Based on routine reports from the ISPA Sub-Directorate, the ISPA incident is 20.06% in Indonesia and the ISPA incident rate in West Sumatra according to the 2023 Indonesian Health Profile was found to be 29.9%. ISPA cases at the Lubuk Kilangan Health Center in 2024 were found to be 2,319 cases. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the level of maternal knowledge and the environment with the incidence of acute respiratory infections (ARI) in toddlers aged 1-5 years at the Lubuk Kilangan Health Center. This type of research is quantitative with a cross-sectional approach conducted at the Lubuk Kilangan Health Center on February 17-22, 2025. The population of this study was 368 with a sample of 79 using the accidental sampling technique. Data collection using questionnaires, analyzed univariately and bivariately using the Chi-Square test p < 0.05. The results of the Chi-Square test of the relationship between the level of knowledge and the incidence of ISPA in toddlers showed ρ-value = 0.000 < 0.05. More than half of toddlers live in a non-risk environment (95%), more than half of toddlers are exposed to cigarette smoke (91%). The conclusion is that there is a relationship between the level of maternal knowledge and the incidence of ISPA at the Lubuk Kilangan Community Health Center. It is expected that the health center can improve health education for mothers of infants as well as efforts to improve the environment in order to reduce the incidence of ARI in children aged 1–5 years.

Abstract

Waste management is an environmental issue that requires active community participation, including students as agents of change. One effective approach is the implementation of a Waste Bank, which not only reduces waste generation but also increases environmental awareness through the 3R practice. Good knowledge of waste management is believed to encourage more positive behavior, so this study aims to analyze the relationship between increased knowledge and waste management behavior among students majoring in Environmental Health at the Padang Ministry of Health Polytechnic. The study used a cross-sectional design with 140 students as samples through total sampling. Data were obtained using a questionnaire that was measured. knowledge before and after the educational intervention as well as waste management behavior. The analysis was performed univariately and bivariately using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that of the 78 students who experienced an increase in knowledge, 57 (73.1%) had good waste management behavior. Meanwhile, in the group of students whose knowledge level remained the same (62 students), only 35 people (56.5%) exhibited good behavior. This finding indicates that students who experienced an increase in knowledge tended to have better waste management behavior than those who did not experience any change in knowledge. The Chi-Square test showed a p-value of 0.040, which means there is a significant relationship between increased knowledge and waste management behavior. In conclusion, increased knowledge contributes positively to students' waste management behavior. It is recommended that educational institutions strengthen education and the practice of waste banks on an ongoing basis, as well as develop collaborative programs to raise environmental awareness.

Abstract

Language development in preschool children remains an important concern because delays due to suboptimal stimulation and parental communication interaction are still found. Inappropriate parenting styles may affect children’s ability to understand and express language according to their developmental stage. This study aimed to determine the relationship between parenting style and language development in preschool children aged 3–6 years in Surau Gadang Village, working area of Nanggalo Public Health Center, Padang. A quantitative cross sectional design was used. The population consisted of 671 children with a sample of 87 respondents selected using cluster random sampling. The instruments used were the Parenting Style Questionnaire and the Pre-Screening Developmental Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with Fisher’s Exact Test. Results showed that less than half (43.7%) of parents applied permissive parenting and more than half (54.0%) of children had age-appropriate language development. Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between parenting style and children’s language development (p-value = 0.037). This study confirms that parenting style plays an important role in preschool children’s language development. Health centers are recommended to improve education regarding parenting style and language development stimulation.Keywords: parenting style; language development; preschool children
