Non-pharmacological approaches such as abdominal stretching offer a safe, simple, and cost-effective alternative for reducing menstrual pain. This community service activity was conducted at SMPN 8 Lubuklinggau from April 11 to 17, 2022, aiming to enhance students’ knowledge and skills in managing dysmenorrhea through abdominal stretching exercises. The program included education, demonstration, independent practice, and pre- and post-test evaluations. The results showed that most participants experienced a reduction in menstrual pain intensity and improved understanding of dysmenorrhea management. The intervention proved to be effective and feasible to be integrated into regular school health programs. Additionally, the activity empowered adolescents to take a more active role in maintaining their reproductive health. Further research is recommended to evaluate the effectiveness of abdominal stretching on a broader scale.

Using smartphones in interpersonal communication among adolescents is now commonplace. Many teenagers who follow the flow of communication media in technology choose smartphones as a more effective interpersonal communication medium. Compared to other forms of communication, interpersonal communication occurs personally, in face-to-face situations, and through media. Interpersonal communication is fundamental since it permits it to require place dialogic communication. Exchange may be a shape of interpersonal communication that appears in the event of interaction. Those included in this communication frame are double-functioning, each being the speaker and the audience, on the other hand. This report analyzes adolescents’ interpersonal communication culture in the smartphone-use era based on this statement. The method used is the phenomenological method. The conclusion of this study indicates that the current adolescent interpersonal communication culture is more influenced by digital technology than direct interaction. Therefore, efforts are needed to foster awareness of the importance of maintaining a healthy quality of interpersonal communication amid technological advances.

Method: This study used an analytical study design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 100 mothers selected through purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that measured the level of knowledge, attitude, and DHF prevention actions. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between the level of knowledge and DHF prevention actions (p = 0.002), as well as between attitude and DHF prevention actions (p = 0.001). Conclusion: The level of knowledge and attitude of mothers is closely related to DHF prevention actions. Efforts are needed to improve education and health promotion for housewives to reduce the incidence of DHF in Rada Mata Village.    

Liver disease is a health problem that often goes undetected in its early stages due to the absence of specific symptoms, despite the liver's vital role in metabolism, detoxification, and maintaining homeostasis. Early detection is crucial to prevent the progression of liver dysfunction. This community service activity aimed to raise public awareness of the importance of early liver disease screening through the examination of lipid ratios (total cholesterol/HDL and triglycerides/HDL) and physical evaluation for clinical signs of liver dysfunction. The program was conducted at the Cengkareng Baptist Foundation and involved 59 adult participants. The screening included basic laboratory tests and direct physical examinations, followed by health education tailored to each participant based on their screening results. Findings revealed that 83.1% of participants had elevated triglyceride/HDL ratios and 28.8% had total cholesterol/HDL ratios above the normal range, although 100% showed no physical signs suggestive of liver disease. These results indicate the presence of underlying metabolic risks that may affect liver function. This program had a positive impact by enhancing public understanding of the importance of a healthy lifestyle and regular check-ups as part of health promotion and disease prevention efforts related to liver health. Keywords: Early Detection, Liver Function, Lipid Ratio, Health Education, Community Service

Diarrhea is still the leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality in Indonesia, especially in areas with limited access to clean water and adequate sanitation. This community service activity is carried out with the aim of increasing maternal knowledge about the signs and symptoms of diarrhea in children, increasing maternal awareness in maintaining children's hygiene and health to prevent diarrhea, and providing practical training on early treatment of diarrhea. This activity involved 30 mothers who have early childhood in Bangun Rejo Village, Tanjung Morawa District. The methods used include interactive lectures, group discussions, demonstrations of making oralite solution (ORS), correct handwashing practices, and distribution of educational leaflets. Evaluation was carried out through pre-test and post-test to measure the increase in participants' knowledge before and after the activity. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in maternal understanding of the prevention and treatment of diarrhea. Participants were able to identify early symptoms of diarrhea, practice how to make ORS correctly, and show readiness to take the child to a health facility if signs of dehydration appear. This activity proves that community-based health education is effective in increasing maternal knowledge and preparedness in preventing and treating diarrhea in children. Strengthening similar educational programs is essential to be implemented sustainably, especially in areas with a high risk of diarrheal diseases. These efforts can make a real contribution to reducing the incidence of diarrhea and improving the health status of children in vulnerable communities.

