Community empowerment is an effort to give empowerment or strengthening to the community to find new alternatives to be a better community. Serang Regency is one of the districts that is locus of stunting. The stunting rate in Serang Regency in 2019 is still quite high, 32%. The four districts in Serang are included in the ten districts which are the locus of stunting, namely Serang, Lebak, Pandegelang and Tangerang districts. The problem found in Baros village is that the growth of children under five is not optimal by the mother and there has never been any training on child growth. Based on this, the service team from the Faculty of Health Sciences at UPN Veteran Jakarta conducted community service in the form of health education on stunting and child growth training with the aim of fostering awareness, willingness, and the ability of mothers to prevent and protect children from stunting. The method of implementing this community service is carried out in several stages, namely: area potential survey, dialogue program activities through FGDs, health promotion, child growth training, and monitoring evaluation. 30 mothers were participating in health promotion and child growth training. The results of this activity obtained data that mothers who have good knowledge of 83.3% and sufficient knowledge of 26.7% and skills of mothers in the environment of child growth 46.7% have good skills and 53.3% of sufficient skills. Continuous efforts are needed to increase children's growth independently so that the incidence of stunting can be detected early. ABSTRAK:Pemberdayaan masyarakat adalah upaya memberikan daya (empowerment) atau penguatan (strengthening) kepada masyarakat untuk menemukan alternatif-alternatif baru dalam pembangunan masyarakat sehingga terwujud kehidupan masyarakat yang lebih baik. Kabupaten serang adalah salah satu kabupaten yang menjadi lokus stunting. Angka stunting di Kabupaten Serang pada tahun 2019 masih cukup tinggi yaitu 32%. Empat kabupaten di Serang masuk dalam sepuluh kabupaten di seluruh Indonesia yang menjadi lokus stunting yaitu kabupaten Serang, Lebak, Pandegelang dan Tangerang. Hasil observasi yang dilakukan diketahui bahwa permasalahan di desa Baros adalah belum optimalnya pemantauan pertumbuhan balita secara mandiri oleh ibu dan belum pernah dilakukan pelatihan pemantauan pertumbuhan anak. Berdasarkan hal tersebut maka tim pengabdi dari Fakultas Ilmu Kesehatan UPN Veteran Jakarta melakukan pengabdian kepada masyarakat berupa pendidikan kesehatan tentang stunting dan pelatihan pemantauan pertumbuhan anak dengan tujuan untuk menumbuhkan kesadaran, kemauan, dan kemampuan ibu dalam mengenali, mencegah dan melindungi anak dari penyakit stunting. Metode pelaksanaan pengabdian masyarakat ini dilakukan melalui beberapa tahap yaitu: Survei potensi wilayah, dialog program kegiatan melalui FGD, promosi kesehatan, pelatihan pemantauan pertumbuhan anak, dan monitoring evaluasi. Kegiatan promosi kesehatan dan pelatihan pemantauan pertumbuhan anak diikuti oleh 30 ibu balita. Hasil dari kegiatan ini diperoleh data bahwa ibu yang memiliki pengetahuan baik 83% dan pengetahuan cukup 27% dan keterampilan ibu dalam pemantauan pertumbuhan anak 47% berketerampilan baik dan 53% keterampilan cukup. Diperlukan upaya berkelanjutan berupa pendampingan ibu balita untuk tetap meningkatan keterampilan pemantauan pertumbuhan anak secara mandiri sehingga kejadian stunting dapat dideteksi secara dini.

