Peningkatan Pendidikan Reproduksi pada Anak Disabilitas Intelektual
Children with intellectual disabilities are often subjected to violence because their intellectual limitations prevent them from realizing that they have undergone physical changes, so they do not mind when other people touch them. The results of a needs assessment conducted by Rutgers WPF Indonesia together with the Directorate of PKLK Development of the Ministry of Education and Culture in 2017 in three provinces in Indonesia showed that adolescents with intellectual disabilities have low knowledge about the concepts of women and men, puberty, pregnancy, healthy relationships, and protection from sexual violence. Sexual violence against persons with disabilities is a serious problem in Indonesia, including in Banjar Regency. The purpose of this community service is to provide an understanding of reproductive health using magnetic crossword puzzle boards and Flip Chat at SLB N 2 Martapura. With increased knowledge and understanding, children with disabilities can identify actions that should not be done to them by others. The results of this community service program indicate that improving reproductive education for children with intellectual disabilities through the pre-test and post-test method is effective in enhancing their knowledge. The pre-test results showed that only 4 respondents (13%) had good knowledge, while in the post-test, this number increased to 20 respondents (67%). This improvement helps the children understand how to behave and act assertively to protect themselves, as well as encourages them to seek help immediately if they encounter any indication of a crime directed at them.

Pencegahan Anemia dan Menjaga Kesehatan Reproduksi pada Remaja Putri
Anemia among adolescent girls remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, with a prevalence of more than 30%. This condition affects learning concentration, productivity, and reproductive health in the future. Orphanages represent one of the vulnerable environments since adolescent girls are at risk of inadequate nutritional intake. This community service activity aimed to improve knowledge of adolescent girls regarding anemia prevention and reproductive health, and to obtain an overview of anemia status through hemoglobin (Hb) examination. The methods included a pre-test, interactive counseling and discussion, Hb measurement, and a post-test involving 35 adolescent girls at Muhammadiyah Girls’ Orphanage in Martapura. The results showed an increase in knowledge scores from an average of 46% at pre-test to 79% at post-test. Hb examination revealed that 62.9% of participants had normal Hb levels, while 37.1% were anemic, ranging from mild to moderate. This activity proved effective in increasing participants’ knowledge and provided objective data on their health condition. These findings highlight the importance of continuous educational programs and regular health monitoring for adolescent girls, especially in orphanage settings, to reduce anemia prevalence and support reproductive health.

Pengabdian Masyarakat untuk Pendampingan Ibu Nifas dengan Teknik Pijat Oketani dan Oksitosin : Meningkatkan Kualitas Menyusui di Desa Awang Bangkal Barat Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Karang Intan 2 Kabupaten Banjar
Community service on postpartum mother assistance using Oketani and oxytocin massage techniques was carried out in Awang Bangkal Barat Village, Karang Intan 2 Public Health Center area, Banjar Regency. This activity was based on the limited knowledge of postpartum mothers regarding massage techniques that can increase breast milk production, whereas the success of exclusive breastfeeding is crucial for infant growth and the prevention of stunting. The program was conducted through counseling, discussions, Q&A sessions, and massage practice facilitated by lecturers, midwifery students, and midwives from the public health center. Knowledge evaluation was performed using pre-test and post-test assessments. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge: the “good” category improved from 40% to 80%, while the “poor” category decreased from 30% to 0%. Beyond improved knowledge, Oketani and oxytocin massage techniques were proven effective in supporting smooth breast milk production through neuroendocrine mechanisms and improved breast tissue function. These findings emphasize that education and assistance with massage techniques for postpartum mothers serve as simple, safe, and beneficial non-pharmacological interventions to support breastfeeding success. Thus, this activity contributes to reducing the risk of exclusive breastfeeding failure and plays an important role in stunting prevention in the local community.

Aging is a process of increasing age that involves a decline in the body's ability to repair itself, leading to psychological problems, physical, mental, and socioeconomic decline. Older adults often experience joint problems that interfere with their activities and independence. Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the main causes of knee pain in the elderly, characterized by degeneration of joint cartilage, stiffness, and limited movement. This condition has an impact on the decline in quality of life and independence of the elderly. The prevalence of joint disease in Indonesia is quite high, especially in people over the age of 55. OA is more common in women due to hormonal, anatomical, and physical activity factors. This activity aims to provide physiotherapy education on prevention, non-pharmacological treatment, and simple exercises to support knee function in elderly people with OA. The educational activity was carried out at the Cantewa Health Center, Mojolangu, Malang City, with 15 participants (1 male, 14 females). The methods used included interactive lectures, discussions, and demonstrations of quadriceps strengthening exercises and knee muscle stretching. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' understanding of risk factors, symptoms, and simple exercises in the prevention and management of knee OA. This activity has implications for increasing the awareness of the elderly to perform light physical exercises regularly as a strategy to maintain knee joint health.

