This activity was carried out through a qualitative descriptive approach with a participatory mentoring method. The target of the activity is elementary school students who are guided to play the role of child doctors, namely young health ambassadors who are tasked with promoting hygiene and a healthy lifestyle to their peers. The implementation of the program consists of several stages, namely initial coordination with the school, delivery of educational materials on Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS), practical demonstrations, and reflective discussions. The results of the activity showed that students actively participated and experienced increased awareness about personal and environmental hygiene. They are able to implement healthy habits, such as washing hands, bringing healthy lunches, and maintaining classroom cleanliness. Teachers and school staff are also actively involved in supporting the implementation of the program, thus enabling the sustainability of activities as part of health education in schools. Participatory mentoring has proven to be effective in strengthening students' healthy living skills and building a sense of responsibility and leadership in maintaining health. Thus, the pediatrician program can be concluded as a valuable model in building a school health culture through collaboration between educators, students, and the school community more broadly.</em></p> Ahmad Syiehamul Ishobah, Arif Rahman Hakim, Leni Juniarti, Helma Nadia, Nadia Arum Finasty, Fitri Sasmita Copyright (c) 2026 Ahmad Syiehamul Ishobah, Arif Rahman Hakim, Leni Juniarti, Helma Nadia, Nadia Arum Finasty, & Fitri Sasmita https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ https://e-journal.lp3kamandanu.com/index.php/nuras/article/view/792 Thu, 01 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0700 Pemberian Suntik Vitamin pada Hewan Ternak Sapi di Desa Mareje Kabupaten Lombok Barat https://e-journal.lp3kamandanu.com/index.php/nuras/article/view/802 <p><em>This community service activity aimed to improve the health and productivity of cattle while enhancing farmers’ knowledge regarding proper vitamin administration techniques. The activity involved several farmers through stages including identification of cattle requiring vitamins, initial health examination, administration of vitamin injections according to standard dosages, and post-injection observation. The results indicated that some cattle exhibited symptoms of vitamin deficiency, such as decreased appetite, slow growth, and poor physical condition. A total of 10 cattle were successfully injected with vitamins by the service team, which consisted of experts and trained students, with active participation from the farmers during the demonstration process. Post-injection observations showed that all cattle remained stable without adverse reactions, and within a few days, increased activity and improved physical condition were noted in previously weak animals. These findings suggest that vitamin administration via injection is more effective in improving cattle health compared to feed supplementation and successfully enhanced farmers’ knowledge and skills. The results underscore the importance of routine mentoring and the implementation of sustainable programs to maintain cattle health and increase farmers’ productivity.</em></p> Lalu Bahrul Alam, Safnowandi Safnowandi, I Wayan Karmana Copyright (c) 2026 Lalu Bahrul Alam, Safnowandi, & I Wayan Karmana https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ https://e-journal.lp3kamandanu.com/index.php/nuras/article/view/802 Thu, 01 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0700 Peran Digitalisasi dan Branding UMKM dalam Meningkatkan Daya Saing Ekonomi Lokal Berdasarkan SDG 8 dan SDG 9 : Studi Kasus Apotek Kasih Ibu dan Herawati Cake di Balige https://e-journal.lp3kamandanu.com/index.php/nuras/article/view/804 <p><em>This community service activity aims to implement and evaluate the role of digitalization and branding strategies in increasing competitiveness and developing the local economy of two Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Saribu Raja Janji Maria Village, Balige, namely Apotik Kasih Ibu and Herawati Cake.

The main problems include limitations in product packaging, branding, and marketing strategies that are able to represent Karo's cultural values. The Real Work Lecture Program (KKN) aims to empower the MSME economy based on local wisdom to increase business competitiveness. The implementation method uses the Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach involving 10 partner MSMEs engaged in culinary and traditional handicrafts. The program is implemented through three main activities, namely: 1) re-branding and packaging design workshops based on Karo's motives and philosophy; 2) digital marketing training with an emphasis on product culture storytelling; and 3) simple business management assistance. Program evaluation is carried out through observation, interviews, and comparison of conditions before and after activities. The results of the program show an increase in the capacity of MSMEs, characterized by 100% of partner MSMEs having a new visual identity, an increase in digital promotion activities from 30% to 80% of MSMEs active on social media, and the compilation of product narratives based on local culture. This program concludes that the empowerment of MSMEs that focuses on strengthening local wisdom is effective in increasing business competitiveness while contributing to the preservation of the cultural identity of the Lingga Cultural Village.</em></p> Intan Juwita Damanik, Putri Yuanita, Rahmawati Br Sembiring, Wan Shalah Sabila, Muhammad Ikhsan Harahap Copyright (c) 2026 Intan Juwita Damanik, Putri Yuanita, Rahmawati Br Sembiring, Wan Shalah Sabila, & Muhammad Ikhsan Harahap https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ https://e-journal.lp3kamandanu.com/index.php/nuras/article/view/854 Fri, 02 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0700 Pelatihan dan Pendampingan Pembuatan Artikel Ilmiah Berbasis AI untuk Meningkatkan Keterampilan Menulis Calon Guru https://e-journal.lp3kamandanu.com/index.php/nuras/article/view/857 <p><em>Training and assistance in the creation of scientific articles based on artificial intelligence (AI) aims to improve the scientific writing skills of prospective teachers at Mandalika Education University.

