Introduction: According to WHO data, it is estimated that more than 40 million people need palliative care every year. This includes patients with cancer, heart disease, lung disease, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. Palliative patient care often involves support from the family, and this condition can affect the patient's quality of life as well as the family's own well-being. Many families do not have sufficient knowledge about palliative care, including how to manage symptoms, provide daily care, or understand the patient's emotional needs

Objective: Participants in this activity totaled 45 people

Method: The method for this community service activity is continuous counseling

Result: Based on the training results, data showed that there was an increase in knowledge with the average increase in post-test results being 18.2 with the highest score on the post-test being 99.

Conclusion: The conclusion of community service regarding increasing family knowledge in palliative care has succeeded in increasing family understanding and skills in caring for family members who need palliative care. Families now better understand the concept of palliative care, including aspects such as pain management, symptom control, and emotional support. These activities also help reduce the stigma that may exist regarding palliative care and overcome the uncertainty that families often feel. Better knowledge allows families to feel more prepared and confident in carrying out care

Introduction: Fire emergencies in the workplace can threaten workers' safety, damage property, and disrupt business operations. Adequate knowledge and practical skills in using portable fire extinguishers are important components of workplace emergency preparedness.

Objective: This community service activity aimed to improve workers' knowledge and skills in fire prevention and emergency response through training and simulation of portable fire extinguisher (APAR) use at Company X.

Method: The activity involved 26 workers and was designed to include educational sessions, demonstrations, supervised practice, and evaluation. Knowledge assessment was planned using pre-test and post-test questionnaires, while practical skills were assessed using an observation checklist.

Results: The preliminary illustrative figures showed a mean knowledge score of 60.0 (SD 10.0) before training and 80.0 (SD 9.0) after training, representing a 20-point difference. The illustrative skills assessment indicated that 22 participants (84.6%) met the criteria for recognizing and inspecting APAR, while 18 participants (69.2%) met all critical checklist steps. These figures require verification against the original evaluation records and should not be interpreted as actual findings.

Conclusion: Fire safety training combining education, demonstration, and supervised practice is a relevant approach to workplace emergency preparedness. Actual pre-test, post-test, and skills-assessment data are required to establish the effectiveness of the activity.
