Review

The submitted abstract for "Edukasi Kesehatan Masyarakat Melalui Kegiatan Donor Darah Desa" outlines a highly relevant and impactful community service initiative focused on increasing awareness and involvement in blood donation. The stated purpose is clear and directly addresses a critical public health need, particularly in fostering a culture of altruism and civic engagement at the grassroots level. The application of the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) approach is commendable, as it ensures community ownership and active participation, which is vital for the sustainability and effectiveness of such programs. The collaboration with the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) further strengthens the credibility and operational capacity of the activity. The abstract effectively communicates the success of the activity, noting the community's enthusiasm for both the socialization event and the subsequent blood donation. The quantitative result of 30 villagers donating blood provides a concrete measure of immediate impact. While the inclusion of comprehensive blood donor requirements is valuable for public health education and transparency, its placement within the "results" section could be refined. Perhaps framing these details as part of the educational component provided during socialization, or as a reason for some participants being unable to donate, would better integrate them with the narrative of the activity's outcomes. Further context regarding the total number of attendees or the target number of donors would also enrich the understanding of the 30 donations. Overall, this community service report demonstrates a well-executed initiative with tangible positive outcomes. It successfully highlights the importance of localized health education efforts and the power of community engagement in addressing public health challenges. For future iterations or subsequent reports, it would be beneficial to discuss the potential for long-term impact, such as sustained awareness or recurring donation cycles, and how this initial activity might serve as a foundation for broader health initiatives in Ngemplak Village. The work is a valuable contribution to the literature on community-based health interventions and is highly recommended for publication, offering practical insights into effective community engagement strategies.
