Although both male and female adolescents are affected, females are at higher risk due to physiological factors. This community service program aimed to improve adolescents’ knowledge, understanding, and initial attitudes toward Iron-Folic Acid (IFA) supplementation as a strategy for anemia prevention. The program was conducted at Salman Al-Farisi Islamic Boarding School in Central Lombok, involving both male and female adolescents. The intervention consisted of a single-session participatory education approach, including interactive lectures, group discussions, demonstrations of proper IFA consumption, and the use of educational media such as posters and leaflets. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in knowledge, with the proportion of participants with good knowledge increasing from 20% to 70%, and poor knowledge decreasing from 45% to 5%. Participants also showed more positive initial attitudes and greater openness toward IFA consumption. However, due to the one-time nature of the intervention, long-term adherence could not be evaluated. Therefore, the primary outcome of this program is an increased level of behavioral readiness, serving as a foundation for long-term behavior change.

However, based on initial observations and preliminary interviews, it was identified that Tukad Lilaulangun does not yet have a fixed agenda or tourism attractions that can draw both local and international tourists to visit. On the other hand, community education regarding the importance of maintaining river cleanliness and sustainability remains insufficient. Therefore, technological integration is needed to deliver environmental campaigns effectively to people across generations. In response to these challenges, the Department of Tourism at Bali State Polytechnic contributed through a community service program aimed at mapping the area’s tourism potential. This program was carried out in several stages, including socialization, digital marketing training, tourism potential mapping, and focus group discussions. The methods applied involved outreach activities, face-to-face material delivery, and direct practical implementation. Three activities were successfully conducted, resulting in an average partner satisfaction score of 3.22 (satisfied) in the preparation stage, 3.30 (very satisfied) during implementation, and 3.21 (satisfied) in the evaluation stage. These results indicate a strong alignment between the partner’s challenges and the solutions that have been implemented</em>.</p> Muhamad Nova, I Made Budiasa, I Wayan Basi Arjana, Cokorda Istri Sri Widhari Copyright (c) 2026 KOMUNITA: Jurnal Pengabdian dan Pemberdayaan Masyarakat https://journal.pelitanusa.or.id/index.php/komunita/article/view/638 Mon, 04 May 2026 00:07:01 +0000 Peningkatan Kompetensi Pengurus Koperasi Kelurahan Merah Putih Melalui Pelatihan Inovasi Digital di Kota Blitar https://journal.pelitanusa.or.id/index.php/komunita/article/view/639 <p><em>Rural economic development in Indonesia faces the challenge of the digital divide, especially in cooperative governance.

Mass circumcision is a promotive and preventive intervention that plays an important role in maintaining boys’ health, particularly in relation to reproductive health. Limited access to healthcare services and socioeconomic factors in certain regions contribute to the low coverage of early-age circumcision, thereby increasing the risk of conditions such as phimosis, balanitis, and urinary tract infections. This community service activity aimed to improve children’s health through the implementation of a mass circumcision program in Cipare District, Serang City, Banten Province. The activity involved 23 boys aged 3–8 years, with the majority of participants in the 6–8-year age group. The implementation included initial health screening, parental education, circumcision procedures performed by medical personnel, and post-procedure monitoring. The results showed that all procedures were carried out safely and effectively without serious complications. Several medical indications were identified among participants, including phimosis, balanitis, and a history of urinary tract infections.

The main target was the SEKAMI children at the Station. The purpose of this activity was to foster faith, foster a missionary spirit and foster the faith of children, so that they could develop as individuals of faith, character and could have a missionary spirit in their daily lives. This was done because nowadays children are trapped in behavior that deviates from Catholic teachings such as using bad words, disrespecting adults, and not being involved in spiritual activities. This activity aims to be able to weave children's faith in SEKAMI activities and can foster a missionary spirit in loving service in their daily lives. The method used in this service activity was Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) which this method builds collaboration to weave faith and foster a missionary spirit in children, which was carried out during August-October 2025 at the Good Shepherd Waiklibang Station. The result of this activity is that SEKAMI children in the Parish of St. Lodovikus Waiklibang, especially at the Good Shepherd Station Waiklibang, are increasingly aware of their faith and their faith will continue to increase with every SEKAMI activity carried out in accordance with the program planned by the children's animators. They will be encouraged to increasingly live out their faith in every SEKAMI activity meeting, and the children are more aware of the importance of sharing love with others. Thus, this PKM activity can provide a real contribution in knitting faith and missionary spirit within SEKAMI children and is able to shape their character into superior individuals in the future for the Church, family, and society.</em></p> Sisilia Kamolen, Emanuel Dule Mbete, Hendrikus Febrianto Fernandez Copyright (c) 2026 KOMUNITA: Jurnal Pengabdian dan Pemberdayaan Masyarakat https://journal.pelitanusa.or.id/index.php/komunita/article/view/572 Sun, 10 May 2026 07:01:01 +0000 Reciprocal Teaching: Upaya Peningkatan Budaya Literasi Generasi Z Diera Digital SD Utama Muhammadiyah 5 Kota Parepare https://journal.pelitanusa.or.id/index.php/komunita/article/view/573 <p>Program pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan minat baca dan kemampuan literasi siswa melalui pojok baca dengan penerapan metode <em>Reciprocal Teaching</em> dan bimbingan belajar.

