Stunting is a major indicator of chronic nutritional problems that affect children’s growth and development. In Indonesia, stunting prevalence remains high and is a national public health concern. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between socio-demographic factors and stunting incidence among toddlers in the working area of the Tanoh Alas Health Center, Southeast Aceh Regency, in 2025. This study used an analytical quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 93 mothers with children under five selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and observation sheets from June 19 to July 3, 2025. Statistical analyses included Chi-Square and multiple logistic regression tests. The results showed that 33.3% of children were stunted, 34.4% had poor access to health services, and 68.8% lived in unhealthy housing conditions. Bivariate analysis indicated significant relationships between maternal age (p = 0.007), maternal education (p = 0.012), maternal occupation (p = 0.002), access to health services (p = 0.001), family income (p = 0.032), and healthy housing conditions (p = 0.007) with stunting incidence. Multivariate analysis revealed that access to health services was the strongest factor associated with stunting (p = 0.010; OR = 4.294; 95% CI: 1.411–13.06). Children with limited access to health services were 4.3 times more likely to experience stunting. The study recommends improving the accessibility and quality of maternal and child health services and strengthening multisectoral interventions and health education programs to prevent stunting.

The postpartum period is a vulnerable phase often accompanied by lactation problems, particularly ineffective breastfeeding and discomfort due to breast engorgement. These conditions may reduce maternal comfort, inhibit the let-down reflex, and increase the risk of failure in exclusive breastfeeding. Therefore, safe, practical, and comprehensive non-pharmacological nursing interventions are needed. This Final Nursing Project aims to describe the implementation of cabbage leaf compresses combined with breastfeeding education to improve maternal comfort and enhance breast milk flow in postpartum mothers. This study employed a case study method using a nursing care approach involving two postpartum mothers who experienced ineffective breastfeeding and discomfort due to breast engorgement. The interventions were provided for three days and included cabbage leaf compresses and education on breastfeeding techniques. Evaluation focused on breastfeeding ability, pain level, breast condition, maternal comfort, and milk production. The results showed improvement in breastfeeding ability, indicated by the mothers’ ability to correctly demonstrate proper positioning and latch-on techniques. Infants appeared calmer during feeding, and the duration of breastfeeding increased to approximately 10 minutes per breast. Pain scores decreased from 5 to 0–3, breast tension was reduced, and maternal comfort improved. It can be concluded that the application of cabbage leaf compresses combined with breastfeeding education is effective in improving breast milk flow and maternal comfort in postpartum mothers and can be recommended as an independent nursing intervention in maternity practice.

The management of medicines and Medical Consumables (MCs) plays a crucial role in improving the quality of pharmaceutical services in hospitals. Common problems include stock imbalances, such as shortages and overstocking, which negatively affect service efficiency, increase operational costs, and raise the risk of product expiration. These issues are often caused by inadequate planning that is not based on consumption data, as well as limited knowledge of pharmacy personnel in applying appropriate inventory control methods.This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of pharmacy staff in managing inventory using fast moving and slow moving methods based on real hospital data. The implementation method consisted of education, training, and hands-on mentoring conducted in several stages. The activity began with the analysis of medicine and medical consumables usage data from January to December 2025 at Labuang Baji Regional General Hospital, followed by training on pharmaceutical logistics management, and continued with practical exercises on classification and inventory control. Evaluation was carried out through discussions, case studies, and observation of participants’ ability to apply the methods.The results showed that 50.7% of medicines and 52.4% of medical consumables were categorized as fast moving, while the remaining items were classified as slow moving. After the intervention, there was a significant improvement in participants’ understanding of inventory classification, stock turnover analysis, and data-based planning. Participants were also able to identify items at risk of stock-outs and overstocking, enabling more appropriate control measures.This activity had a positive impact on the efficiency of pharmaceutical inventory management, reduced the risk of stock-outs and overstocking, and supported the improvement of healthcare service quality. Therefore, the fast moving and slow moving methods can be considered effective and applicable approaches for data-driven pharmaceutical inventory management in hospital settings

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a high-tech medical diagnostic equipment that plays an important role in healthcare, but in its operation it faces problems in the form of very large maintenance costs. This is due to the complexity of MRI technology, where the main unit of MRI is an imported product, while supporting equipment such as UPS, chiller, and AHU system are domestic products, thus impacting the increase in maintenance costs in hospitals and potentially reducing the quality of service. The solution to reduce maintenance costs, because maintenance cost efficiency can increase hospital profits. This study discusses the determination of maintenance priorities on MRI using a multi-criteria-based decision-making model by considering: the age of the MRI, the number of error logs, the condition of supporting equipment, and the expertise of the operator in operating the MRI. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is used with the stages of forming a decision hierarchy, pairwise comparisons, matrix normalization, priority weight calculation, and consistency testing. Data were obtained through questionnaires given to competent respondents, with the object of research at the Orthopedic Hospital, Surakarta, Indonesia. The results of the study indicate that the AHP method can be used to determine MRI maintenance priorities effectively. This is evidenced by the best alternative results, namely the Medium type (0.3372), followed by All Risk (0.3315), and Labor Only (0.3311). The Medium type is the most optimal choice. The AHP method has been proven to provide objective, structured, and accountable recommendations for hospital management in determining maintenance contracts that are appropriate to the technical condition of the equipment and budget constraints.

