Teknik Motivation In-Jar Untuk Meningkatkan Efikasi Diri Penerima Manfaat Di Sentra Wirajaya Makassar

2026-05-24T19:08:29+08:00

Introduction: Sentra Wirajaya Makassar provides social rehabilitation services for vulnerable groups, including individuals with mental and physical disabilities, children in conflict with the law (CCL), survivors of narcotics, psychotropic, and addictive substances (NAPZA), and children requiring special attention (AMPK). Service recipients (Penerima Manfaat/PM) commonly face psychological challenges such as low self-motivation, lack of enthusiasm, and an unclear sense of life direction, which collectively contribute to low self-efficacy.

Objective: The purpose of this service was to implement the Motivation In-Jar technique as a psychosocial intervention to enhance the self-efficacy of PM at Sentra Wirajaya Makassar.

Method: This public service was conducted using a descriptive qualitative approach over two months. Implementation stages included initial assessment, compilation of affirmation messages, daily application of the Motivation In-Jar technique, group discussions, and reflective evaluation. Data were collected through observation and informal interviews, then analyzed thematically.

Result: Most PM, particularly from the CCL and NAPZA groups, showed improvements in self-motivation, enthusiasm for daily activities, and awareness of life meaning. However, a small number of PM found the affirmation language too formal and insufficiently relevant to their personal experiences.

Conclusion: The Motivation In-Jar technique proved effective, practical, and applicable as a psychosocial strategy supporting social rehabilitation. Affirmation messages should be tailored to the linguistic characteristics and personal backgrounds of each PM group to maximize impact.

Optimalisasi Kompetensi Kader Kesehatan melalui Pelatihan Positive Reinforcement

2026-07-09T22:38:51+08:00

Introduction: Behavior problems in children (tantrum, aggressive, etc), are commonly encountered in daily life. Parents tend to apply discipline patterns based on punishment, which may have negative long-term effects on child development. Health cadres have the potential as agents of change through parenting education. However, most cadres have not yet received training on positive reinforcement, resulting in suboptimal performance of their role in this area.

Objective: The aim was to improve the knowledge and skills of health cadres in applying positive reinforcement in child-rearing practices.

Method: This community service activity was conducted at the Bandungrejosari Village Hall, on June 3–5, 2026 (three meetings) involving 45 health cadres from Bandungrejosari Village, Malang City. The program consisted of education and training sessions covering topics: parenting styles, behavior management, and positive reinforcement. The empowerment methods used included lectures, discussions, and simulation/role play. The community team used questionnaire to evaluate the knowledge, and observation sheet to evaluate cadres’ skill. The pre and post-test score were calculated, and categorized using N-Gain score.

Result: The results showed an increase in cadres’ knowledge with an average N-Gain score of 0.75 (high category), as well as an improvement in skills in applying positive reinforcement with an N-Gain score of 0.70 (high category).

Conclusion: The training effectively enhanced the competencies of health cadres. Its effectiveness was attributed to the use of an interactive role-play approach and training materials tailored to the participants' needs.

Optimalisasi Sinergi Pelayanan Pemeriksaan HIV pada Ibu Hamil melalui Pertemuan Jejaring Mitra di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Pallangga

2026-07-26T20:26:58+08:00

Introduction: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) transmission from mother to child remains a critical public health issue during pregnancy. At Puskesmas Pallangga, the coverage rate for HIV screening among pregnant women has not yet reached the optimal Minimum Service Standard (SPM) target, primarily due to low community awareness, stigma, and lack of coordinated referral pathways with private health provider networks.

Objective: The purpose of this service was to optimize HIV screening coverage among pregnant women at Puskesmas Pallangga through interactive visual health education and cross-network partner collaboration.

Method: This public service was conducted by implementing interactive health education sessions using visual poster media for pregnant women and holding synergy coordination meetings with partner health networks (clinic representatives, independent midwives, and cadres) at Puskesmas Pallangga on July 14, 2026. The evaluation assessed participants' engagement, understanding, and the establishment of referral workflow agreements.

Result: Quantitative baseline data at Puskesmas Pallangga in 2025 indicated that out of a total SPM target of 1,401 pregnant women, 1,132 women were tested for HIV, achieving an 80.8% coverage rate. Consequently, 269 pregnant women (19.2%) remained untested, mainly because they received antenatal care (ANC) at partner network facilities that lacked HIV testing kits and referral protocols. Following the intervention, participant engagement reached 100%, leading to enhanced knowledge regarding HIV screening benefits and the successful creation of an integrated referral pathway connecting 3 partner network clinics to Puskesmas Pallangga.

Conclusion: Integrating visual media-based health education with partner network coordination serves as an effective strategy to improve public awareness and resolve screening gaps to achieve complete HIV testing coverage among pregnant women.

2026-08-30T08:28:14+08:00

Introduction: Improving the quality of nursing services and patient safety requires effective nursing management, particularly in inpatient settings. The assessment at the Inpatient Installation of Medika Sangatta Hospital identified several management problems, including suboptimal nursing assignment methods, inadequate clinical supervision, ineffective quality control and measurement systems, and limited implementation of nursing management functions.