Hal ini dikarenakan cakupan deteksi dini yang masih rendah. Salah satu faktor penyebabnya adalah masih menggunakan pencatatan manual di layanan primer, sehingga pemantauan pasien positif tidak optimal. Kondisi ini terjadi di Puskesmas Tebing Gerinting, Kabupaten Ogan Ilir, Sumatera Selatan. Oleh karena itu, kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan dan menerapkan aplikasi registri skrining pra-kanker serviks berbasis web sehingga dapat meningkatkan efisiensi pencatatan dan akurasi pelaporan data. Metode pelaksanaan berbasis pendekatan berbasis masyarakat meliputi analisis kebutuhan pengguna, perancangan dan pengembangan sistem, uji coba terbatas, pelatihan tenaga kesehatan, serta evaluasi implementasi awal. Aplikasi yang dikembangkan memiliki tiga fungsi utama, diantaranya pendaftaran pasien, pencatatan hasil pemeriksaan, dan dashboard pemantauan capaian skrining. Hasil implementasi menunjukkan bahwa tenaga kesehatan di Puskesmas Tebing Gerinting mampu mengoperasikan sistem secara mandiri setelah pelatihan. Penggunaan aplikasi mempercepat proses input data, dan membantu peningkatan kualitas layanan skrining.</p> Muhammad Naufal Rachmatullah, Akhiar Wista Arum Arum, Siti Nurmaini, Muhammad Fachrurrozi, Novi Yusliani Copyright (c) 2026 KOMUNITA: Jurnal Pengabdian dan Pemberdayaan Masyarakat https://journal.pelitanusa.or.id/index.php/komunita/article/view/732 Thu, 14 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Pemberdayaan Siswa dalam Menggunakan Media Sosial secara Bijak dan Bertanggung Jawab melalui Pendidikan Agama Kristen di SMAK Maryo Nekmese Hoineno https://journal.pelitanusa.or.id/index.php/komunita/article/view/622 <p><em>This community service activity was conducted at SMAK Maryo Nekmese Hoineno, South Central Timor Regency, in response to students’ low awareness in using social media wisely and responsibly, particularly in filtering information, maintaining digital communication ethics, and utilizing social media for educational purposes.

Social, economic, and cultural factors, as well as the lack of legal awareness of the community, are the main causes of the high rate of child marriage, including in Puncu District, Kediri Regency. The practice of marriage dispensation that is easy to obtain, especially due to pregnancy outside of marriage and social pressure, worsens this condition. </em><em>This community service uses the Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach method which is oriented towards strengthening/empowering the community in an area. By using techniques and analysis in accordance with the guidelines for community service methodology to answer existing problems. </em><em>The negative impacts of child marriage include health problems, dropping out of school, economic limitations, and increased risk of divorce and domestic violence. Prevention efforts are carried out through a holistic approach that includes education, economic empowerment, legal strengthening, and the active role of various parties, including the government, non-governmental organizations, and religious leaders. Policies that have been implemented in Puncu District, such as legal strengthening and education, show a decrease in the number of requests for marriage dispensation and success in preventing child marriage. A comprehensive approach is expected to reduce the number of child marriages and protect children's rights to ensure a better future for the younger generation.</em></p> Rizki Dermawan, Muhammad Fajar Sidiq Widodo Copyright (c) 2026 KOMUNITA: Jurnal Pengabdian dan Pemberdayaan Masyarakat https://journal.pelitanusa.or.id/index.php/komunita/article/view/625 Thu, 14 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Sinergi Sivitas Akademika Politeknik Kutaraja Dalam Respon Bencana Banjir dan Distribusi Bantuan Berbasis Masyarakat https://journal.pelitanusa.or.id/index.php/komunita/article/view/659 <p><em>This Community Service Program (PkM) aims to strengthen the role of the academic community of Politeknik Kutaraja in emergency response to flood disasters and the distribution of community-based social assistance in Dayah Husein Village, Meurah Dua District, Pidie Jaya Regency.

This community service program aimed to implement a child digital security education model based on structured evaluation and to examine its effectiveness within the International Community Service Program in Malaysia as a systematic and measurable preventive intervention. The activity involved 25 students from a non-formal educational institution. The model was implemented through interactive learning that included awareness building, digital risk identification, prevention strategy training, and structured evaluation using pre-test and post-test instruments. The results showed an increase in the average score from 55% to 85%, with a 30% improvement and an N-Gain value of 0.67 (moderate category). A total of 88% of participants experienced an increase in individual scores and exceeded the minimum target of 60%.