This community service activity focused on waste management and composting in elementary schools. Daily activities in schools generate organic and inorganic waste, which, if not managed properly, can cause environmental pollution and increase the risk of health problems.

Background: Ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability, especially in the elderly population. The impact of stroke is not only limited to physical activity, but also greatly affects the psychosocial condition of the sufferer. From a psychological aspect, stroke sufferers often experience various complex emotional disorders. Research tends to be deep sadness, anger, disappointment, and feelings of helplessness. One of the significant psychosocial problems experienced by stroke survivors is a decrease in low self-esteem. Methods: The approach used in this study is a qualitative approach. The data source in this study came from informants. This research was conducted at Royal Prima Hospital, Jambi City. Results: Based on the results of the research that has been conducted, it was found that stroke patients experience various psychological changes due to physical limitations that arise after having a stroke. Family support is the most influential factor in the psychological condition of stroke patients.  Families who always accompany patients are able to help patients accept sick conditions and increase patient morale during the rehabilitation process. However, the results of the study show that psychological support from nurses is still not fully optimal. Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, stroke patients experience psychological changes such as feeling embarrassed, insecure, feeling a burden on the family, withdrawing from the social environment, and losing their zest for life due to physical limitations. This condition shows that the stroke has an impact not only on the physical, but also on the psychological of the patient. Family support in the form of attention, motivation, affection, mentoring, and medical assistance is very helpful in increasing the patient's enthusiasm and confidence during rehabilitation. Nurses also play a role in the recovery process through health education, motivation, and treatment assistance. However, emotional support and therapeutic communication from nurses are still not optimal because services are more focused on medical measures.

This study aims to explore the implementation of communication within routine counselling programmes as an intervention strategy to address student mental health issues at SMP Tri Guna Bhakti Surabaya. The investigation focuses on three primary problems: broken home backgrounds, lack of parental attention, and economic limitations. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach, collecting data through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentary studies involving school counsellors, teachers, students, and parents. Grounded in Interpersonal Communication Theory and Therapeutic Communication Theory, the analysis reveals that routine counselling programmes serve as a vital communication platform enabling empathetic, open dialogue between counsellors and students experiencing psychological distress. Key findings indicate that effective counselling communication requires consistent trust-building, active listening, and culturally sensitive message delivery tailored to each student’s unique circumstances. However, the study identifies significant systemic barriers, including student reluctance to disclose personal problems due to social stigma, limited counsellor availability, and insufficient parental engagement in follow-up communication. Despite these critical challenges, the implementation of the programme demonstrates substantial positive outcomes, including reduced student anxiety, improved academic motivation, and fostered psychological resilience. The study concludes that integrating structured interpersonal and therapeutic communication strategies within school counselling frameworks is essential for creating supportive, inclusive educational environments. These strategies are crucial to effectively address the multifaceted, urgent mental health needs of adolescents from vulnerable socioeconomic backgrounds, providing a scalable model for similar urban educational institutions.

This research is motivated by the complex problems of street children, vagrants, and beggars in Jambi City, which are influenced by poverty, urbanization, and weak social protection. This phenomenon not only impacts public order but also reflects the suboptimal social welfare system at the regional level. Although local governments have implemented various policies through social order and rehabilitation approaches, their effectiveness still faces various structural and cultural challenges. This study uses Bryson's Policy Implementation Mapping theoretical framework, which includes indicators of interests, resources, channels, potential participation, level of influence, implications, and actions as the main analysis. The research approach used is a qualitative case study design to understand the dynamics of policy implementation in depth. Data collection techniques were carried out through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, with informants selected using purposive sampling until data saturation was achieved. The results show that policy implementation mapping has been carried out through collaboration between the Social Service and the Public Order Agency (Satpol PP) with a structured preventive, repressive, and rehabilitative approach. However, implementation has not been optimal due to limited rehabilitation facilities, lack of coordination between agencies, low community participation, and high mobility of beggars from outside the region. Furthermore, there is a gap between high administrative achievements and the reality on the ground, which still shows a high rate of returning to the streets. This study concludes that mapping policy implementation requires a more holistic, sustainable approach based on economic empowerment and strengthened cross-sectoral coordination to address this social issue more effectively and effectively.

