PEMBERDAYAAN MASYARAKAT DALAM PENCEGAHAN DAN PENGENDALIAN HIPERTENSI
Hypertension is one of the non-communicable diseases that has become a public health problem due to its continuously increasing prevalence and its risk of causing complications such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. Based on the results of a community health assessment in RW 15, Pebatuan Village, Kulim District, Pekanbaru City, hypertension was identified as one of the priority health problems that is still influenced by the community’s low level of knowledge regarding risk factors, prevention, and management of the disease. Therefore, a community empowerment activity was carried out using a promotive and preventive approach to increase public knowledge and awareness in preventing and controlling hypertension. The community service activity was conducted from April to May 2025 using health education methods, hypertension exercise, and blood pressure screening for the community. All activities were carried out using an Interprofessional Education (IPE) approach involving students from various health professions to improve the effectiveness of public health services. The results of the activity showed that the community had a high level of enthusiasm during the education sessions. They gained an understanding of hypertension risk factors, the importance of regular blood pressure checks, the implementation of a low-salt diet, increased physical activity, cessation of smoking habits, and adherence to treatment for people with hypertension. This community empowerment activity is expected to improve healthy living behaviors and encourage the community to actively participate in sustainable efforts for the prevention and control of hypertension.

Anemia during pregnancy is a fundamental public health issue due to its high risk to maternal and fetal safety. Interventions using Iron-Folic Acid tablets are often hindered by low compliance caused by side effects. This community engagement program aimed to improve the knowledge and practical skills of pregnant women and health cadres in utilizing local food resources from Riau—specifically the combination of sago and roselle calyx, which are rich in iron and vitamin C—into a healthy food product called "Guchiro" (Sago Roselle Mochi) as an alternative non-pharmacological anemia prevention strategy. The activities were carried out through interactive education, product-making demonstrations, hands-on workshops, and group mentoring. The evaluation results showed an increase in partners' understanding of local food-based nutritional interventions and the acquisition of practical skills among cadres to produce hygienic, highly nutritious supplementary food. This program is recommended for continuous implementation through integration with local health posts and community-based enterprises.

SEKS BEBAS DAN KEHAMILAN YANG TIDAK DIINGINKAN
During adolescence, individuals generally exhibit a strong curiosity about their surroundings. This encourages them to explore, seek new experiences, and try new things (Azinar, 2013). At this stage, adolescents generally exhibit a high level of curiosity, a passion for trying new things, and a tendency to make decisions without carefully considering the risks. Therefore, various problems can arise during adolescence, including those related to romantic relationships and premarital sexual behavior (Handayani & Ratnasari, 2023). Premarital sexual behavior involves physical contact with the opposite sex and can develop into an intimate relationship. Sexual behavior can be divided into risky and non-risky sexual behavior (Maya Icha Gayatri, 2020). Unintended pregnancy is one of the common consequences of premarital sexual relations among adolescent girls. This condition is generally related to puberty, a developmental phase that occurs during adolescence (Fauziah & Subiyatin, 2022). The purpose of this community service activity was to increase adolescent knowledge about promiscuity and unwanted pregnancy. It took place on January 12, 2026, in Classroom 1 of the Nursing Students of the Applied Nursing Undergraduate Program at the Riau Ministry of Health Polytechnic. The community service activity began with education about promiscuity and unwanted pregnancy, followed by a discussion and Q&A session.

MENINGKATKAN PENGETAHUAN DAN KETERAMPILAN IBU KADER DALAM MENGOLAH TEMPE SEBAGAI SUMBER NUTRISI BERKUALITAS
Tempe is a nutritious food that is easily digested by all age groups. The development of innovative food products provides many benefits, including increasing knowledge of protein consumption at a lower cost and with easier processing. Another benefit is enhancing the economy through the development of various tempebased snacks, as well as promoting dietary variety among different age groups. Tempe is made from fermented soybeans. The nutritional composition of tempe, including protein, fat, and carbohydrates, is higher than that of soybeans. The development of innovative food products has the potential to improve health, stimulate economic growth, and promote dietary diversity across age groups. However, many people, especially housewives and community health volunteers, do not fully understand the potential and benefits of tempe-based products in daily diets. Therefore, efforts are needed to provide education and training to empower them in processing tempe into a high-quality source of nutrition for families and communities. The expected outcomes of this community service activity include the creation of tempe-based product recipes and publication in a community service journal.

PENYULUHAN KONSUMSI DAUN MANGKOKAN (POLYSCIAS SCUTELLARIA) UNTUK MELANCARKAN ASI PADA IBU MENYUSUI
Background: Exclusive breastfeeding coverage in Indonesia remains suboptimal, reaching only 52.5% among infants aged <6 months (Riskesdas, 2021). One of the major contributing factors is hypogalactia or insufficient breast milk production. Traditional use of Polyscias scutellaria (mangkokan leaves) as a herbal galactagogue is common, although scientific evidence remains limited. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of health education combined with the consumption of P. scutellaria leaves in improving breastfeeding knowledge among postpartum mothers. Methods: A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest single-group design was applied. Nineteen breastfeeding mothers received structured breastfeeding counseling and consumed mangkokan leaf infusion for 28 days (3 g dried leaves, twice daily). Breastfeeding knowledge was assessed using a standardized questionnaire at pretest (T0) and posttest (T1). Results: The mean knowledge score increased significantly from 60 (pretest) to 95 (posttest), with a mean difference of +35 or a relative increase of 58.3%. This indicates that the intervention effectively improved maternal knowledge. Preclinical evidence supports the lactogenic potential of P. scutellaria, including increased prolactin and oxytocin levels and improved mammary gland histology in animal models. Conclusion: Health education combined with mangkokan leaf consumption significantly enhances breastfeeding knowledge among mothers. Further randomized controlled clinical trials are needed to confirm the efficacy and safety of P. scutellaria in directly increasing breast milk production.

Indragiri Hulu recorded the incidence of stunted children as many as 831 people, which is the 12th highest in all districts in Riau. The birth of a stunted baby can be prevented from the moment of conception in pregnancy. For this reason, the active role of prospective mothers or newly married couples is needed to prepare for their pregnancy well, ensuring adequate nutritional intake and optimal health care during pregnancy. A young mother is required to be able to ensure success in maintaining health during pregnancy, to be able to care for the pregnancy by consuming adequate nutritional food and to be free from other health problems. For this reason, efforts are needed to increase the knowledge of expectant mothers about stunting, nutrition for pregnant women and regular pregnancy checks. The target of this activity is newly married couples, the activity is carried out in 3 meetings. The result of this community service activity is an increase in the independence of newly married couples in efforts to prevent stunting.
