PENCEGAHAN PENYAKIT MENULAR SEKSUAL SEBAGAI LANGKAH PENGUATAN KESEHATAN REPRODUKSI REMAJA
Adolescence is an important transitional phase from childhood to adulthood, characterized by biological, emotional, social, and cognitive changes. During this period, adolescents become a vulnerable age group to reproductive health problems, including sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The lack of knowledge regarding the definition of STIs, the problems they cause, and ways to maintain reproductive health increases the risks faced by adolescents. This community service activity was carried out at SMK Rise, Cirebon Regency, on April 29, 2026, involving 26 students, with the aim of improving the knowledge of grade X students about STIs. The method used was interactive counseling with leaflets and videos, so that the material could be delivered visually, attractively, and easily understood. The activity was conducted by lecturers together with D3 Midwifery students, who not only provided education to the students but also gained real field experience to practice communication and health counseling skills. Based on the results of a self-assessment survey, it was found that most students did not have a deep understanding of STIs and reproductive health. The priority problem identified was the lack of knowledge regarding the definition of STIs, their impacts, and ways to maintain reproductive health. After the counseling session, participants showed enthusiasm and demonstrated improved understanding of the material presented.

Neonatal asphyxia is an early-life emergency that requires rapid, accurate, and standardized responses from primary health-care providers. This community service program aimed to improve knowledge and basic neonatal resuscitation skills through Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) Basic simulation for primary health-care workers at Kebonsari Primary Health Center. The program included partner coordination, needs assessment, module and SOP/checklist development, a two-day training consisting of brief lectures, skills stations, clinical scenarios, and evaluation using pretest-posttest and OSCE/checklists. Twenty-five participants joined the training. The mean knowledge score increased from 58 to 84, reflecting a 26-point improvement. Twenty-two participants (88%) achieved competency in positive pressure ventilation, while 20 participants (80%) were competent in chest compression and team coordination stations. The activity also produced a package of SOPs, checklists, pocket algorithm cards, and equipment readiness checklists. NRP Basic simulation is useful to strengthen primary care readiness in the initial management of newborns with breathing difficulties.

Workshop Birth Companion untuk Menurunkan Kecemasan Ibu Bersalin
Anxiety before childbirth may reduce maternal comfort and potentially affect the labor process. This community service program aimed to strengthen the husband's role as a birth companion through a childbirth support workshop. The target participants were couples/pregnant women in the partner area. The program consisted of education on stages of labor, training in non-pharmacological support techniques including effleurage massage, counterpressure, labor positioning, breathing exercises, positive affirmation, and distribution of self-learning educational media. Evaluation was conducted through pre-test and post-test knowledge assessment, observation of husbands' practical skills, and maternal anxiety assessment using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale. The results showed an increase in husbands' practical skills from approximately 25-30% before the workshop to an average of 88% after the intervention. Maternal anxiety also decreased, with most respondents shifting from severe anxiety to mild or no anxiety. The workshop indicates that structured husband involvement can enhance physical and psychological support for mothers during childbirth.
