The program was conducted in Tanjung Pule Village, North Indralaya District, to address the lack of public knowledge and limited health check practices related to non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and high uric acid levels.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Design/Methodology/Approach:</em></strong><em> The program was carried out through a combination of health education and free medical check-ups. The methods included community outreach, distribution of health leaflets, and health screenings measuring blood pressure, blood glucose, uric acid, and cholesterol levels using EasyTouch® GCU devices. The activities were conducted in collaboration with the local health post and village authorities.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Findings:</em></strong><em> The program engaged 30 participants and revealed that more than 50% had elevated levels of uric acid and cholesterol. The health education sessions were well-received, with participants demonstrating increased awareness of symptoms, causes, and prevention strategies. These findings indicate a significant need for continuous health monitoring and preventive interventions in the community.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Practical Implications:</em></strong><em> The outcomes of this program can serve as a practical model for other rural areas facing similar health issues. It emphasizes the importance of integrating education with basic health services to promote community-driven health awareness and disease prevention.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Originality/Value:</em></strong><em> This initiative uniquely combines preventive screening with targeted education in a rural setting, addressing an underrepresented issue in community health outreach. The program contributes to reducing barriers to health access and reinforces the role of universities in supporting local public health efforts.</em></p> Arif Fadillah, Habibilah ‘Ulhaq, Meilia Maharani, Musaddad Holil, Nadia Nadia, Nur Kumalawati Hasanah, Nyayu Fauziah Rusdi, Putri Aisyiyah, Sarli Madona, Tia Juwita, Tri Adista Putri Copyright (c) 2025 Jurnal Abdimas Musi Charitas https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://journal.ukmc.ac.id/index.php/jpm/article/view/1372 Sun, 29 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000 EDUKASI TENTANG PENANGANAN CEDERA AKUT PADA ANAK DENGAN METODE PRICE PADA GURU PENDIDIKAN ANAK USIA DINI https://journal.ukmc.ac.id/index.php/jpm/article/view/1415 <p><strong><em>Purpose</em></strong><em>: This community service activity aimed to enhance early childhood education teachers’ knowledge and skills in handling acute injuries in children using the PRICE method (Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation). The goal was to provide practical and preventive health education tailored for school-based injury response.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Design/Methodology/Approach</em></strong><em>: The activity was carried out through direct education and demonstration sessions involving early childhood education teachers in Surabaya. Educational media, including posters and leaflets, were used to deliver the material. Demonstrations were conducted to simulate the application of the PRICE method in handling common school injuries.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Findings</em></strong><em>: The results showed a significant improvement in participants’ understanding of acute injury management. Teachers actively engaged in the simulation and expressed increased confidence in applying the PRICE method when injuries occur in school environments.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Practical Implications</em></strong><em>: This training is expected to improve the readiness of school staff to respond to minor injuries, thereby reducing potential complications and promoting child safety in early education settings.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Originality/Value</em></strong><em>: The activity contributes to increasing health literacy among non-medical education professionals. It bridges the gap between theory and practice in first aid for children, especially in environments with limited access to immediate medical assistance.</em></p> Selly Omega Dila Teju, Ni Nyoman Wahyu Lestarina, Ni Ketut Suadnyani Copyright (c) 2025 Jurnal Abdimas Musi Charitas https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://journal.ukmc.ac.id/index.php/jpm/article/view/1415 Sun, 29 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000 LANGKAH PREVENTIF MENANGGULANGI PERUNDUNGAN VERBAL MELALUI BOOKLET PADA SISWA SMPN DI SURABAYA TIMUR https://journal.ukmc.ac.id/index.php/jpm/article/view/jamc_juni_prasetyo <p><strong><em>Purpose</em></strong><em> : This community service activity aimed to address the issue of verbal bullying among junior high school students (SMPN) in East Surabaya. Although schools are expected to foster a safe and supportive climate, verbal bullying continues to emerge, particularly during students’ transition from elementary to junior high levels.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Design/Methodology/Approach</em></strong><em> : The solution was implemented through a psychoeducational program involving the use of a booklet titled “Choose Words, Build Better Relationships”. The booklet contained material on verbal bullying and social skills development for adolescents. The program was delivered on December 6, 2024, involving 20 students and 8 guidance teachers from four SMPNs. Activities included a pre-test, group-based worksheet discussions guided by trained facilitators, a verbal bullying seminar, and a post-test. Evaluation was conducted using a 10-item questionnaire based on the booklet contents.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Findings </em></strong><em>: The average pre-test score was 95.5, increasing slightly to 97 in the post-test. Although the quantitative improvement was modest, qualitative feedback indicated improved awareness of bullying, enhanced social problem-solving skills, and a more positive student mindset. Participants also showed enthusiasm in sharing knowledge with peers.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Practical Implications</em></strong><em> : The booklet and psychoeducational method can be practically applied in other schools as a preventive measure to reduce verbal bullying. Teachers and peer leaders can replicate the method to cultivate a positive school environment and encourage anti-bullying behavior.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Originality/Value </em></strong><em>: This project introduced a structured and replicable approach to bullying prevention that emphasizes student reflection and peer-based knowledge dissemination. The integration of the Stop-Think-Do method also adds value by equipping students with actionable steps to address interpersonal conflict.</em></p> Eli Prasetyo, Dessi Christanti, Dicky Susilo, Made Dharmawan Rama Adhyatma Copyright (c) 2025 Jurnal Abdimas Musi Charitas https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://journal.ukmc.ac.id/index.php/jpm/article/view/jamc_juni_prasetyo Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000 EDUKASI PENCEGAHAN NYERI SENDI PADA WARGA DI DESA PULAU KABAL KECAMATAN INDRALAYA UTARA KABUPATEN OGAN ILIR https://journal.ukmc.ac.id/index.php/jpm/article/view/jamc_juni_sari <p><strong>Purpose: </strong>To&nbsp;identify and develop strategies for preventing personal pain among the residents of Puilau Kabal Village, the majority of whom work in the agricultural and plantation sectors.&nbsp;<strong>Methodology:</strong><strong>&nbsp;</strong>Data collection using a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, involving 12 respondents selected through purposive sampling.
