Pengembangan Sistem Kesiapan Bencana Untuk Ibu Hamil Dan Bayi 0–6 Bulan Di Daerah Rawan Bencana Puskesmas Aek Parombunan

Abstract

Disaster-prone areas have a high risk of health problems among vulnerable groups, including pregnant women and infants aged 0–6 months. Disasters may disrupt access to health services, nutrition, infection prevention, and timely management of complications. This community service activity aimed to develop a disaster preparedness system for pregnant women and mothers with infants aged 0–6 months through health education, knowledge improvement, and strengthening of individual and family preparedness. The activity used health education, interactive discussion, mentoring, preparedness training, and introduction of a family-based disaster preparedness system. The participants were pregnant women and mothers with infants aged 0–6 months in a disaster-prone area, with 15 participants reported in the source. The activity was conducted at Puskesmas Aek Parombunan. Evaluation was carried out through observation of participation, direct questions and answers, participants’ ability to explain the material, and identification of readiness to prepare the needs of mothers and infants. The report states that participants demonstrated increased understanding, practical readiness, and active participation in discussions and preparedness training. Participants were able to identify basic needs, prepare a list of emergency-bag items, identify important health documents, and understand simple evacuation procedures. The activity therefore produced a family-based preparedness approach for pregnant women and infants aged 0–6 months in disaster-prone areas.
