Abstract

Stunting is still a major health issue that influences children’s physical growth and development in Indonesia. Insufficient maternal knowledge and inadequate support from community nurses are factors that may increase the risk of stunting among young children. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between maternal knowledge and community nurse support with stunting incidence in early childhood. A quantitative cross-sectional design was applied involving 42 respondents selected through simple random sampling. Data collection used questionnaires and anthropometric measurements of height-for-age. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test. The findings revealed that 38.1% of children were stunted, while 61.9% had normal growth status. Significant associations were identified between maternal knowledge and stunting occurrence, as well as between community nurse support and stunting incidence. Better maternal understanding and stronger nurse support were associated with lower stunting rates. Health education and community nursing services should therefore be strengthened to reduce stunting prevalence.

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is a major public health problem that often occurs without symptoms and may cause serious complications such as stroke, heart disease, and kidney failure. Low awareness of regular blood pressure monitoring contributes to delayed detection and treatment. Objective: This community service program aimed to improve public knowledge regarding hypertension, conduct early detection through blood pressure screening, and encourage healthy lifestyle practices. Method: The program used promotive, preventive, educational, and direct screening approaches among adults and older adults. Activities included registration, pre-test, blood pressure examination, health education, individual counseling, post-test, and program evaluation. Result: The program involved 65 participants consisting of 40 women and 25 men. Blood pressure examination showed that 43.1% had normal blood pressure, 30.8% were pre-hypertensive, and 26.1% had grade 1–2 hypertension. Participants demonstrated improved understanding of hypertension prevention and expressed willingness to adopt healthier lifestyles. Conclusion: Blood pressure screening and health counseling effectively improved early detection, knowledge, awareness, and healthy lifestyle behaviors related to hypertension prevention.
