Mapping the psychological profiles of athletes at the Nusantara Petanque Club in Kediri as a basis for developing a mental training program
Moch Yunus1, Sapto Adi2, Abdian Asgi Sukmana3, Ulma Erdilanita41. State University of Malang , ID2. State University of Malang , ID3. Universitas Nusantara PGRI Kediri , ID4. Indonesia University of Education , ID2025-11-22|page 20-28AbstractThis community service activity was motivated by a problem faced by the Nusantara Petanque Club Kediri, namely the lack of comprehensive mapping of athletes' psychological profiles as a basis for developing mental training programs. This situation has led coaches to continue relying on general approaches that fail to address the psychological needs of individual athletes. This activity aims to map the psychological profiles of Petanque athletes, covering six main components, namely concentration, resilience, self-efficacy, mental toughness, anxiety, and decision-making, as a first step in strengthening the mental capacity of athletes. The community service was conducted on October 25, 2025, at the Nusantara Petanque Club Kediri training facility, involving 14 active athletes. The implementation method employed a survey-based community service approach, involving the stages of coordination, socialization, completion of standardized psychological instruments, and quantitative descriptive data analysis using frequency distribution. The results of the study indicate that mental toughness, self-efficacy, and resilience fall into the high category, while decision-making tends to be moderate, and concentration is relatively low. These findings confirm that Petanque athletes' mental preparedness is quite strong, but there is a need to improve their ability to focus and make decisions under pressure. This activity contributes to providing an empirical basis for coaches to develop more specific, measurable, and sustainable psychological training programs.

Department of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Sriwijaya , ID2026-06-13|page 1-11AbstractVarious creative approaches can be developed to reduce the generation of both organic and inorganic waste. On the other hand, office and school paper waste, as well as plant matter such as dry leaves, are still not being utilized optimally. Biopack is an innovative cardboard container made from a mixture of paper pulp and dry leaves. This product can be used as eco-friendly packaging because it easily degrades when disposed of in soil or water after use. School paper waste and dry leaves available in the Wanaasri Palembang area hold significant potential as raw materials for Biopack. Utilizing this potential is expected to increase public awareness, particularly among the PKK Rumah Cinta Dahlia Wanaasri and the teachers at PAUD Permata Bunda, as key drivers in promoting the innovation of waste management into economically valuable products that can support the establishment of community-based businesses or entrepreneurship. This community service activity was carried out through outreach and a biopack-making demonstration using lectures and hands-on simulations. The evaluation was conducted through a questionnaire to analyze the level of effectiveness and the potential for sustainability of the activity. Survey results from activity participants revealed that 93% were not yet able to recycle used paper and leaves, 63% still disposed of used paper and leaves in trash bins, and 93–100% of participants rated the activity as beneficial, noting that it broadened their knowledge and understanding of making biopack from used paper and leaves, and that they liked the biopack products and were able to use them at home. Furthermore, it is hoped that the Wanaasri community will be able to produce its own biopack, that it will be adopted by teachers at the Permata Bunda Early Childhood Education Center as a teaching aid in the learning process, and that it will eventually be commercialized.

Optimizing the psychological well-being of the elderly in Sempulur Village through psychoeducation based on self-reflection and social interaction
Nailah Rizkiyanti Salma1, Azka Fauziah2, Khoiril Anam3, Sugiarto Sugiarto41. State University of Semarang , ID2. State University of Semarang , ID3. State University of Semarang , ID4. Pemerintah Desa Sempulur, Sempulur, Kecamatan Karaggede, Kabupaten Boyolali, Provinsi Jawa Tengah , ID2026-05-23|page 68-75AbstractThe increasing elderly population demands serious attention to psychological well-being, particularly in communities with limited social support. Observations in Sempulur Village indicate that many elderly people live alone, have limited social activities, and receive minimal psychological stimulation. This community service program aims to improve the psychological well-being of elderly people through a psychoeducational program based on self-reflection and social interaction. The implementation method involves several stages: needs analysis, program design, activity implementation, and evaluation. The program is implemented through participatory group activities that include healthy elderly exercise, reflection on life experiences (reminiscence), and art therapy to stimulate aspects of self- acceptance, autonomy, and purpose in life. A total of 15 elderly people (1 man and 14 women) participated in a series of programs that were evaluated through a psychological well-being survey and participatory observation. Results showed increased social participation, active involvement in group activities, and increased self-expression and a sense of meaning in life. Furthermore, this program also had a positive impact by providing a forum for psychosocial activities that can be utilized sustainably by the village community. Thus, this program contributes to improving the psychological well-being of elderly people in a community-based manner.

