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.

The Health Assembly of ‘Aisyiyah Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY) is taking significant steps in addressing the increasingly debilitating mental health problem. In the face of data from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey that shows DIY has the highest prevalence of mental disorders, ‘Aisyyah initiated an innovative program called Ranting Siaga Sehat Jiwa, Thursday (03/10).

Ranting

The program was launched to coincide with World Mental Health Day, as a form of ‘Aisyyah’s commitment to increasing awareness and access to mental health services for the community. The Chairperson of the Health Assembly, Dr. dr Istianah, M.Sc, expressed her hope that this program can be a real solution in overcoming the increasingly complex problem of mental disorders.

Early Detection Training is Key

In an effort to strengthen this program, the ‘Aisyyah Health Assembly has organized training on early detection of mental disorders for Health Assembly administrators from all districts in Yogyakarta. The training was led by Dr. Ns. Mamnuah, Sp. Kep.J, Deputy Chairperson of the Health Assembly and lecturer in Mental Nursing at the University of `Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta, aimed to equip administrators with the knowledge and skills to identify early symptoms of mental illness.

“By recognizing the signs of mental disorders early on, we can provide appropriate interventions and prevent the condition from getting worse,” said Mamnuah.

The training also urged the importance of removing negative stigma towards health issues, so that people are more open to seeking help.

Collaboration is the key to success

Collaboration between the various levels of the ‘Aisyyah organization, from regions to wards, is key to the success of this program. By involving all levels of society, it is hoped that efforts to prevent and treat mental disorders can be more effective. “We hope that Ranting Siaga Sehat Jiwa can become a model for other regions in overcoming mental health problems,” Istianah added.
