Lumastari Ajeng Wijayanti — 2025-01-20

Health services in Puskesmas have a strategic role in improving the quality of public health. However, the competence of nurses in health centers often still needs improvement, especially in terms of technical skills, communication, and patient-based services. This Community Service (PkM) activity aims to improve the competence of nurses at the Health Center through practice-based training and mentoring. The implementation method involves stages: needs analysis, competency-based training, case simulation, and direct mentoring in the workplace. This activity is carried out collaboratively using a participatory approach, where nurses are actively involved in each stage to ensure the relevance and sustainability of learning. The results showed a significant improvement in the concept understanding and practical ability of nurses, which was reflected in the increase in skill evaluation scores before and after training. Mentoring also helps nurses in applying the knowledge gained into the context of daily work. In conclusion, practice-based training and mentoring is an effective strategy to improve the competence of nurses in health centers, which can ultimately contribute to improving the quality of public health services. This program is recommended to be implemented more widely with continuous support from related parties.

Syaharuddin Syaharuddin — 2025-01-20

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious infectious disease that is a public health challenge in Indonesia. The disease is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and has a high rate of transmission, especially in environments with low health awareness. Increasing public knowledge and understanding of the prevention of pulmonary TB is a very important preventive step in reducing the transmission rate. The Community Service Program (PkM) aims to provide information and education to the public about pulmonary TB, including its causes, symptoms, ways of transmission, and prevention efforts. This activity is carried out with a participatory approach through counseling, group discussions, and distribution of health information materials. The main target is vulnerable groups in certain areas that have a high prevalence of pulmonary TB. The implementation method includes three main stages: (1) preparation in the form of identification of needs and development of educational modules, (2) implementation in the form of implementation of counseling sessions and interactive discussions, and (3) evaluation in the form of community knowledge surveys before and after activities. The data was analyzed descriptively to measure changes in the level of public understanding. The results showed a significant increase in public understanding of pulmonary TB, especially related to prevention through a healthy lifestyle, good home ventilation, and the importance of early treatment. The evaluation also revealed the community's commitment to implement the preventive measures that have been conveyed in the activity. In conclusion, information and education through PkM are effective in increasing public awareness and knowledge about the prevention of pulmonary TB. It is hoped that similar activities can continue to be carried out on a sustainable basis to support the national program to eradicate pulmonary TB in Indonesia.

Clean and healthy living habits are an important foundation in preventing various diseases, especially those transmitted through bacteria, viruses, or germs. Good and correct handwashing and toothbrushing techniques are often considered simple, but their understanding and application in society is still not optimal.
