Abstract

This study explores in depth the understanding and role of health students in stunting prevention in Nabire District, Central Papua, which has a stunting prevalence of 22.2%, exceeding the national average. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, research data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. Data analysis used source triangulation. The results indicate that health students have a fairly comprehensive understanding of stunting. Their role in stunting prevention is manifested through community education activities, counseling for pregnant women and infants, nutrition counseling, demonstrations of nutritious food preparation, and participation in fieldwork programs. Challenges faced by students include low self-confidence, uncooperative community responses, difficulty accessing stunting data, and limited awareness of the importance of effective communication. Health students have great potential as agents of change in stunting prevention, provided they receive support, including closer collaboration between educational institutions, the government, and the community to create a stunting prevention ecosystem.

Abstract

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease with a high prevalence that requires comprehensive management. This study aims to explore the experiences of hypertensive patients in undergoing treatment in Bengkol Village, Manado City. Using a descriptive phenomenological qualitative design, this study involved 15 participants aged 30-70 years who were selected through snowball sampling technique. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using triangulation techniques. The results showed four main themes: treatment efforts through a combination of medical and traditional therapies, lifestyle adjustments with hypertension diet and physical activity, control compliance influenced by knowledge and family support, and prevention barriers including limited health services and economic factors. The study concluded that the experience of hypertensive patients reflects a holistic adaptation to chronic disease with social support as a key factor for successful therapy.

Abstract

This study examines the low attendance of mothers of toddlers from the Damal Tribe at the Agikemok and Nella Posyandu under the Kwamki Narama Health Center, Mimika Regency, Central Papua. Using a qualitative case study with 16 informants, the research found a decline in participation between 2023 and 2024. Five main themes emerged: inconsistent attendance, limited socio-cultural influence, economic barriers, suboptimal support from health workers due to inadequate facilities, and generally positive but insufficient community perceptions. The study concludes that economic constraints, infrastructure limitations, and lack of family support are the main causes of low participation. Strengthening Posyandu facilities, empowering community leaders, and developing sustainable, locally based programs are recommended.