Objective: The purpose of this community service was to optimize nursing management functions to improve the quality of nursing services and patient safety in the Inpatient Installation of Medika Sangatta Hospital.

Method: This community service was conducted through a systematic problem-solving approach consisting of an initial assessment, identification of management problems, strategic analysis using the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) framework, prioritization of problems using the Urgency, Seriousness, and Growth (USG) method, and identification of root causes using Fishbone analysis. Based on the identified priorities, interventions included the socialization and optimization of nursing management, strengthening of clinical supervision by head nurses, implementation of structured SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation) communication during shift handovers, and reinforcement of quality and patient safety monitoring.

Result: The assessment identified several weaknesses in nursing management, including suboptimal nursing assignment methods, inadequate understanding of roles and work mechanisms, limited clinical supervision, suboptimal nursing care management, and ineffective quality control and measurement systems. SWOT analysis identified organizational strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that influenced nursing service management. USG analysis was used to determine priority problems, while Fishbone analysis identified root causes related to human resources, materials, methods, measurement, and equipment. The implementation of nursing management optimization contributed to improved clinical supervision, more structured communication during handovers through SBAR, better adherence to nursing service and patient safety procedures, and strengthening of the patient safety culture. The intervention also supported reductions in patient safety events, including patient falls and medication errors, as well as improvement in inpatient satisfaction.

Conclusion: Optimization of nursing management through SWOT, USG, and Fishbone analysis followed by targeted interventions can support improvements in nursing service quality and patient safety in inpatient settings. Strengthening clinical supervision, structured communication, and quality monitoring should be continued as part of sustainable nursing management improvement.

Pendampingan Penggunaan Aplikasi CASTING untuk Pemantauan Status Gizi Balita Berbasis Android di Desa Surenlor Kabupaten Trenggalek

2026-08-27T20:57:44+08:00

Introduction: Stunting remains one of Indonesia's major chronic nutrition problems, with national prevalence at 21.5% (2023) and 19.8% (2024). Community awareness and active participation in monthly growth monitoring at posyandu are still limited, particularly in mountainous villages such as Surenlor, Trenggalek, where limited internet connectivity and low health literacy make it difficult for parents to understand and follow up on their children's nutritional status.

Objective: to increase the awareness and active participation of parents and the community of Surenlor Village in monitoring toddler nutrition through CASTING (Care & Stunting Tracker), an offline-first Android application that automates WHO 2006/Permenkes No. 2/2020 anthropometric Z-score calculation and presents the results in an easily understood visual format for four nutritional indicators (TB/U, BB/U, BB/TB, IMT/U).

Method: This community service activity was conducted on August 6, 2026, in Surenlor Village, Bendungan District, Trenggalek Regency, involving eight parents or guardians of toddlers. The activity comprised three stages: preparation (coordination with the Village Government and Posyandu volunteers), implementation (presentation on stunting and the CASTING application's functionality, followed by a hands-on session where participants installed and used the app), and evaluation (recording participation and administering a questionnaire to assess participants' self-perceived ability to use the application).

Result: A total of eight participants completed the entire activity; seven of them successfully installed and used the CASTING application independently, and seven expressed an intention to regularly monitor their children's nutritional status using the app. Based on the participants' self-assessments, the highest proficiency was demonstrated in installing the application and entering measurement data, whereas understanding the "Growth Oracle" feature still required further guidance for the majority of participants.

Conclusion: The CASTING mentoring program effectively fostered active parental participation in the independent monitoring of toddler nutritional status in Surenlor Village. An offline-first, app-based approach proved suitable for areas with limited internet connectivity. Ongoing support and the strengthening of digital literacy remain necessary particularly regarding more technical features as part of plans to expand the initiative to other villages in Bendungan District.

Introduction: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) may delay recovery after spinal anaesthesia. A presurvey at RSU Emanuel estimated that PONV occurred in approximately 15% of patients each month and could persist despite ondansetron.

Objective: This community service activity aimed to describe changes in PONV categories following education and Pericardium 6 (P6) acupressure.

Method: A descriptive one-group before-after evaluation was conducted from 23 July to 12 August 2026 among 30 adult patients with PONV after spinal anaesthesia. After institutional permission, ethical approval, and written consent, participants received leaflet-based education, baseline assessment using the Gordon Score, three minutes of standardized P6 pressure, and immediate reassessment within an approximately 15-minute session. Data were summarized using frequencies and percentages.

Result: Before the session, 28 participants (93.3%) had nausea only (Score 1) and 2 (6.7%) had vomiting or retching (Score 2). At immediate reassessment, 12 participants (40.0%) reported no nausea or vomiting (Score 0), 18 (60.0%) still had nausea, and none was recorded in Score 2.

Conclusion: The session was followed by a favorable change in the distribution of PONV categories. Because there was no control group, follow-up was immediate, and antiemetic and perioperative factors were not controlled, the findings do not establish causal effectiveness. P6 may be considered a simple adjunct to routine PONV management with continued clinical monitoring.
