Abstract

Background: Stunting continues to pose a significant public health challenge in Indonesia, particularly in regions such as Pajangan, Bantul Regency. The condition stems not only from poverty but also from inadequate dietary practices and a lack of nutritional awareness. The Modified Diet Skim Milk Sugar Cotton Seed (Modisco) formula presents a viable alternative for stunted toddlers.   Objectives: This study aimed to assess the impact of Modisco, a high-calorie oral supplement, on improving the weight and height of stunted toddlers. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group design was conducted involving 20 stunted children aged 2 to 5 years, selected using purposive sampling. Participants were evenly divided into two groups an intervention group that received daily Modisco supplementation for 14 days, and a control group that did not receive any treatment. Results: The Modisco intervention produced significant improvements in both weight and height among stunted toddlers. The intervention group gained an average of 0.48 kg, while the control group showed no meaningful increase (p=0.004). Height improved by 1.84 cm in the intervention group, whereas the control group experienced a slight decline of 0.30 cm (p=0.001). Analyses within and between groups confirmed consistent, statistically significant changes following the 14-day supplementation. These findings indicate that Modisco effectively supports short-term nutritional recovery and promotes linear growth. Overall, the intervention demonstrated clear benefits in enhancing growth outcomes compared with the control group. Conclusions: These findings suggest that Modisco supplementation can effectively promote physical growth in stunted toddlers within a short timeframe. As such, it holds potential as a cost-effective and practical approach for stunting intervention programs at the community level.

Abstract

Background: Fever is a condition that occurs as a result of infection or inflammation caused by bacteria, viruses, other pathogens, as well as factors such as tumor necrosis and interferon. Based on the 2022 Health Profile of the Special Region of Yogyakarta, the prevalence of fever in Yogyakarta was recorded at 0.36%. One of the common problems associated with fever is an increase in body temperature. Non-pharmacological therapies, such as the application of compresses, can help reduce body temperature in children. Shallots contain various substances, including cycloalliin, phloroglucinol, quercetin, methionine, and kaempferol, which may have natural antipyretic and anti-inflammatory properties. Purpose: This study aimed to describe the application of shallot compress therapy to reduce fever in a preschool-aged child at the Pediatric Polyclinic of Wates Regional Hospital. Method: This study used a descriptive method with a case study approach to describe the application of shallot compress therapy in reducing body temperature in a child with fever. The intervention was administered three times, with each intervention lasting 15 minutes over a period of two days. Result: Following the application of shallot compress therapy for two days, with a frequency of three interventions lasting 15 minutes each, the child's body temperature decreased from 38.0°C to 36.9°C, with an average reduction of 0.7°C. Conclusion: The application of shallot compress therapy showed a reduction in body temperature in a preschool-aged child with fever and may be considered as a non-pharmacological nursing intervention to support fever management in children.
