PEMBERDAYAAN MASYARAKAT MELALUI EDUKASI KESEHATAN LINGKUNGAN DAN PELATIHAN PEMBUATAN INSEKTISIDA NABATI SERTA LILIN AROMATERAPI BERBASIS KULIT GALAM
Abstract
Abstrak: Gangguan lalat dan belum optimalnya pemanfaatan limbah kulit galam merupakan permasalahan kesehatan lingkungan yang dapat ditangani melalui pemanfaatan bahan lokal. Program pengabdian ini bertujuan meningkatkan pengetahuan masyarakat mengenai pengendalian lalat berbasis lingkungan serta keterampilan mengolah kulit galam menjadi insektisida nabati dan lilin aromaterapi. Kegiatan dilaksanakan bersama Kelompok Petani Galam di Kota Banjarbaru, Kalimantan Selatan, pada Juli 2026 melalui dua rangkaian kegiatan yang diikuti oleh 20 peserta. Metode kegiatan meliputi edukasi, demonstrasi sortasi dan maserasi, praktik formulasi sediaan semprot dan lilin aromaterapi, evaluasi pengetahuan melalui prates dan pascates yang masing-masing terdiri atas 10 soal yang mewakili materi kegiatan, serta survei kepuasan peserta. Pengetahuan peserta meningkat sebesar 6,25% pada kegiatan pertama dan 8,81% pada kegiatan kedua. Rerata kepuasan peserta masing-masing mencapai 4,75 dan 4,84 dari skala 5. Kegiatan menghasilkan prototipe berbasis ekstrak kulit galam dan minyak atsiri serta pengalaman praktis bagi peserta. Namun, aktivitas antilalat, stabilitas, dan keamanan prototipe masih memerlukan pengujian lebih lanjut.
Abstract: Fly nuisance and the underutilization of galam bark waste are environmental health concerns that can be addressed using locally available materials. This community engagement program aimed to improve community knowledge of environmentally based fly control and skills in processing galam bark into a botanical insecticide and aromatherapy candles. Conducted with the Galam Farmers Group in Banjarbaru, South Kalimantan, in July 2026, the program involved 20 participants in two activity sessions. The methods included education, sorting and maceration demonstrations, hands-on preparation of spray formulations and aromatherapy candles, pretests and posttests, each consisting of 10 questions representing the activity materials, and participant satisfaction surveys. Knowledge increased by 6.25% in the first session and 8.81% in the second, while mean satisfaction scores reached 4.75 and 4.84, respectively, on a five-point scale. The program produced prototypes based on galam bark extract and essential oils and provided practical experience. However, their anti-fly activity, stability, and safety require further testing.
