The maternal mortality rate (MMR) in the world in 2017 is 216 per 100.00 live births and 99% of them are due to childbirth problems in Indonesia. One of the causes of maternal mortality in Indonesia is prolonged labor. The labor process requires optimal energy and stamina. One intake of energy/nutrition for childbirth is Date Palm juice, a mixture of 100 grams of dates with ± 200 cc of water blended using a blender. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of dates palm juice on the duration of the first stage of labor in Sele Be Solu Hospital in Sorong City.

Introduction: COVID-19 was a new SARS variance identified in 2019 and declared the cause of the global pandemic in March 2020. Nowadays, the case has experienced a fluctuating case phase, along with the mutation of the SARS Cov-19 variant that has not stopped yet. Confirmation cases and deaths occur in various ages, including in children. Although the data on COVID-19 case in children is low, efforts to prevent the transmission of Covid-19 in children is needed.Objective: This study aims to identify the effect of health education efforts to prevent Covid-19 transmission through 3M (wearing a mask, washing hands and physical distancing) habituation which was carried out using comic media with a cultural context.Method: This study uses pre-experimental research with one group pretest-posttest design. The study was conducted to see the effect of providing education using culture-based comic media (independent variable) on elementary school students' attitudes in 3M practice (dependent variable). The population in this study were all students aged 10-12 years at MI Al-Kautsar Sorong, a total of 45 children. In this study, the sampling technique used is total sampling. The data were analysed with the Wilcoxon test.Result: The mean score post-test was significantly higher than the pre-test (pre-test 70,67; post-test 74,71; p-value 0,01). The difference score pre-test and post-test in categorical scoring showed significant differences; in the post-test group, as much as 46,67% (21 children) scored is good. Students' characteristic related to the post-test scores is age (p-value 0,001); the older children, the higher score they got.Conclusion: Comics with cultural context media can be considered alternative health promotion media for children.

ABSTRAK Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) adalah penyakit menular yang disebabkan oleh virus jenis baru yang belum pernah teridentifikasi pada manusia. Kabupaten Sorong merupakan salah satu daerah zona merah Covid-19 di Provinsi Papua Barat. Salah satu risiko penularan Covid-19 adalah berada di kerumunan atau di area dengan kepadatan manusia yang tinggi seperti di panti asuhan. Tujuan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan tentang pencegahan penularan Covid-19 di Panti Asuhan dan memberikan bantuan sosial berupa sembako kepada penghuni Panti Asuhan sebagai masyarakat yang terdampak pandemi Covid-19. Metode yang digunakan berupa pemberian edukasi melalui penyuluhan dan pemberian bantuan sosial berupa sembako kepada penghuni Panti Asuhan Putra Putri Papua. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan bahwa terjadi peningkatan pengetahuan peserta tentang pencegahan covid-19, sebelum diberikan edukasi sebagian besar peserta memiliki tingkat pengetahuan cukup (51,5%) dan setelah diberikan edukasi sebagian besar peserta memiliki tingkat pengetahuan baik (66,7%). Disarankan agar promosi kesehatan terus dilakukan untuk mengoptimalkan pemutusan mata rantai penularan Covid-19. Dalam upaya promosi kesehatan diutamakan bagi kelompok-kelompok yang berisiko tinggi seperti tenaga kesehatan, lansia, dan Ibu hamil. Selain itu upaya promosi kesehatan juga sebaiknya dilakukan di tempat-tempat umum yang berisiko tinggi terjadi penularan seperti di pasar, sekolah, perkantoran, rumah tahanan, dan panti asuhan. Kata Kunci: Pencegahan Covid-19, Edukasi, Bantuan Sosial, Panti Asuhan ABSTRACT COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by a new type of virus that has never been identified in humans. Sorong Regency is one of covid-19  red zone areas in West Papua. One of the risks of contracting Covid-19 is being in an area with high human density such as an orphanage. The aim is to increase knowledge about prevention of covid-19 and provide social assistance to residents of the orphanage as a community affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The method used was in the form of education and provision of social assistance in the form of basic necessities to residents of the orphanage. The evaluation results showed that there was an increase in participants' knowledge about the prevention of Covid-19, before education most of the participants had a sufficient level of knowledge (51.5%) and after being given education most of the participants had a good level of knowledge (66.7%). It is recommended that health promotion will continue to be carried out to optimize the breaking of the Covid-19 transmission chain. Health promotion efforts prioritized for high-risk groups such as health workers, the elderly, and pregnant women. Health promotion efforts also be carried out in public places that are at high risk of transmission, such as markets, schools, offices, detention centers and orphanages. Keywords: Prevention of Covid-19, Education, Orphanage.

Cookies merupakan salah satu produk bakery yang populer di semua kalangan. Cookies pada umumnya terbuat dari tepung terigu yang merupakan komoditas import, olehnya itu untuk mengurangi ketergantungan penggunaan tepung terigu maka dapat disubtitusi dengan bahan lain seperti tepung sagu dan tepung kacang merah. Selain itu, dapat ditambahkan pula sari buah merah. Pemanfaatan tepung sagu, tepung kacang merah dan sari buah merah dalam pembuatan cookies diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kandungan gizi cookies dan mengangkat potensi pangan lokal. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk menganalisis daya terima dan kandungan gizi cookies tepung sagu kombinasi tepung kacang merah dengan penambahan sari buah merah. Desain penelitian adalah eksperimen murni dengan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL). Sampel adalah produk cookies dengan  4 variasi yaitu P0 (tanpa penambahan sari buah merah), P1 (penambahan sari buah merah sebanyak 5 g), P2 (penambahan sari buah merah sebanyak 10 g), P3 (penambahan sari buah merah sebanyak 15 g). Variabel independent adalah variasi penambahan sari buah merah pada cookies dan variabel dependent adalah daya terima (rasa, aroma, warna, dan tekstur) dan kandungan gizi (energi, protein, lemak, dan karbohodrat). Penelitian ini menggunakan panelis agak terlatih sebanyak 30 orang. Pengumpulan data menggunakan formulir uji hedonik. Analisis daya terima menggunakan uji ANOVA dan analisis kandungan gizi dengan perhitungan manual berdasarkan data dari TKPI (Tabel Komposisi Pangan Indonesia) dan DKBM (Daftar Komposisi Bahan Makanan). Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa daya terima cookies yang paling baik adalah pada sampel cookies P1. Penambahan sari buah merah tidak memberikan pengaruh terhadap rasa, aroma, warna, dan tekstur dari cookies. Kandungan energi, protein, lemak dan karbohidarat terbesar adalah pada cookies sampel P_3 dengan nilai 276.49 kkal, 4.41 gram, 6.07 gram, dan 50 gram. Semakin banyak penambahan sari buah merah maka semakin besar kandungan gizi dari cookies. Perlu adanya penelitian lanjutan tentang daya terima dan nilai gizi cookies tepung sagu kombinasi tepung kacang merah dengan formulasi yang berbeda dan dengan penambahan bahan pangan lokal yang lainnya.
