Abstract

One of the health problems currently being faced by the government is worm infestation. This is caused by poor environmental sanitation in the community. The worm infestation socialization conducted in Central Java Village is one of Akfar Yarsi's contributions in helping the government reduce the incidence of worm infestation. Central Java Village is an area in Kubu Raya Regency where some residents still raise livestock under their homes, this is one of the factors causing worm infestation. The community service was carried out by providing material on worm infestation socialization to PKK mothers, then conducting a knowledge evaluation and providing worm infestation medication to be given to children in the Central Java Village area. Based on the evaluation conducted, there was a significant increase in knowledge among PKK mothers after receiving the socialization material (p<0.05). This is in accordance with the set output target of increasing mothers' knowledge about worm infestation. Mothers who have received the socialization are expected to be able to recognize the characteristics or symptoms experienced by children if they are affected by worms in the community.
