This community service program was designed to empower the women’s group PKK RT 01 RW 08 in Tembalang, Semarang, through education and innovation in processing used cooking oil into eco-friendly floor cleaner. Household cooking oil waste, commonly known as “jelantah,” is often discarded and contributes to environmental pollution, while in fact it can be reused as a valuable resource. The program aimed not only to provide technical skills but also to increase environmental awareness and promote sustainable household practices. The implementation took place over three months (June–August 2025) using a participatory approach that included socialization, training, mentoring, and evaluation. During the activities, participants were introduced to the principles of green chemistry, practiced step-by-step floor cleaner production, and learned packaging and digital marketing techniques. As a result, the group successfully produced 65 bottles of “Lely Eco Floor” cleaner (260% of the initial target), distributed them for household use, and established an environmental movement group named “Lely Bersih Lestari.” Pre- and post-test scores indicated significant improvement in participants’ knowledge and skills. The program brought multiple impacts: reducing oil waste pollution, enhancing social cohesion, and opening opportunities for micro-scale entrepreneurship. Overall, this activity demonstrates how simple technology and community engagement can support sustainable development and women’s empowerment at the grassroots level.

This study discusses the level of participation of elderly people in Mantang Baru Village in routine health checks. The main objective is to see how active they are in participating and what makes them interested or reluctant to attend health checks. This study uses a quantitative approach with the aim of measuring the level of participation of elderly people in health check activities in Mantang Baru Village. Data was collected using direct surveys of each elderly person's home, which contained questions related to the frequency of health check visits, motivation, and barriers to health checkups for the elderly. The population in this study was all elderly people aged 60 years and above who reside in Mantang Baru Village. The results showed that most elderly people were quite diligent in attending health checkups because they realized the importance of maintaining their physical condition. Factors such as family support, ease of access to health check locations, and their knowledge about health significantly influence their decision to participate. In conclusion, if health education and facilities can be further improved, elderly participation will certainly increase, thereby helping to maintain their health better. The role of health cadres is very significant in encouraging elderly participation through a personal approach and continuous education.

Cervical cancer remains one of the leading causes of death among women, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia. This disease is largely preventable through early detection efforts; however, low levels of knowledge and awareness among women of reproductive age often hinder them from undergoing routine screening. Limited information leads to most new cases being diagnosed at advanced stages, thereby lowering treatment success rates and increasing the public health burden. This study aimed to analyze the differences in knowledge among mothers at Yayasan Harapan Anak Indonesia, North Jakarta, regarding early detection of cervical cancer before and after receiving health education using leaflets. The study employed a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample consisted of 40 reproductive-age women selected using total sampling. A structured questionnaire was used as the research instrument, covering questions about the definition, risk factors, symptoms, and early detection methods of cervical cancer. The intervention was carried out through a lecture accompanied by leaflet distribution, which provided concise, clear, attractive, and easy-to-understand information. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests to evaluate differences in mean scores before and after the intervention. The results showed an increase in the mean knowledge score from 57.69 in the pretest to 88.08 in the posttest. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference (p<0.05) between pre- and post-intervention. The study concludes that health education using leaflets is effective in improving mothers’ knowledge about cervical cancer early detection. Health workers are recommended to expand educational coverage using simple printed media as a sustainable strategy for prevention, to enhance community awareness more broadly, and ultimately to reduce cervical cancer incidence.

Adolescents represent an age group highly susceptible to health issues, particularly sexually transmitted infections (STIs), due to limited knowledge and restricted access to accurate information. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of health education in improving adolescents’ knowledge about STIs at SMK Tamansiswa Boja Kendal. The study employed a quantitative pre-experimental method using a one-group pretest-posttest design. A total of 32 students were selected using accidental sampling. The intervention consisted of health education delivered through booklets and posters. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Findings revealed a substantial increase in knowledge after the intervention. Prior to the education, 96.9% of respondents demonstrated low knowledge, and only 3.1% had sufficient understanding; after the intervention, 100% of participants achieved a high level of knowledge. The Wilcoxon test yielded a significance value of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically meaningful difference before and after the intervention. These results confirm that health education is effective in enhancing adolescent understanding of STIs. Similar programs are recommended to be implemented regularly in educational settings as part of reproductive health promotion and disease prevention efforts..

Anemia is a medical condition characterized by a lower-than-normal number of red blood cells or hemoglobin levels in the blood. This results in a reduced ability of the blood to carry oxygen throughout the body. Consequently, individuals with anemia may experience various symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, and shortness of breath. The main causes of anemia are generally due to a lack of knowledge about this condition and deficiencies in nutrients such as iron.The purpose of this study is to determine the level of knowledge among ninth-grade female students regarding the prevention of anemia and their ability to prevent it. This study uses a descriptive research method, focusing on describing the level of knowledge of ninth-grade female students about the prevention of anemia.The study uses the Total Sampling method as the sampling technique, which means that all members of the population are included as respondents. Therefore, the number of respondents in this study is equal to the total population of female students, which are 54 individuals. Data collection is conducted using a closed-ended questionnaire consisting of 20 items covering indicators such as the definition of anemia, its etiology, signs and symptoms, treatment, and prevention.The results of the study show that knowledge regarding the definition of anemia is in the good category for 35 respondents (64.8%), knowledge about etiology is in the fair category for 35 respondents (64.8%), knowledge of signs and symptoms was in the fair category for 45 respondents (83.3%), knowledge about treatment is in the good category for 33 respondents (61.1%), and knowledge of prevention is in the fair category for 32 respondents (59.3%).It is hoped that by increasing the knowledge of ninth-grade female students about the prevention of anemia, schools and health workers can work together to carry out regular health education.

