This community service program aims to enhance teachers’ competencies in developing literacy-based instruction at State Senior High School 5 Purworejo through a participatory and sustainable training and mentoring approach. The program involved 30 teachers and was conducted in three stages: preparation and planning, implementation, and mentoring and evaluation. The results show a significant improvement in teachers’ understanding of literacy, with the average score increasing from 62.4 to 84.7. A total of 87% of teachers were able to design literacy-based lesson plans effectively, while 73% successfully implemented them in classroom practice. Positive impacts were also observed among students, who became more active in discussions and more confident in expressing their ideas. Qualitatively, the program revealed a shift in teachers’ perspectives, where literacy is no longer seen as an additional activity but as an integral part of meaningful learning that fosters critical and reflective thinking. Overall, this program not only improved teachers’ technical competencies but also strengthened their professional awareness in creating more meaningful learning experiences. The mentoring process played a key role in supporting this transformation by providing a reflective and supportive space for continuous learning and growth.

Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) is one of the types of stroke with the highest rates of mortality and morbidity. This condition is often accompanied by decreased levels of consciousness and hemodynamic instability, particularly in patients undergoing intensive care in the ICU. The application of murottal (Qur’anic recitation) therapy is expected to contribute to the stabilization of patients’ hemodynamic, physical, and physiological conditions. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of Qur’anic murottal therapy on the hemodynamic stability of ICU patients at RSUD Prof. Dr. Margono Soekarjo Purwokerto. This study used a case study design in the form of a nursing care report involving one patient diagnosed with ICH and a nursing problem of decreased intracranial adaptive capacity. The intervention consisted of listening to the recitation of Surah Ar-Rahman for 20 minutes once per shift over three consecutive days. The observed hemodynamic parameters included blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature, oxygen saturation, and the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). The results showed that after the administration of the murottal therapy of Surah Ar-Rahman, the patient experienced improvement and stabilization in hemodynamic parameters, including blood pressure, pulse rate, respiration, and oxygen saturation. Qur’anic murottal therapy of Surah Ar-Rahman has a positive effect on the hemodynamic stability of ICH patients in the ICU at RSUD Prof. Dr. Margono Soekarjo Purwokerto. This intervention has the potential to serve as a non-pharmacological approach to support holistic recovery and improvement in critically patients.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairments in social interaction, communication difficulties, and restricted and repetitive behaviors. In addition to these core symptoms, children with ASD often experience gastrointestinal disturbances that are thought to be related to the gut–brain axis. One non-pharmacological intervention that has been widely studied to reduce ASD symptoms is the gluten-free casein-free (GFCF) diet. However, evidence regarding its effectiveness in improving behavioral symptoms remains inconsistent. This study aims to review previous research on the impact of gluten and casein consumption on behavioral symptoms in children with ASD using a narrative literature review approach. Literature searches were conducted in PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar for articles published between 2014 and 2024 using the keywords Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), behavior, GFCF diet, gluten, and casein. The review results indicate that most studies report potential benefits of the GFCF diet in improving certain behavioral symptoms in children with ASD, particularly hyperactivity, behavioral problems, stereotypical behavior, attention, and cognitive function. Some studies also show improvements in autism evaluation scores after dietary implementation over a specific period. However, findings remain inconsistent due to differences in study design, sample size, intervention duration, dietary adherence, and the heterogeneity of ASD characteristics among children. In conclusion, the GFCF diet has potential as a complementary intervention to improve certain behavioral symptoms in children with ASD, but further high-quality studies with larger samples are needed to confirm its effectiveness more consistently.