In the current digital era, technological advances have brought considerable changes, which can be seen in the way individuals gather information, interact, and play an active role in social life. The concept of citizenship is no longer limited to the physical world, but has expanded to the digital. In the digital sphere, everyone has rights and obligations, including maintaining communication ethics, protecting personal privacy and others, and taking part in more positive activities. As in the Islamic view, in the digital world, people must always participate and be based on sharia principles, such as honesty, responsibility, and respect for the rights of others. This study aims to examine the role of digital citizenship in the perspective of Islamic law, which uses a qualitative approach and normative analysis. The results of this study also show that there are several aspects that are influential in the digital era such as the importance of protecting personal data as part of the main objective of sharia, maintaining communication ethics by prioritizing the principles of politeness and honesty, and preventing the spread of hoax information. Islam also strongly emphasizes the importance of hate speech and bullying among virtual communities. In addition, freedom of expression in the digital sphere must be accompanied by moral responsibility to anticipate conflicts.With this understanding, Muslims are expected to contribute to creating a digital space that is safer, healthier, harmonious, and in accordance with sharia teachings

Liver disease is an increasingly prevalent health problem among the productive-age population, primarily driven by unhealthy lifestyles, alcohol consumption, obesity, and the risk of hepatitis infection. Liver dysfunction often presents no specific symptoms in its early stages, making early detection challenging. The Community Service Program (PKM) conducted in Grogol Village aimed to raise public awareness about the importance of early liver function screening through SGOT and SGPT enzyme assessments. This activity included education on risk factors as well as on-site liver enzyme testing for participants. Among the 71 participants, 18 individuals (25.35%) had elevated SGOT levels, and 17 individuals (23.94%) showed SGPT levels exceeding normal limits. These findings highlight the importance of early liver function screening in preventing the progression to chronic liver diseases such as NAFLD or hepatitis, and in serving as an indicator of cardiometabolic risk. Therefore, routine liver enzyme testing can serve as a foundation for increasing public awareness about the importance of maintaining liver and metabolic health in a sustainable manner.

College students are in early adulthood, a critical developmental stage marked by physical, psychosocial, and cognitive changes that can significantly impact dietary behaviors, including fruit and vegetable consumption. Adequate intake of fruits and vegetables is essential for maintaining overall health and reducing the risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). However, evidence indicates that fruit and vegetable intake among college students often falls below the levels recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). This study aimed to validate a Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) for assessing total fruit and vegetable intake among college students in Surabaya City, Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 30 active university students. The SQ-FFQ method produced higher intake estimates compared to the Estimated Food Record. A statistically significant and strong correlation was found between the two methods (p < 0.001, r > 0.7), indicating strong agreement. These findings support the SQ-FFQ as a valid tool for measuring total fruit and vegetable intake in this population.

Students tend to face demands in their coursework so that changes arise in various individual functional aspects such as physical, psychological and social. This change requires students to be able to adapt, this condition requires students to have high emotional intelligence because it is directly related to everyday life, especially to managing negative emotions. If you have good emotional intelligence, you can have an impact on creating enjoyment in learning, getting rid of things that can disturb and hinder the learning process. One way to increase emotional intelligence is by performing the tahajjud prayer. The lesson of the Tahajjud prayer is maintaining individual psychological health, such as the heart's potential for emotions, the mind for thinking. The aim of this research is to see whether there is a relationship between the Tahajjud prayer and emotional intelligence in students. This research used a quantitative approach with a questionnaire method with 100 students as subjects. The results of this research are that there is a positive relationship between midnight prayer and emotional intelligence. It is hoped that future researchers will use a qualitative approach to find out how the tahajjud prayer benefits a person's emotional intelligence.

