Mental Health is the Main Goal of UNISA Yogya’s Community Service Program

,

Mental health is becoming an increasingly important issue in modern society. Recognizing this, the Faculty of Health Sciences (FIKES) of Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta in collaboration with Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta University and the Health Assembly of the Regional Leadership of `Aisyiyah (PWA) DIY through its community service (Pengabmas) launched an innovative program: the establishment of a Mental Health Alert Branch.

This program was implemented through community service at the Tamantirto Tengah `Aisyiyah Branch (PRA), Kasihan, Bantul. The activity, which was held on Sunday (8/9), aims to equip mental health cadres with knowledge and skills in early detection of mental health problems in the community.

“Our main goal is to create a society that cares about mental health,” said Dr. dr. Siti Istianah, M.Sc., chairperson of Makes PWA Yogyakarta.

Istianah also added, “With trained cadres, it is hoped that we can prevent and overcome mental health problems early on.”

Why Tamantirto Tengah PRA?

The choice of PRA Tamantirto Tengah as the location for this program was based on several factors. First, this location is around the campus so the community is heterogeneous and has various backgrounds. Second, the high mobility of the population in this area can be a source of stress and trigger mental health problems.

Healthy Soul

In this training, the cadres were given material on various types of mental disorders, how to detect them early, and early treatment. In addition, they were also trained to provide psychological support to individuals experiencing mental health problems.

“This training is very useful for us,” said one of the participants. “We now understand more about the importance of mental health and how to help people who are struggling with this issue.”

Dr. Ns. Mamnuah, M. Kep. Sp. Kep. J. Lecturer at UNISA Yogyakarta said that with the successful implementation of this program, it is expected to become a model for other ‘Aisyiyah branches in Yogyakarta. In the future, the cadres who have been trained will play an active role in providing mental health education to the community, as well as referring cases that require further treatment to professionals.

,

In an effort to improve the quality of early childhood health, the collaboration of the Midwifery Student Association (HIMABIDA) of Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta with the Health Assembly of the ‘Aisyiyah Branch Leadership (PCA) Kasihan and the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences (FKIK) of Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMY) held an Early Detection of Growth and Development (DDTK) program. This activity is carried out regularly every three months at KB Aisyiyah Surya Melati Kasihan, Bantul, Yogyakarta.

Collaboration

Sulis, the administrator of PCA Kasihan’s Health Assembly, revealed that the DDTK program is a tangible manifestation of PCA Kasihan’s concern for children’s health.

“We want to ensure that all children in the Kasihan area grow optimally. Through early detection, we can prevent stunting and provide appropriate interventions if problems are found,” said Sulis.

In this DDTK program collaboration, 36 Playgroup (KB) students aged 2-5 years participated in a health check which included measurements of height, weight, head circumference, and arm circumference. The examination was conducted by members of HIMABIDA UNISA Yogyakarta and the ‘Aisyiyah Kasihan Branch Leadership Council.

In addition to the physical examination, parents also received education on the importance of healthy child development. This education was delivered by a team of experts from the Health Assembly of ‘Aisyiyah Kasihan Branch Leadership and FKIK UMY.

Feerousah, Head of HIMABIDA UNISA Yogyakarta, expressed her gratitude for the collaboration in this program. “We are very enthusiastic about being involved in the DDTK program. This activity is not only beneficial for children, but also a place for students to implement the knowledge they have gained,” she said.

KKN UNISA Holds Free Health Checkup for Elderly RW 4

,

The ‘Aisyiyah University (UNISA) Reg 06 Community Service Program (KKN) Yogyakarta successfully held a free health check-up program for the elderly in RW 4 Tejokusuman Yogyakarta. The activity, which was held on Monday (02/09), received a warm welcome from the residents, as evidenced by the presence of more than 70 elderly people who enthusiastically followed the series of events.

Health Checkup

The free health check-up, which includes checking blood sugar and blood pressure as well as elderly gymnastics, aims to detect degenerative diseases that are often experienced by the elderly, such as diabetes and hypertension. With early detection, it is expected to prevent more serious complications and improve the quality of life of the elderly.

“We are very happy to see the enthusiasm of the residents,” said Nanda Intan, one of the UNISA KKN students. “This proves that our program is really needed by the community, especially the elderly who often find it difficult to access health services,” she continued.

The elderly gymnastics that were part of this event also provided enormous benefits. In addition to maintaining body fitness, elderly gymnastics can also improve mood and reduce the risk of depression that is often experienced by the elderly.

Srini, a representative of RW 4 Tejokusuman residents, expressed his appreciation for the initiative taken by UNISA Yogyakarta KKN students.

“Activities like this are very useful for us. Hopefully in the future it can continue to be done regularly,” he said.

The success of this program cannot be separated from the support of various parties, including the elderly management, health team, chairman of RW 4 Tejokusuman, and guidance from Field Supervisors (DPL). This success is expected to inspire other KKN groups to continue contributing to improving the welfare of the community.

,

Students of Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta’s Community Service Program (KKN) groups 03 and 04 raised awareness among the people of Notoprajan, Ngampilan, Yogyakarta about the importance of balanced nutrition to prevent stunting. In a socialization activity and cooking demonstration held in the courtyard of Uswatun Hasanah Mosque on Friday, August 30, 2024, the students managed to attract 50 housewives to participate.

With the theme “Balanced Nutrition for Healthy Families” this activity aims to increase public knowledge about the importance of balanced nutrition, especially in preventing stunting in children. The speakers, who are undergraduate nutrition students from UNISA Yogyakarta, interactively delivered material about the nutritional content needed by the body and how to process nutritious food.

“This activity is very useful for us, especially in choosing a nutritious and healthy daily food menu,” said Mrs. Iin, one of the participants.

In addition to socialization, the event was also enlivened with a dim sum cooking demonstration which was guided directly by S1 Nutrition students. Participants enthusiastically followed the steps of making dimsum that was practical and nutritious. As a form of appreciation, KKN students also distributed “Fill My Plate” stickers as a reminder of the importance of maintaining food balance.

Prevent Stunting, Starting from the Family

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem caused by long-term malnutrition. This condition can hinder the physical growth and brain development of children. Through this activity, UNISA Yogyakarta students hope to contribute to stunting prevention efforts in the community.

“We hope this activity can be the first step to increase public awareness of the importance of balanced nutrition. That way, we can jointly realize a healthy and smart young generation,” said Dewi, Chairperson of the Women’s Division of Uswatun Hasanah Mosque.

Productive Cooperation

The collaboration between UNISA Yogyakarta KKN students and the Uswatun Hasanah Mosque management went very well. This activity is clear evidence that universities can contribute directly to improving the quality of life of the community.
