, ,

In an effort to improve the quality of life of the community and realize a healthy and sakinah family, the University of ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta through the Community Service Program (PKM) initiated a program to empower health cadres in the working area of the ‘Aisyiyah Sewu Galur Clinic. The program, named Gerakan ‘Aisyiyah Sehat (GRASS), aims to improve the knowledge and skills of cadres in providing health education to the community.

Improving Quality

PKM Chair, Dr. Warsiti, S.Kep., M.Kep., Sp.Mat, explained that the program focuses on several important health aspects, such as maternal and child health, nutrition and stunting, reproductive health, clean and healthy living behaviors, elderly health, and mental health.

“Through the GRASS program, we hope that cadres can become agents of change in the community, helping families realize a healthier and happier life,” said Warsiti.

Intensive Training for Cadres

Since July 2024, ‘Aisyiyah health cadres have participated in a series of intensive trainings designed by the service team from UNISA Yogyakarta. The training covers materials relevant to the needs of the community, such as how to provide effective counseling, address malnutrition, and maintain mental health.

“We use varied training methods, such as lectures, questions and answers, and role plays, so that the material can be delivered well and easily understood by the cadres,” said Dr. Yuli Isnaeni, one of the service team members.

Implementation in the Field

After the training, the cadres immediately applied the knowledge they had gained by providing health counseling to their community. The service team from UNISA Yogyakarta periodically conducts monitoring and evaluation to ensure the program is running well.

“We hope this program can have a significant impact on the community, especially in raising awareness of the importance of maintaining health,” added Andri Wuri Astuti, another member of the service team.

Collaboration with the Central Leadership of ‘Aisyiyah

The GRASS program is the result of a collaboration between UNISA Yogyakarta and the Central Leadership of ‘Aisyiyah. This shows the commitment of both institutions in improving the quality of community welfare, especially in the health sector.

Tilapia Farming With Microbubble Technology

, , ,

Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta has once again demonstrated its commitment to improving the welfare of the community through community service programs. This time, the UNISA community service team managed to get a grant from DRTPM Directorate General of Diktiristek Kemendikristek RI to develop the INTAN PRIBUMI program: Intensification of Tilapia Fish Cultivation through the Application of Micro Bubble Technology, Sunday (22/09).

This program targets the Mina Sejahtera group of fish farmers who face challenges in increasing aquaculture productivity. Through training and application of microbubble technology, it is expected to improve the quality and quantity of tilapia production, resulting in an increase in farmers’ income.

Microbubble Technology: An Innovative Solution for Fish Farming

The microbubble technology applied in this program has several advantages, including:

  • Increase oxygen levels: Microbubble can increase dissolved oxygen levels in water, so that fish can grow more optimally.
  • Energy efficiency: The use of electrical energy is much lower compared to conventional aeration systems.
  • Improves water quality: Microbubble helps keep water quality stable, minimizing the risk of disease in fish.

Training and Mentoring Support Program Success

The INTAN PRIBUMI team has conducted intensive training for Pokdakan Mina Sejahtera members. The training covered various aspects, from intensive tilapia farming techniques, water quality monitoring, to product marketing. In addition, the program is also equipped with a digital branding workshop to help farmers market their products more widely.

“We are very enthusiastic about this program. The microbubble technology and training provided are very useful for us. We are sure that with the application of this technology, our tilapia production will increase significantly,” said Muhammad Kosim, Secretary of Pokdakan Mina Sejahtera.

As a university committed to community development, UNISA Yogyakarta continues to strive to produce innovations and solutions that can benefit the wider community. The INTAN PRIBUMI program is one of the concrete examples of UNISA Yogyakarta’s efforts in implementing the Tri Dharma of Higher Education. With the success of this program, it is expected to inspire other educational institutions to participate in community development through community service activities.

Improving Student Potential, UNISA Establishes Self Recognition Unit

, ,

In an effort to develop students’ potential, Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta through the Psychology and Nursing Study Programs initiated an innovative program: Establishment of Self Recognition Unit (UKD). This program was implemented through community service at SMK Muhammadiyah 3 Wates.

Student Potential

Adolescence is a crucial phase in self-development. Unfortunately, many teenagers still have difficulty recognizing their potential and life goals. Recognizing this, UNISA seeks to provide solutions through the UKD program.

“This program aims to help students get to know themselves better, including their potential, interests, and talents,” said Zahro Varisna Rohmadani, S.Psi, M.Psi, Psychologist, Head of Community Service at UNISA Yogyakarta.

In the UKD program, students participate in various activities, from interest and talent assessment to motivational training. “We also provide education about the importance of maintaining mental health and the dangers of drug abuse,” added Zahro.

One activity that attracted attention was batik training with ecoprint technique. Apart from practicing creativity, this activity also teaches students to respect the environment.

The results of the UKD program are very encouraging. Dwi Sri Handayani, S.Kep., Ns., M.Kep., Nursing Lecturer at UNISA said, “After participating in this program, students’ knowledge about mental health and the dangers of drugs increased significantly.”

Principal of SMK Muhammadiyah 3 Wates, Endro Haryadi, S.T., M.Pdi, highly appreciated this program. “We hope this program can continue and provide wider potential benefits for our students,” he said.

“Marning” Mattress Innovation: Yogyakarta’s Elderly Healthier

, ,

PKM Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta has once again provided innovations to improve the quality of life of the community. This time, UNISA Yogyakarta’s community service team focused on elderly health by introducing “Marning”, a special mattress for proning position. The proning position, which is lying face down, is known to effectively reduce shortness of breath, especially in patients with respiratory disorders.

Innovation

The proning position does provide significant benefits, but it is often uncomfortable and difficult for patients, especially the elderly. Seeing this, the Unisa lecturer team consisting of Luluk Rosida S.ST., M.KM, Eny Fitriadi S.ST M.Kes, and Andry Ariyanto M.Fis, developed the “Marning” mattress which is ergonomically designed and easy to use.

“This ‘Marning’ mat is not only comfortable, but also safe and affordable. In addition, patients can do it independently at home,” said Luluk, one of the researchers.

The PKM UNISA team also collaborated with the IT team to develop an oxygen saturation checking tool that is integrated with a mobile-based application. That way, patients and health workers can monitor oxygen levels regularly and more easily.

“This innovation is expected to provide convenience for the elderly in managing their respiratory conditions,” added Danur Wijayanto M.Cs., a member of the IT team.

The application of the “Marning” mattress innovation at Posyandu Lansia Griya `Aisyiyah Baiturahmah Patangpuluhan Yogyakarta was welcomed enthusiastically by the elderly. They feel more comfortable and confident in doing proning positions.

“I feel more relieved after trying this mattress. My shortness of breath is reduced,” said one of the elderly participants.
The research and development of the “Marning” mattress received full support from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology (Kemdikbudristek) through funding in 2024. This shows that the government strongly supports innovation efforts that have a direct impact on society.
