This activity aims to design, launch, and implement an integrated service model for the elderly that is integrated with local cultural approaches. The implementation method is carried out through a participatory approach involving the village government, lecturers, students, elderly families, health cadres, and cross-sector stakeholders. The series of activities includes cross-generational education through the Elderly Family School, the implementation of Fine Arts Group Activity Therapy, the empowerment of the elderly economy through product bazaars, and the signing of joint commitments. The results of the activity showed high enthusiasm from the elderly, families, and the village community; increased family knowledge about elderly care; as well as policy support from the village to district levels.

Memutus Rantai Isolasi: Efektivitas TAKS dalam Membangun Kembali Interaksi Sosial Pasien

Fredy Akbar K — 2025-09-07

This activity aims to increase social interaction and socialization of socially isolated patients through Socialization Group Activity Therapy (TAKS). The case study method was applied to 8 adult male patients at RSKD Dadi Makassar for two weeks in seven structured TAKS sessions. Results showed a significant improvement in patients' verbal communication skills, including introducing themselves, getting acquainted, conversing, and cooperating. The majority of patients showed verbal improvement (87.5%), while active nonverbal participation was 75%. However, the use of appropriate body language was still low (0%), indicating an increase in verbal dominance. The client's social isolation is dominated by psychological factors (unpleasant experiences, emotional trauma). TAKS has been shown to be effective in reducing symptoms of social isolation and gradually improving patients' social skills. Therefore, TAKS is recommended as an integral intervention in psychiatric rehabilitation. For sustainability and improved outcomes, more intensive nonverbal exercises are recommended as well as further research on the integration and long-term effectiveness of TAKS.

Dewi T. Lamato — 2025-09-12

Stunting remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, with lasting effects on children’s growth and development. The first 1,000 days of life, from pregnancy to the age of two, is a critical period to prevent stunting. Limited knowledge of nutrition, parenting, and healthy behaviors among pregnant women and families contributes to its high prevalence. This community service aimed to improve pregnant women’s knowledge about stunting prevention through participatory education. The activity was conducted in Tolisu and Rusa Kencana Villages, Toili II Health Center, Banggai, in July 2025 with 30 pregnant women. Counseling sessions used the Maternal and Child Health handbook and interactive discussions, with knowledge assessed using pre-test and post-test. Results showed a 42% increase in average scores (from 8.9 to 9.5). The program improved awareness of balanced nutrition, exclusive breastfeeding, and healthy practices. This educational intervention proved effective and can be sustained in rural communities.

This community service activity aims to increase the knowledge and attitude of Posyandu cadres in early detection of stunting in toddlers. The activity was held at Posyandu Seruni, Mapane Tambu Village, Balaesang District, Donggala Regency, Central Sulawesi, on July 22 - 28, 2025. The main target is 15 active cadres, with mothers under five as indirect beneficiaries. The implementation method includes interactive training, counseling, field practice, and mentoring. The material provided includes the basic concept of stunting, anthropometric measurement techniques, classification of nutritional status, and health communication using leaflet media. The evaluation was carried out through observation of cadre practice, group discussions, short questionnaires, and oral feedback from participants. The results of the activity showed an increase in cadres' understanding of the concept of stunting and skills in conducting early detection independently. Media leaflets have been proven to help in the educational process for mothers under five. This activity has a positive impact on the readiness of cadres as the spearhead of monitoring child growth and development at the posyandu level. It is hoped that similar training can be carried out on an ongoing basis to strengthen stunting prevention in the community.
