Background The stigma experienced by cancer patients stems from the association of cancer with death, as cancer is the most feared disease worldwide, especially among cancer patients and their families. The stigma regarding breast cancer screening behaviour has not been critically evaluated and is poorly understood; therefore, we aimed to analyse the stigmatization of breast cancer patients in Indonesia to reduce the morbidity and mortality of breast cancer. Methods A qualitative study using a focus group discussion (FGD) and in-depth interviews with thematic analysis was conducted. Results One informant experienced breast pain and kept the referral letter, in which the medical doctor advised medical treatment, to herself for 3 months due to her embarrassment. A traditional healing practice known as ‘kerokan’, which involves scraping of the skin, and consumption of a traditional drink were used by most informants to decrease their breast pain. Finally, most informants were diagnosed with an advanced stage of cancer when they returned to the health care facility. In addition, financial difficulties were noted as barriers to breast cancer screening in Indonesia. Conclusions Feelings of fear and shame when diagnosed with breast cancer were reported by the informants in this study. Alternative treatment known as ‘kerokan’ was the first treatment sought for breast cancer symptoms due to financial difficulties among breast cancer patients. Informants were diagnosed with an advanced stage of cancer after they returned to the health care facility. A better understanding of early breast cancer symptoms could motivate women to seek out breast cancer treatment.

Low birth weight babies (LBW) are newborns whose weight at birth is less than 2,500 grams. LBW does not only occur to premature babies, but also to full term infants who experience growth barriers during pregnancy. The impact of LBW itself is very serious for the quality of future generations. Long-term problems that might occur as a result of LBW include growth disorder, vision disorder (retinopathy), hearing disorder, chronic lung disease, increased morbidity, frequent congenital abnormalities, and frequent hospital admission. The purpose of this study was to analyze the differences in the effects of murotal (Al-Qur'an recital) stimulation on waking states and body weight in premature and LBW infants at PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital in Yogyakarta. The type of the research was quantitative with Pre-Test and Test Control Group Design. To enhance the research, the results of the impact / outcome of the care of premature and LBW infants in PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital Yogyakarta were described. The findings of this study revealed that murotal stimulation is able to improve the waking states of babies, reduce anxiety / stress in infants, increase body weight faster, reduce baby's hospital stay period, and reduce the expenses incurred by the family to care for the baby.

Secara biologis masa remaja merupakan masa transisi dari anak-anak menjadi orang dewasa. Pada masa peralihan tersebut, remaja masih mencari jati diri dan identitas yang sebenarnya termasuk para remaja yang tinggal di panti asuhan. Remaja di panti asuhan memerlukan perhatian ekstra karena mereka kehilangan sosok orang tua pada usia belia. Remaja yang gagal dalam membentuk jati diri akan terlibat dalam perilaku menyimpang termasuk kenakalan remaja. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilakukan sebagai upaya untuk memberikan edukasi pengetahuan dan pencegahan kenakalan remaja kepada remaja di Panti Asuhan Muhammadiyah Prambanan Yogyakarta. Metode yang digunakan adalah ceramah tatap muka dan diskusi pada tanggal 20-21 Oktober 2022. Langkah untuk mengukur pemahaman remaja terkait materi edukasi tentang kenakalan remaja dan cara pencegahannya, maka dilakukan pre-test dan pos-test untuk mengukur pemahaman mereka tentang kenakalan remaja dan cara pencegahannya. Hasil pengabdian masyarakat ini menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pemahaman mereka dalam pencegahan kenakalan remaja sebanyak 21%. Pemahaman kenakalan remaja penghuni panti asuhan menjadi sangat penting dikarenakan remaja merupakan salah satu usia rentan dan masa transisi yang mudah dipengaruhi oleh lingkungan dan teman sebaya. Sebagai salah satu bentuk keluarga baru yang belum mengenal satu sama lain, pemahaman kasih sayang dan perhatian antar penghuni panti perlu ditingkatkan untuk mencegah kenakalan remaja.
