This community service (PKM) aims to improve the English language competency of students of SMK Negeri 3 Palangka Raya specifically English For Specific Purpose (ESP). The increasingly global needs of the fashion and textile industry, both for export and import and interaction with foreign clients, require graduates to have English communication skills that are not only general, but also specific according to the terminology of design, production, and marketing of fashion products. The methods used are interactive training, and Role-Play simulations, and direct practical assistance with a focus on design presentations, negotiations with clients or suppliers, and technical terminology for sewing patterns in English. The results of the PKM show an average increase in specific vocabulary mastery of 25% as well as a significant increase in student self-confidence in using English for work scenarios, as well as a better understanding of professional terms in the field of Fashion Design. This activity is recommended to be continued as a regular school program to bridge the gap between the general English curriculum and the demands of actual work competencies in the fashion industry

The Emergency Severity Index (ESI) is a triage method that determines the escalation of treatment for patients based on the severity of their emergency condition. In order to improve the level of satisfaction of individuals receiving health services, it is necessary to provide quality services that are responsive to the expectations and needs of patients. This study aims to explore the relationship between the ESI (Emergency Severity Index) level and patient satisfaction in the Emergency Room of Pertamedika Ummi Rosnati Hospital. The research design applied is analytical with a cross-sectional method. From a total population of 500 patients in December, 51 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. The instruments used included the ESI (Emergency Severity Index) Questionnaire and CSQ-8 (Client Satisfaction Questionnaire), with univariate and bivariate data analysis using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that in the high ESI index category, most participants (37 people or 92.5%) expressed satisfaction with the services received, while 3 people (7.5%) were dissatisfied. In the moderate ESI group, 9 respondents (90.0%) reported satisfaction, while only 1 respondent (10.0%) reported dissatisfaction. Conversely, in the mild ESI level, there were no patients who were satisfied (0%), and one patient (20.0%) was dissatisfied. Through analysis using the Chi-Square statistical test, a ρ value of 0.009 (≤ 0.05) was obtained, indicating a significant relationship between ESI levels and patient satisfaction. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that there is a correlation between ESI classification and the level of satisfaction of service users in the Emergency Department. The researchers recommend that patients gain a better understanding of the ESI stages, and the Emergency Department is expected to provide education, such as putting up informative banners related to ESI (Emergency Severity Index) to increase patient understanding of the triage process in the Emergency Department.

Ethics play an important role in the Psychological Assessment process in the realm of Guidance and Counseling, especially in maintaining the rights and welfare of clients. This article highlights two main ethical aspects, namely protecting the confidentiality of assessment results and efforts to maintain objectivity in its implementation. This study uses a literature study approach with a descriptive-qualitative analysis method. Information was collected from various scientific references such as books, journals, and professional guidelines, then analyzed to formulate relevant ethical principles and strategies for implementing them in assessment practice. The findings show that maintaining confidentiality requires a clear understanding of client rights, information boundaries, and secure data management procedures. Meanwhile, obstacles to maintaining objectivity can be overcome through increased competence, utilization of reliable assessment tools, and supervision support. The results of this study are expected to be a reference for counselors in implementing assessments ethically and professionally.
