Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality, particularly among older adults. Integrated Development Posts for Non-Communicable Diseases (Pos Pembinaan Terpadu Penyakit Tidak Menular / Posbindu PTM) play a crucial role in the early detection of NCD risk factors at the community level. This activity aimed to conduct NCD risk factor screening through the measurement of blood pressure, random blood glucose, total cholesterol, and uric acid levels, as well as to provide health consultations for participants of Posbindu Rosella, South Kembangan. The activity was conducted in November 2025 using a descriptive design. A total of 30 Posbindu participants were involved. Health examinations included blood pressure, random blood glucose, total cholesterol, and uric acid measurements. Data were analyzed descriptively and classified into normal and abnormal categories based on clinical guidelines. The majority of participants were female (80%), with a mean age of 60.5 ± 9.7 years. The mean systolic blood pressure was within the hypertensive range. Approximately 50% of participants had impaired glucose regulation, 60% experienced hyperuricemia, and 40% had total cholesterol levels classified as borderline or higher.  Health screening activities at Posbindu revealed a high prevalence of NCD risk factors among participants. Posbindu plays an essential role in early detection and community-based prevention of non-communicable diseases.

Latar Belakang: Penyakit Tidak Menular (PTM) merupakan salah satu masalah kesehatan utama di Indonesia yang berdampak besar terhadap kualitas hidup masyarakat, termasuk mereka yang tinggal di wilayah pedesaan. Upaya pencegahan dan peningkatan kesadaran dini melalui pemeriksaan kesehatan rutin menjadi strategi dalam menurunkan risiko PTM pada berbagai kelompok usia. Tujuan: Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk melakukan pemeriksaan kesehatan guna mendeteksi faktor risiko PTM melalui pengukuran kadar asam urat, kolesterol, glukosa darah, tekanan darah, serta pengukuran antropometrik (berat badan dan tinggi badan). Metode: Kegiatan dilaksanakan melalui kolaborasi antara kampus dan Posbindu di Desa Ngrawan, Jawa Tengah pada bulan Juli-September 2024. Pemeriksaan dilakukan terhadap tekanan darah, kadar glukosa, asam urat, kolesterol, berat, dan tinggi badan. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif untuk memetakan risiko PTM pada kelompok usia produktif dan lanjut usia. Hasil: Sebanyak 70 warga mengikuti pemeriksaan, terdiri atas 59% usia lanjut dan 41% usia produktif, dengan mayoritas perempuan (90%). Sebagian besar kadar asam urat dan glukosa normal, namun ditemukan kolesterol tinggi pada usia produktif (45%) dan lanjut usia (67%), serta hipertensi pada kedua kelompok (66% dan 59%). Kesimpulan: Kegiatan kolaboratif antara kampus dan Posbindu di Desa Ngrawan menunjukkan partisipasi masyarakat yang tinggi serta mengungkap potensi risiko hipertensi dan kolesterol tinggi. Sinergi ini menegaskan kebutuhan penguatan kader dan keberlanjutan Posbindu dalam deteksi dini dan pencegahan PTM di pedesaan.

Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death globally. The Posbindu PTM program serves as an initiative for early detection and prevention of NCDs through community empowerment. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the utilization of the Posbindu PTM program in the working area of Palibelo Health Center, Bima Regency. This quantitative research used a cross-sectional approach, involving 100 purposively selected respondents. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. The results showed that education level and knowledge significantly affected the utilization of Posbindu services (p < 0.05). Respondents with higher education and better knowledge were more likely to use Posbindu services actively. However, lack of information and inadequate socialization were identified as major barriers to optimal utilization. Strengthening public health education and promotion is essential to enhance community participation in the Posbindu PTM program.

Penyakit tidak menular (PTM), termasuk diabetes mellitus, menjadi masalah kesehatan utama yang membutuhkan deteksi dini. Pemeriksaan kadar gula darah merupakan metode screening yang efektif untuk mendeteksi risiko diabetes. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini dilakukan di Lapangan Pemuda Kutacane, Kabupaten Aceh Tenggara, pada Mei 2025. Sebanyak 102 orang yang aktif berolahraga diperiksa kadar gula darahnya menggunakan glucometer standar. Hasilnya menunjukkan 17 orang (16,7%) memiliki kadar gula darah > 200 mg/dL, mengindikasikan risiko diabetes, sementara 85 orang (83,3%) dalam batas normal. Edukasi tentang gaya hidup sehat juga diberikan. Temuan ini menggarisbawahi pentingnya screening dan edukasi berkelanjutan untuk mencegah PTM.