This study investigates the differences in customer satisfaction levels toward the services of Bank Syariah Indonesia by employing a nonparametric statistical approach. Customer satisfaction is a critical benchmark in Islamic banking, as it not only reflects the quality of services but also the extent to which sharia compliance is embedded in financial practices. Given that satisfaction data are generally ordinal and may not fulfill the assumptions of normal distribution, nonparametric methods such as the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests were selected as the primary analytical tools. This research adopts a qualitative library-based method by reviewing relevant literature, scientific articles, and previous empirical studies to construct a comprehensive understanding of customer satisfaction measurement within Islamic banking. The findings highlight that variations in satisfaction are influenced by multiple factors, including service speed, staff friendliness, accessibility of digital platforms, and clarity of sharia principles applied in daily operations. Results further suggest that demographic characteristics and service usage frequency significantly shape satisfaction differences across customer groups. Theoretically, this study enriches the body of knowledge on the application of nonparametric statistics in Islamic banking research, while practically, it provides actionable insights for Bank Syariah Indonesia in formulating adaptive service strategies. These contributions are expected to assist the bank in strengthening customer loyalty, enhancing competitiveness, and sustaining growth in the dynamic modern banking industry.

Community participation in the formation of Village Regulations (Perdes) is an important indicator in realizing transparent, democratic, and responsive village governance to the needs of residents. However, in Teluk Kapuas Village, the level of community participation in the process is still relatively low. This is evident from the minimal involvement of residents and village officials in understanding the mechanisms and urgency of Perdes preparation. Based on these conditions, Community Service (PKM) activities were carried out with the aim of increasing the knowledge, understanding, and awareness of the community and village officials regarding the importance of active involvement in Perdes formation. The problems raised in this activity include: (1) the level of knowledge and understanding of village officials regarding the procedures for Perdes formation; and (2) factors that hinder the community from participating optimally. The methods used were lectures and interactive discussions involving village officials and community representatives. The results of the activities showed that the understanding of village officials and the community was still limited, so that participation in Perdes formation was not optimal. Through this PKM activity, it is hoped that there will be an increase in the understanding, awareness, and involvement of the Teluk Kapuas Village community in the Perdes formulation process so that it can produce village regulations that are more participatory and meet the needs of residents.

The endocrine system is a ductless body control system that produces hormones to regulate various organs and physiological processes. Hormones act as important biological messengers in the human body. One of the most essential hormones is insulin, which plays a key role in blood sugar regulation. Insufficient insulin production or impaired insulin action can cause disruption of blood glucose control, leading to diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistently high blood glucose levels caused by impaired insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. The purpose of this paper is to apply nursing care to Mr. N, a patient with endocrine system disorders: diabetes mellitus, treated in the Dahlia Ward of Dr. Soeselo Regional Hospital, Tegal Regency. This descriptive case study method was used to explain the nursing process in a structured manner. The main complaint presented by the client was pain in the wound on the left foot. Four nursing diagnoses were identified during the assessment, namely unstable blood glucose levels, acute pain, impaired skin/tissue integrity, and knowledge deficit. Nursing interventions were developed and implemented based on the Standar Diagnosis Keperawatan Indonesia (SDKI), Standar Luaran Keperawatan Indonesia (SLKI), and Standar Intervensi Keperawatan Indonesia (SIKI). The case highlights the importance of comprehensive nursing care in diabetes management, with a focus on blood glucose stabilization, pain management, wound care, and patient education. The results of this study are expected to provide additional references for clinical practice and strengthen the role of nurses in preventing complications of diabetes mellitus.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a non-communicable disease that is currently a major public health problem in Indonesia. The prevalence of DM continues to increase from year to year, not only in urban areas but also increasingly found in rural areas. One factor contributing to the high number of DM cases is a lack of public awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle, as well as the continued presence of many undiagnosed cases, resulting in delayed treatment. Therefore, early detection efforts and health education that can reach the community at the community level are needed. This community service program was designed to conduct random blood sugar screenings while increasing the knowledge of residents of RW 15 Kalibaru regarding the prevention and control of DM. The activity was carried out on August 24, 2025, involving 21 participants, most of whom were from adults to the elderly. The activity method consisted of two main stages: checking blood sugar levels using a glucometer and a health education session on a healthy lifestyle, a balanced diet, and the importance of regular physical activity. The results of the activity showed that the indicators of success were well achieved. This was indicated by the orderly implementation of the examinations, a high level of participation from residents, and increased awareness of the dangers of DM among participants. From the examination results, most participants had normal blood sugar levels, but several people were found with blood sugar levels above the normal limit who required medical follow-up.

