Abstract
One of the community empowerment and involvement in improving health status in the community is the formation of health cadres. Health cadres are expected to be health informants in the community so that health information that is developed in the community is valid. This voluntary work aimed to educate health cadres about oral dental diseases and drug use in Srigading Village, Bantul, Yogyakarta. The voluntary work was carried out by providing education regarding oral dental disease and drug use through the method of Dapatkan, Gunakan, Simpan, dan Buang (Get, Use, Store, and Dispose). Pretests and posttests were conducted to evaluate the understanding of health cadres before and after the education. The assessment showed that the average pretest score was 58.8182, while the average posttest score was 91.0909. Based on the paired t-test, the increase was significant because the p-value was <0.05 (p = 0.000). At the end of the voluntary work, educational books and posters were distributed to 21 integrated service post groups from 20 hamlets in Srigading Village. The donated books and educational posters are expected to be a medium for learning and education by health cadres to the surrounding community
