This community service program aims to strengthen the strategic role of Posyandu (Integrated Health Post) as a center for family health education through the innovation of its educational functions. Previously, Posyandu operations in the community tended to be limited to routine basic health services, such as weight monitoring and nutritional status recording, while the crucial aspect of health education remained suboptimal. This limitation has contributed to a lack of public understanding regarding healthy lifestyles and the prevention of chronic diseases or stunting. The methods implemented in this program included problem identification through observation, health socialization and education, specialized training for Posyandu cadres to enhance their communication capacity, and direct mentoring during activity implementation. The results demonstrated a significant increase in family knowledge regarding balanced nutrition and clean and healthy living behaviors (PHBS). Furthermore, Posyandu cadres became more active and skilled in delivering health information communicatively to the community. This program demonstrates that by strengthening its educational function, Posyandu can transform into an effective and sustainable family health learning center, significantly impacting the improvement of community health standards at the frontline level.

Character education has become a major topic in modern education due to technological advances, globalization, and lifestyle changes that influence the behavior and moral values ​​of the younger generation.

This study aims to examine the normative construction and practical implementation of criminal sanctions against narcotics abusers from the perspectives of Islamic criminal law and Indonesian positive law, as well as to formulate an integrative policy model that is more just, humane, and context-sensitive in Bungo Regency. Narcotics abuse constitutes a multidimensional problem involving legal, social, moral, and public health dimensions. Therefore, a comprehensive approach is required to integrate the normative values of Islamic criminal law with the national legal system. This research employs a normative-empirical approach using comparative legal analysis, examining statutory regulations, doctrines of Islamic criminal law, and law enforcement practices at the local level. The findings indicate that Islamic criminal law frames narcotics abuse within the protection of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, particularly the preservation of intellect (ḥifẓ al-‘aql) and life (ḥifẓ al-nafs), thereby emphasizing not only punitive but also educational and rehabilitative orientations through the instrument of ta‘zīr. Meanwhile, Indonesian positive law, particularly Law No. 35 of 2009 on Narcotics, provides legal space for rehabilitation; however, its implementation still encounters structural and cultural challenges. This study concludes that integrating Islamic criminal law principles with the national legal framework may produce a more responsive sentencing model that upholds substantive justice, human rights protection, and effective narcotics control. Policy reformulation grounded in religious values, restorative approaches, and social rehabilitation is recommended as a strategic direction for national criminal law reform.

Anemia in adolescents is a serious health issue that impacts students' concentration and productivity. This community service activity aims to conduct early detection of anemia through a comprehensive manual screening method at three high schools: SMA Sains Alumnika Palembang, SMA Candradimuka, and SMA Mandiri. The implementation method involved three main stages: identification of clinical signs and symptoms (5L), visual observation of the palpebral conjunctiva, and hemoglobin (Hb) level measurement using Point of Care Testing (POCT) devices. Held from April 1st to 8th, 2026, the activity involved the active participation of students and school authorities as an effort toward independent nutritional surveillance. The screening results showed a correlation between subjective symptoms, pale conjunctiva conditions, and Hb measurement results in the field. Changes in students' behavior regarding nutritional intake and the emergence of new awareness among school authorities about the importance of routine check-ups served as indicators of successful social transformation. In conclusion, integrated manual screening is highly effective as a preventive health measure for adolescents within educational environments.

Therefore, cross-sector education based on community participation can serve as an effective strategy in empowering rural communities and fostering sustainable development.

The issue of nutrition among school children remains a public health challenge in Indonesia. As an effort to improve the nutritional status of students, the government launched the Free Nutritious Meal program (MBG) in educational units. However, in its implementation, there are still students who do not take advantage of the program. This study aims to identify the reasons why students do not utilize the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) program based on the (ABC) theory of antecedent, behavior, consequence at SD Negeri 100 Kendari. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. The number of informants to be studied is 6 people selected through Purposive Sampling, consisting of students, the principal, teachers, SPPG officers, and parents. Data collection is conducted through in-depth interviews, recording, observation, and documentation. The data are analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Research results show that the antecedent of students' knowledge about the MBG program is at the level of knowing to understanding, the application of the provided menu has been in accordance with balanced nutrition principles, and the program policy is supported by various parties. Students' behavior shows rejection of the program influenced by negative experiences, perceptions of the halalness of food containers, and parental prohibitions. The consequence of students not participating does not directly have a negative impact on their learning conditions or physical health, because nutritional needs are still met from other sources. Therefore, students have no motivation to utilize the program. In conclusion, students who do not take advantage of the MBG program are influenced by perceptions, experiences, and parental restrictions. Therefore, it is necessary to improve education, strengthen communication, and enhance the quality of program implementation to increase the utilization of the MBG program.

One of the most important factors influencing how well students learn is their motivation to learn. Teachers must actively manage students' psychological well-being, as low motivation to learn can lead to less-than-ideal learning outcomes. In addition to imparting knowledge, teachers can also act as motivators and facilitators, fostering an emotionally and psychologically supportive learning environment. Therefore, particularly in madrasah environments that prioritize spiritual values, teachers' psychological management techniques are crucial for enhancing students' motivation to learn. The purpose of this study was to examine various psychological management techniques used by madrasah instructors to enhance students' willingness to learn. A qualitative research approach with a literature review approach was used as the methodology. Information was gathered from various sources, including books, academic journals, and related documents on learning motivation and educational psychology management. The findings revealed a number of useful tactics that educators can employ, such as developing strong emotional bonds with students, fostering a relaxed and supportive learning environment, expressing gratitude and positive reinforcement, recognizing each student's unique needs and characteristics, and incorporating spiritual values ​​into the educational process. As demonstrated by increased active engagement, learning interest, and learning outcomes, the implementation of these methods has been shown to enhance students' motivation to learn. Therefore, effective and meaningful learning is greatly influenced by the teacher's psychological management.

Medication adherence among the elderly is an important factor in achieving successful therapy, particularly during the month of Ramadan when changes occur in meal patterns and medication schedules. Elderly patients with chronic diseases often experience difficulties in adjusting their medication timing, which may lead to poor adherence. This study aimed to implement a smart pill boxwith educational labels to improve knowledge and medication adherence among elderly individuals during fasting. The study involved 40 elderly respondents in a social care institution. The intervention consisted of training on the use of the smart pill box, educational labeling, and evaluation through observation, interviews, and checklist forms. The results showed that most respondents took medication twice daily (42.5%) and adjusted their medication schedules to sahur and iftar (45%). Before the intervention, 57.5% of respondents had not received information about medication use during fasting. The implementation of the smart pill boxwith educational labels improved the elderly’s understanding of medication use and supported better medication adherence during Ramadan.