The results of the activity demonstrated increased public knowledge of environmental laws and a growing collective awareness to play an active role in maintaining environmental cleanliness and sustainability. Furthermore, this activity also fostered a shared commitment to supporting the sustainable implementation of PERDA. Thus, this PKM emphasizes that regional regulations (PERDA) can function as an effective educational and regulatory instrument to build public awareness and participation in environmental management.

The rapid development of digital technology has brought significant benefits to the field of education, particularly through the use of academic email as an official medium of communication. However, this also creates potential security risks, especially phishing attacks based on social engineering. The low level of digital security literacy among students makes academic email accounts vulnerable to cybercrime. This study aims to implement an awareness program on academic email security, focusing on improving students’ understanding of phishing threats at SMA Islam Terpadu Rantau Prapat. The method used was an interactive workshop approach, which included theoretical sessions, demonstrations of phishing cases, simulations on identifying fake emails, and group discussions. Evaluation was carried out through pre-tests and post-tests to measure the participants’ ability to detect phishing. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ knowledge and skills, with the percentage of participants able to identify phishing increasing from 20% before the program to 82% after the program. These findings demonstrate that practice-based education is effective in building students’ digital literacy. The limitation of this study lies in the relatively small sample size and short-term evaluation. Future research is expected to expand the number of participants and integrate interactive technologies to ensure more sustainable impacts.

Stress can be defined as a condition of tension that affects various aspects of a person’s life. Work-related stress may be caused by several factors, such as excessive workload, tight deadlines, conflicts with colleagues, or uncertainty in the workplace. One method that can be applied to manage stress is the Benson Relaxation Technique. The Benson Technique is a relaxation method that helps relieve bodily tension, with the expectation of improving sleep quality and preparing individuals to achieve a deeper connection with the Creator or spiritual being. This community service activity aimed to provide education regarding the Benson Relaxation Technique to reduce work-related stress among female workers at Soun Scorpio Factory in Karangsoka Village. The methods used in this activity included measuring stress levels using a work stress instrument, assessing knowledge levels through pre-test and post-test questionnaires, and conducting evaluations using observation sheets. The activity involved 25 female workers at Soun Scorpio Factory who received education on the Benson Technique, delivered in two sessions. The evaluation results showed that 84% of the participants were in the moderate stress category, and 16% were in the low-stress category. Knowledge evaluation results indicated that 16 participants (64%) had good knowledge, while 9 participants (36%) had sufficient knowledge. After the intervention, all respondents (100%) showed a reduction in stress levels to the low-stress category. Thus, the Benson Relaxation Technique can serve as an effective approach to reducing work-related stress among female workers and improving their mental well-being.

This study is expected to serve as a basis for the development of educational and training programs for nurses to improve their understanding of HIV/AIDS and minimize stigma toward PLHIV.

Hypertension is a chronic condition with a high prevalence among the elderly population and is often overlooked despite its potential to cause severe complications, including cardiovascular disease, stroke, and kidney damage. Effective management of hypertension requires not only pharmacological treatment but also patient adherence to prescribed therapies, which is closely linked to their knowledge and understanding of the disease. This study aims to analyze the relationship between knowledge levels and medication adherence among elderly hypertension patients at Sari Asih Hospital in Tangerang. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was employed, and a total of 80 respondents were selected using non-probability sampling techniques. Data were collected using structured questionnaires that assessed both knowledge about hypertension and adherence to medication regimens. Statistical analysis was conducted using Kendall’s tau correlation, which revealed a strong and significant relationship between knowledge and medication adherence (τ = 0.759, p = 0.000). These findings indicate that elderly patients with higher levels of knowledge about hypertension are more likely to adhere to their medication schedules consistently, thereby reducing the risk of complications. The results underscore the importance of continuous health education and counseling for elderly patients to strengthen their awareness and self-management skills. In conclusion, increasing knowledge through targeted health promotion programs can play a vital role in improving adherence to hypertension treatment and ultimately enhancing patient outcomes.

Hypertension is one of the most common non-communicable diseases, posing serious health risks such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. The increasing prevalence of hypertension is mainly due to limited public knowledge about the risks associated with the condition and the importance of consistent, long-term medication adherence to prevent complications. This study aims to examine the relationship between the level of knowledge about hypertension and medication adherence among hypertensive patients. A quantitative research method with a descriptive correlational design was employed. Purposive sampling was used to select respondents, and the data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that the majority of respondents were female (53%), aged between 46 and 64 years (74%), had an elementary school education level (42%), worked as housewives (51%), and had been diagnosed with hypertension for an average of 7 to 10 years (46%). Statistical analysis revealed a p-value of 0.000 (α < 0.05), indicating a significant relationship between the patients’ knowledge level and their adherence to antihypertensive medication. This finding emphasizes the need for continuous health education and counseling to enhance patients’ understanding of hypertension and its management. Effective communication and support strategies are essential in improving medication adherence, which is crucial for preventing hypertension-related complications and improving the quality of life for patients. These results provide valuable insights for healthcare providers to develop targeted interventions.