However, some elementary school teachers have not fully followed these technological developments, so the preparation of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) questions tends to be done conventionally and has not optimized AI as a professional tool. This Community Service activity aims to provide training in creating AI-based HOTS questions for elementary school teachers to improve their pedagogical competence and digital literacy. The method used is Participatory Action Research (PAR), with stages of socialization, training, technology implementation, mentoring, and program sustainability by emphasizing the active participation of partners. The activity was carried out through collaboration between the proposing team and the target community, namely teachers of Setia Mulya 02 Bekasi Elementary School, so that the materials and practices provided are aligned with the school's needs. The results of the program implementation showed a significant increase in teacher understanding and skills, with more than 70% of participants being able to independently prepare AI-based HOTS questions. These findings confirm that the Community Service Program is relevant to the demands of learning in the digital era and significantly contributes to improving the quality of assessments that are contextual, technology-adaptive, and oriented toward developing students' higher-order thinking.</em></p> Muhammad Rijal Fadli, Khusnul Fatonah, Imam Santosa Copyright (c) 2026 KOMUNITA: Jurnal Pengabdian dan Pemberdayaan Masyarakat https://journal.pelitanusa.or.id/index.php/komunita/article/view/635 Thu, 14 May 2026 12:42:48 +0000 Merancang Masa Depan: Menyusun Kalender Kehidupan Siswa SMAS Pulau Barranglompo https://journal.pelitanusa.or.id/index.php/komunita/article/view/561 <p><em>Workshop on Designing the Future: Creating a Life Calendar for Students of SMAS Pulau Barranglompo aims to increase students' awareness and ability to plan for the future in facing life's challenges and determining their life goals from an early age. The scope of this community service activity includes strengthening self-planning literacy, time management, and the development of students' personal vision and mission. The methods used include interactive material delivery, group discussions, and hands-on practice in compiling life calendars based on self-reflection and short-term and long-term goals. The results of the activity show that students demonstrate an increased understanding of the importance of life planning and are able to compile life calendars that reflect their potential, interests, and future hopes. New facts identified were the lack of personal planning habits among coastal students and their high enthusiasm for visual and narrative approaches in developing life plans. The main conclusion of this activity was that empowerment through a life planning approach was able to foster students' motivation, direction, and personal responsibility in undergoing the education process and living a more focused life. This activity makes a real contribution to building the capacity of students as the next generation with a long-term vision for life.</em></p> Mustika Kusuma Basir , St Salmah Sharon Copyright (c) 2026 KOMUNITA: Jurnal Pengabdian dan Pemberdayaan Masyarakat https://journal.pelitanusa.or.id/index.php/komunita/article/view/561 Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Pembinaan Misdinar Untuk Meningkatkan Kesiapan Pelayanan Altar di Paroki Spiritu Santo Misir https://journal.pelitanusa.or.id/index.php/komunita/article/view/567 <p><em>The Community Service Program (KKN) focusing on altar server (misdinar) formation at the Holy Spirit Misir Parish was carried out to respond to the need for improving the readiness of altar service in liturgical celebrations. This topic was chosen because altar servers have an important role in supporting the smooth implementation of the Eucharist, which requires understanding of liturgical order, disciplined behavior, and technical skills. The method used included field observation, coordination with liturgical officers, preparation of training modules, and implementation of training sessions consisting of theoretical explanations, task demonstrations, and direct altar practice. Periodic evaluations and participant feedback were also conducted to assess the effectiveness of the training materials. From the results, it was observed that there was an increase in the altar servers’ understanding about liturgical rubrics, accuracy of movements, readiness of liturgical items, and teamwork abilities. In this case, participants showed more positive attitudes, stronger discipline, and increased confidence when serving. Moreover, structured training helped establish a more or ganized workflow, contributing to smoother and more orderly liturgical celebrations. These findings show that targeted and continuous formation can very much improve the quality of altar service. Thus, this KKN program provides meaningful contributions to strengthen the competence of misdinar and can be made into a model for similar training programs in other parishes that want to improve the quality of liturgical service.</em></p> Veronika Delvriana, Hermania Bhoki Copyright (c) 2026 KOMUNITA: Jurnal Pengabdian dan Pemberdayaan Masyarakat https://journal.pelitanusa.or.id/index.php/komunita/article/view/567 Wed, 20 May 2026 13:15:52 +0000 Upaya Pengelolaan Sampah Anorganik Melalui Edukasi Kelas Hijau di Dusun 1 Desa Cisuren` https://journal.pelitanusa.or.id/index.php/komunita/article/view/658 <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">The issue of inorganic waste management remains an environmental concern that requires serious attention.
