Strengthening Students Emotional Regulation through Emotional Journaling Techniques at the Tahfidz Barokah Merapi Islamic Boarding School in Magelang
Adolescents living in Islamic boarding schools often face various academic demands, religious activities, and social adjustments that may trigger diverse emotional experiences. Therefore, emotional regulation becomes an important skill that needs to be developed among students to help them manage emotional experiences adaptively. This community service activity aimed to strengthen students’ emotional regulation through emotional journaling training. The activity was conducted at Pondok Pesantren Tahfidz Barokah Merapi, Magelang, involving 50 students as participants. A quantitative approach with a pre-test and post-test design was employed. Emotional regulation was measured using the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) before and after the intervention. Data were analysed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test to examine differences in emotional regulation scores before and after the activity. The results indicated an improvement in emotional regulation scores following the emotional journaling training. In addition, the distribution of emotional regulation categories showed an increase in the proportion of participants in the high category and a decrease in the low category. Statistical analysis also revealed a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores. These findings suggest that emotional journaling can serve as an effective reflective strategy to help students recognize, express, and manage their emotions more adaptively. This activity is expected to provide an alternative approach to support the psychological well-being of students in Islamic boarding school environments.

Hamlet Boundary Signs and Mapping Village Potential as an Effort to Improve Facilities in Pasauran Village, Serang Regency
Pasauran Village is one of the villages located in Cinangka District, Serang Regency, which has coastal regional potential with various resources such as tourism, fisheries, agriculture, plantations, and trade. However, there are still several limitations in supporting village facilities, including the absence of boundary signboards between hamlets and the lack of a village potential map that can serve as an information source for both the community and external parties. This community service activity aims to improve territorial order and provide information regarding village potential through the installation of hamlet boundary signboards and the development of a village potential map in Pasauran Village. The methods used in this activity include field surveys, coordination with village officials, the design of signboards and maps, and the installation of these facilities at designated locations. The results of the activity show that boundary signboards were successfully installed in the seven hamlets of Pasauran Village, making it easier for residents and road users to identify hamlet areas. In addition, the installed village potential map contains information on the locations of public facilities such as health facilities, educational institutions, places of worship, and the village’s economic potentials. The presence of these boundary signboards and the village potential map is expected to enhance administrative order within the village, facilitate access to information, and support more systematic village development planning.

The Correlation between Personal Hygiene Knowledge Levels and Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Culture among Fishermen
The fisheries sector represents one of the most hazardous occupational domains with substantial health risks; nevertheless, awareness regarding Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) culture, particularly concerning personal hygiene practices, is frequently marginalized among traditional fishermen. Inadequate implementation of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (CHLB) in maritime environments exacerbates fishermen's vulnerability to various occupational diseases, such as dermatological infections and gastrointestinal disorders. This community outreach initiative aims to fortify OHS culture among fishermen through comprehensive education on safe and healthy personal hygiene, alongside analyzing the correlation between knowledge acquisition and the manifestation of safety-oriented behaviors. Methodology encompassed a preparation phase, interactive socialization, self-hygiene simulations, and quantitative evaluation utilizing pre-test and post-test instruments. Evaluation metrics indicated that the majority of participants (80%, n=24) maintained consistently high levels of baseline knowledge, while the remaining 20% (n=6) demonstrated significant cognitive improvement following the intervention. These findings suggest that pedagogical interventions are instrumental in facilitating a paradigm shift, transitioning from a narrow perception of OHS as merely physical safety against maritime hazards to a broader recognition of hygiene as a critical individual health safeguard. In conclusion, reinforcing OHS culture through personal hygiene literacy successfully enhances the health literacy of maritime communities and establishes a framework for more hygienic operational patterns. It is recommended that the Bonto Mate’ne Village Government provide standardized sanitation infrastructure at landing sites to ensure the practical sustainability of CHLB. Furthermore, the development of community-based OHS cadres is essential for autonomous hygiene monitoring to mitigate occupational disease prevalence in coastal regions.

Health Education on the Risks of Risky Social Behaviors Among Adolescents in Tarusan Kamang
Adolescents are an age group vulnerable to risky behavior, including promiscuity, which impacts reproductive health. National data over the past five years shows an increase in cases of sexually transmitted infections, unwanted pregnancies, and mental health disorders among adolescents. The lack of comprehensive education and safe discussion spaces are the main factors that cause these behaviors. This community service activity aims to increase adolescent knowledge and awareness regarding the dangers of promiscuity in adolescents. The activity was carried out through health counseling to adolescents using interactive lectures, discussions, and educational media. Evaluation was carried out using pretest and posttest questionnaires to measure changes in participants' knowledge levels. The results of the activity showed an average increase of 22% in adolescents’ knowledge. Health education is effective in increasing adolescent knowledge and understanding regarding the dangers of promiscuity. Similar activities with varied themes need to be carried out routinely and continuously by coordinating with local health teams and integrating with school programs so that adolescents grow healthily.

Checking Blood Pressure and Cholesterol in the Community RT 01/ RW 09 Porisgaga Village, Tangerang City, Banten, Indonesia
The incidence of non-communicable diseases in Indonesian society, especially in big cities like Tangerang, is still relatively high. Non-communicable diseases such as hypertension and cholesterol, especially in adults over 18 years old, are high. Community service will be conducted in Tangerang City, especially in Porisgaga Village, where hypertension and cholesterol occur. Hypertension and cholesterol problems can be identified by first conducting an examination. Examination by health workers is one of the parameters to determine the normal limits of the disease. Cholesterol is often considered harmful because of its association with cardiovascular disease, even though it has a vital role in various biological functions. Therefore, an initial examination is needed to determine the disease suffered. This activity was carried out on 17 people by examining blood pressure and cholesterol. This community service found that 52.9% of people had high hypertension, and 23.5% had high cholesterol. There needs to be an effort to educate people and change their lifestyles to prevent more serious diseases in the future.

The Role of Integrated Health Service Post in Improving Family Health in Langensari Village
This article discusses the role of Posyandu in improving family health in Langensari Village through a literature study approach. Posyandu, as a form of community-based health service, has an important role in improving the health status of families, especially in rural areas. Activities carried out at Posyandu include monitoring the growth of toddlers, providing immunizations, maternal and child health services, and health education. Through these various programs, Posyandu contributes significantly to preventing and reducing maternal and child mortality, as well as preventing infectious diseases. Apart from that, Posyandu also functions as a means of education for the community in adopting a healthy lifestyle, such as exclusive breastfeeding, balanced nutrition and environmental cleanliness. However, the effectiveness of Posyandu in carrying out its functions is greatly influenced by active community participation, the quality of health workers, and the availability of adequate facilities and infrastructure. Thus, the success of Posyandu in improving family health really depends on the synergy between various parties, including the government, health workers and the community itself. This literature study highlights that the role of Posyandu in maintaining and improving family health in Langensari Village is very significant, but still requires more optimal support in order to provide maximum benefits for the village community.

Socialization of Pregnant Mother's Behavior on the Positive Culture Related toPregnancy in the Tambaksari Village
Pregnancy care is a period of high urgency in which pregnancy is a critical phase of the condition for both the mother and the fetus. Most of the causes of maternal death are due to direct obstetric deaths from complications during pregnancy, bleeding, eclampsia, infection and low thrombocyte syndrome (HELLP) in primipara.
