Abstract

The increasing burden of non-communicable diseases among urban adults has strengthened the need for community-based health promotion within primary healthcare services. Posyandu cadres play an important role as community health educators; however, their capacity in adult health services and health education has not been systematically assessed. This community service program aimed to map the readiness capacity of posyandu cadres in health services, early detection, and health education for adult populations in urban primary healthcare settings. A participatory approach was implemented through health education, cadre skills assessment, and reflective mentoring. Assessment was conducted among 14 cadres using structured interviews based on competency checklists for adult and elderly posyandu services. Data were analyzed descriptively using percentages and readiness categories. Most cadres were categorized as moderately prepared (57.1%), while 35.7% still required competency strengthening. The highest competencies were identified in GERMAS health promotion, education on adult diseases, and obesity-hypertension screening. Lower competencies were found in questionnaire-based screening, mental health screening, family planning education, and elderly health screening. This program produced a cadre capacity map that can support primary healthcare centers in developing gradual, sustainable, and need-based cadre training and mentoring programs.