This condition can have an impact on decreasing the effectiveness of natural ingredients, both for preventive, curative, promotive, and rehabilitative purposes. The purpose of this community service activity is so that the use of natural medicines can be carried out safely and correctly. The method used is in the form of interactive counseling on the safe and appropriate use of natural ingredients. Before counseling, a pre-test is carried out, and after counseling a post-test is carried out. The respondents in this activity were PKK women in Sumbersuko Village, Wagir District, Malang Regency as many as 18 people. The pre-test results showed that 65% of respondents had a sufficient level of knowledge in the category, while the post-test results showed an increase to 89.85% with the knowledge category being very good. Based on the results of the t-test, there was a significant difference in the level of knowledge about the safe and correct use of natural medicines between before and after counseling.

Bayan Village in North Lombok has unique potential in the form of the sacred site of the Bayan Beleq Ancient Mosque and the local wisdom of Wetu Telu, but this potential is threatened by the risk of commercialization and the lack of structured customary governance. The method used is action research with a participatory qualitative approach, through SWOT analysis, FGDs, and customary workshops involving the Customary Council, Pokdarwis, and BUMDes. The results of this service produce scientific findings that the educational ecotourism model is only sustainable if the absolute authority of the customary council is determined as the main control variable that limits zoning and commercial activities. Based on these findings, a Bayan spiritual-customary ecotourism model is formulated that clearly distinguishes the sacred core zone and the educational buffer zone.</em> <em>This community service activity also successfully increased the human resources capacity of the Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis) through ethical storytelling training, which serves as a filtering mechanism for cultural values.

This Community Service-Oriented (PkM) research aims to: 1) identify the level of knowledge, attitudes, and commitment in Dusun Ngargosoko Wetan concerning smoking hazards before and after the implementation of a cigarette smoke-free home PkM program; and 2) investigate how the initiative can enhance family health, fortify socio-religious cohesion, and alleviate economic burdens in low-income households. This community service-oriented research utilized a defined Participatory Action Research (PAR) cycle (planning → action → reflection → revision) to collaboratively create and implement a full-day intervention for 40 intentionally selected residents (25 adult men, predominantly fathers/young adults, 15 adolescents). The majority of participating homes had children and reported low to moderate incomes. Pre/post questionnaires assessed knowledge, attitudes, and household regulations; enabled small-group conversations incorporating socio-religious messages and generated family commitments. Quantitative analyses (SPSS v26; R v4.2) employed paired t-tests for continuous variables. A community-led three-month follow-up was scheduled to evaluate enduring change. The results indicate that the average knowledge improved from 62.5 to 81.3, reflecting a 30% relative improvement (paired t-test, p &lt; .01). Post-event commitments: 65% embraced smoke-free household promises, 25% aimed to decrease smoking, 10% remained unchanged. The implementation of PAR cycles and socio-religious framing yielded immediate, substantial benefits and created local monitoring systems to facilitate long-term sustainability and policy adoption.</p> Ahmad Syauqi Hidayatullah, Anselmus Sudirman, Johanes Climacus Setyo Karjono, Sulistyo Budiarto, Petrus Piro Bani, Lita Indah Sari, Maria Advenia Wango Copyright (c) 2026 Ahmad Syauqi Hidayatullah, Anselmus Sudirman, Johanes Climacus Setyo Karjono, Sulistyo Budiarto, Petrus Piro Bani, Lita Indah Sari, & Maria Advenia Wango https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ https://e-journal.lp3kamandanu.com/index.php/nuras/article/view/939 Thu, 15 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0700 Menciptakan Rasa Peduli dan Kesadaran Lingkungan melalui Gerakan Bersih Bersama Mahasiswa dan Masyarakat di Kampus https://e-journal.lp3kamandanu.com/index.php/nuras/article/view/1016 <p><em>The clean-up movement, involving students and the campus community, is a crucial effort to foster environmental awareness and concern at Sunan Giri University, Surabaya.

It is unfortunate, even though students actually have knowledge about the importance of preserving nature, but in their daily practice it still seems less than optimal. To overcome this problem, this article aims to analyze the implementation of the environmental cleanup program as an effort to build an eco-care culture, especially among students through the Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) approach. This method was chosen because it is participatory by emphasizing the mapping of internal campus assets, such as optimizing existing student potential and then developing it through field observation, documentation, and participatory reflection. The program implemented includes environmental cleaning activities and greening the campus area as well as collaboration with all elements of society as a form of service to the surrounding community. The results of this program show an increase in student participation in environmental cleanup actions, marked by more consistent involvement in routine activities and increased student initiatives in maintaining the cleanliness of the campus area.</em> <em>Observations and reflections indicate a shift in student attitudes, from simply understanding the concept of environmental awareness to more responsible, pro-environmental behavior. This program also strengthens collective awareness that environmental cleanliness is a shared responsibility. These findings emphasize that fostering ecological practices, collaboration among students, and institutional support play a crucial role in fostering a sustainable culture of environmental awareness. This article also recommends developing similar, more participatory, long-term programs that strengthen students' role as agents of change on environmental issues.</em></p> Rio Saputra, Muhammad Choirun Ni’am, Rommy Hardyansah, Didit Darmawan, Agung Satryo Wibowo Copyright (c) 2026 Rio Saputra, Muhammad Choirun Ni’am, Rommy Hardyansah, Didit Darmawan, & Agung Satryo Wibowo https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ https://e-journal.lp3kamandanu.com/index.php/nuras/article/view/1069 Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0700 Penyuluhan Kesehatan dan Aktivitas Fisik Bersama Anak Jalanan dalam Mewujudkan SDGs dan Pancasila Sila ke-3 https://e-journal.lp3kamandanu.com/index.php/nuras/article/view/999 <p><em>Health and physical activity counseling is one of the efforts to raise awareness and healthy lifestyle habits, especially for vulnerable groups such as street children.
