Abstract

Digital transformation in health services faces significant challenges, particularly the gap between rapid technological advancements and the readiness of institutional work culture. This study investigates the cultural lag experienced during the implementation of digital systems at the East Nunukan Health Center. Using an observational qualitative approach, it examines health workers' responses to digital applications such as e-Puskesmas and various Health Information Systems. The findings reveal substantial resistance to change, attributed to factors like limited digital literacy, inadequate infrastructure, and the persistence of traditional work patterns. Despite the introduction of digital systems, healthcare practices remain largely dependent on manual methods, highlighting the disconnect between technological progress and the socio-cultural preparedness of healthcare organizations. The study concludes that this cultural lag within healthcare institutions can significantly impede the effectiveness of digital transformation efforts. To address these issues, the research advocates for ongoing training, improvement of supporting facilities, and the adoption of strategies that align with local work culture. This research provides valuable insights into the socio-cultural dynamics affecting the digitization of public services, especially in border regions with limited technological access.

Abstract

Coastal areas often face serious challenges related to environmental pollution, one of which comes from poorly managed plastic bottles used as seaweed floats. This waste not only pollutes the waters but also negatively impacts the marine ecosystem and the health of the surrounding community. This community service activity aims to increase knowledge and awareness of coastal communities, particularly housewives and elementary school students, regarding the impacts of plastic waste and the importance of environmentally friendly waste management. The outreach program was conducted over six days in Nunukan Timur Village, Nunukan Regency, targeting three integrated health posts (Posyandu) and three elementary schools. The methods used included interactive lectures, group discussions, waste sorting simulations, and the use of visual media such as posters and educational videos. The results of the activity demonstrated high participant enthusiasm, as evidenced by active participation during the outreach and discussion sessions. However, it was also found that most residents were aware of the dangers of littering but did not yet have adequate alternatives for managing plastic waste. Limited waste management facilities were a major obstacle. Nevertheless, this activity succeeded in building participant motivation to care more about the surrounding environment and begin implementing simple practices such as sorting household waste and reducing the use of single-use plastics. Thus, community-based education has proven to be an effective strategy for building environmental awareness and encouraging behavioral change. However, the sustainability of such programs requires the provision of infrastructure and local government policies that support sustainable environmental management.