Penyuluhan Ergonomi Aktivitas pada Pasien Low Back Pain Di RSUD Dr. Iskak Tulungagung
Low Back Pain (LBP) is a common complaint often caused by non-ergonomic sitting postures. Factors causing LBP include individual factors such as age, gender, and length of service, as well as occupational factors such as static body positions, repetitive movements, and excessive force exertion. This condition can lead to decreased productivity due to lost work time. This study aims to increase the elderly's understanding of the symptoms and causes of LBP and provide education regarding independent home exercises as a preventative measure. Work requires an ergonomic work position, because non-ergonomic work postures can increase the likelihood of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). These musculoskeletal disorders can reduce worker productivity, cause longer production times and increase worker absenteeism. Understanding ergonomic work positions is crucial for workers. Physiotherapy, as a health service that focuses on the development, maintenance, and recovery of body parts due to physical disorders, can help prevent musculoskeletal problems by utilizing ergonomic principles. Before starting the counseling, researchers filled out a questionnaire or pre-test with patients and after the counseling, a post-test was administered. The results of the counseling obtained based on the pre-test and post-test showed a 100% increase in understanding of educational material related to ergonomic work postures and stretching exercises.

Advokasi Pelaksanaan Kegiatan Investing in Nutrition and Early Years (INEY) Fase II di Kota Kupang
Stunting has become a national development priority for the Government of Indonesia, including in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province, with a targeted reduction rate of 14% by 2024. Stunting is a manifestation of chronic growth failure in children under the age of five, primarily resulting from prolonged nutritional deficiencies and repeated infections, particularly during the first 1,000 days of life (from conception to two years of age). Children affected by stunting exhibit a height-for-age below the standard growth reference. Beyond its impact on physical stature, stunting also compromises brain development and has long-term consequences on cognitive function and overall productivity.The persistence of stunting is attributed to the insufficient implementation of both specific and sensitive interventions targeting young children and their mothers. The Accelerated Stunting Prevention Program through the Investing in Nutrition and Early Years (INEY) Phase 2 supports catalytic investments aimed at strengthening implementation capacity and systems, while promoting a multisectoral approach to stunting reduction. Advocacy serves as a persuasive communication strategy to influence government stakeholders and local authorities in Kupang City to support the execution of the INEY program. The involvement of Kupang Health Polytechnic (Poltekkes Kemenkes Kupang) is expected to enhance the effectiveness of efforts to reduce the prevalence of stunting in East Nusa Tenggara, particularly in Kupang City.

Peningkatan Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat (PHBS) sebagai Upaya Pencegahan Stunting melalui Kegiatan Edukasi di SD Negeri Tunfeu 2 Kabupaten Nekamese
Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that poses a major challenge to the development of quality human resources. The condition is not only influenced by inadequate nutritional intake, but also by environmental and behavioral factors. One of the factors that contribute to stunting is the low level of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS), especially the habit of washing hands properly. Previous studies confirm that proper handwashing behavior, as part of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS), has a significant correlation with reducing stunting. In addition to nutritional interventions, stunting prevention also requires changes in community behavior (PHBS) through effective education. The purpose of this community service activity is to increase elementary school students' knowledge about PHBS as an effort to prevent stunting. The implementation method includes educational counseling, discussion, six-step hand washing simulation, and evaluation through pre-test and post-test. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' knowledge, where students with good knowledge increased by 73%, and students with poor knowledge decreased to 7%. In addition, students' hand washing practice skills also showed improvement. PHBS education carried out from an early age has proven to be effective in shaping hygienic behavior and supporting efforts to reduce the prevalence of stunting in the future.

Deteksi Dini Risiko Diabetes Melitus melalui Pemeriksaan Gula Darah pada Remaja Putri
The rising prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus among young populations is becoming an alarming public health issue. One of the key contributing factors is the lack of awareness and delayed early detection, particularly among adolescent girls who are vulnerable to unhealthy lifestyle changes. This community service project aimed to perform early detection of type 2 diabetes melitus risk through random blood glucose screening and interactive health education for seventh-grade female students at SMP Nurul Jadid. The method involved random blood glucose testing using calibrated digital glucometers on 42 participants, followed by health education sessions through lectures and discussions, and evaluation using pretest and posttest questionnaires. Results showed that 21.4% of participants were in the prediabetes category, while the average knowledge score increased significantly from 56.2 to 92.6 after the education session. Participants also demonstrated high levels of active engagement and interest in health-related topics. These findings highlight the importance of early detection and school-based health education in preventing type 2 diabetes melitus. This activity proved effective in improving students' knowledge and awareness and holds strong potential to be developed into a sustainable preventive health program within the educational environment.

Stunting is a growth and development disorder characterized by a low height-for-age (H/A) index, with a Z-score less than -2 SD based on the WHO growth standards. This condition is caused by chronic malnutrition over a prolonged period and is influenced by both direct factors, such as inadequate nutrient intake, and indirect factors, such as suboptimal childcare practices. One of the key strategies for stunting prevention is nutritional intervention using locally available, nutrient-rich foods. Sago and moringa are two local food sources with great potential, offering a synergistic combination of energy (from sago) and micronutrients (from moringa). Processed products such as sago-moringa cookies provide a nutritious, affordable, and culturally acceptable food alternative. This community service activity aims to improve the knowledge and skills of pregnant women and mothers of toddlers in processing local food ingredients to prevent stunting. The method used was educational outreach focusing on the benefits of consuming sago-moringa cookies. The results of this activity showed an increase in the knowledge and skills of the target participants in utilizing local food as a preventive measure against stunting, while also supporting local food security and community economic empowerment.