FKM UNEJ , ID2026-10-18|page 36-42AbstractExclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of life is essential for supporting optimal infant growth and development and reducing the risk of infectious diseases. However, exclusive breastfeeding coverage in Indonesia remains below the national target. Limited knowledge and inadequate emotional support for breastfeeding mothers are among the factors that may hinder successful exclusive breastfeeding. This community engagement program aimed to improve breastfeeding knowledge and practices through the implementation of the emotional demonstration (Emo-Demo) method, an educational approach that integrates emotional engagement with interactive demonstrations. The program was conducted in Sumbersari Village, Jember Regency, Indonesia, and involved mothers of children under five years of age. Pre-test and post-test evaluations revealed an increase in participants' mean knowledge scores from 72.3 to 75.3. Additionally, participants demonstrated active engagement in discussions and educational games throughout the program. These findings suggest that the Emo-Demo method has the potential to serve as a health education approach for improving maternal knowledge and supporting exclusive breastfeeding practices within the community.

STIKES Katolik St.Vincentius a Paulo Surabaya , ID2026-06-13|page 12-18AbstractThe management of high-quality scientific journals continues to face numerous challenges. This community service activity aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a training program designed to improve participants’ understanding of DOAJ standards and national journal accreditation. This community service activity employed a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. In the initial phase, 16 participants took a pretest to assess their baseline knowledge; subsequently, they participated in a training session comprising material delivery and interactive discussions. After the activity concluded, a posttest was administered to measure the participants’ improved understanding. Data analysis to test the significance of differences before and after the training used the Wilcoxon test. Descriptive analysis results indicated an increase in the average score from 112.5 to 146.3 on the final knowledge test. Based on the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test, a Z-value of -3.237 was obtained (p = 0.001, p < 0.05), indicating that training on scientific journal management in accordance with DOAJ standards and national accreditation standards significantly improved participants’ understanding. Furthermore, the effect size indicated by the matched-rank biserial correlation of -0.950 suggests that the training’s impact falls into the very large category. The training not only enhanced participants’ knowledge of open access principles, policy transparency, and editorial governance but also standardized their understanding, resulting in a more consistent level of understanding among participants.

Nohan Arum Romadlona1, Septa Katmawanti2, Farah Paramita3, Suci Puspita Ratih4, Evada Mutiara Ramadhani5, Nadia Fauziyah Nashih61. State University of Malang , ID2. State University of Malang , ID3. State University of Malang , ID4. State University of Malang , ID5. State University of Malang , ID6. State University of Malang , ID2025-02-15|page 1-7AbstractThe number of Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia is very high. However, access to education for Indonesian citizens' families is not yet spread evenly and appropriately. Hundreds of Indonesian migrant workers' children attended school at Sanggar Bimbingan (SB). However, various problems arise, including the lack of healthy living behavior and low-nutrition food consumption. Community service activities were carried out at Pondok An Nahdloh in Tanjung Sepat, Selangor, Malaysia, by a team of lecturers from the Department of Public Health, Universitas Negeri Malang. The core material presented includes 1) Introduction to Adolescent Nutrition, 2) Adolescent Nutrition Problems, and 3) Healthy Body Image, which is interesting through video presentations and modules. The students also underwent height and weight measurements to measure body mass index (BMI). The service activity involved 33 junior high school students aged 13-16 years, including 18 male students (55%) and 15 female students (45%). Body weight measurements showed that 61% of students weighed under 60 kg. Furthermore, the student's height is generally less than 160 cm. Calculating nutritional status based on BMI shows that 64% of students have an abnormal weight, either underweight or overweight. The average knowledge score before training was 6.8 and increased to 8.4 after training. Meanwhile, the average attitude value before training was 30.4 and increased to 31.2 after training. This score increase shows that the training program effectively increases students' knowledge and attitudes toward balanced nutrition.

Building young athletes' basic technical skills through an overhead pass training program at the Satria Sejati volleyball club in Semarang
M. Dandy Aryadi1, Didik Cahyono21. Universitas PGRI Semarang , ID2. Mulawarman University , ID2025-11-21|page 13-19AbstractOverhead passing skills are a fundamental technique in volleyball that often poses a challenge for young athletes, including those at the Satria Sejati Volleyball Club in Semarang. Based on initial observations, most athletes struggle to control the direction of the ball, maintain the power of their push, and keep a stable hand position. This community service activity aims to enhance the overhead passing skills of young athletes by applying a practical and easy-to-implement wall passing training method. The activity was conducted over a period of two months, with training sessions held three times a week, involving 24 athletes aged 13–17 years. The implementation method employed an experimental approach with a pretest–posttest design, where data were analyzed descriptively by comparing mean differences. The results showed an increase in passing ability from an average of 35.75 to 39.41, with a difference of 3.66 points. This improvement reflects the effectiveness of wall training in improving ball control, pushing power, and bounce accuracy. This activity also had a positive impact on increasing athlete motivation, while strengthening coaches' capacity to continuously apply scientifically based training models in the club environment.

