Reproductive health (Kespro) is an important aspect that should be introduced from adolescence, as this period is a transition to adulthood marked by physical, psychological, and social changes. A lack of understanding of reproductive health can lead to risky behavior among adolescents. This community service activity was carried out at SMP Pertiwi 1 Kota Jambi with the aim of optimizing the role of the School Health Unit (UKS) in improving students’ knowledge of reproductive health. The method used was health education through counseling, interactive presentations, and group discussions. The activity was conducted from March to August 2025. Evaluation was carried out using pre-test and post-test instruments administered to 10 UKS team students. The results showed that before education, the students’ level of knowledge was in the good category for 8 students (80%), sufficient for 2 students (20%), and poor for 0 students (0%). After education, students’ knowledge improved to the good category for all 10 students (100%), while sufficient and poor categories were not found (0%). Although most students already have good knowledge, there are still 20% of students with sufficient knowledge. Education is needed to align the understanding of all members of the Health and Safety Team, prevent information gaps between students, and ensure all participants have correct and standardized knowledge. These findings indicate a significant improvement in students’ knowledge after receiving education. Thus, this activity proves that reproductive health education through the optimization of the UKS team is effective in increasing knowledge and creating positive changes before and after implementation. It is expected that similar programs can be carried out sustainably so that students gain adequate provisions to maintain reproductive health from an early age.

One of the nutritional problems often experienced by adolescent girls is anemia. Adolescent girls are categorized as having anemia if the hemoglobin (Hb) level in the blood is less than 12 gr/dl. The type of anemia that often occurs is iron deficiency anemia, which is generally caused by blood loss during menstruation and increased iron requirements during puberty. As an effort to overcome this, a sustainable anemia prevention program was designed through the formation and strengthening of the Anemia Ambassador Team. This strengthening is carried out by providing education about anemia to adolescent girls. The purpose of this strengthening is to form peer cadres who play an active role in the prevention and control of anemia in the school environment on an ongoing basis. This activity was carried out in Al Hidayah Islamic Boarding School, Jambi City. The target of the activity was 13 people, with the FGD method and guidance. The results of the community service were obtained by forming ORSADA Cadres selected from peers who are expected to have a strong influence and be able to convey information about anemia, an increase in the knowledge of cadres about preventing anemia

Background: Organizational culture is widely recognized as a central determinant of institutional effectiveness and quality services. The complexity of patients need in psychiatric hospital requires cohesive teamwork and strong commitment. The formation of organizational cultures was influenced by a variety of factors, but it has not been widely identified. Purpose: The study was investigated the influence of organizational values, leadership, and employee motivation in shaping the organizational culture of psychiatric hospitals. Method: A descriptive quantitative with cross-sectional approach. The study took place from June 2024 in H.M Syukur Mental Hospital. The independent variables studied were values, leadership, and motivation, while the dependent variable was organizational culture. Using purposivel sampling and slovin formula 87 respondents were selected, who meet specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. The analysis proceeded with a univariate test to determine the frequency distribution of respondents characteristics, followed by bivariate analysis using chi-square test. Results: The statistical test results show that all shaping factors are significantly related to organizational culture (p<0.05). Specifically, the values shaping factor has a significant relationship (p=0.003), the leadership factor also shows a significant relationship (p=0.001), and the motivation factor has a very significant relationship with organizational culture (p=0.000). These findings confirm that these three factors play an important role in shaping organizational culture.

Background: Perineal wounds following childbirth are common, particularly among women who experience vaginal or perineal tears. When healing is delayed, these wounds may lead to serious postpartum complications, including infection, bleeding, and increased maternal morbidity. Kegel exercises are widely recognized as a simple, non-pharmacological intervention that strengthens pelvic floor muscles and may support the healing process of perineal wounds. However, limited attention has been given to postpartum mothers’ personal experiences in performing these exercises during the recovery period. Purpose: To explore postpartum mothers’ experiences in practicing Kegel exercises as part of perineal wound healing at the Gadingrejo Community Health Center. Method: A qualitative study with a phenomenological approach was employed to capture mothers’ lived experiences. Participants were selected through purposive sampling, involving eight postpartum mothers who met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and direct observation. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify recurring patterns and meanings related to the implementation of Kegel exercises. Results: The findings revealed five main themes: (1) timing of Kegel exercise initiation, (2) initial physical complaints after childbirth, (3) perceived benefits of the exercises, (4) vaginal care practices, and (5) dietary patterns during the postpartum period. Observations of wound healing using the REEDA assessment showed a gradual improvement from day one to day seven. Initially, most participants demonstrated poor wound healing characteristics, which progressed to good wound healing by the end of the observation period. Conclusion: Postpartum mothers who practiced Kegel exercises experienced better perineal wound healing compared to their initial condition. These findings suggest that Kegel exercises may contribute to accelerating the perineal wound healing process. In addition, proper vaginal care and adequate nutritional intake appear to play supportive roles in promoting recovery among postpartum women.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a radiological imaging modality that does not use ionizing radiation, but it often causes anxiety. This anxiety is triggered by the relatively long examination duration, ranging from 30 to 45 minutes, and is triggered by the examination environment, which is shaped like a tunnel, which can trigger claustrophobia. One method that can be used to reduce anxiety is through complementary therapies, such as lavender aromatherapy, which is known to have a relaxing effect. This study aims to determine the effect of lavender aromatherapy on reducing anxiety levels in patients undergoing MRI examinations at the Radiology Installation of RSI Siti Rahmah Padang. The study design used was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test with a control group design. The number of research samples was 54 people who were divided into two groups, namely the control group and the intervention group. The intervention group was given lavender aromatherapy before undergoing MRI examination, while the control group was not given any treatment. Anxiety levels were measured using the Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Anxiety Questionnaire (MRI-AQ) before and after the intervention of using Lavender aromatherapy. The results showed a significant decrease in patient anxiety levels in the intervention group after being given lavender aromatherapy (p-value = 0.001). Meanwhile, the control group did not show a significant change in anxiety levels (p-value > 0.05). Lavender aromatherapy is effective in reducing anxiety levels in patients undergoing MRI examinations. This study suggests that lavender aromatherapy can be considered as a complementary method to reduce patient anxiety in the MRI room, thereby improving the comfort and quality of radiology services in hospitals.