Occupational Health and Safety (K3) is an effort to provide safety guarantees and improve the health status of workers/laborers by preventing work-related accidents and diseases, controlling  workplace hazards,  health  promotion, treatment and  rehabilitation. Occupational Health and Safety efforts include workforce, work methods/methods, work tools, work processes and work environment. In the PTM room at the West Baktiya Health Center, the space is quite narrow due to the large number of patients visiting, so there is untidiness in the room even though the AC and windows are used. However, having 2 tables in the room makes the room increasingly narrow and difficult to work comfortably. This research aims to find out an overview of the implementation of Occupational Safety and Health in the PTM room. This research is a qualitative descriptive research with a case study design. The subjects of this research were 3 officers in the PTM room. The object of this research is the implementation of K3 and PTM rooms at the West Baktiya Community Health Center. Data was collected by participant observation and semi-structured interviews with informants. The risk factors for the PTM room at the West Baktiya Health Center, seen from occupational safety and health factors, are that it is quite clean, no animals were found that cause disease transmission such as cockroaches, rats and others. There are no occupational safety and health signs and standard operational procedures related to occupational safety and health, while fire prevention in the PTM room at the West Baktiya Public Health Center and the West Baktiya Community Health Center itself is quite good with APAR. There needs to be signs regarding occupational safety and health and SOPs regarding occupational safety and health, especially in the PTM room.

Smoking can cause socio-economic problems, health issues, and even death. The activity aims to improve the understanding and skills of UKS mentor teachers about the importance of smoke-free areas (KTR) and smoking cessation efforts in schools, as well as follow-up on the implementation of KTR in schools with the Public Health Center. The intervention was carried out through a one-day training with lecture and question-and-answer discussion methods. The target of this activity was UKS mentor teachers at the junior high school level and PTM officers from the Public Health Center as many as 32 participants. The results of the activity: 1. Increased knowledge and awareness of teachers about the negative impacts of smoking on health, as well as creating a smoke-free environment in schools. 2. Changes in attitudes and behavior with a commitment from teachers not to smoke and strengthening the smoke-free policy program. 3. Increased student involvement in peer support programs for anti-smoking campaigns in the school environment. 4. Establishing cooperation between schools, parents, communities, and health agencies to create an environment that supports a healthy lifestyle. 5. The existence of a monitoring and evaluation system for student development in avoiding smoking and the impact of the UBM program in the school environment. 6. Improved health and quality of life by reducing the number of students and teachers who smoke, thereby creating a healthier and more conducive school environment for learning. These impacts are expected to contribute to efforts to improve health and well-being in the school environment and build a healthy living culture among students and staff.

Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) are a group of diseases that are not transmitted through infection or direct contact with other individuals, but are caused by a combination of genetic, environmental and behavioral factors. NCDs are one of the main causes of death globally, with prevalence rates continuing to increase, especially in developing countries. The main risk factors for NCDs include unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, tobacco consumption and excessive alcohol use. Prevention and control of NCDs requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving public education, health system strengthening, public policies that support health, as well as early detection and risk management. Effective treatment of NCDs is very important to improve people's quality of life and reduce the economic burden caused by this disease. Prevention of PTM can be done through PTM screening. The government has provided this skinning method through the JKN mobile application. The method used in this activity is direct socialization and discussion directly with participants using power point media. The results showed that participants were very enthusiastic about following the education provided and enthusiastic about knowing how to carry out screening using the JKN application.

Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) Screening is an early effort to identify NCD risk factors in individuals or groups through the Integrated Development Post (Posbindu) NCD. NCDs consist of Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, Cervical and Breast Cancer, and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. NCDs are increasing and are the main cause of death of the population. In 2030, it is targeted that at least the number of premature deaths due to NCDs can be prevented through the SDGs program by 25%. The Faculty of Health Sciences (Fikes) of Musi Charitas Catholic University (UKMC) is part of the Sukarami Health Center Working Area which has 396 students in the 2024/2025 academic year. Fikes finds out whether or not there are NCD risk data factors in students. Lecturers and Officers of the Sukarami Health Center are actively conducting NCD screening using the Posbindu activity method, namely 5 Tables (Registration, Interview, Measurement, Examination and Counseling/Education). The target of all UKMC Fikes students who are studying on campus is 287 (72.47%). The activities carried out were measuring Body Weight (BB), Height (BB), determining Body Mass Index (BMI). Implementation of procedures in accordance with the guidelines set by the Indonesian National Nurses Association (PPNI). Results: The target achievement was 245 (85.37%) of the original target of 287. Analysis results 1) Students who have a BMI > 25 are 72 (29.39%) students; have a waist circumference > 80 (women) and > 90 (men) are 62 (25%) students. Blood pressure > 130/90 mmHg is owned by 6 (2.45%) students, while random blood sugar > 180 mg/dl is owned by 1 (0.41%) student. Suggestions or Follow-up Action Plans: All students are screened periodically and PTM control is carried out.
