Arlina Nurhapsari — 2026-07-31

Latar belakang: Karies gigi merupakan penyakit infeksi kronis dengan prevalensi yang masih sangat tinggi di Indonesia, yaitu mencapai 88,8%. Namun, hanya 10,2% penderita yang memanfaatkan layanan perawatan gigi. Rendahnya pemanfaatan layanan tersebut dipengaruhi oleh persepsi yang keliru bahwa gigi berlubang yang tidak menimbulkan nyeri tidak memerlukan perawatan serta tingginya kecemasan terhadap perawatan gigi pada remaja. Kondisi ini menunjukkan pentingnya upaya edukasi untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan mengenai sifat progresif karies gigi, konsekuensi penundaan perawatan, dan pentingnya intervensi dini. Tujuan: Meningkatkan pengetahuan siswa mengenai sifat progresif karies gigi, konsekuensi penundaan perawatan, dan pentingnya intervensi dini. Metode: Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat dilaksanakan melalui program edukasi interaktif SI PETUALANG pada 16 Juli 2025 selama 120 menit dengan metode ceramah, media visual, diskusi, dan tanya jawab. Peserta terdiri atas 30 siswa berusia 16–18 tahun. Tingkat pengetahuan diukur menggunakan kuesioner sebelum dan sesudah edukasi, sedangkan kepuasan peserta dievaluasi setelah kegiatan. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji Wilcoxon dan korelasi Spearman. Hasil: Sebanyak 27 peserta (90%) mengalami peningkatan pengetahuan setelah mengikuti edukasi. Proporsi peserta dengan kategori pengetahuan tinggi dan sangat tinggi meningkat dari 23,3% sebelum intervensi menjadi 76,7% setelah intervensi. Hasil uji Wilcoxon menunjukkan perbedaan yang bermakna antara skor pre-test dan post-test (p<0,001). Selain itu, terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara tingkat kepuasan peserta dan peningkatan pengetahuan (r=0,381; p=0,038), dengan 90% peserta menyatakan puas atau sangat puas terhadap pelaksanaan program. Kesimpulan: Program edukasi SI PETUALANG efektif meningkatkan pengetahuan siswa mengenai karies gigi dan pentingnya penanganan dini. Program ini berpotensi diimplementasikan secara berkelanjutan sebagai salah satu strategi promosi kesehatan gigi di lingkungan sekolah.

Abstract

Background: Dental caries remains one of the most prevalent chronic infectious diseases worldwide. In Indonesia, its prevalence reaches 88.8%, yet only 10.2% of affected individuals utilize dental care services. This treatment gap is partly attributed to the misconception that asymptomatic carious lesions do not require treatment and to the high prevalence of dental anxiety among adolescents. Educational interventions that improve awareness of the progressive nature of dental caries and the importance of early treatment are therefore needed. Objective: This community-based educational program aimed to improve students' knowledge of the progressive nature of dental caries, the consequences of delaying treatment, and the importance of early intervention. Method: An interactive educational program entitled SI PETUALANG was implemented on July 16, 2025, through visual presentations, discussions, and question-and-answer sessions over a 120-minute period. Thirty students aged 16–18 years participated in the program. Knowledge was assessed using a five-category ordinal questionnaire administered before and after the intervention. Participant satisfaction was evaluated following the program. Changes in knowledge were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, while the association between participant satisfaction and knowledge improvement was examined using Spearman's correlation. Result: Knowledge scores improved in 27 of the 30 participants (90.0%) following the intervention. The proportion of students with high or very high knowledge increased from 23.3% at baseline to 76.7% after the program. Wilcoxon analysis demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in knowledge (p<0.001). Participant satisfaction was positively associated with knowledge improvement (r=0.381, p=0.038), and 90.0% of participants reported being satisfied or very satisfied with the educational program. Conclusion: The SI PETUALANG educational program effectively improved adolescents' knowledge of dental caries and the importance of early treatment. These findings support the integration of interactive, school-based oral health education into preventive oral health promotion programs to enhance adolescents' oral health literacy and encourage timely dental care utilization.

