Various factors that have not been able to involve village communities in the use of digital technology in public services are still difficult to obtain information, lack of literacy, and limitations in understanding digital literacy, especially in rural areas. This community service is carried out to increase digital literacy for the village community, especially about public services. The method of implementing this service uses Participation Action Research (PAR) in the form of socialization and mentoring. Three main conclusions were obtained from this community service activity, namely; First, the Kabuna Village Community, especially the community service target, has experienced an increase in digital literacy skills. This can be seen in the ability to access public services.</em> <em>Second, the people of Kabuna Village gain new knowledge and experience, especially those related to administrative mechanisms.

This activity aims to enhance livestock feed security and environmental cleanliness, with expected benefits including reduced feed costs, increased community income, reduction in organic waste volume, and improved awareness of sustainable waste management. The project employed an Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, encompassing asset mapping, appreciative inquiry, and capacity building. The implementation of maggot cultivation in Padukuhan Jambu showed positive results, with active participation of about 60 residents in the training program. Economic impacts were evident in the reduction of livestock feed costs and potential new income from maggot sales. Environmentally, there was a decrease in organic waste volume and improved sanitation. Social impacts included enhanced community cohesion and empowerment through the formation of maggot farming groups. This program successfully integrated solutions for livestock feed security and organic waste management while improving community welfare and self-reliance.</em></p> Fahmi Azrial, Ananda Pramudita, Widyanna Widyanna, Ibnu Nur Fauzi, Agustin Setyaning, Arsita Fitria Damayanti, Kikan Hasna Iftinan, Muhammad Akmal Rahman, Muhammad Arif Rakhman Azizi, Tiara Qur’rota Akyun Suroto Putri, Muhammad Yusuf, Nur Isra Copyright (c) 2025 Fahmi Azrial, Ananda Pramudita, Widyanna Widyanna, Ibnu Nur Fauzi, Agustin Setyaning, Arsita Fitria Damayanti, Kikan Hasna Iftinan, Muhammad Akmal Rahman, Muhammad Arif Rakhman Azizi, Tiara Qur’rota Akyun Suroto Putri, Muhammad Yusuf, Nur Isra https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ejurnal.methodist.ac.id/index.php/methabdi/article/view/3579 Fri, 27 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700 Skrining Pemeriksaan Hemoglobin untuk Deteksi Dini Anemia pada Remaja Putri di SMAN 4 Baubau https://ejurnal.methodist.ac.id/index.php/methabdi/article/view/3598 <p><em>Anemia is a condition in which hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit, or erythrocyte count falls below normal. Teenage girls are at high risk of developing anemia because they have menstrual periods that cause a loss of a lot of iron in the blood. Other factors that can affect anemia are poor nutritional habits and a lack of physical activity. An attempt to reduce the incidence of anemia is to consume foods rich in iron (greens, fruits, and meats) that can increase hemoglobin levels in the blood. This activity was carried out by examining hemoglobin levels in teenage daughters for early detection of anemia and giving an assessment related to anemia. As for the results of the hemoglobin examination in the schoolgirls, of the 35 participants, there were 24 people with a hemoglobin level of &lt;12 g/dL. With knowledge of anemia, a teenage princess is expected to be able to maintain her eating patterns, like choosing foods that are rich in iron.</em></p> Besse Dahlia, Rina Anwar, Juwitriani Alwi, Muh.

During the student orientation program (PKKMB), 300 students participated in a series of activities, including environmental education, fermentation practice, and harvesting of Eco Enzyme. The results demonstrated improvements in students’ knowledge and skills, with the expectation of long-term behavioral changes in managing waste at its source. The program successfully produced more than 300 liters of Eco Enzyme and significantly reduced organic waste disposal to landfills. More importantly, it cultivated environmentally conscious student leaders. Engaging first-year students in this real-world initiative serves as a strategic effort to instill sustainability values and foster a culture of environmental responsibility both within the campus and the broader community.</em></p> Lina Arliana, Yani Maulita, Ahmad Fauzi, Novriyenni Novriyenni, Anton Sihombing, Indah Ambarita, Magdalena Simanjuntak, Siswan Syahputra, Husnul Khair, I Gusti Pramana, Kristina Annatasia, Ratih Puspadini, Selfira Selfira, Melda Pita Uli Sitompul, Muammar Khadafi Copyright (c) 2025 Lina Arliana, Yani Maulita, Ahmad Fauzi, Novriyenni Novriyenni, Anton Sihombing, Indah Ambarita, Magdalena Simanjuntak, Siswan Syahputra, Husnul Khair, I Gusti Pramana, Kristina Annatasia, Ratih Puspadini, Selfira Selfira, Melda Pita Uli Sitompul, Muammar Khadafi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ejurnal.methodist.ac.id/index.php/methabdi/article/view/4325 Sat, 28 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700 Memahami Penerimaan Diri pada Pengidap HIV Melalui Talkshow https://ejurnal.methodist.ac.id/index.php/methabdi/article/view/3719 <p><em>The stigma and psychological burden experienced by people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) often hinder their self-acceptance process.