This study aims to analyze the impact of solvency, profitability, and liquidity on financial distress, with good corporate governance as a moderating variable. The research employs a quantitative approach with moderation regression analysis. The results indicate that solvency, profitability, and liquidity have a significant negative effect on financial distress, meaning that the better a company's financial condition in these aspects, the lower the potential for financial difficulties. Additionally, good corporate governance is proven to moderate the effect of solvency, profitability, and liquidity on financial distress, indicating that the application of good governance strengthens the negative relationship between these financial indicators and financial distress. These findings highlight the importance of corporate management in maintaining financial health and applying good corporate governance principles to minimize the risk of financial distress.

Infant and toddler mortality is a global issue and one of the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Mothers and children are family members who should be prioritized in healthcare services. The national coverage of healthcare services for infants, toddlers, and preschool children remains low at 69.9%. Posyandu (Integrated Health Post) is a community-based maternal and child healthcare service (UKBM) organized by and for the community to reduce maternal and child mortality rates. The coverage of mothers with toddlers visiting Posyandu Melati in Kuta Alam District, Banda Aceh City, is only 31.38%, far below the national strategic plan target of 70%. Objective: To determine the relationship between knowledge, attitude, and family support with maternal visits to Posyandu Melati in Kuta Alam District, Banda Aceh City. Research Method: This study used an analytical research design with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique employed probability sampling using systematic sampling, with a total of 58 mothers with toddlers. The research instruments included a questionnaire and the Maternal and Child Health (KIA) book. The study was conducted from July 11 to July 13, 2023, at Posyandu Melati, Kuta Alam District, Banda Aceh City. Data processing involved editing, coding, data entry, tabulating, and univariate and bivariate analysis. Research Results: Univariate analysis showed that the majority of respondents had good knowledge (23 respondents, 39.7%), received supportive family support (35 respondents, 60.3%), and had irregular Posyandu visits (30 respondents, 51.7%). Bivariate analysis revealed significant relationship between knowledge (p-value = 0.030), attitude (p-value = 0.015), and family support (p-value = 0.013) with maternal visits to Posyandu. Conclusion and Recommendations: There is a significant relationship between knowledge, attitude, and family/husband support with maternal visits to Posyandu Melati in Kuta Alam District, Banda Aceh City. Healthcare workers should continue providing education and counseling on the benefits of Posyandu in maintaining maternal and child health.

The Drinking Water Supply System (SPAM) is essential infrastructure for ensuring access to clean water. SPAM Tembudan, located in Batu Putih District, Berau Regency, plays a key role in supplying raw water for both domestic and non-domestic uses. This study analyzes the sustainability of SPAM Tembudan by evaluating raw water quality, availability, and system efficiency. Primary data were collected through field surveys, water sampling, and interviews with operators and residents. Water quality was assessed based on physical, chemical, and biological parameters, following Ministry of Health Regulation No. 492/Menkes/Per/IV/2010. Availability was evaluated through flow rate measurements and community water demand, while system efficiency was assessed by examining treatment efficiency and water loss (Non-Revenue Water/NRW). Findings reveal that most water quality parameters meet national standards, though some show signs of potential contamination. In terms of availability, raw water is currently sufficient to meet demand, but seasonal changes particularly during the dry season threaten long-term sustainability. The analysis also identifies inefficiencies in the distribution network, with notable water losses that need addressing. To ensure the long-term sustainability of SPAM Tembudan, the study recommends enhancing the treatment process, improving raw water resource management, and reducing distribution losses. Encouraging community involvement and strengthening the capacity of local operators are also critical for maintaining the system’s performance. These strategies aim to secure reliable, high-quality drinking water for the community while supporting sustainable resource use.

