Improving Community Quality of Life, UNISA and `Aisyiyah’s Commitment

, ,

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.

“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.

UNISA Bersinergi Dengan MPM PP Muhammadiyah

Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Menjalin Sinergi Dengan Majelis Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Pimpinan Pusat Muhammadiyah

IMG-20170131-WA0010

Majelis Pemberdayaan Masyarajat (MPM) PP Muhammadiyah bersilaturahim ke Univeritas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta, Selasa (31/1/2017). Kunjungan ini diharapkan akan ada kerjasama antara MPM PP Muhammadiyah dan UNISA.

Rombongan MPM PP Muhammadiyah yang dipimpin Dr M Nurul Yamin diterima Ummu Hani, Wakil Dekan Fakultas Ilmu Kesehatan (FIKes) dan Sarwinanti Kepala Lembaga Penelitian dan Pengabdian Masyarakat (LPPM). Audiensi ini membahas beberapa program yang bisa dikerjasamakan di antara kedua lembaga ini.

Ummu Hani yang juga mewakili Rektor UNISA menyambut baik silaturahim pengurus MPM PP Muhammadiyah ke kampus UNISA. “ Di UNISA, kami juga memiliki program pembinaan kepada masyarakat, harapannya kerja sama nanti dapat bermanfaat bagi masyarakat” kata Ummu Hani.

Unisa akan melakukan tindak lanjut pertemuan hari ini termasuk mapping program. “Sebagai wujud kepedulian terhadap masyarakat yang terpinggirkan, InsyaAllah kami akan membantu dalam tindak lanjut berikutnya,” kata Ummu.

M Nurul Yamin, Ketua MPM PP Muhammadiyah mengatakan, dalam beberapa program yang terkait pemberdayaan masyarakat, MPM senantiasa menggandeng Ortom dan amal usaha Muhammadiyah untuk bersinergi bersama-sama. “Kami bersilaturrahim dengan pimpinan Univesitas ‘Aisyiyah, dalam rangka membangun sinergi amal usaha pendidikan khususnya perguruan tinggi dengan program-program pemberdayaan masyarakat,” kata Yamin.

MPM, kata Yamin, selain melakukakan aktivitas pemberdayaan yang sifatnya peningkatan pendapatan atau kapasitas kelompok, juga melakukan advokasi pada kepentingan-kepentingan kelompok. “Salah satu yang ingin kami diskusikan hari ini adalah advokasi bidang kesehatan, karena salah satu problem yang ada di kelompok adalah kesehatan” tandas Yamin.

Yamin memandang UNISA banyak menangani perempuan dan anak-anak sehingga bisa diajak untuk berkolabroasi. “Kami memandang ‘Aisyiyah konsen terhadap perempuan dan anak-anak, karena isu-isu kesehatan pada kelompok dampingan kebanyakan adalah perempuan dan anak-anak” katanya.
