Abstract

This research aims to explain the phenomenon of traditional treatment for broken bones carried out by the Serui Tribe in Manokwari Regency, West Papua. The research method uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design through in-depth interviews with 10 informants consisting of traditional healers, patients, traditional leaders and health workers. The results of the research show that the traditional treatment for bone fractures in the Serui Tribe uses the main ingredients of the Callisia fragrans plant (Purple Pearl Grass) and pure coconut oil (VCO) which are applied to the fracture area through dressing and bandaging. There are restrictions in the treatment process in the form of a prohibition on consuming hot food and drinks. People choose traditional medicine because of cultural beliefs, more affordable costs, easier access, and fast healing experiences. The dynamics of treatment choices in society shows a transition from medical to traditional treatment in some cases that do not show progress with medical methods. The conclusion of this study reveals that the Serui Tribe's traditional bone fracture treatment practices are still popular with the public even though medical services are available, and there is potential to integrate the two treatment systems for optimal results.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze children's consumption patterns based on cultural, economic, social and food access factors in Karang Tumaritis Village, Nabire District. A qualitative method with a case study approach was used involving 24 informants selected through purposive sampling, consisting of health workers, community leaders and parents. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews, participant observation and documentation. The research results show that cultural factors influence preferences for traditional foods such as sweet potatoes, cassava and river fish, economic limitations cause low quality and less varied food choices, the influence of peers and the media encourages the consumption of unhealthy snacks, and dependence on markets and limited garden space become obstacles to food access. Then, the main challenges include lack of nutritional knowledge, economic limitations, and low parental attention. Therefore, improvement strategies include serving attractive foods and nutrition education. The research recommends strengthening nutrition education, using local food, and cross-sector synergy to improve children's healthy and sustainable consumption patterns.
