Pelaksanaan pembelajaran pada masa pandemi COVID-19 saat ini diarahkan kepada pembelajaran jarak jauh guna mendukung upaya memutus rantai penularan virus COVID-19. TK ABA Ponggalan, Giwangan, Yogyakarta sebagai salah satu tempat pendidikan taman kanak-kanak juga melakukan modifikasi dalam sistem pembelajaran yang diterapkan. Keterbatasan dalam penerapan pembelajaran jarak jauh secara penuh mengharuskan adanya interaksi terbatas yang masih dilakukan oleh pihak guru dengan orang tua sehingga protokol kesehatan tetap perlu dipahami dan dilaksanakan. Kondisi pandemi dengan jumlah kasus yang masih tinggi di Indonesia menunjukkan bahwa belum semua pihak memahami mengenai protokol kesehatan yang benar. Program pengabdian ditujukan untuk mengetahui gambaran pemahaman para guru dan orang tua terhadap COVID-19 dan melakukan edukasi terkait COVID -19 melalui media buku. Hasil kuesioner kepada 4 guru dan 38 orang tua murid menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar responden (67,67%) memiliki pengetahuan yang cukup mengenai COVID-19, 16,67% memiliki pengetahuan yang baik, sedangkan 16,67% responden memiliki pengetahuan yang kurang. Aspek yang masih belum banyak dipahami adalah terkait gejala penyakit serta persyaratan handsanitizer. Buku pintar disusun sesuai dengan hasil analisis pengetahuan tentang COVID-19. Buku ini diharapkan mampu meningkatkan pemahaman para guru dan orang tua murid dalam rangka meningkatkan kewaspadaan para pihak selama berinteraksi di sekolah maupun di lingkungan rumah masing-masing.

GeMa CerMat is a movement launched in 2016, which is expected to achieve rational treatment in the wider community. To support this movement, the Indonesian Pharmacists Association launched DAGUSIBU (DA = dapatkan (Get), GU = gunakan (Use), SI = simpan (Store), and BU = buang (Dispose) of medicine) to educate the entire community to understand how to get good medicine, how to use medicine properly, how to store medicine properly and how to dispose of medicine properly. Based on observations to the head of Gampeng Pajangan Bantul hamlet, the community does not understand how to take medicine rationally for their relatives who take regular medicine and also do not understand how to manage the huge amount of medicine they get every month. Based on this evidence, the DAGUSIBU training was conducted to strengthen the understanding of rational drug use for the TP-PKK (Family Welfare Development Team) Gampeng hamlet, Triwidadi village, Pajangan Bantul. The TP-PKK in the hamlet consists of 25 health cadres and woman society village. At the end of the training session, the practice of destroying drugs was carried out. The results of the training showed a significant increase in understanding on DAGUSIBU after training. Evaluation was taken by giving pre-test and post-test according to DAGUSIBU. The DAGUSIBU guide book for Health cadres and the general public is given to TP-PKK at the end of the activity to help the community understand of DAGUSIBU and become a source of information on drug use.

Aisyiyah Busthanul Athfal Kindergarten (TK ABA) is a pre-primary educational institution established by the Muhammadiyah foundation, which is expected to create quality future generations in terms of formal, religious, and social education. In managing a kindergarten institution, a management system and adequate human resources are needed in terms of skills such as information technology (IT) skills. The purpose of the community service activities carried out is to introduce IT skills to the teachers of TK ABA Ponggalan, Giwangan. These community service activities were carried out by providing 4-meetings, computer training, and introduction to computer applications that are important in learning management at TK ABA. The results of data analysis showed that 83.33% of teachers had never received formal or non-formal IT training. The evaluation of community service activities shows that 100% of teachers are satisfied with the training provided. The aspect with the lowest level of satisfaction is related to the adequacy of the material provided in the training because it is still at the introductory level. Through the service activities carried out, it can be concluded that providing IT training for teachers of TK ABA is essential in supporting the management and learning at TK ABA Ponggalan, Giwangan. This, of course, can increase the trust of parents and the interest of prospective students in schools, which indirectly affects school income and welfare.

Clinical pharmacist in Indonesian hospitals has begun to be recognized as an essential part of the healthcare team along with physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals. While recognition is still on the way, the implementation of clinical pharmacy services is still limited. This could occur because of various factors, one of which is the lack of interprofessional collaboration. Interprofessional collaborations with other healthcare provider are necessary for a pharmacist to implement their clinical services. Hence, health professionals' perception of clinical pharmacy services would give a contribution to developing strategies for the service in the hospital. This study aims to determine perceptions of health professionals in a private hospital in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, on clinical pharmacy services. A total of 96 nurses and 17 physicians were given a questionnaire with items related to clinical pharmacy services. The result showed that health professionals had a positive perception of the role of the pharmacist in clinical pharmacy service with a total mean score of 0.83. Relationship between respondents' characteristic and their perceptions showed that nurses' workplace (ward) had a significant effect on their perceptions (p<0.05). In contrast, characteristics of age, gender, profession, length of work experience, and interaction intensity with the pharmacist did not reveal significant effect.
