The development of inclusive and sustainable tourism villages relies not only on natural resources but also necessitates the readiness of human resources, particularly women, in decision-making and managerial governance. This Community Service (PkM) program aims to foster the independence of female partners in Lebih Village, Gianyar Regency, in managing an inclusive, communicative, and competitive tourism village. Specifically, the activities focus on enhancing tourism communication skills and optimizing digital marketing through narrative promotional tools. The implementation method applies the Participatory Action Learning System (PALS) approach, in which the partner groups are actively involved as subjects from the planning and implementation stages through to the final evaluation. Direct solution interventions were conducted through English tourism communication training, public service simulations, digital socialization, and mentoring in social media content management. The success of the program was systematically evaluated using the Kirkpatrick Model at the learning and behavioral levels. The results of the activities, conducted on May 14-15, 2026, indicated a substantial enhancement in practical capacity. Although the written cognitive evaluation showed relatively stagnant results—with an average pre-test score of 82.77 and a post-test score of 84.44—due to the brief duration of the implementation, the participants' psychomotor evaluation demonstrated highly positive behavioral changes. The women and youth groups exhibited immense enthusiasm in practicing excellent service communication skills and independently producing tourism promotional content. Furthermore, this program generated innovative outputs, including a tourism communication pocketbook, educational posters, and the initiation of a digital media management team. This community service program serves as an initial foundation for the independence of Lebih Village, yielding a broad impact on enhancing social, economic, and institutional productivity. The recommended follow-up action is the implementation of a long-term mentoring program.

Legal aid is a state instrument designed to guarantee the constitutional rights of every citizen to equal standing before the law. However, limited legal literacy has prevented many disadvantaged communities from understanding their entitlement to free legal assistance, thereby restricting access to justice. This community service program was specifically aimed at: (1) enhancing legal literacy among low-income residents in Talumopatu Village; (2) providing practical knowledge regarding the legal basis, eligibility criteria, and procedures for applying to accredited Legal Aid Institutions (LBH); (3) encouraging community members to seek consultation and resolve legal issues through formal mechanisms; and (4) strengthening the capacity of village officials and community leaders as legal information agents. The novelty of this program lies in the integration of the Participatory Learning and Action (PLA) approach with legal education, case-based learning, and direct consultation, combined with quantitative evaluation through pre-tests and post-tests. Unlike similar initiatives, this program focused on vulnerable groups in remote rural areas and emphasized not only knowledge acquisition but also behavioral change—particularly the increased confidence of participants to utilize legal aid services. The results demonstrated significant improvement in participants’ understanding of legal aid procedures and strengthened trust in legal aid institutions. This program contributes to expanding community access to justice and offers a replicable model of community-based legal empowerment in rural contexts..

INOVASI MEDIA SCRUMBLE BALL SEBAGAI UPAYA PENGUATAN REGULASI EMOSI DI LINGKUNGAN SEKOLAH DASAR

Putri Setyowati — 2026-09-30

The development of emotional regulation in elementary school students is a crucial aspect in supporting character development and social skills in the school environment. However, some students still tend to respond impulsively to emotions because they do not yet understand appropriate emotion management strategies. This study aims to describe the implementation and results of emotional regulation psychoeducation based on the educational game Scramble Ball in elementary school students. The study used a qualitative approach with a participatory design and descriptive methods. The subjects were 48 fourth to sixth grade students at SDN 1 Betek 1, selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through participant observation, student verbal responses, and activity documentation. Data were then analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that before the intervention, students were able to recognize basic emotions but did not yet understand emotion regulation strategies systematically. After the psychoeducation, combined with presentation media, educational videos, breathing exercises, and interactive games, there was an increase in participation, emotional awareness, and a shift in response patterns from reactive to more reflective. Students began to be able to articulate and practice simple steps in managing emotions, such as calming themselves and thinking before acting. These findings suggest that interactive game-based psychoeducation has the potential to enhance elementary school students' understanding of emotional regulation in a more concrete and applicable way.

Gastrointestinal disorders are common in the community and are frequently managed through self-medication. Limited knowledge in distinguishing minor gastrointestinal complaints from warning signs may lead to inappropriate medication use or delays in seeking professional medical care. This community service program aimed to improve public knowledge, particularly among members of the Family Welfare Movement (PKK), Integrated Health Post (Posbindu) cadres, and other community representatives, regarding gastrointestinal diseases, preventive measures, treatment options, herbal approaches, and the recognition of warning signs through the GUT SMART (Gut Understanding and Training for Society) program. The program was conducted at RPTRA Kedoya Utara, West Jakarta, involving 31 female community health cadres. The intervention consisted of interactive educational sessions, distribution of educational booklets, and the use of a color-coded screening card based on green, yellow, and red zones. Knowledge was assessed using a 15-item questionnaire administered before and after the educational intervention, while participant characteristics and gastrointestinal health-related factors were collected through a structured questionnaire. The mean knowledge score increased from 12.97 ± 1.11 before the intervention to 14.16 ± 0.78 after the intervention, with a mean improvement of 1.19 points. A total of 23 participants (74.2%) demonstrated improved scores, 6 participants (19.4%) showed no change, and 2 participants (6.5%) experienced a decrease in scores. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test revealed a statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test knowledge scores (p < 0.001). Furthermore, 21 participants (67.7%) reported a history of gastrointestinal disorders, 16 participants (51.6%) experienced gastrointestinal symptoms during 2025–2026, and 24 participants (77.4%) reported practicing self-medication. The GUT SMART program has the potential to improve gastrointestinal health literacy and support safer initial decision-making regarding gastrointestinal complaints. Long-term evaluation is recommended to assess knowledge retention and the implementation of the screening card in daily practice.

Women of reproductive age (WRA) are vulnerable to the double burden of malnutrition and non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which may affect reproductive health and future pregnancy outcomes. A baseline assessment of 46 WRA in Rusunawa Marunda showed a high proportion of overnutrition (73.9%), metabolic syndrome risk based on waist-hip ratio (76.1%), anemia (50.0%), and low adherence to iron-folic acid supplementation (91.3%). These findings formed the basis for the “Gizi Keliling” program, a community-based promotive and preventive health service aimed at improving nutrition literacy while conducting early detection of NCD risk factors. The activity was conducted twice, on 5 and 19 October 2025, comprising registration, brief interviews, anthropometric measurement, blood pressure, hemoglobin, blood glucose, cholesterol and uric acid checks, individual nutrition counseling, and group education. A total of 72 participants took part, 46 of whom were WRA who underwent more detailed assessment. Screening results showed that around 75% of participants were overweight or obese, while only 20.8% had normal nutritional status; 30.6% had elevated blood pressure and 19.4% had high cholesterol. The high level of community participation indicates a strong ongoing need for community-based health services. Individual nutrition counseling helped participants understand their health status and obtain recommendations for improving diet and lifestyle. The Gizi Keliling program proved effective in improving community access to early detection of NCD risk factors while strengthening nutrition literacy, particularly among WRA in urban marginalized communities.
