Abstract

Kondisi kesehatan penduduk di suatu daerah pada waktu tertentu menggambarkan status kesehatan masyarakat. Lokasi program Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat Skim Dosen Mengabdi USU tahun 2019 berada dalam Zona Merah karena jaraknya yang berkisar sekitar 6 Km dari Gunung Sinabung. Mengutip data Kementerian Kesehatan RI, akibat erupsi Gunung Sinabung sejak tahun 2015 yang lalu menyebabkan penurunan status kesehatan di daerah terdampak bencana. Selain itu, kekurangan persediaan pangan yang disebabkan oleh bencana alam juga dapat menurunkan status gizi masyarakat. Sebagai solusinya, tim Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat melakukan pelayanan kesehatan pada anak usia sekolah dimana target kegiatan diutamakan untuk siswa yang duduk di kelas I hingga IV berjumlah 82 orang. Selama kegiatan berlangsung, tim melakukan pemeriksaan klinis sebagai gambaran manifestasi klinis kurang gizi melalui kegiatan penilaian status gizi secara klinis dengan melihat tanda dan gejala pada 12 sistem organ yakni rambut, wajah, mata, bibir, lidah, gigi, kelenjar, gusi, kulit, kuku, jaringan serta sistem tulang dan otot berdasarkan anamnesis, observasi, palpasi, perkusi, dan/atau auskultasi

Health status provides an overview of the health condition of the population at a particular time. The location of the 2019 USU Dedicated Lecturer Skim Community Service Program is in the Red Zone because the distance is around 6 Km from Mount Sinabung. The Indonesian Ministry of Health said that due to the eruption of Mount Sinabung since 2015, it caused a decline in health status in the affected areas. Besides, natural disasters will also cause a shortage of food supplies which can reduce the nutritional status of the community. As a solution, the Community Service team conducted health services for school-age children where students in the lower classes, namely class I through IV, amounting to 82 people, were targeted. During the activity, the team conducted a clinical examination as an illustration of the clinical manifestations of malnutrition carried out through history taking, observation, palpation, percussion, and or auscultation. This method is used to assess nutritional status clinically by looking at signs and symptoms in 12 organ systems namely hair, face, eyes, lips, tongue, teeth, glands, gums, skin, nails, tissues and bone, and muscle systems.
