Abstract

This study explores the experiences of pregnant women participating in prenatal classes at three health centers in Nabire Regency, representing urban, transmigration, and semi-rural areas. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, four main themes emerged: positive experiences marked by increased knowledge and comfort; multifaceted benefits including educational, practical, preventive, and psychological aspects; various obstacles such as limited access, lack of information, and insufficient family support; and motivating factors like personal motivation, family encouragement, and ease of access. The findings highlight the value of prenatal classes while emphasizing the need for improved accessibility and culturally contextualized approaches to enhance participation and program effectiveness.

Abstract

The present study analyzes the risk factors for stunting in children aged 2–5 years in the Pasar Sentral Health Center area, Mimika Regency. The research employing a correlational descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach with a sample of 120 children from 21 posyandu. The data were collected through the questionnaires, medical records, and analyzed using the chi-square test. The prevalence of stunting was found to be 91.7%. A multitude of factors have been identified as being significantly associated with stunting, including a history of infectious diseases, a number of antenatal care (ANC) visits falling below the threshold of six, incomplete immunization, non-exclusive breastfeeding, and a history of low birth weight (LBW). The following factors were found to be non-significantly associated: maternal age, maternal education, early breastfeeding initiation (IMD), parity, and pregnancy spacing. The most significant factor identified was a history of infectious diseases, which increased the likelihood of stunting by 2.674 times. It is recommended that interventions prioritize the following: the control of infectious diseases, the enhancement of the quality of ANC, the augmentation of immunization coverage, the promotion of exclusive breastfeeding, and the prevention of LBW.

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.
