Abstract

Introduction: The Covid-19 pandemic has had a comprehensive impact, one of which is the availability of food which has an impact on family food preparation and nutritional needs. Nutritional problems in adolescents arise due to inadequate nutritional intake, namely an imbalance between nutritional intake and recommended nutritional adequacy. Nutritional problems that can occur in adolescents are underweight, obesity, and anemia. This study was conducted to determine the description of balanced nutrition knowledge during the pandemic in grade XI & XII students of SMAN 4 Medan. Method: This study is descriptive with a cross-sectional research design. The instrument used in the study was a questionnaire. The questionnaire was made by the researcher himself which was taken from related theories or references. The measuring instrument used in this study was a questionnaire using a google form. Results This study found that the level of knowledge about balanced nutrition during the pandemic in grade XI and XII students of SMA Negeri 4 Medan was in the good category of 194 people (73.5%), the sufficient category of 65 people (24.63%), and the lacking category of 5 people (1.89%). Discussion: Students of grade XI and XII of SMA Negeri 4 Medan have good knowledge about balanced nutrition during the pandemic, this is because students have obtained related theories from lessons at school and students' activeness in exploring related knowledge from the internet. Conclusion: Students of SMA Negeri 4 Medan have good knowledge about balanced nutrition during the pandemic.

Abstract

Background. Dengue remains an endemic disease in almost all countries worldwide, including Indonesia. One approach to its prevention and control is community empowerment through education. Education is most impactful when aligned with the culture and local wisdom of the target community. Poda na lima is a form of local wisdom practiced by the Batak Angkola-Mandailing tribe in North Sumatra Province, Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the effect of poda na lima-based education on community knowledge regarding dengue prevention. Methods. Quasi-experiment with one group pretest-posttest. This study involved 68 respondents from the community in the working area of Puskesmas Sihepeng, Mandailing Natal Regency, through cluster random sampling with inclusion criteria in October – November 2024. Data were collected using questionnaires before and after the dengue education intervention with poda na lima and analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed rank test with the SPSS software. Result. Most of the respondents were in the age range of 19 – 45 years (80.9%), with a female gender (100%) and an education level of high school graduate (39.7%). There was an increase in the average knowledge before and after dengue education with the poda na lima, with statistically significant results (p<0.05) and an effect size > 0.5, meaning that the dengue education with the poda na lima has a large effect on the improve in knowledge. Conclusion. Dengue education with local wisdom poda na lima has a significant and large effect on improving community knowledge.

Abstract

The Indonesian Ministry of Health targets to eliminate malaria by 2030. Vivax malaria, a challenging variant to eradicate, is prevalent in areas near elimination, including North Sumatra, which ranks fourth in malaria cases in Indonesia. Labura district, a part of North Sumatra, had a low-endemic status until 2020. However, an increase in cases occurred in 2021 within the Kualuh Leidong subdistrict, the primary contributor to Labura's malaria cases. This shifted the endemicity status from low to moderate. The objective of the study is to assess the malaria case profile in this region. A descriptive approach was used, employing a total sampling method at Tanjung Leidong Health Center between September 2022 and July 2023. This observational study identified 494 vivax malaria cases. Predominantly affecting males (60.9%), cases peaked in adults (>18 years) with 314 cases (63.6%). Microscopic examination was the leading diagnostic tool, used in 463 cases (93.7%). The health center primarily administered national regimen therapies dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DHP) + primaquine in 204 cases (62.4%), whereas others received alternate therapies. All patients recovered without referrals. Over 11 months, seven recurrence cases emerged, with five receiving quinine+primaquine. Vivax malaria cases in Kualuh Leidong have seen a significant increase compared to previous years. The attention and collaboration of all parties, both from the health center and the community, are necessary to achieve malaria elimination by 2030.

Abstract

Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) remain among the most prevalent parasitic infections worldwide, particularly in developing countries. Persistent infections can lead to malnutrition, anemia, and impaired cognitive development. However, limited research has examined differences in hemoglobin concentration between children with single versus mixed STH infections. This study aims to compare the hemoglobin levels in school-age children at Al-Jam’iyatul Washliyah Orphanage, Medan, with single and mixed STH infections. A cross-sectional design was employed, involving elementary school children. Stool samples were analyzed using the Kato-Katz method to identify STH species and classify infection type, while hemoglobin levels were measured with a portable analyzer. Data were analyzed using independent t-tests, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. A total of 150 children participated, with an overall STH infection prevalence of 18.8%; of these, 76.9% had single infections and 23.1% had mixed infections. Mean hemoglobin concentration was significantly lower in children with mixed infections compared to those with single infections (XX ± SD g/dL vs XX ± SD g/dL, p < 0.05). Mixed STH infections were associated with greater reductions in hemoglobin levels than single infections. Targeted deworming and nutritional interventions are essential to reduce anemia risk among vulnerable child populations.