The postpartum period is a critical phase in which mothers experience physiological and psychological recovery. Bengkung, a traditional abdominal binding cloth, is commonly used by Indonesian postpartum mothers, but inappropriate application may cause discomfort and may not support recovery optimally. This community service program aimed to improve postpartum mothers' knowledge and skills regarding safe and appropriate bengkung use. The activity was conducted through counseling, demonstration, guided practice, and evaluation using a one-group pre-test and post-test approach involving 30 postpartum mothers at a community-based maternal health service setting. The educational content covered postpartum physiological changes, indications and contraindications, safe binding principles, hygiene, duration of use, warning signs, and when to seek professional care. The evaluation showed an increase in good knowledge from 26.7% before education to 86.7% after education, and correct practice skills increased from 20.0% to 83.3%. Participants also reported better understanding of avoiding overly tight binding, maintaining breathing comfort, and discontinuing use when pain, shortness of breath, excessive bleeding, or wound problems occur. This activity indicates that structured education and demonstration can strengthen postpartum self-care and support safer integration of traditional practices into maternal health services.

Industrial hygiene management plays a critical role in protecting worker health by controlling exposure to hazardous factors in the workplace. However, many work environments still show suboptimal implementation, leading to increased risks of occupational diseases. This study aims to analyze the implementation of industrial hygiene management systems in improving worker health based on a literature review approach. The method used is a literature review by collecting and analyzing scientific articles from national databases published between 2021 and 2026. A total of ten relevant articles were selected through a systematic screening process based on predefined inclusion criteria. The findings indicate that workplace hazards such as physical, chemical, and ergonomic factors are significantly associated with various health problems, including respiratory disorders, musculoskeletal issues, and work-related fatigue. The implementation of industrial hygiene management systems, including hazard identification, risk control measures, use of personal protective equipment, and environmental monitoring, has been shown to reduce health risks among workers. However, the effectiveness of implementation is influenced by factors such as worker compliance, management commitment, and availability of facilities. These results highlight the importance of a comprehensive and systematic approach to industrial hygiene in maintaining worker health and preventing occupational diseases. Therefore, strengthening the implementation of industrial hygiene management systems is essential to create a safe and healthy working environment and to support sustainable occupational health practices.

The development of social media in the digital era has significantly changed children’s social interaction patterns. Besides providing benefits such as easier access to information and opportunities for creativity, social media also brings negative impacts on children’s psychological, social, and moral development. This study aims to analyze the restriction of social media use among children from the perspective of Jürgen Habermas, especially regarding the concepts of the public sphere, communicative rationality, and the colonization of the lifeworld. This research uses a literature study method with a qualitative descriptive approach through the collection and analysis of relevant scientific articles. Data validity was strengthened through inclusion and exclusion criteria as well as source triangulation. The findings indicate that social media use among children has an ambivalent impact. Positive effects can emerge when there is strong parental supervision, while weak supervision increases the risk of exposure to harmful content, psychological problems, and reduced quality of social interaction. Restricting social media use through time regulation, content control, and digital education is considered important for protecting children’s development. From Habermas’s perspective, children are vulnerable in the digital public sphere because of their limited communicative rationality. Therefore, restrictions are viewed as efforts to protect children’s values and rationality from distortion by the digital media system.

Dependence on social media among students has become a phenomenon that negatively impacts their critical thinking abilities, including difficulties in analyzing information, evaluating sources, and drawing logical conclusions. This study aims to examine contextual learning strategies as an effort to overcome the decline in critical thinking skills caused by social media dependence. The method used is a library research approach by reviewing various scientific sources such as books, journals, and previous studies relevant to contextual learning and critical thinking. The results of the study indicate that contextual learning can improve students’ critical thinking skills by linking learning materials to real-life situations, using authentic problems, and encouraging active student involvement in the learning process. This strategy promotes students to become more reflective, analytical, and independent in responding to information, including content obtained from social media. In addition, contextual learning helps students develop the ability to filter information and build deeper understanding. The implication of this study suggests that the consistent implementation of contextual learning strategies can serve as an effective solution to enhance students’ critical thinking skills and reduce the negative effects of social media dependence in the learning process.  

Employee attendance is an important indicator to demonstrate the discipline and performance of village employees. The process of recording employee attendance previously at the Lumban Dolok Village Office was still done manually. This can cause problems such as incorrect data, slow report collection, and absenteeism. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop a web-based presence-monitoring information system that uses the Location-Based Service (LBS) method. The purpose of the LBS method is to ensure that the attendance process can be carried out only when employees are within a specified radius of the Lumban Dolok Village Office. This system uses latitude and longitude data from the user's device to calculate the geographic distance to the location's center point. The developed system uses the user's device's latitude and longitude to calculate the distance between the employee's location and the attendance center. Within a radius of 25 meters, the attendance process can only be carried out if the employee is within that radius; if they are outside the radius, then the attendance will be automatically rejected by the system. In this study, the waterfall system development method was employed, with PHP and UML. The results of the study show that this system can help the village office monitor employee attendance directly, speed up the collection of attendance reports, and reduce the risk of data manipulation. In addition, attendance reports are easily accessible by admins and village heads to assess employee performance. Thus, the web-based attendance information system using the LBS method is expected to improve compliance, transparency, and effectiveness of attendance management at the Lumban Dolok Village Office.
