Obstructive ileus is a digestive system disorder characterized by a blockage caused by abnormalities in the intestinal lumen, intestinal wall, or foreign objects outside the intestine. Blockages in this intestinal area can cause accumulation or buildup at the site of the blockage. Patients with obstructive ileus generally experience complaints such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, bowel disorders, flatus (gas) disorders, and the most common symptom is abdominal pain. The goal of this community service is to enable families to understand the definition, causes, and management of obstructive ileus and to practice applying warm compresses to minimize pain in the affected area. The methods used in this activity were counseling, interactive discussions, and practice of applying warm compresses. The media used were leaflets and flipcharts. The results obtained from this health education activity can improve patient (family) knowledge and practice in applying warm compresses to relieve pain. It is hoped that after this activity, patients (families) can apply knowledge of how to manage pain independently as an initial preventative measure to reduce pain

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the reward program in improving employee loyalty and work discipline at Bank Mandiri. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using the literature study method, through the collection and analysis of secondary data obtained from official Bank Mandiri reports, academic journals, labor regulations, and media articles related to human resource management policies. The findings reveal that the implementation of both financial rewards (competitive salaries, performance-based bonuses, and welfare benefits) and non-financial rewards (recognition, promotions, and career development programs) has a positive impact on enhancing employee loyalty and work discipline. A fair, transparent, and sustainable reward system fosters a sense of belonging, strengthens affective commitment, and cultivates a productive and professional work culture. Moreover, the data indicate a decline in disciplinary violations over the past three years, demonstrating the effectiveness of the reward system as a form of positive reinforcement. This study highlights the importance of reward policies as a strategic instrument in human resource management and recommends that companies continuously adapt their reward systems to align with employee needs and the evolving work environment.
