Abstract

Nutrition remains a major public health issue in Indonesia, significantly affecting the quality of human resources. One persistent nutritional problem is stunting, which continues to impact many communities, including Pacciongang Hamlet, where data showed a stunting prevalence of 11.1%. The program included problem identification, development of a problem-solving framework, and implementation through a series of activities: pre-test, health education, post-test, and practical training. One key intervention was a demonstration of preparing complementary food using local ingredients—specifically, Moringa leaves processed into nutritious pudding. Moringa was chosen due to its high protein content and availability in the village.  To evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention, pre- and post-tests were conducted to assess participants' knowledge on stunting, exclusive breastfeeding, and the benefits of Moringa. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed a significant increase in participants' understanding, with a p-value < 0.05, indicating a meaningful difference in knowledge before and after the counseling sessions. Additionally, the demonstration session successfully empowered participants to prepare and serve Moringa pudding following the given recipe. This initiative not only increased awareness of stunting prevention but also provided a practical solution using affordable and accessible local resources. In conclusion, the health education and training activities were effective in enhancing community knowledge and skills related to child nutrition and stunting prevention. This community-based approach highlights the importance of local resource utilization and participatory education in improving public health outcomes.

Abstract

Mental health is an essential aspect of an individual's life that affects adaptability to stress, productivity and overall well-being. Improving mental health literacy is an important preventive strategy in dealing with psychological challenges, including promoting positive attitudes, self-efficacy, and help-seeking behavior. This study aims to identify educational and digital technology-based interventions and evaluate their effectiveness in improving mental health literacy. The method used was a traditional literature review of ten relevant scientific articles, obtained through a rigorous selection process from PubMed and Google Scholar databases. The initial search yielded 1,524 articles from PubMed and 201 from Google Scholar.  Articles were obtained using a combination of keywords such as “mental health promotion”, “intervention”, ‘adolescents’ and “mental health education”. The analysis showed that different forms of interventions, such as online trainings, mental health curricula, digital self-efficacy training, and audiovisual media, were effective in increasing understanding, positive attitudes, self-efficacy, and propensity to seek professional help. The success of interventions relies heavily on contextualized, interactive and active participation-based designs, as well as integration with social support. Therefore, the development of adaptive, inclusive, and sustainable intervention models is crucial in strengthening efforts to promote and prevent mental health problems.

Abstract

Mental health is a crucial aspect of marriage and pregnancy that is often overlooked in premarital counseling. This study aims to examine the role of marriage counseling in shaping prospective mothers' positive attitudes towards mental health. Through a literature review of ten relevant research articles, it was found that premarital counseling is effective in enhancing mental readiness, reducing anxiety, and fostering prospective mothers' understanding of mental health, marital communication, and preparation for pregnancy. Counseling interventions, whether face-to-face, online, or through technology-based approaches, have been proven to strengthen prospective mothers' readiness for marriage and parenthood. However, long-term effectiveness depends on participants' active involvement and environmental support. Therefore, innovative, interactive, and sustainable counseling programs are necessary to maximize their impact.

Abstract

Gastritis is an inflammation of the gastric mucosa that can occuracutely or chronically and is closely associated with foodborne diseases. Adolescents are a vulnerable group to gastritis, making early prevention through school-based health promotion essential. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of flipbook and leaflet media on gastritis prevention behaviors among junior high school students in Bulukumba Regency. A quasi-experimental study with a control group pretest–posttest design was conducted involving 131 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using structured pretest and posttest questionnaires that had been validated and proven reliable. Statistical analyses were performed using the Wilcoxon test and Kruskal–Wallis test. The results showed improvements in knowledge, attitudes, and practices across all groups after the intervention. Flipbook media were more effective in improving students’ knowledge (mean rank 74.90; p=0.052) and attitudes (mean rank 98.18; p=0.000). In contrast, leaflet media demonstrated greater effectiveness in improving preventive practices (mean rank 75.66; p=0.054). In conclusion, health promotion media significantly influence gastritis prevention behaviors among adolescents. Flipbooks are more effective in enhancing cognitive and affective domains, while leaflets are more effective in improving psychomotor aspects. Strengthening school-based health programs is recommended to promote healthy lifestyles among students.

Abstract

Stunting is one of the global health issues that remains a major challenge, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia. Although its prevalence has decreased slightly from 21.6% in 2022 to 21.5% in 2023, this figure is still far from the national target of 14%. Stunting is caused by chronic malnutrition and recurrent infections, especially during the first 1,000 days of life (HPK). One of the factors contributing to stunting is maternal parenting, particularly in terms of nutritional fulfillment, psychosocial stimulation, and child care. This study aims to review the relationship between maternal parenting styles and the incidence of stunting through a literature review approach. The method used is a qualitative descriptive study by examining 10 quantitative research articles with a cross-sectional design selected from Google Scholar and PubMed based on inclusion criteria. The results show that most articles state that there is a significant relationship between maternal parenting and the incidence of stunting. Democratic and responsive parenting contributes to the prevention of stunting, while inappropriate parenting increases the risk. Therefore, strengthening parenting education is an important strategy in efforts to reduce stunting in Indonesia.
