Abstract

Integrated Primary Care Post (Posyandu ILP) is a crucial pillar in national health transformation, yet its implementation in Giwangan Sub-district still faces challenges. Survey results indicate low understanding and skills among cadres regarding the 25 basic competencies of Posyandu ILP, with only four cadres meeting the minimum standard of "Kader Purwa". Recording of posyandu activities is still conducted manually, resulting in inefficiency and susceptibility to data errors, while transformation toward a web-based digital system has not been fully implemented. The objective of this community service is to enhance the capacity of health cadres in Giwangan Sub-district to manage and implement Posyandu ILP services effectively through structured training activities and the application of web-based information technology. The method employed is a participatory approach based on Participatory Action Research (PAR) with stages including preparation, socialization, implementation of Health Cadre School in five sessions, mentoring for technology application, and monitoring and evaluation through pre-test and post-test. The activity was attended by 31 health cadres from RW 1-13 of Giwangan Sub-district. Results demonstrate significant knowledge improvement across all service aspects, with the highest increases in Posyandu Management (17.2 points) and Services for School-Age Children and Adolescents (17.1 points). Knowledge improvement also occurred in services for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers (7.7 points), infants and toddlers (7.8 points), and productive age and elderly (12 points). This activity successfully enhanced cadres' capacity in managing Posyandu ILP, strengthened the role of cadres as the spearhead of promotive and preventive services, and supported the achievement of national health programs through a combination of educative lectures, demonstrations, role play, discussions, and information technology application.
