Abstract

The postpartum and neonatal periods are critical phases that require special attention because mothers and newborns are vulnerable to various health problems, including decreased body temperature, which may affect comfort and the recovery process. One practical approach to maintaining body warmth is the use of herbal-based roll-on preparations, which are easy to apply and have the potential to provide a warming effect. However, community knowledge, particularly among Family Welfare Empowerment (PKK) cadres, regarding the benefits, safety, and proper use of these herbal preparations remains limited. This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of PKK cadres in the development and utilization of herbal-based roll-on preparations as a supportive intervention for postpartum mothers and newborns. The program employed educational lectures, socialization sessions, demonstrations on the preparation and application of herbal roll-on products, interactive discussions, and evaluations using pre-test and post-test assessments. The activity involved 10 PKK cadres and was conducted in Naga Timbul Village, Tanjung Morawa District, Deli Serdang Regency. The training materials covered the benefits of herbal ingredients, simple formulation techniques, appropriate application methods, and safety considerations for postpartum mothers and infants. The results showed a 35% increase in the average knowledge score of PKK cadres after the intervention. Participants also demonstrated high enthusiasm throughout the training and were able to correctly prepare and apply the herbal roll-on products. In conclusion, the socialization program on the development and utilization of herbal-based roll-on preparations effectively enhanced the capacity of PKK cadres and supported promotive and preventive efforts in postpartum and neonatal care at the community level.
