Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a major public health challenge, influenced by multiple factors including maternal knowledge about exclusive breastfeeding. Understanding this relationship is essential for improving child nutritional outcomes. Objective: To determine the association between maternal knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting among children aged 12-59 months in the working area of Saigon Community Health Center, Pontianak. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 48 children aged 12-59 months. Maternal knowledge was assessed using a structured questionnaire and categorized into low, moderate, and high levels. Child height was measured using standardized anthropometric procedures, and height-for-age z-scores (HAZ) were calculated using WHO Growth Standards. Stunting was defined as HAZ < -2 SD. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: Of the 48 children, 46 were classified as stunted. The Chi-square test indicated no statistically significant association between maternal knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding and stunting incidence (p = 0.203). Conclusion: Maternal knowledge regarding exclusive breastfeeding was not significantly associated with stunting in this study population. Further research with larger sample sizes and multivariate analysis is recommended to explore additional contributing factors.

Abstract

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, also known as acid-fast bacteria. One measure to control TB cases is treatment. The success of treatment affects the quality of life of patients with TB. Medication can improve the quality of life among tuberculosis (TB) patients. This study aims to determine the relationship between the treatment phase and the quality of life among TB patients at Puskesmas Perumnas I, Pontianak. Methods: Cross-sectional observational analytic study and a total sampling method with 23 TB patients as subjects. The quality of life was assessed with WHOQOL-BREF. Univariate and bivariate data analysis was carried out using the Fisher correlation coefficient. Univariate analysis was used to examine the distribution of research subject characteristics, while bivariate analysis was used to determine the relationshipbetween treatment phase and quality of life. Results: There is a significant relationship between the treatment phase and the quality of life of tuberculosis patients at the Perumnas I Pontianak Health Center (Sig. (2-tailed) p = 0.005). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between the treatment phase and the quality of life of tuberculosis patients at the Perumnas I Pontianak Health Center.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia has one of the highest smoking prevalence rates in Southeast Asia, reaching at least 65%, with notable regional differences. Some areas, such as West Kalimantan, continue to exhibit high smoking rates alongside limited cessation services. Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the health risks associated with smoking and determine factors that motivate smokers to quit among residents of Pontianak City and Kubu Raya District in West Kalimantan. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from June to November 2024 using multistage cluster random sampling. Participants included 385 adults aged 18 years and older who were surveyed regarding their smoking habits and health conditions. Important factors were identified and assessed using logistic regression and ROC curve analyses. Results: The prevalence of smoking was higher in Kubu Raya than in Pontianak (41.18% vs. 36.13%). Chronic respiratory symptoms (aOR=3.91; 95% CI: 2.24–6.81) and cardiovascular disease (aOR=3.76; 95% CI: 1.98–7.14) were strong quit attempt predictors. Receiving healthcare advice (aOR=2.33) and holding a higher educational degree (aOR=1.82) also positively affected cessation. The AUC of the model was 0.71, suggesting strong predictive ability. Conclusion: While the focus on smoking-related illnesses helps motivate cessation attempts, it emphasizes the need to integrate tobacco cessation services within chronic disease frameworks to advance Sustainable Development Goals 3: Good health and well-being. Strengthening community-specific public health initiatives is essential to enhance understanding and availability of cessation support in underserved areas.