Latar Belakang: Berat badan lahir rendah (BBLR) tetap menjadi tantangan kesehatan global, terutama di negara berpenghasilan rendah dan menengah, karena berhubungan erat dengan morbiditas dan mortalitas neonatal. Faktor gizi ibu, termasuk anemia dan kekurangan energi kronis (KEK), merupakan penyebab penting sekaligus dapat dicegah. Tujuan: Analisis komparasi pengaruh anemia dan kekurangan energi kronis (KEK) selama kehamilan terhadap risiko kejadian bayi berat lahir rendah. Metode: Pencarian dilakukan di PubMed dan Scopus (Januari 2020-Juli 2025). Dari 1121 artikel yang teridentifikasi, 22 studi memenuhi kriteria. Studi yang disertakan memiliki desain observasional (kasus-kontrol dan kohort) yang melaporkan hubungan antara anemia atau KEK pada ibu dengan BBLR. Ekstraksi data dilakukan secara independen oleh dua peneliti. Rasio odds (OR) gabungan dengan interval kepercayaan 95% (CI) dihitung menggunakan pendekatan statistik yang sesuai. Heterogenitas dinilai dengan statistik I², dan plot corong digunakan untuk menilai bias publikasi. Protokol tinjauan didaftarkan di PROSPERO CRD420251138329. Diskusi: Sebanyak 22 studi yang dianalisis, terdiri dari 19 studi tentang anemia ibu (n = 16.219) dan 11 studi tentang KEK (n = 4.440). Analisis gabungan menunjukkan KEK meningkatkan risiko BBLR hampir 3 kali lipat (OR = 2,98, 95% CI: 2,07–4,29, I² = 82%). Anemia juga meningkatkan risiko sebesar 2.4 kali (OR = 2,44, 95% CI: 1,73-3,43, I² = 86%). Funnel plot menunjukkan distribusi yang relatif simetris tanpa indikasi bias publikasi. Kesimpulan: Anemia dan KEK berhubungan signifikan dengan BBLR, dengan KEK menunjukkan asosiasi lebih kuat. Hasil ini menegaskan pentingnya intervensi antenatal, termasuk suplementasi zat besi dan peningkatan asupan energi-protein.

The use of digital devices among young adults has increased substantially, leading to higher exposure to blue light in everyday life. Blue light exposure has been associated with oxidative stress and cellular dysfunction of the skin, which are closely related to the aging process. This study aims to examine the relationship between blue light exposure from digital devices and accelerated premature aging among young adults. A quantitative explanatory approach with a cross-sectional design was employed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM–PLS). The sample consisted of 210 young adults aged 18–35 years who actively use digital devices. The results indicate that blue light exposure has a positive and significant effect on premature aging. These findings confirm that daily digital exposure represents a lifestyle-related risk factor contributing to accelerated skin aging. This study provides empirical evidence to support preventive strategies for skin health in the digital era.

Community empowerment in informal worker groups is the Occupational Health Business Post (UKK), which is a preventive measure to protect workers so they live healthy lives and are free from health problems and bad influences caused by work. Based on information from occupational health program holders at the Tahtul Yaman Public health center, in 2020 the “Kapal Sanggat” UKK Post was formed, but the form of activity is only general in nature and carried out based on patient needs.

The use of Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA) is one of the concerns in the traditional health program at the Kenali Besar Community Health Center (UPTD). Based on a survey in the Kenali Besar Community Health Center (UPTD) area regarding the use of TOGA, it was found that the community's knowledge of medicinal plants is still limited and the use of TOGA is only as ornamental plants and kitchen spices. Therefore, we created the Herbal Boutique Innovation (Fit with Herbal Therapeutics). This community service method is based on coaching, digital literacy-based education, and demonstrations of medicinal plant management in the community/TOGA Independent Care Group in the Kenali Besar Community Health Center (UPTD) area. The effectiveness of the counseling was measured using a pre-test and post-test questionnaire of 10 questions. The purpose of this activity is to increase the understanding of TOGA cadres and the community with a digital and direct information approach. The results of this community service show that a proactive discussion process occurs during the coaching and counseling process. The results of the pre-test and post-test measurements show an increase in the average knowledge score of participants from 58% to 72%. This indicates that the counseling and mentoring activities through the Herbal Boutique Innovation are effective in increasing the cadres' understanding of the use of family medicinal plants. In conclusion, the TOGA Independent Care program, with its Herbal Boutique Innovation, can serve as a platform for enhancing the knowledge of cadres and the community within the Kenali Besar Community Health Center area. It is hoped that this activity can continue with broader coverage