Hypertension or high blood pressure is defined as a continuous increase in blood pressure that exceeds normal limits (Nuraini et al., 2023). Hypertension occurs due to several factors, the first being modifiable and non-modifiable factors. Among the modifiable risk factors for hypertension are smoking and obesity. People who smoke more than one pack of cigarettes per day will be twice as vulnerable as people who do not smoke (Luh et al., 2020). The purpose of this study was to determine the correlational between smoking and BMI with the incidence of hypertension in adult men in Alassumur Lor Besuk Probolinggo. The research design used an Correlational Analytic with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study was 35 with a total sampling technique. The research instrument used a questionnaire, then the data obtained will be tested by Spearman rank. The results of the study obtained the smoking variable ρ = 0.018, the BMI variable ρ = 0.071. This shows that there is a corelation between smoking behavior and BMI with the incidence of hypertension. Smoking behavior that is increasingly uncontrolled will cause hypertension and accumulation of fat on the walls of blood vessels can cause narrowing and hardening, increasing blood flow resistance and ultimately increasing blood pressure. It is hoped that respondents will reduce their smoking habits and start a healthy life by maintaining a diet, exercising regularly and eating nutritious foods.

Bali Province has a high population density, which has the potential to affect the distribution of infectious diseases such as diarrhea. However, mapping the distribution of diarrhea cases based on population density is still limited and does not meet good cartographic principles. Therefore, this study aims to present data on the distribution of diarrhea cases based on population density in Bali Province during the 2020-2022 period. This study used an analytic observational method with a cross-sectional design. The data used were secondary data from the Bali Province Health Profile and the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) for 2020-2022. Data analysis was carried out using geographic mapping with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and statistical tests in the form of multiple linear regression and Spearman correlation. The results showed an increase in the strength of the relationship between population density and the number of diarrhea cases, as indicated by the rho value which increased from 0.1833 in 2020 to 0.6000 in 2022. However, this relationship was not statistically significant (p-value > 0.05), indicating that population density is not the only factor contributing to the increase in diarrhea cases. Other factors such as sanitation, access to clean water, and public awareness in maintaining hygiene also play a role in the spread of this disease. Although there is a trend that an increase in population density in Bali goes hand in hand with an increase in diarrhea cases, this relationship is not statistically strong enough. Therefore, a multidisciplinary approach is needed to address diarrhea cases, including improved sanitation facilities, public health education, as well as strengthening the spatial data-based disease monitoring system.

This study aims to analyze the legal protection for investors in the capital market through the harmonization of existing regulations. In the context of Indonesia's capital market, legal protection is a crucial aspect for maintaining investor confidence and creating a healthy investment climate. Although various regulations, such as Law No. 8 of 1995 on Capital Markets, have been established, the implementation of legal protection still faces several challenges, including a lack of alignment between existing regulations. This research employs a normative approach with legal analysis and literature review as data collection methods. The findings indicate that regulatory harmonization is essential to enhance the effectiveness of legal protection for investors, both preventively and repressively. With harmonization in place, it is expected that regulations can operate more effectively and provide better protection for investors in the capital market.    

A healthy latrine is one of the essential sanitation facilities aimed at maintaining environmental health and improving public health in general. This research was conducted because the use of healthy latrines in Webetun Village remains low, where defecating in the forest has become a common practice among the community. This habit triggers the emergence of diseases such as diarrhea, malnutrition, undernutrition, dengue fever, and respiratory infections. This study aims to examine the behavior of latrine use in households in Webetun Village, Rinhat Subdistrict, Malaka Regency. This research uses a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The study involved 66 housewives who owned healthy latrines, selected through simple random sampling. Data analysis was conducted using the chi-square test. The results showed that variables such as latrine ownership (p=0.000) and water availability (p=0.000) were significantly associated with latrine use, while knowledge (p=0.681), attitude (p=0.588), actions (p=0.007), community leader support (p=0.081), and health worker support (p=0.069) were not significantly associated with latrine use. The findings revealed that water availability significantly influences latrine use. The availability of water facilitates family members in utilizing latrine facilities for activities such as flushing and maintaining cleanliness. Water availability also contributes to user comfort in maintaining latrine hygiene. Conversely, water scarcity hinders optimal latrine use by family members, potentially reducing utilization levels. The study findings also identified a correlation between latrine ownership and its use. Families are considered critical factors in shaping individual health behavior. The relationship between proper latrine ownership and usage behavior can be seen through the role of education in increasing awareness levels for adopting a healthy and clean lifestyle. 

