Brivian Florentis Yustanta — 2026-02-12

Puberty is the stage where the sexual organs have matured, marked by the ability to reproduce. During this period, teenage girls can experience menarche or their first menstruation due to hormonal changes that occur in women. The lack of readiness of young women to face menarche can make young women afraid, anxious, embarrassed and confused. The readiness of young women to face menarche needs to be assisted by providing information from parents, teachers, midwives or cadres. The aim of this research is to determine the level of knowledge possessed by teenagers in dealing with menarche at elementary school Class 6 Muhamadiyah Ambon. The research method is descriptive. The research was carried out from 14 to 21 October 2024 at grade 6 elementary school Muhamadiyah Ambon, using a total sampling technique from a population of 30 respondents. The instrument in this research uses a questionnaire with data collection techniques filled in by the respondents themselves, the data is collected and processed by the researcher. Based on the research results, the majority of 18 people (60%) from the distribution of respondents' characteristics based on knowledge were female students with good knowledge, almost half of them 8 (26.6%) female students had sufficient knowledge and a small number of 4 people (13.4%) had poor knowledge. The knowledge a person has will determine a person's behavior. Teenagers' knowledge needs to be developed through the surrounding environment such as parents, teachers and the role of health workers to increase teenagers' knowledge about preparing for menarche and how to deal with menarche

Innovation Program Prevents Digital Risk From Early Childhood through Socialization and Parent Assistance in Managing Screen Time

Brivian Florentis Yustanta — 2026-02-12

The development of digital technology provides easy access to information, but on the other hand, it has an impact on increasing excessive screen time exposure in early childhood. This exposure has been proven to affect growth and development, especially in children's cognitive, social emotional, and physical aspects. This phenomenon is increasingly worrying in Indonesia, including in Kediri Regency, where gadget use from an early age is increasing without adequate supervision. Parents' lack of understanding about digital risks and screen time management exacerbates this condition. This program is designed as a community engagement activity based on education and intensive mentoring for parents of children aged 3–10 years. The methods used are interactive outreach, focus group discussions (FGDs), and mentoring on screen time management practices at home for two weeks. The main target group is 45 families in the working area of the Pare Community Health Center, Kediri. After the program implementation, there was a significant increase in parental knowledge about screen time management (the mean score increased from 56 to 85, p<0.05). In addition, there was a 30% decrease in average screen time for children within four weeks, as well as an increase in active supervision practices for children while using devices. These results demonstrate that educational interventions and parental guidance are effective strategies for fostering healthy digital parenting patterns. Good knowledge coupled with hands-on practice helps parents manage their children's screen time and prevent long-term negative impacts. The CERDAS program has proven effective as a community service innovation in improving family digital literacy and protecting children from digital risks from an early age. Similar programs are needed for replication in other regions, as well as integration into integrated health service post (Posyandu) programs for toddlers.

Wuri Widi Astuti — 2026-02-12

The Enhanced Recovery After Cesarean Section (ERACS) method is designed to accelerate maternal recovery after cesarean delivery through several interventions, including early mobilization. Early mobilization plays an important role in preventing postoperative complications and improving maternal physical recovery during the postpartum period. This study aimed to describe early mobilization among post–cesarean section mothers who underwent the ERACS method at RSNU Banyuwangi. This study employed a descriptive observational design. The population consisted of postpartum mothers on day 1–2 after cesarean section with the ERACS method at RSNU Banyuwangi. Data were collected from October 3 to November 3, 2024, using a total sampling technique involving 53 respondents. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis and presented as frequency distributions.

The results showed that most respondents performed early mobilization rapidly, with 42 respondents (79.2%), while 11 respondents (20.8%) performed early mobilization slowly.

In conclusion, the majority of post–cesarean section mothers with the ERACS method at RSNU Banyuwangi achieved rapid early mobilization. The implementation of ERACS contributes positively to faster postoperative recovery. Continuous education and assistance from healthcare providers are needed to optimize early mobilization and prevent postoperative complications.

Ita Eko Suparni — 2026-02-12

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that has long-term impacts on child growth and development as well as on the quality of human resources. Limited knowledge among parents of toddlers and posyandu cadres contributes significantly to the risk of stunting. This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge and roles of parents and posyandu cadres in preventing and managing stunting through health education and the implementation of the Nasi Kuning Innovation Program (Stunting Prevention Innovation) in Sidomulyo Village, Selorejo District, Blitar Regency. The methods applied included health education on stunting, interactive discussions, and demonstrations of preparing toddler menus based on local food resources. Knowledge levels were evaluated using pre-test and post-test assessments. Participants consisted of parents of stunted toddlers and posyandu cadres. The results showed a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge after the intervention. The proportion of respondents with good knowledge increased from 8% in the pre-test to 76% in the post-test, while the low knowledge category was no longer observed. The Nasi Kuning Innovation Program served as an effective and practical nutrition education medium that encouraged active community participation in stunting prevention and management. This activity demonstrates that integrating health education with local food-based innovations is an effective approach to supporting community-based stunting reduction efforts.

Linda Ishariani — 2026-02-12

Gadgets are interesting and inseparable from children's lives, leading to an increase in gadget use among children each year, which can impact their growth and development. Parental role significantly influences children's use of gadgets. The research aims to determine the relationship between parental roles and gadget use in school-aged children. The research design was correlational with a cross-sectional approach, using a sample of 26 respondents from a population of 120, selected by a purposive sampling technique. Data was collected using a questionnaire instrument and analyzed by Spearman's rho test. The study showed that parental roles were mostly good (61.5%) and gadget use by children was mostly high (69.2%). The results of the Spearman's rho test showed that p-value = 0.684 (α<0.05). It was concluded that no relationship between parental roles and gadget use in children. Gadget usage is not influenced by parental roles only, but also by environmental factors such as peer pressure. Parents are advised always to accompany, supervise, and be good role models for their children.

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem characterized by stunted linear growth and risks affecting long-term child development. One intervention effort is the provision of locally sourced complementary foods (PMT). This study aims to determine the weight gain of stunted toddlers receiving local PMT in the Lengkong Community Health Center (Puskesmas) area of Nganjuk Regency. The research design used was descriptive, using secondary data collection techniques from a cohort of toddlers. The study sample consisted of stunted toddlers aged 24-59 months who met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected from the toddler cohort and analyzed using frequency distribution. The results showed that 37 toddlers (97.4%) gained weight after receiving local PMT, while 1 toddler (2.6%) did not gain weight but maintained their weight. The conclusion of this study is that the provision of local PMT contributes to improving the nutritional status of stunted toddlers and is expected to be used as a strategy for stunting mitigation at the primary health care level.