Yudhi Teguh Pambudi1, Topo Suhartoyo2, Abdul Malik Firdaus3, Mukhammad Miftakhul Farkhan41. Jenderal Soedirman University , ID2. Jenderal Soedirman University , ID3. Jenderal Soedirman University , ID4. Sekolah Menengah Pertama Negeri 1 Banyumas , ID2026-05-23|page 51-58AbstractThe high smartphone ownership among junior high school students in Banyumas Regency (99%) has not been matched by their use to support physical fitness. The majority of device use is limited to entertainment (games or social media), and smartphone ownership has not been fully leveraged for its functions or its role in supporting physical activity. This community service program aims to educate and train students and teachers in utilizing smartphone-based sports applications to support higher-quality physical activity. The activity was carried out in partnership with the Subject Teacher Working Group (MGMP) Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK) Junior High School (SMP) Sub Rayon 06 Banyumas, involving 16 teachers and 547 students. The implementation methods included socialization, training in the implementation of the Strava (performance monitoring) and IQAir AirVisual (environmental air quality monitoring) applications, and monitoring and evaluation. The activity results showed significant behavioral changes, with 99% of participants adopting the technology. This program successfully transformed smartphones from mere entertainment devices into health-tech tools, improved students' digital literacy, and created a safe, measurable, and data-driven sports culture in the school environment.

Kepala Desa Tlompakan, Kecamatan Tuntang, Kabupaten Semarang , ID5. Bidan Desa Tlompakan, Kecamatan Tuntang, Kabupaten Semarang , ID2026-05-23|page 59-67AbstractMental health issues among the elderly in Tlompakan Krajan Hamlet are often overlooked due to various changes, such as declining physical condition, reduced social roles, loss of a partner, and limited interaction with family. These conditions trigger feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and sadness that are often suppressed. The lack of sharing spaces and low mental health literacy put the elderly at risk of social isolation and a decline in overall quality of life. In response to these problems, KKN GIAT 15 UNNES, together with the Tlompakan Village Midwife, implemented the Senja Room program as a mental health education and support program for the elderly. The methods used were interactive lectures, discussions, and experience sharing, games for recognizing emotions and reflecting on gratitude, and relaxation practices using deep breathing and butterfly hug techniques. The results of the activity showed that the elderly were present and participated in all activities; participants began to dare to share their experiences in discussions; participants were able to understand and explain the importance of maintaining mental health; and most of the elderly appeared more relaxed after the relaxation session. This program helps seniors feel more valued, less alone, and motivated to stay socially and emotionally active. The Senja Room program is expected to be the first step toward building a community that cares more about seniors' psychological well-being.

Assessment of volleyball skills as part of the development of young athletes at the Bahana Muda Club
Mahesa Dwi Chandra1, Usamah Daffa Inzaghi21. State University of Malang , ID2. State University of Malang , ID2025-06-22|page 64-70AbstractPeriodic performance evaluation is the primary foundation for improving athlete performance, especially in sports that demand high technical abilities, such as volleyball. Data-based evaluation is an important instrument for objectively identifying the strengths and weaknesses of athletes, as well as the basis for formulating targeted training programs. This community service program aims to evaluate volleyball playing skills by measuring the technical skills of athletes at the Bahana Muda Club in Malang City. This activity involved 20 male athletes who had experience competing in the Provincial Sports Week (Porprov) event and was carried out with a participatory approach. Several skill tests include passing, service, and smash/spike tests. The measurement results showed that most athletes were in the moderate category (40%), followed by the deficient category (30%), and only one athlete occupied the excellent category. These findings indicate that performance gaps between athletes require more individualized and structured training interventions. In addition to producing preliminary data on athlete performance, this activity also benefits coaches' awareness of the importance of data-based evaluation in coaching. In conclusion, the performance assessment carried out in this service program provides an objective picture of the athlete's technical readiness. It can become the basis for preparing an adaptive and sustainable training program. Therefore, it is recommended that evaluative activities like this be carried out regularly to monitor progress and ensure the continuity of athlete performance improvement.

Department of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Sriwijaya , ID2026-06-13|page 19-27AbstractStunting remains a major nutritional challenge among Indonesian children and requires community-based interventions that promote healthy dietary practices. This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of members of the Rumah Cinta Dahlia Family Welfare Movement (PKK) in producing healthy gummies made from dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) and red spinach as an alternative nutritious snack to support stunting prevention among children. The program involved nutrition education, practical training in gummy production, and evaluation through pre- and post-tests. A total of 46 PKK members participated in the activity. During the training, participants learned how to use lemon and citric acid as preservatives. The resulting gummies were then evaluated for texture, taste, aroma, appearance, shelf life, and consumer preference. The gummy production process involved mixing dragon fruit juice, red spinach extract, gelatin, and preservative agents, followed by molding and refrigerated storage for 35 days. The results showed that the proportion of participants with high knowledge increased from 65% before the intervention to 100% after the training. Sensory evaluation indicated that gummies preserved with lemon were preferred by 70% of participants, while 30% preferred those preserved with citric acid. The findings indicate that lemon may serve as a suitable natural preservative with good consumer acceptance and storage stability. Overall, the program successfully improved participants’ knowledge and practical skills in preparing nutritious food products and demonstrated the potential of dragon fruit and red spinach gummies as an innovative snack to support household-level stunting prevention efforts.