This study aims to examine how behavior modification in orphanage adolescents through the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) method can enhance awareness of hygiene and health, particularly at Al-Munasaroh Orphanage. The research adopts an action research or intervention-based approach using qualitative methods. It emphasizes the analysis of behavioral changes through direct field observations and in-depth interviews, focusing on the quality and impact of behavioral modification among adolescents. The intervention was designed to address the lack of awareness regarding personal hygiene, environmental cleanliness, and health routines commonly found in institutionalized adolescents. The study investigates the various factors that influence the success of behavior modification, including internal motivation, emotional regulation, and external support from caregivers, peers, and the living environment. The CBT-based modification process spanned 18 structured sessions, which included psychoeducation, cognitive restructuring, role-playing, habit formation, and reinforcement techniques. Additionally, environmental improvements and the availability of hygiene-related facilities were integrated to support the desired behavioral outcomes.  Findings reveal significant changes in daily hygiene practices among participants, such as increased frequency of handwashing, tidiness in personal belongings, regular bathing, and active participation in cleaning shared spaces. The support of peers and caregivers played a crucial role in maintaining consistency and motivation. The study concludes that CBT is an effective method for fostering awareness and instilling sustainable hygiene behaviors in adolescents living in orphanages. Based on these results, recommendations are proposed for integrating CBT-based hygiene programs into routine care at orphanages to promote long-term behavioral change and health awareness.

Sport is a physical activity that is needed by everyone in order to meet health and physical needs that are carried out systematically. Football is a sport that has the highest number of enthusiasts in the world from various circles. Achievements can be achieved through internal factors including athletes, coaches, administrators and external factors, including parental support. This research was motivated because there has been no research on Persepam Achievement Development based on SWOT analysis. The research was conducted to present the results of the analysis related to Persepam Pamekasan achievement development in order to improve the quality of the club, maximize existing support and minimize deficiencies and sources of threats that can hinder the Persepam Pamekasan achievement development program. This research is a qualitative descriptive study with a research target of 3 informants, namely administrators, coaches, and athletes. Data was obtained through interviews and documentation. This research produced several findings, including: (1) The most prominent strengths include: having quality coaches and potential athletes, and having effective and efficient governance. (2) The most influential weaknesses include minimal financial needs and inadequate facilities and infrastructure. (3) The most important opportunities include having many sources of support, such as athlete families, community enthusiasm and support from supporters, and developments that can be maximized. (4) The most feared threats include: not having a sponsor yet and the rapid development of other clubs. Alternative strategies that can be applied include: (1) immediately submitting a proposal to the company, (2) managing expenses and utilizing developments as best as possible, (3) optimizing available facilities, (4) increasing player potential, and (5) maintaining communication.

Toddlers are a vulnerable group prone to health problems and malnutrition due to their rapid growth and high nutritional needs. Nutritional status serves as an indicator of adequate dietary intake, commonly assessed through weight and height measurements. Malnutrition, particularly among children aged 2-5 years, often occurs as they transition to family diets while maintaining high physical activity levels. Appropriate complementary feeding starting at six months (MP-ASI) is essential to support optimal growth and development. The Complementary Feeding Program includes porridge for infants aged 6-11 months and biscuits for children aged 12-24 months, aiming to improve nutritional status, especially among low-income families. Supplementary feeding (PMT) is an intervention designed to enhance the nutritional status of malnourished children without replacing their main daily meals. This study aims to examine the effect of the supplementary feeding program on weight changes among malnourished infants aged 6-11 months at the Tiley Health Center. A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was used with total sampling of 20 mothers with malnourished infants. Data were collected using questionnaires and weight observation sheets and analyzed using a paired t-test. The results showed a significant effect (p < 0.05), indicating that the supplementary feeding program improves infants’ weight.
