Abstract
This community service program aimed to improve community knowledge, awareness, and participation in promoting healthy families and supporting optimal child growth and development by optimizing Posyandu services in Rumak Village, West Lombok. The main problems identified included limited community understanding of balanced nutrition and child growth monitoring, and the suboptimal capacity of Posyandu cadres to deliver health education. The program was implemented through preparation, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation stages. Activities included health education sessions, Posyandu cadre training, integrated health services such as weighing and anthropometric measurements, child growth and development screening, and family assistance through home visits. Evaluation was conducted using pre- and post-tests to assess improvements in community knowledge. The results demonstrated significant increases in community participation and Posyandu cadre capacity. Community attendance increased by 64.6%, from 48 to 79 participants. The average maternal and child health knowledge score improved from 56.4 to 84.7. In addition, community understanding of balanced nutrition, stunting prevention, and child growth monitoring improved considerably. The number of children under five participating in health examinations increased to 57 children, and several cases of undernutrition and developmental delays were successfully identified at an early stage. These findings indicate that community empowerment through Posyandu is an effective strategy for improving sustainable family and child health outcomes.
