Based on the 2018 Basic Health Research (Riskesdas), 61.9% of Indonesians aged 55–64 years and 54.2% aged over 65 years experienced dental and oral health problems, while in South Kalimantan the prevalence reached 59%. Among children aged 10–14 years, only 2.1% brushed their teeth properly, and overall only 8.1% of Indonesians practiced correct and timely toothbrushing habits.

A total sampling technique was applied, and interventions included mass toothbrushing, health education, and the application of disclosing solution to detect dental plaque as an indicator of oral hygiene. Initial examinations showed that the majority of students had moderate levels of oral hygiene. After the intervention, follow-up examinations demonstrated significant improvements, with 32 students (76%) achieving good oral hygiene, while 10 students (24%) remained in the moderate category. No students were found in the poor category. The targeted outcomes were successfully achieved, indicating that the combination of mass toothbrushing and disclosing solution application was effective in promoting oral health. It is recommended that schools, parents, and health workers continue to integrate these activities regularly to improve children’s oral hygiene and prevent future dental health problems.

Meggy Kai — 2025-10-01

Based on International Diabetes Federation (IDF) data, an estimated 463 million people aged 20–79 worldwide were living with diabetes in 2019, with projections rising to 578 million by 2030 and 700 million by 2045. Indonesia ranks seventh among the ten countries with the highest number of diabetes cases, totaling 10.7 million people. Banjarbaru City is one of the regions in South Kalimantan with the highest prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Inadequate management of DM can result in both acute and chronic complications, including cardiovascular disorders, peripheral neuropathy, and diabetic foot. One non-pharmacological approach to reducing blood glucose levels is through physical activity, such as the Diabetes Foot Exercise (Senam Kaki Diabetes) and Diabetes Exercise (Senam Diabetes), which aim to improve circulation, strengthen muscles, and enhance glucose metabolism. This community service project aimed to improve knowledge, skills, and self-reliance among Prolanis patients with type 2 DM in applying combined foot and diabetes exercises as an alternative method to lower blood glucose levels and prevent complications. A cross-sectional analytic observational method was applied, with the population comprising 20 Prolanis patients selected using total sampling. Initial blood glucose tests (pretest) showed that 16 participants had hyperglycemia, while 4 were within normal limits. The intervention included education on DM complications and prevention, followed by the practice of combined foot and diabetes exercises. Post-intervention (posttest) results indicated a decrease in blood glucose levels in all participants, although 50% remained in the hyperglycemia category. The targeted goal was achieved, with improvements in both blood glucose control and patient knowledge. It is recommended that healthcare workers and community health cadres continue promoting and supervising the regular practice of these exercises to maintain quality of life and reduce the risk of complications in type 2 DM patients.

Back pain is a common discomfort experienced by approximately 90% of pregnant women due to progressive postural changes caused by uterine enlargement. This condition not only decreases sleep quality but also negatively affects maternal and fetal health, including weakened immunity, increased stress, and higher risks of low birth weight. One effective approach to alleviate back pain during pregnancy is prenatal exercise, which enhances muscle and ligament elasticity, improves posture, and trains breathing as well as relaxation techniques. However, in Sungai Alang Village, all 15 community health cadres lacked knowledge and skills in prenatal exercise. This community service program aimed to improve cadres’ capacity through prenatal exercise training, enabling them to assist pregnant women independently. The methods included pre- and post-tests to assess cadres’ knowledge, practical training on safe exercise techniques, development of illustrated leaflets, and video tutorials for sustainable learning. Monitoring and evaluation were conducted to measure cadres’ progress in knowledge and practice. The results indicated increased understanding among cadres regarding prenatal exercise, improved ability to support pregnant women during maternal classes, and the availability of educational media such as leaflets and videos. Additional outcomes included publications in newspapers, video documentation uploaded to the Poltekkes Kemenkes Banjarmasin YouTube channel, and submission to a nationally accredited journal. In conclusion, empowering community health cadres is an effective strategy to assist pregnant women in managing back pain through prenatal exercise while strengthening community-based maternal health support systems.

Pencegahan Hipertensi Melalui Pemberdayaan Keluarga Menuju Perilaku Adaptif Di Desa Pasar Jati Kecamatan Astambul Kabupaten Banjar Tahun 2025

Parellangi — 2025-10-01

The prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia has continued to increase significantly, from 25.8% in 2013 to 34.11% in 2018. In South Kalimantan Province, hypertension is one of the leading causes of death, particularly among women, with an incidence rate reaching 55.8% in 2022. Banjar Regency ranks second highest in the province, with a prevalence rate of 90.3%, indicating the urgent need for more effective preventive interventions. Low public awareness and knowledge regarding the risks of hypertension are major contributing factors to the high morbidity rate. This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of health cadres and family members who accompany individuals with hypertension through a digital application-based educational approach. The program was conducted over four months and involved 24 respondents, consisting of health cadres and family caregivers, through a series of interventions including training, digital application implementation, as well as monitoring and evaluation. The results of the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test showed that the intervention did not have a statistically significant effect on the knowledge of family caregivers (p = 0.083), but it had a significant impact on improving the knowledge and skills of the health cadres (p = 0.036). These findings suggest that empowering health cadres through digital education can be an effective strategy to reduce hypertension incidence in the community. The results emphasize the importance of transforming health education into a more adaptive, interactive digital approach aligned with the technological usage trends among the productive-age population.

In this community service, the respondents are 30 elderly individuals (25 elderly and 5 staff members from the home).

The results obtained show that there are 6 respondents (24.0%) with ≥ 10 teeth, 11 respondents (44.0%) with 6-10 teeth, and 8 respondents (32.0%) with ≤ 6 teeth. Meanwhile, there are 16 respondents (64.0%) without caries and 9 respondents (36.0%) with no caries or who have lost their teeth (edentulous).
