Abstract

Stunting is a global public health issue that affects physical growth, mental development, and the quality of human resources. In Indonesia, the prevalence of stunting decreased from 30.8% in 2018 to 19.8% in 2024, yet it remains an important concern. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics and maternal behavior with the incidence of stunting among children under five in the working area of UPT Puskesmas Rappang, Sidenreng Rappang Regency. This study used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design involving 96 mothers of toddlers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using the chi-square test with SPSS software. The results showed that maternal knowledge (p=0.018), family economic status (p=0.030), early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) (p=0.001), and parenting patterns (p=0.001) had significant relationships with stunting among children under five. Respondents with better knowledge, higher family economic status, supportive EIBF practices, and good parenting patterns tended to have a higher proportion of non-stunted children. Parenting patterns and EIBF showed stronger associations compared to other variables. It can be concluded that maternal knowledge, family economic status, early initiation of breastfeeding, and parenting patterns are significantly associated with stunting among children under five.

Abstract

The performance of healthcare workers is an important factor influencing the effectiveness of healthcare services at community health centers (Puskesmas) as primary healthcare facilities. Improving healthcare workers' performance is essential to enhance service quality and meet community expectations. This study aimed to analyze the effect of healthcare workers' performance on the effectiveness of healthcare services at Maiwa Public Health Center, Enrekang Regency. A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 98 respondents selected through accidental sampling from a population of 4,540 outpatient visitors. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed through univariate analysis and simple linear regression using SPSS. The results showed that 51.0% of respondents assessed healthcare workers' performance as good, while 53.1% rated healthcare service effectiveness as good. Simple linear regression analysis revealed that healthcare workers' performance had a positive and significant effect on healthcare service effectiveness (p<0.05), with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.659, indicating that 65.9% of the variation in healthcare service effectiveness was explained by healthcare workers' performance. It can be concluded that improving healthcare workers' performance plays an important role in enhancing healthcare service effectiveness at Maiwa Public Health Center. Therefore, continuous performance evaluation and capacity development are necessary to improve service quality.