The program aimed to enhance students' confidence and grammatical competence through a modified GTM approach, integrating mentoring, contextual materials, and collaborative activities. Conducted at SMP YPWKS Cilegon with 38 seventh-grade students, the intervention included three stages: (1) communication and material development, (2) 2-week interactive sessions (pre-test, role-play, bilingual text analysis, post-test), and (3) mixed-method evaluation (statistical analysis, Likert-scale questionnaires). Results showed a significant increase in post-test scores (average +22.3 points, p=0.000), reduced grammatical errors (e.g., tense usage decreased by 43%), and high satisfaction rates (average 4.5/5), particularly regarding mentor support and contextual learning. The project demonstrates that adapting traditional methods with scaffolding and psychosocial support can bridge pedagogical gaps in low-resource settings. Recommendations include extending program duration, integrating digital tools, and expanding collaboration with stakeholders to sustain meaningful outcomes.</em></p> Novy Yuliyanti, Romadhon Romadhon Copyright (c) 2025 Novy Yuliyanti, Romadhon Romadhon https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ejurnal.methodist.ac.id/index.php/methabdi/article/view/4124 Sun, 29 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700 Literasi Penyusunan Laporan Keuangan UMKM (Usaha Mikro, Kecil Dan Menengah) Pada Desa di Kecamatan Girsang Sipangan Bolon Kabupaten Simalungun https://ejurnal.methodist.ac.id/index.php/methabdi/article/view/4430 <p><em>The</em> <em>Team</em> <em>in</em> <em>collaboration</em> <em>with</em> <em>Parapat Village,</em> <em>Kecamatan Girsang Sipangan Bolon Kabupaten Simalungun</em> <em>helps</em> <em>MSME</em> <em>actors</em> <em>in</em> <em>improving</em> <em>and</em> <em>developing</em> <em>their</em> <em>products</em> <em>through</em> <em>a</em> <em>accounting </em>&nbsp;<em>approach,</em> <em>recording</em> <em>transactions</em> <em>clearly,</em> <em>completely</em> <em>and</em> <em>correctly,</em> <em>so</em> <em>that</em> <em>in</em> <em>the</em> <em>end</em> <em>MSME</em> <em>actors</em> <em>can</em> <em>carry</em> <em>out</em> <em>their</em> <em>business</em> <em>activities.</em> <em>As</em> <em>a</em> <em>benefit</em> <em>of</em> <em>this</em> <em>assistance,</em> <em>in</em> <em>the</em> <em>form</em> <em>of</em> <em>cooperation</em> <em>carried</em> <em>out</em> <em>by</em> <em>two</em> <em>institutions,</em> <em>namely</em> <em>MSME</em> <em>actors</em> <em>will</em> <em>benefit</em> <em>from</em> <em>knowledge</em> <em>and</em> <em>skills</em> <em>to</em> <em>accounting</em> <em>and</em> <em>record</em> <em>transactions</em> <em>that</em> <em>are</em> <em>useful</em> <em>for</em> <em>decision</em> <em>making.</em> <em>For</em> <em>the</em> <em>Service</em> <em>Team,</em> <em>it</em> <em>will</em> <em>add</em> <em>relationships</em> <em>and</em> <em>understanding</em> <em>of</em> <em>community</em> <em>business</em> <em>activities.</em></p> Dimita Hemalli Premasari Purba, Duma Rahel Situmorang, Duma M.
