Abstract

Indonesia, as a tropical country, has a high potential for the spread of infectious diseases, including conjunctivitis, or inflammation of the eye membranes. Densely populated residential environments such as Islamic boarding schools and boarding schools are vulnerable to the transmission of this disease due to intense interaction and suboptimal hygiene. Based on various studies, the prevalence of conjunctivitis is quite high among adolescents, especially in boarding-based educational environments. This condition not only disrupts comfort but also impacts the learning and worship processes of students. As a form of promotive and preventive efforts, a health education program themed "Healthy Eyes, Enthusiastic Learning: Recognize and Treat Eye Pain" was conducted at SMK IT Subulussalam Samarinda. This activity aimed to increase students' knowledge about the causes, transmission, and prevention of conjunctivitis, with the hope of encouraging behavioral changes towards a clean and healthy lifestyle. The education was conducted through interactive lectures, discussions, and question-and-answer methods. The results of the activity showed an increase in students' understanding of the importance of maintaining eye and environmental health. It is hoped that this activity can be a real contribution to the pharmacist profession in supporting the creation of a healthy and productive learning environment among adolescents.

Review

This abstract details a health education initiative focused on conjunctivitis prevention and management among students at SMK IT Subulussalam Samarinda. The program, aptly themed "Healthy Eyes, Enthusiastic Learning," addresses a highly relevant public health concern, particularly in tropical, densely populated environments like boarding schools where infectious diseases, including eye infections, are prevalent. The authors effectively highlight the potential disruption conjunctivitis poses to students' learning and worship, underscoring the importance of such promotive and preventive efforts. This project demonstrates a commendable commitment to improving community health within vulnerable adolescent populations, aligning well with the broader goals of public health and educational support. The program's design is straightforward and practical, aiming to enhance students' knowledge regarding the causes, transmission, and prevention of conjunctivitis. The chosen methodology, involving interactive lectures, discussions, and question-and-answer sessions, is appropriate for engaging a student audience and fostering an environment conducive to learning. The abstract reports a positive immediate outcome, indicating an increased understanding among students regarding eye and environmental health maintenance. This direct impact on knowledge acquisition is a significant step towards encouraging healthier behaviors, and the involvement of the pharmacist profession in this outreach is a valuable example of interprofessional contribution to community well-being. While the abstract clearly outlines the program's objectives and an encouraging initial outcome, it would benefit from further detail on the evaluation methodology. Specifically, the abstract lacks quantitative data or specific metrics used to assess the "increase in students' understanding," which would strengthen the reported findings. Future iterations or publications of this work would be enhanced by including pre- and post-intervention assessment scores, statistical analysis, and a discussion of the tools used to measure knowledge change. Furthermore, exploring the program's long-term impact on actual behavioral changes and disease incidence would provide more robust evidence of its effectiveness and inform scalability for similar interventions in other vulnerable educational settings.
