World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that in 2019, 17.9 million people died due to cardiovascular disease, 85% of which were caused by heart attack and stroke. Low awareness of cardiovascular disease can exacerbate the situation and increase mortality due to delays in treatment. This study aims to identify knowledge of heart attack and stroke in communities in West Sumatra Province and its relation to sex, ownership of health insurance, and delaying medical treatment due to cost. This study used a cross-sectional study design, conducted in West Sumatra Province from May to October 2020. The sample in this study was 223 people aged 18-54 years who were selected by simple random sampling. Data were analyzed by univariate analysis and bivariate analysis with the Mann-Whitney test. Most of the respondents have low knowledge about heart attacks and strokes and first aid response (57.4%). There was significant mean difference in knowledge between the group of respondents who have health insurance and the group that did not. There was no significant mean difference in knowledge of respondents by sex and delaying medical care because of costs. Low of public knowledge about the symptoms of heart attack and stroke should be addressed as an important contribution to reducing mortality and morbidity due to heart attack and stroke.
Anak-anak merupakan salah satu kelompok rentan yang paling berisiko terkena dampak bencana. Masih seringnya terjadi gempa berulang di Kota Padang membuat kepanikan pada siswa saat pembelajaran. Hal ini disebabkan masih lemahnya kesiapsiagan bencana pada siswa. Upaya yang dapat dilakukan adalah meningkatkan kesiapsiagaan bencana gempa bumi dan tsunami pada komunitas sekolah melalui pendidikan dan pelatihan siaga bencana. SMP Negeri 13 Padang merupakan salah satu sekolah yang terletak di zona merah gempa dan tsunami yang sudah memiliki komunitas siswa cerdas bencana. Namun, belum pernah mendapatkan pendidikan dan pelatihan siaga bencana. Tujuan kegiatan ini adalah meningkatkan kapasitas kesiapsiagaan bencana gempa bumi dan tsunami pada komunitas sekolah. Metode yang dilakukan adalah melakukan perencanaan dengan sosialisasi program; pelaksanaan kegiatan berupa memberikan pendidikan siaga bencana dan pelatihan kegawatdaruratan melalui ceramah, demonstrasi, dan simulasi, dan menyediakan buku saku siaga bencana kepada lingkungan sekolah; serta evaluasi dengan pretest dan post test hasil kegiatan. Hasil kegiatan adalah terjadinya rata-rata peningkatan pengetahuan siswa yaitu pada komunitas siswa cerdas bencana dari 13,28 menjadi 13,89, terjadinya peningkatan keterampilan kesiapsiagaan bencana gempa bumi dan tsunami pada komunitas siswa cerdas bencana di SMP Negeri 13 Padang, dan tersedianya buku saku siaga bencana. Diharapkan sekolah dapat memberikan dan mengembangkan pendidikan siaga bencana secara berkesinambungan dengan memasukannya dalam kurikulum pendidikan sekolah.
Violence is an act that refers to an attitude or behaviour that is inhumane so that it can hurt other people. People who commit violence not only harm their victims but will also make the perpetrators get punished according to applicable law. Data on youth violence compiled by the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (KPPA) in 2016 shows that Indonesia still has problems with youth and child violence. The activity was disseminated to partners, namely SMAN 5 Padang, which, although no cases have been reported, there has never been socialization and education about violence in adolescents. There was a concern and request for the school as a partner to socialize. The number of cases of violence, such as bullying and brawls, is something that we need to pay attention to. This service activity aimed to provide education and prevention regarding violence in adolescents. Activities were carried out in the form of educational activities as well as pre-tests and post-tests to measure students' knowledge of youth violence. Questions were sourced from socialization material obtained from various references. The pre-test results found that more than half of the students (73%) had good knowledge about violence in adolescents, and the post-test showed an increase in knowledge of 100%. It was hoped that with this activity, students could be more aware of all forms of violence around them, and the school could routinely provide continuing education on preventing youth violence.
