Abstract

Sepsis is still an important health problem in the world today. The incidence of sepsis can reach 750,000 cases per year. When mothers have a vital role in family health, their lack of knowledge and concern about sepsis remains an obstacle. Therefore, we need a program to promote and prevent sepsis among mothers in West Medan District as an effort to reduce the number of sepsis in Indonesia. Coaching, training, and counseling are given to PKK mothers and Posyandu cadres regarding the prevention of severe infections that can cause sepsis. This activity began by collecting basic data using the Sepsis Knowledge Scale questionnaire and then provided counseling and training on sepsis. Then, the final results were assessed with a behavioral questionnaire and sepsis knowledge questionnaire. The activity was attended by 29 people, 20 women (72.4%) and 9 men (27.6%). No significant changes were found in the level of knowledge and behavior before and after the activity (Z-score: 0.001; p = 1,000).

Abstract

Febrile seizures are common neurological disorders in pediatric patients and usually affect children between 6 months and five years, peaking in 14 to 18 months. Mothers have a vital role in ensuring their family’s well-being. However, they often cannot contribute significantly to febrile seizure prevention and treatment at home due to the lack of knowledge and awareness. Therefore, we need to provide a promotive and preventive program for febrile seizures to the mothers at Medan Barat District, Medan, Sumatera Utara. This activity aims to reduce the incidence of febrile seizures in Indonesia. We delivered the program in several stages, from basic data collection, lectures, febrile seizure prevention, early management at-home training, evaluation, and guidebook handover. Twenty-nine people attended this program, twenty women (72.4%) and nine men (27.6%). No significant change was found in the level of knowledge and behavior before and after the activity (Z-score: 0,001; p= 1,000).

Abstract

Cardiac arrest remains a prominent public health problem and cause of death globally. Despite there is no national data of Indonesia available currently, around 350,000 people in the United States and Canada experienced an arrest every year, and half of them were dead. The community knowledge and awareness about basic life support, particularly among mothers, is still low. Therefore, they cannot contribute effectively in providing first-aid to reduce the mortality. To improve this situation, we need an education and training program about basic life support for the PKK mothers and Posyandu cadres in West Medan to reduce the mortality rate of cardiac arrest in Indonesia. The activity was conducted in several stages, from basic data collection, lectures, basic life support practical training, evaluation and guidebooks handover. It was attended by 26 people, 15 women (57.7%) and 11 men (42.3%), with a mean age of 39 years old. No significant change was found in the level of knowledge and behavior before and after the activity (Z-score: 0,001; p= 1,000).
