quantitative measurement of the extent of knowledge improvement or the overall success rate of the program. This is due to the absence of pre- and post-activity assessments and an evaluation of changes in work behavior. Consequently, this OHS education should be followed up with regular safety briefings, communication regarding chemical hazards, PPE inspections, and monitoring of compliance with safe work procedures. This initiative serves as an initial step toward strengthening OHS awareness, which must be supported by robust risk control measures and management commitment.

Pemberdayaan Pengelola Bank Sampah Pelangi dalam Pemanfaatan Sampah Organik Rumah Tangga Menjadi Pakan Protein Berbasis Budidaya Maggot BSF Bernilai Ekonomis

2026-09-24T01:13:20+07:00

Household organic waste constitutes the largest share of domestic waste and remains underutilized, posing a potential risk of environmental pollution. However, this waste holds economic value when processed through the cultivation of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae commonly known as maggots which can yield high-protein animal feed. While the Pelangi Waste Bank in Siak Regency plays a role in community-based waste management, its activities have historically focused on inorganic waste; thus, there is a need for innovative, sustainable methods to utilize organic waste. This community service initiative aimed to enhance the capacity of Pelangi Waste Bank managers to transform household organic waste into economically valuable, protein-rich maggot feed. The implementation employed a Participatory Action Learnin (PAL) approach, encompassing problem identification, practical training, mentoring, and monitoring and evaluation. The results demonstrate success in equipping managers with the knowledge and skills required for maggot cultivation techniques, ranging from substrate preparation and larval rearing to harvesting. Managers successfully processed household organic waste into larval feed substrates and produced economically valuable maggot-based alternative feeds in both fresh and dried forms. Beyond environmental benefits, this initiative fosters productive, economically viable business opportunities with the potential to increase income and strengthen the institutional sustainability of the waste bank in Siak Regency.
