Abstract

Background: Gastritis is one of the most common digestive disorders, often caused by irregular eating patterns, consumption of irritating foods, and unhealthy lifestyles. Globally, it is estimated that more than 1.8 billion people suffer from gastritis, making it one of the most prevalent non-communicable digestive diseases. In Indonesia, the prevalence reaches 40.8% of the population, with 274,396 cases recorded nationally in health service systems. In the coastal areas along the riverside in Banjarmasin, the incidence of gastritis is also relatively high, influenced by socio-economic conditions and poor nutritional awareness. Purpose: This community service activity aimed to increase residents' knowledge of gastritis prevention through education on healthy eating habits. Method: The education was delivered using a participatory approach through interactive lectures, group discussions, and leaflet distribution to 50 participants. Results: Evaluation results showed a significant increase in participants’ knowledge scores, from an average pre-test score of 52.4 to a post-test score of 78.2 (p < 0.05). This health education proved effective due to its locally contextual approach, the support of community leaders, and the use of easily understood educational media. Discussion: These findings suggest that community-based health promotion strategies can serve as a sustainable preventive solution to reduce the incidence of gastritis. This activity also serves as a replicable model for other regions with similar characteristics to enhance community awareness of the importance of healthy eating and better lifestyle choices.
