Abstract

ntroduction: Stunting remains a major public health concern, particularly during the first 1,000 days of life, when adequate maternal healthcare and infant feeding practices are critical for optimal growth. This study examined the associations of antenatal care (ANC), exclusive breastfeeding, and complementary feeding practices with stunting among children under two years of age in Atsj District, Asmat Regency, South Papua, Indonesia. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted among 43 mothers with children aged 0–24 months in the working area of Atsj Public Health Center. All eligible participants were recruited using total sampling. Data on ANC, exclusive breastfeeding, and complementary feeding were collected using questionnaires and observation sheets. Stunting status was assessed using anthropometric measurements. Data were analyzed descriptively and using Chi-square or Fisher’s exact tests, as appropriate, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Crude odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were derived from the reported 2×2 contingency tables. Results: Fifteen children (34.9%) were stunted. Inadequate ANC was strongly associated with stunting (OR = 35.00; 95% CI: 3.92–312.17; p < 0.001). Children who were not exclusively breastfed had higher odds of stunting than exclusively breastfed children (OR = 6.00; 95% CI: 1.52–23.68; p = 0.008). Inadequate complementary feeding showed the strongest association with stunting (OR = 108.00; 95% CI: 10.17–1147.45; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Inadequate ANC, absence of exclusive breastfeeding, and suboptimal complementary feeding were significantly associated with stunting. Strengthening maternal healthcare, breastfeeding support, and age-appropriate complementary feeding education should be prioritized within first-1,000-days interventions in remote communities

Abstract

Background: Cyberbullying has emerged as an important challenge among adolescents and may negatively affect their psychological well-being. Conventional health education approaches may be less engaging for adolescents, particularly in rural settings with limited access to mental health promotion programs. Interactive storytelling offers a participatory approach that combines narratives, role-play, discussion, and reflection to strengthen adolescents’ understanding and responses to cyberbullying. This community service program aimed to improve adolescents’ knowledge, attitudes, empathy, and practical skills related to cyberbullying prevention and mental health promotion through interactive storytelling. Methods: The program was conducted among 15 high school students in Bissolorro Village, Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi. The intervention included mental health and cyberbullying education, interactive storytelling, role-play, group discussions, simulations, and reflection. Knowledge was assessed using pre- and post-tests, while attitudes, empathy, and practical skills were evaluated through reflection sheets and facilitator observations. Results: The mean knowledge score increased from 52.0 before the intervention to 84.1 after the intervention, representing a 32.1-point improvement. Positive attitudes were also observed: 93.3% of participants rejected cyberbullying, while 96.7% expressed willingness to support victims. All groups successfully identified cyberbullying scenarios, and 80% demonstrated appropriate response strategies and assertive communication skills. Conclusion: Interactive storytelling was an engaging and participatory approach for improving adolescents’ knowledge, attitudes, empathy, and practical skills related to mental health promotion and cyberbullying prevention. The approach has potential for continued implementation in school-based health promotion programs.
