The postpartum period is a crucial phase for mothers to recover after childbirth. One of the common problems is perineal wounds, caused either by episiotomy or spontaneous rupture, which require proper care to prevent infection and accelerate healing. This case study aimed to provide midwifery care for Mrs. M, 28 years old, P3A0H3, with a second-degree perineal wound at PMB Bd. Silvi Ayu, S.Keb. The SOAP approach was applied through assessment, diagnosis, intervention, implementation, and evaluation over five days (June 12–16, 2025). Interventions included education on perineal hygiene, encouragement of nutritious food intake, light mobilization, and perineal wound care using boiled binahong leaves. The results showed decreased pain, reduced edema, a dry wound, and complete healing on the fifth day, with the REEDA score decreasing from 11 to 0. The discussion emphasized that flavonoids, saponins, and ascorbic acid in binahong leaves contribute to tissue regeneration and faster healing. Limitations of this study included the short monitoring period, limited sample, and reliance on maternal compliance. In conclusion, binahong leaf decoction was found to be effective, practical, and able to enhance maternal independence in wound care. This study is expected to serve as a reference for midwifery practice and as a basis for further research with a wider scope.

Stunting remains one of the major chronic nutritional problems in Indonesia, including in Oesapa Village, Kelapa Lima District, Kupang City, East Nusa Tenggara Province.

This program provides direct benefits by improving employee competence, professionalism, and guest satisfaction, while also supporting the implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education and strengthening collaboration between academia and the hotel industry. The expected outcomes include improved staff skills, higher service quality, and a replicable training model for similar hotels.

The rapid rise of short-form social media platforms, particularly TikTok, among adolescents has raised concerns regarding excessive use and potential behavioral addiction that may negatively affect mental health and academic functioning. This community engagement program aimed to screen the risk of TikTok addiction among secondary school students in West Jakarta and provide education on healthy digital practices. The program was conducted at one private school in Jelambar, involving 306 students aged 11–18 years. Screening was performed using the TikTok Addiction Scale (TTAS) followed by digital literacy education. A Plan–Do–Check–Action (PDCA) framework was applied to ensure systematic implementation. The mean TTAS score was 39.97 ± 14.24 (range 20–84), indicating diverse levels of TikTok engagement. Female students demonstrated higher scores and wider distribution, suggesting greater vulnerability to excessive social media use. Digital hygiene and screen-time management education enhanced students’ awareness regarding social media addiction risks and appropriate preventive strategies. This program demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of TTAS-based screening for early identification of TikTok addiction risk. It highlighted the importance of integrating digital health promotion into school-based mental health programs to support adolescent well-being.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major health problem in Indonesia, particularly in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) where overcrowding and low awareness increase transmission risks. This community engagement aimed to improve knowledge, early detection, and reduce TB stigma at SMA Dar El Iman Islamic Boarding School, Padang.

Since the era of COVID-19 until now, maintaining personal hygiene has become a shared obligation globally. In Indonesia, soap is an essential item for both personal hygiene and environmental hygiene. Due to the great public interest in soap, especially facial soap, there are now more choices for businesses to make soap for the local market. Empowering the surrounding community, especially the PKK women's organization, to make facial soap can be done independently or in groups because the method of manufacture is quite simple. The general public's knowledge of the components and methods of making facial soap is still very minimal. This community service activity aims to teach PKK women’s how to make face soap and give them insight into home-based business options. PKK women in Cikageman Village, Setu, Bekasi Regency became a group of activity partners. This activity is expected to be able to improve people's welfare, especially in the economic sector, as well as increase knowledge and independence in entrepreneurship. This community service activity uses a strategy that includes partner coordination, counseling, assistance in making face soap, evaluation, and follow-up. The end result of this community service activity is in the form of facial soap products that have been packaged and distributed to local residents, as well as partner groups who already have skills in producing face soap independently.

Post-harvest handling of fish requires an effective cold chain system, including the availability of ice factories, to preserve the quality and freshness of catches. The presence of an ice factory enables fishermen to bring ice during fishing trips, ensuring the catch remains safe for consumption. The planning of a portable mini ice factory in Ciwaru Village, located within the Ciletuh National Geopark, aims to maintain fish quality along the southern coast of West Java. Although several ice factories exist in Sukabumi Regency, their availability at fish landing sites such as the Ciwaru Fish Auction Place (TPI) remains insufficient. According to the Regulation of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries No. 2 of 2021, assistance for ice factory construction is provided to fishermen groups following a feasibility study submission. This community service project aims to assist fishermen cooperatives in improving cold chain management and preparing a feasibility study for ice factory development. Key issues identified include limited human resource competence, hygiene and sanitation challenges, feasibility study preparation, and internal communication enhancement within cooperatives. Solutions are implemented through training programs, cold chain method applications, feasibility analysis for mini ice factories, and the development of an information system for fishermen. The planned ice factory unit has a capacity of 1 ton per 8-hour cycle, supported by three freshwater wells near the site. Economic analysis reveals an NPV of Rp1,170,676,141, an IRR of 10.91%, and a Net B/C Ratio of 1.64, with a BEP at 311 tons/year, well below the installed capacity of 788 tons/year, confirming its economic viability. The resulting feasibility study will serve as the basis for applying for government assistance, complemented by scientific publications, national media coverage, video documentation, and intellectual property registration.
