Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the leading causes of disability among the elderly population. This degenerative joint disease is characterized by progressive damage to the articular cartilage and structural alterations of the knee joint, resulting in pain, reduced mobility, and diminished quality of life. This Community Service Program (PKM) aimed to promote early detection of knee OA through simple radiological screening as a preventive strategy to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disability. The activity was conducted at Asisi Church, South Jakarta, involving 87 participants aged 54–87 years (mean 70.77 ± 7.32 years). Radiological examination was performed using standard anteroposterior knee X-rays, and results were classified according to the Kellgren–Lawrence grading system. Findings revealed that 98.9% of participants exhibited radiological signs of OA, predominantly grade II (60.9%), followed by grade III (21.8%), grade I (11.5%), and grade IV (4.6%), while only 1.1% showed normal results. Female participants (74.7%) predominated across all OA grades, indicating hormonal and biomechanical influences on disease progression. The mean age increased with OA severity, supporting the degenerative theory that aging leads to decreased chondrocyte function and cartilage elasticity. In addition to screening, participants received education on weight management, muscle strengthening exercises, and injury prevention. The results demonstrate that simple radiological screening is an effective, practical, and cost-efficient community-based approach for early detection of knee OA. Integrating such preventive strategies within primary care systems could significantly reduce the burden of disability among the elderly population.

Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) health is an essential component of adolescents’ well-being and learning performance; however, health literacy related to ENT care among senior high school students remains limited. This community service activity aimed to improve students’ knowledge and basic ENT skills at SMA Negeri 9 Pekanbaru through skill lab–based learning as a school health promotion strategy. The program was conducted through theoretical education covering basic ENT anatomy and common ENT disorders among adolescents, followed by hands-on training in simple ENT examinations using demonstration and direct practice with learning aids. Evaluation was carried out using pre-test and post-test assessments to measure knowledge improvement, as well as direct observation to assess students’ practical skills. The results demonstrated a clear increase in students’ knowledge after the intervention, along with improved ability to perform basic ENT examinations under instructor guidance. Students also showed better understanding of early signs of ENT disorders and appropriate preventive behaviors. Participation and enthusiasm during the activities were high, and most students reported that the program was beneficial and relevant to their daily experiences. This activity also supported the School Health Unit (UKS) program and strengthened collaboration between the school and the university. In conclusion, skill lab–based basic ENT training is an effective promotive and preventive approach to enhancing ENT health literacy and basic clinical skills among senior high school students.

They also experienced trauma in introducing their children to their social environment and exhibited heightened concerns regarding their children's careers and futures.

Post-spinal anesthesia nausea and vomiting (PSANV) are common side effects that can affect patient comfort and recovery after surgery. This condition often disrupts the recovery process and may extend the post-operative care period. One non-pharmacological method that can help reduce nausea and vomiting is deep breathing techniques. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of deep breathing techniques in reducing the incidence of nausea and vomiting after spinal anesthesia. The method used in this study is a pre-test and post-test design, with an intervention consisting of deep breathing exercises for patients undergoing surgery with spinal anesthesia. A pre-test was conducted before the intervention to assess the incidence of nausea and vomiting in patients. After patients practiced deep breathing exercises for a certain period, a post-test was performed to evaluate changes in the frequency of nausea and vomiting post-operation. The results showed a significant reduction in the frequency of nausea and vomiting after patients practiced deep breathing techniques. This technique has proven to be a simple, safe, and effective method to enhance post-operative comfort. Therefore, the implementation of deep breathing techniques can be recommended as part of post-spinal anesthesia management in healthcare facilities to improve patient recovery quality.