Penentuan jenis media promosi kesehatan merupakan bagian penting dari upaya merubah perilaku kesehatan di rumah sakit, tidak terkecuali pengetahuan dan perilaku seluruh pengunjung rumah sakit untuk cuci tangan dengan benar, termasuk keluarga pasien. Tujuan: mengetahui perbedaan efektifitas media audio-visual dengan media leaflet terhadap perilaku cuci tangan keluarga pasien di rumah sakit. Metode: Penelitian berdesain quasi experimental dengan rancangan pre-test post-test with control group. Teknik sampling dengan consecutive sampling, besar sampel 122 keluarga pasien dibagi dalam dua kelompok, dengan memperlihatkan video tentang cuci tangan pada kelompok perlakuan dan kelompok kontrol membaca leaflet, masing-masing dengan durasi 30 menit. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah kuesioner pengetahuan dan lembar observasi perilaku cuci tangan.  Analisis data menggunakan uji Mann Whitney.  Hasil: Setelah dilakukan intervensi, terdapat peningkatan skor secara bermakna pada pengetahuan dan perilaku cuci tangan dibanding sebelum dilakukan intervensi, baik pada kelompok audio visual (AV) maupun kelompok leaflet (LF). Kedua media pendidikan kesehatan, baik AV maupun LF, efektif terhadap perubahan skor pengetahuan dan perilaku cuci tangan. Diskusi: Media audio visual lebih efektif sebagai media promosi kesehatan cuci tangan, dimana media audio visual meningkatkan pengetahuan melalui suara dan gambar yang ditampilkan pada layar monitor, sedangkan media leaflet dengan pendekatan narasi yang ditampilkan dalam bentuk tulisan dan gambar pada lembaran kertas terkesan membosankan dan kurang menarik.  Kesimpulan: Rumah sakit sebaiknya melakukan kajian tentang karakteristik pasien dan keluarganya untuk memberikan promosi kesehatan dengan media pendidikan kesehatan yang tepat untuk meningkatkan kualitas perilaku cuci tangan untuk menghindari penyebaran infeksi.Kata kunci: audio-visual, health promotion, keluarga pasien, leaflet, perilaku cuci tangan. Health Promotion Through ‘Audio Visual Vs Leaflet’: Investigation of Knowledge and Hand Washing Behavior of Patient’s FamilyABSTRACTDetermining the type of health promotion media is an essential part of efforts to change health behavior in hospitals, including knowledge and behavior of all hospital visitors to wash their hands properly, including patient's family. Objective: to reveal the difference between the effectiveness of audiovisual media and leaflet media on the handwashing behavior of patient's family in the hospital. Methods: This research employed a quasi-experimental design using a pretest-posttest design with a control group. Samples were taken using a consecutive sampling technique. The sample size of 122 patients' families was divided into two groups: the treatment group watched a video about handwashing in and the control group read leaflets, each given 30 minutes. The instruments used were a knowledge questionnaire and handwashing behavior observation sheets. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test. Results: After the intervention, there was a significant increase in the score on knowledge and handwashing behavior compared to before the intervention, both in the audiovisual (AV) and leaflet (LF) groups. Both health education media, both AV and LF, were effective in changing handwashing knowledge and behavior scores. Discussion: Audiovisual media is more effective as a media for promoting handwashing health because audiovisual media increases knowledge through sound and images displayed on the monitor screen, while leaflet media with a narrative approach displayed in the form of writing and pictures on sheets of paper seem boring and not interesting.   Conclusion: Hospitals should conduct studies on the characteristics of patients and their families to provide health promotion with appropriate health education media to improve handwashing behavior to avoid the spread of infection.Keywords: audiovisual, health promotion, patient's family, leaflet, handwashing behavior.

Health professionals must continuously address health promotion issues using the latest strategies and research. Currently in health care, too often an underdeveloped and under supported agenda prioritizes problems, issues, and solutions. Further, an ongoing competition exists among issues due to an undocumented agenda-setting process to gain the attention of media, public, and policy makers. Agendasetting is based on the belief that the media influence what we talk about, rather than controlling what we think, and how often an issue appears in the media influences the policy agenda (Dearing & Rogers, 1996). If an issue is “salient” and receives frequent or expansive coverage by media, audience members will talk more about that issue than one that is not as salient. A Health Promotion Agenda-Setting approach works to specify and prioritize problems and alternative solutions for increasing media exposure and setting agendas for “sustained” courses of action, (Kozel et al., 2003). The crucial link between agenda-setting and the process of establishing effective legislation, policy, and programs has been researched. However, many health practitioners do not understand what agenda setting is, nor how to apply agenda setting within the field of health education. Professional development in Health Promotion Agenda-Setting offers health education practitioners new knowledge, skills, methods, and opportunities to strengthen practices that influence the public health agenda and transform health promotion leadership.
