OPTIMALKAN CAKUPAN IMUNISASI DASAR LENGKAP MELALUI EDUKASI KEPADA IBU BAYI DI DESA TEMBUNG

2025-12-17T11:49:51+00:00

Complete basic immunisation is a key public health intervention to prevent infectious diseases in infants. However, immunisation coverage remains suboptimal, particularly due to limited maternal knowledge and negative perceptions. This study aimed to assess the effect of health education on mothers’ attitudes toward complete basic immunisation in Tembung Village, Deli Serdang Regency. A pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was employed, involving 20 mothers with infants, purposively selected from three hamlets with low immunisation coverage. The intervention consisted of interactive health education addressing the benefits, schedule, and common post-immunisation reactions. Maternal attitudes were measured using structured questionnaires before and after the intervention and analysed descriptively. The results demonstrated an improvement in positive attitudes across all indicators following education, including acceptance of immunisation despite concerns about side effects and access barriers. These findings indicate that community-based health education effectively enhances maternal acceptance of immunisation. Nevertheless, short-term evaluation may be subject to social desirability bias, underscoring the need for sustained, repeated educational interventions.

The highest TPC was observed in papaya, while the lowest was found in bananas; coliforms and S. aureus were detected in several samples. These findings highlight the critical role of packaging methods in reducing microbiological risks and can inform the development of more hygienic packaging policies, as well as improve consumer and vendor awareness of safe handling practices.

2025-11-29T10:58:45+00:00

Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious disease primarily affecting the lungs and remains the leading cause of infectious death worldwide. It spreads through droplets when an infected person coughs or speaks, and if untreated, it can lead to severe complications. Indonesia has a high TB burden, with cases expected to rise by 2023. The low public awareness, particularly in areas with limited information access, contributes to the high incidence and treatment failures. Health education is an essential strategy to increase understanding of early detection, prevention, and treatment of TB. Community service activities, such as providing TB education at SMA Negeri 1 Kutalimbaru, are crucial to support TB prevention efforts. The purpose of this activity, held on October 29, 2025, was to increase students' knowledge, raise awareness about the risks and impacts of TB, and teach preventive measures. The event involved five lecturers, two students, and 30 student participants. It included lectures, discussions, and enforcement of coughing/sneezing etiquette, allowing students to practice proper etiquette. The success of the activity was measured through pre- and post-test questions to evaluate the increase in participants' knowledge and practical skills. The results showed a significant improvement in students' understanding of TB prevention, with the highest pre-test score being 66 and the highest post-test score reaching 90. Feedback from the students confirmed their increased awareness. This educational activity effectively contributed to TB prevention by promoting proper coughing etiquette, strengthening both school and community-based prevention efforts.

PENINGKATAN MUTU PENDIDIKAN TINGGI MELALUI SOSIALISASI DAN IMPLEMENTASI SPMI BERDASARKAN PERMENDIKBUDRISTEK NO. 53 TAHUN 2023

2025-12-17T11:39:41+00:00

The issuance of Permendikbudristek Number 53 of 2023 marks a paradigm shift in higher education quality assurance from a compliance-based approach to an outcome-based approach. Although it provides greater flexibility and autonomy, this policy also poses challenges in the form of differences in regulatory interpretation, inconsistencies in standards, and the persistent perception that the Internal Quality Assurance System (SPMI) is an administrative burden, especially for universities that are not yet ready to adapt. This community service activity aims to assist the Mitra Gama Institute of Technology (ITMG) in responding to the transition of quality assurance policies in a strategic and applicable manner. The implementation method used a Participatory Action Learning approach, which included an analysis of gaps in SPMI implementation, dissemination of policy perceptions, technical workshops on updating SPMI documents, and internal quality audit simulations to ensure the implementation of the PPEPP cycle. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in participants' understanding of the concept of output-based quality assurance. The percentage of participants who understood the difference between compliance-based and outcome-based approaches increased from 35% before the activity to 90% after the dissemination and workshop. In addition, the perception that the Internal Quality Assurance System (SPMI) was an administrative burden decreased dramatically, from 65% before the activity to 10% after the activity. These findings were reinforced by the increased ability of the quality team to close the PPEPP cycle through the formulation of concrete and measurable corrective actions. Overall, this activity was effective in strengthening the foundation of an adaptive, outcome-oriented internal quality assurance system that supports continuous quality improvement at ITMG.
