Policy Brief: Strengthening Nurses’ OCB through Coworker Support, Satisfaction, and Culture at RSUD Batam
The purpose of this policy brief is to offer strategic suggestions for improving the Organisational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB) of nurses at RSUD Embung Fatimah Batam. This study's main goal is to investigate how coworker support affects OCB while taking job satisfaction and culture into account as mediating factors. 146 nurses participated in the study, which used structural equation modeling-partial least squares (SEM-PLS) as a quantitative method. The results show that OCB is greatly impacted by coworker support, both directly and indirectly through job satisfaction. Culture continues to be contextually relevant in creating a supportive work environment even when it does not exhibit a statistically significant effect. These results serve as the basis for hospital policy recommendations that aim to improve worker happiness, encourage extra-role behaviours that promote the quality of nursing services, and strengthen collegial work systems.

Empowering Teachers Through AI-Integrated Pronunciation Training with Google AI Studio: A Community Service Program at SMPN 1 Jongkat, Mempawah Regency
The integration of artificial intelligence in English language teaching faces implementation challenges despite documented benefits, particularly in resource-limited Indonesian contexts where teachers' digital competence significantly influences adoption. This community service program addressed these gaps through comprehensive technology integration training focused on Google AI Studio for pronunciation instruction at SMPN 1 Jongkat, Mempawah Regency. The program employed a participatory approach combining needs analysis, hands-on training, collaborative workshops, and systematic evaluation involving 19 teachers. Post-training surveys using 5-point Likert scales assessed confidence levels across multiple dimensions of AI-assisted pronunciation instruction. Results demonstrated consistently high confidence levels across most dimensions, with means ranging from 4.26 to 4.74, particularly in using AI-generated speech for listening input and designing speaking activities. However, teachers showed notably lower confidence in self-assessment applications, revealing hesitation in comparing their own pronunciation with AI-generated models. The majority of participants prioritized ease of material development as the primary advantage. Analysis through the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge framework indicated successful development of integrated technical and pedagogical competence, though limited articulation of specific implementation strategies suggests need for ongoing professional support. The training successfully established foundational confidence for AI integration while identifying areas requiring continued development to ensure sustainable implementation.

Educational Programme on Iron and Vitamin D Supplementation for Parents of Toddlers at Risk of Stunting
Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem in toddlers that affects physical growth, cognitive development, and long-term health. One of the risk factors for stunting is iron and vitamin D deficiency, both of which play important roles in children’s growth and development. Educating parents about iron and vitamin D supplementation serves as a promotive and preventive strategy to reduce the risk of stunting, particularly among at-risk toddlers. This community service activity aimed to analyze the effect of parental education on the use of iron and vitamin D supplements among toddlers at risk of stunting. A pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was employed. The participants were parents who received structured education on the benefits, dosage, and methods of administering iron and vitamin D supplements. The pretest results showed low knowledge in 22% of respondents, moderate in 22%, and high in 56%, while the posttest results indicated low knowledge in 5%, moderate in 10%, and high in 85%. Statistical analysis showed a significant increase in knowledge (p = 0.020), accompanied by improved practical understanding as observed from participants’ responses. This activity contributes to stunting prevention efforts by enhancing community-level micronutrient literacy.

Disaster Mitigation Management to Reduce Social, Economic, and Health Risks and to Strengthen Community Resilience in Sibalanga Village, North Tapanuli Regency, North Sumatera
Sibalanga Village in Adiankoting District, North Tapanuli Regency, was among the areas most severely affected by a series of floods and landslides in late November 2025, which damaged settlements, agricultural land, and basic infrastructure while disrupting local economic activities. Most residents rely on cocoa, petai, and durian as their main commodities; therefore, plantation damage and post-disaster distribution disruptions significantly reduced household income and increased socio-economic and health vulnerabilities. This community engagement program, conducted under the Program Mahasiswa Berdampak, aimed to implement community-based disaster mitigation to reduce social, economic, and health risks while strengthening community resilience. A participatory approach was employed through environmental clean-up activities, tree planting, production of solid organic fertilizer, children’s trauma healing, cocoa processing training under the “TapaRes Kakao (Tapanuli Cocoa Resilience)” initiative, and the provision of appropriate technology tools to local partners, including LDPH and the PKK of Sibalanga Village. The program improved community understanding of flood and landslide mitigation, encouraged small-scale cocoa processing initiatives, strengthened local institutional networks, and fostered social recovery and resilience after the disaster. These findings indicate that integrating disaster mitigation, environmental management, and cocoa-based agro-industry innovation can serve as a model for empowering disaster-prone rural communities while supporting the achievement of SDG 8 and SDG 12.

Community Empowerment through the Application of Technology to Increase Copra Production for Farmer Groups in Saweli Village, Taniwel, West Seram
West Seram Regency has a coconut plantation area of 8,326.10 hectares, with a total production of 7,390.5 tons and an average productivity of 0.89 tons per hectare. Nearly all parts of the coconut plant can be utilized, including the trunk, leaves, fruit, husk, and shell. The use of mature coconuts for copra production is one of the ways to increase the income of coastal communities, particularly in Saweli Village, located in West Seram Regency. However, copra production in Saweli Village, which is generally carried out using traditional or home-industry methods, has not yet reached optimal results in terms of production time and output quantity. One of the main challenges faced by the community is the lengthy process of removing the coconut husk and shell during copra production. The current pre-processing stage remains conventional, as coconuts are peeled manually using traditional tools. Therefore, through this Community Empowerment Program (PMS), we aim to introduce transformative learning to help develop and empower the local community, particularly in Saweli Village, Taniwel District, West Seram Regency, Maluku. This initiative focuses on supporting small-scale entrepreneurs whose production processes have not yet met market standards.
