Nursing services are a form of professional service which is an integral part of health services based on nursing knowledge and tips aimed at individuals, families, groups or communities, both healthy and sick. Several problems related to the implementation of the role of nurses are found in primary health services. The main phenomenon found was a mismatch in implementing the roles and functions of nurses in services at the Community Health Center. This community service activity aims to improve nursing services by strengthening aspects of autonomy, leadership, collaboration and work environment which are integrated into services in the Puskesmas building in a professional manner. The method used is pre and post tests related to the material, then continued with the delivery of the material. The result of this community service is an increase in knowledge before and after the activity. It is hoped that from this community service nurses can provide better nursing services.

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women in Indonesia and continues to show an increasing incidence rate each year. Breast Self-Examination (SADARI) is a simple yet effective early detection method to identify abnormalities in the breast. The low level of knowledge and awareness among women of reproductive age regarding the importance of SADARI contributes to delayed diagnosis. This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge of women of reproductive age, particularly Posyandu cadres, through health education on SADARI in Jayaraga Village, Tarogong Kidul Subdistrict, Garut. The counseling was conducted through presentations, interactive discussions, and the distribution of educational leaflets. Evaluation results showed an increase in participants’ understanding of the importance of early breast cancer detection through SADARI. Therefore, this initiative is expected to serve as a sustainable preventive effort to reduce breast cancer incidence in the community.

This Community Service Activity (PkM) aims to identify risk factors for diabetes mellitus (DM) as one of the comorbidities that exacerbate the condition of the elderly. The expected outcome of this activity is for residents to be aware of the risk factors for the disease and their own health conditions, particularly regarding DM. It is hoped that this activity will increase community awareness about DM management. The activity was attended by 50 residents of Jayaraga Village, Tarogong Kidul District, Garut Regency. The results of the activity revealed that 7 individuals (14%) confirmed having diabetes mellitus, 31 individuals (62%) had hypertension, and 12 individuals (24%) had gout. Therefore, through this community service initiative, we conducted a health screening program that included free blood pressure checks, uric acid tests, and blood sugar level measurements, as well as weight checks and health education, particularly on diabetes and its prevention methods. With the implementation of this community service initiative, we hope that the health-related issues in Jayaraga Village, Tarogong Kidul Sub-district, Garut Regency, can be addressed to some extent.
