UPNVJ Public Relations – The Community Service Team (PKM) of the National Collaboration of the “Veteran” National Development University Jakarta (UPNVJ) together with the University of Lampung (Unila) and the Healthy Lampung Initiative (ILS) provided training on prevention and initial treatment of wounds and injuries to the community of Pasaran Island, Bandar Lampung, Friday (31/7/2026). The training, attended by 30 participants, aims to improve knowledge and first aid skills in dealing with the risk of work accidents in coastal communities and fishery product processing.
Pasaran Island is known as one of the centers for salted fish processing in Lampung Province. Production activities, which involve equipment, transporting raw materials, drying, and other physical labor, require an understanding of Occupational Safety and Health (K3) principles, including initial action in the event of an injury.
The National Collaborative PKM activity was led by Ns. Lina Berliana Togatorop, M.Kep. as the team leader. The team members consisted of Ns. Susiana Jansen, M.Kep., Sp.Kep.An.; Andy Sirada, SST, M.Fis.; Nanang Nasrulloh, STP, M.Si.; Dr. Lusyta Puri Arjani, M.Kes.; and Mona Oktarina, S.Ft., Ftr., M.Biomed.
In its implementation, the UPNVJ team collaborated with lecturers and researchers from the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Medicine at Unila. This activity was also supported by ILS, a community organization engaged in mentoring, training, advocacy, and health services for communities in Lampung Province.
The training took place at the Kalaju Meeting and Training Center on Pasaran Island. The event began with remarks from the local village government, ILS representative Dwi Setyorini, and representatives from the UPNVJ team.
The 30 participants, drawn from various community groups on Pasaran Island, received materials and practical training tailored to the health risks and accidents that can occur in everyday life and during fisheries processing.
Three UPNVJ speakers provided training in their areas of expertise. Dr. Lusyta Puri Arjani, M.Kes., presented on maternal and child health, while Ms. Lina Berliana Togatorop, M.Kep., provided training on wound care. Andy Sirada, SST, M.Fis., delivered on initial management of injuries and fractures.
Maternal and child health materials are provided to strengthen families' understanding of the importance of maintaining maternal health and child development. Meanwhile, wound care materials equip participants with knowledge of the initial steps for cleaning, protecting, and treating wounds before seeking further medical care.
In the injury and fracture management session, participants learned how to recognize the signs of injury, avoid actions that could worsen the victim's condition, and administer first aid safely. This knowledge is crucial because mishandling in the early stages can increase the risk of complications.
The training was conducted through presentations, demonstrations, hands-on practice, and discussions. This participatory approach provided participants with the opportunity to practice first aid skills and consult on various health and safety issues they frequently encounter.
The participants' enthusiasm was evident in the numerous questions asked throughout the session. The discussion covered not only the management of work-related wounds and injuries but also the necessary steps to take when healthcare facilities are not immediately accessible.
As a token of appreciation, the implementation team provided souvenirs to all participants. Special gifts were also given to participants who actively asked questions and participated in practical activities during the training.
Through this activity, the Pasaran Island community is expected to be able to perform first aid quickly, accurately, and safely before victims receive medical attention. Increasing community capacity is also expected to help reduce the risk of injuries worsening due to delays or errors in treatment.
The collaboration between UPNVJ, Unila, and ILS demonstrates the role of universities and community partners in providing directly applicable knowledge. This program focuses not only on delivering material but also on building community preparedness in creating a healthier and safer coastal work environment.
For UPNVJ, the National Collaborative Student Creativity Program (PKM) is part of the implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, oriented towards the real needs of the community. This collaboration across universities and community organizations also strengthens UPNVJ's commitment to producing community service programs that provide measurable benefits and support improvements in the health, safety, and welfare of coastal communities.
