Stroke is one of the main causes of disability that has a significant impact on the decline in patients' Activities of Daily Living (ADL). The limitations of physical and functional abilities after a stroke require comprehensive and sustainable nursing interventions. One approach that can be used is health education combined with complementary therapy as an effort to increase patient independence in carrying out daily activities. The purpose of this community service is to increase knowledge, understanding of patients and families about stroke, improving daily living activities of stroke patients through a complementary therapy approach. This community service is implemented in the form of providing education through a Health education program. This activity was carried out for 2 days at the Holistic Nursing Therapy Probolinggo clinic with a total of 54 participants. The results of the Community Service Program showed an increase in stroke knowledge before being given counseling as many as 65% of participants had poor knowledge and after being given counseling there was an increase in knowledge to 83% of good knowledge. Regarding ADL improvement, 54% of stroke patients had poor knowledge before education, while 87% had improved after education. This community partnership program has had a significant positive impact, as participants have been able to understand and improve their knowledge about stroke, as well as improving Activities of Daily Living (ADL) for stroke patients and their families. This increased level of understanding and knowledge will prevent complications and improve the quality of life for stroke patients.

The community service program was conducted to improve elderly health through early screening and education on Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in Karangbong Village, Pajarakan District, Probolinggo Regency. A total of 25 participants aged 55–70 years underwent random blood glucose (RBG) testing and health education interventions. The results showed that 60% had normal glucose levels, while 36% were categorized as prediabetes and 4% as DM. The educational intervention significantly enhanced knowledge, with the proportion of participants in the “good” category increasing from 20% to 44% and the “poor” category decreasing from 52% to 20%. Nevertheless, 56% of participants remained at moderate to poor knowledge levels, indicating the need for more interactive educational methods, family involvement, and continuous mentoring. This program demonstrates that early screening is effective in identifying health risks among the elderly, while lifestyle modification, regular monitoring, and community support are crucial to prevent complications. The model can be adapted for elderly health services such as posyandu lansia to strengthen promotive and preventive strategies against chronic diseases.

This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge of posyandu cadres in monitoring toddler growth and development through leaflet-based health education. A total of 12 cadres participated in the activity using a one group pre-test post-test design, with questionnaires adapted from the Ministry of Health guidelines and previous studies. The pre-test results showed that 41.6% of cadres had poor knowledge, while after the intervention there was a significant improvement, with 83.3% categorized as having good knowledge. The average score increased from 60 to 85, and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test indicated a statistically significant difference (p = 0.005). The use of leaflets combined with direct counseling proved effective in enhancing cadres’ understanding, although variations remained due to differences in educational background, experience, and limited time allocation. This program highlights the importance of empowering cadres as the frontline in early detection of growth and development disorders, while continuous mentoring and supervision by health professionals are essential to ensure optimal and sustainable monitoring practices.

Early adolescence represents a critical developmental stage characterized by rapid physical, hormonal, and psychological changes. These transitions often trigger anxiety, confusion, and misconceptions among students, particularly when accurate and age-appropriate reproductive health information is limited. At SMP Negeri 2 Glenmore, preliminary observations revealed that many ninth-grade students lacked basic knowledge about puberty, such as nocturnal emissions among boys or the normal menstrual cycle among girls. This community service program aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the edutainment approach in improving adolescents’ reproductive health knowledge. The intervention combined short lectures delivered in everyday language, small group discussions, interactive quizzes, and an anonymous question box to create a safe and engaging learning environment. A total of 42 students participated, and their knowledge was assessed using a 20-item questionnaire with established validity (0.71–0.89) and reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.85). Results demonstrated a substantial improvement: the proportion of students with good knowledge increased from 14.3% to 88.1%, with mean scores rising from 10.1 to 16.7. The highest gain was observed in the personal hygiene domain (+75%), followed by psychological aspects and risk-prevention behaviors. Anonymous questions revealed students’ genuine concerns, ranging from physiological changes to moral perceptions, underscoring the importance of open and non-judgmental communication. The findings suggest that edutainment is not only effective but also practical, low-cost, and replicable as a routine program within school counseling and health units. In conclusion, reproductive health education delivered through edutainment fosters knowledge, confidence, and healthy attitudes among adolescents, making it a valuable strategy for sustainable school-based health promotion