Health Education: Junk Food and Its Dangers to Children's Health

Ulfa Nurullita — 2026-07-31

Background: Elementary school-aged children are highly vulnerable to environmental influences on their dietary behaviors, particularly the frequent consumption of nutrient-poor snacks and fast food. The widespread availability and aggressive marketing of energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods have contributed to unhealthy eating habits, increasing the risk of obesity and other non-communicable diseases. Similar concerns were identified among children attending the At-Tanzil Hicom Learning Center in Shah Alam, Malaysia, many of whom come from socioeconomically disadvantaged families with limited parental supervision and low educational attainment. Objective: This community service program aimed to improve children's knowledge and awareness of healthy eating habits and the health risks associated with fast-food consumption through interactive nutrition education. Method: The program involved 15 children and two teachers. Educational interventions were delivered using interactive counseling supported by visual learning media, including flashcards, educational games, posters, brochures, and the development of a healthy school canteen proposal. Program outcomes were evaluated through direct observation of participants' understanding and engagement during educational activities. Result: Before the intervention, participants demonstrated limited knowledge of basic nutrition and healthy food choices. Following the educational sessions, children showed substantial improvements in their ability to distinguish healthy foods from unhealthy alternatives and to recognize the health risks associated with fast-food consumption. The use of visual aids and game-based learning effectively enhanced participants' comprehension, engagement, and active participation, despite their limited literacy levels. Conclusion: Interactive nutrition education is an effective approach for improving children's knowledge and awareness of healthy eating behaviors. However, sustained behavioral change requires continuous nutrition education, active parental involvement, and supportive school environments, including the implementation of healthy school canteen policies.

Abstract

Background: Access to clean water that meets health standards is essential for maintaining a healthy school environment. However, several schools within the service area of the Astanagarib Community Health Center, Cirebon City, rely on dug wells with inadequate sanitary conditions, increasing the risk of microbiological contamination, particularly because the distance between the wells and nearby latrines is less than the recommended 10 meters. Objective: This community service program aimed to assess the quality of clean water used in schools within the Astanagarib Community Health Center service area to ensure compliance with national health standards. Method: The program was conducted from October to November 2025 at six partner schools within the Astanagarib Community Health Center service area in Cirebon City. Data were collected through direct observation, interviews, environmental measurements, documentation, water sampling, and laboratory analyses of the physical, chemical, and microbiological quality of water. Result: All participating schools relied on dug wells as their primary source of clean water. A total of 83.3% of the wells did not meet the minimum recommended distance from latrines (<10 m). Physical and chemical analyses indicated that most water quality parameters complied with clean water standards. However, all water samples (100%) tested positive for Escherichia coli. The highest bacterial concentrations were detected at RA Aminah (101 CFU/100 mL) and PAUD Wijaya Kusuma 1 (70 CFU/100 mL). Conclusion: The microbiological quality of clean water in most participating schools did not meet health standards, primarily because of the inadequate separation distance between wells and latrines, poor well construction, and suboptimal environmental sanitation. Improvements in well construction, regular well disinfection, and routine water quality monitoring by schools in collaboration with community health centers are recommended to ensure the safety of water used in school settings.

Abstract

Background: Sabang, Indonesia's westernmost island, is a popular tourist destination with substantial population mobility, which may increase the risk of transmission of infectious diseases, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B, and malaria. In addition, Sabang has historically been a malaria-endemic area because its tropical climate and environmental characteristics provide favorable conditions for mosquito breeding. Community-based health promotion and early disease screening are therefore essential to strengthen infectious disease prevention and control. Objective: This community service program aimed to improve community awareness of infectious disease prevention through health education and screening for HIV, hepatitis B, and malaria. Method: A community-based intervention was conducted using interactive health education sessions followed by voluntary screening for HIV, hepatitis B, and malaria. The educational component focused on disease transmission, prevention strategies, and the importance of early detection. Screening outcomes were analyzed descriptively. Result: The program involved community members, representatives of the Sabang Health Office, the Indonesian Medical Association (IDI), and the Sabang Police Wives' Association. Among the 41 participants who underwent blood screening, all tested negative for HIV and hepatitis B, whereas one participant tested positive for malaria. The educational sessions also enhanced participants' awareness of infectious disease prevention and the importance of early health screening. Conclusion: Community-based health education combined with infectious disease screening is a feasible approach for improving public awareness and supporting the early detection of infectious diseases. Regular implementation of similar programs may strengthen promotive and preventive public health efforts, particularly in areas with high population mobility and a history of endemic infectious diseases.
