Abstract

Early childhood is a critical period for cognitive, motor, and social development. While various play-based tools are used to stimulate child development, there is limited evidence comparing the effectiveness of different tools. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Bambi Activity Tools and Brick Blocks in enhancing early childhood development, particularly in fine motor, gross motor, language, and social skills. This quasi-experimental study employed a pretest-posttest control group design. A total of 42 children aged 5–6 years were purposively selected from two kindergartens in Sleman Regency, Indonesia. The intervention was conducted over 4 weeks, with sessions held three times per week for 30–45 minutes. Children in the intervention group used Bambi Activity Tools guided by trained teachers, while the control group used Brick Blocks under similar conditions. Developmental progress was measured using the standardized Kuesioner Pra Skrining Perkembangan (KPSP), a validated and reliable instrument assessing four domains of development. Nutritional status was screened based on BMI-for-age, and baseline demographic comparability between groups was assessed. Both groups showed significant improvement in developmental scores after the intervention; however, the mean increase was significantly greater in the Bambi Activity Tools group (mean difference = 0.95; p < 0.001, Wilcoxon test). Post-intervention comparison between groups using the Mann–Whitney U test also revealed a significant difference favoring the Bambi group (p < 0.001). The findings align with prior studies emphasizing the importance of structured, guided play in promoting developmental milestones. The greater effectiveness of Bambi Activity Tools may be attributed to their multimodal design and targeted stimulation. Maternal education, occupation, and child gender were identified as contextual factors that may influence outcomes, although no significant baseline differences were found between groups. Bambi Activity Tools are more effective than Brick Blocks in enhancing early childhood development. These findings support their integration into early childhood education settings. Future research should explore long-term developmental outcomes and scalability in diverse populations.

Abstract

Indonesia ranks among the highest globally for childhood stunting, largely due to chronic nutritional deficiencies beginning during the first 8000 days of life—starting even before conception. Poor health and nutritional status among women of reproductive age prior to marriage significantly increase the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes and childhood stunting. This study aimed to identify the determinants of premarital couples’ participation in preconception care as a strategy to reduce stunting. This cross-sectional analytical study involved 61 premarital couples recruited through total sampling at the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) in Kapanewon Sewon, Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Inclusion criteria included couples aged 20–35 years who met the study requirements. Data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate (Chi-square), and multivariate logistic regression tests. Knowledge (p = 0.001), attitude (p = 0.007), and social support (p = 0.015) were significantly associated with participation in preconception care. Multivariate analysis showed that couples with good knowledge were 4.3 times more likely (AOR = 4.30; 95% CI: 1.65–11.22) to participate in preconception care. Improved knowledge, positive attitudes, and strong social support significantly increase premarital couples’ participation in preconception care. Strengthening early health promotion and community-based interventions is essential to optimize reproductive health preparation and prevent stunting from its earliest source.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is nutritional health issues in Indonesia affecting children under 5 years. Numerous variables, including exclusive breastfeeding, can contribute to stunting. This study aims to find out the influence of history of exclusive breastfeeding to stunting in children between the ages of 6 and 24 months in the Turi Health Center working area. Methods: This study used a case-control study design and an observational-analytic sampling with a simple random sampling method. All children aged 6-24 months in Turi Health Center's toddler registration who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were listed as study subjects. There were 100 subjects with 50 subjects being cases and 50 subjects being controls. Data analysis used univariable, bivariable using Chi-square, and multivariable using logistic regression. Results: The characteristics of respondents with male and female gender had the same proportion (50%), while the children age were mostly 13-24 months old (62%). Most of respondents had a history of exclusive breastfeeding (80%) dan had never experiencing infectious diseases (58%). The findings demonstrated a significant correlation between exclusive breastfeeding history and stunting among children aged 6-24 months with a p-value of 0.012 OR 3.857 (95% CI:1.278-11.638). Conclussion: Exclusive breastfeeding is one of the keys to provide sufficient nutrients among children under five. Exclusive breastfeeding continues to be promoted to decrease the prevalence of stunting in children aged 6-24 months.or exploring other variables that influence labor progress.

Abstract

Adolescent pregnancy is a serious problem. Adolescent pregnancy can lead to reduced antenatal care (ANC) visits and result in significant consequences in the form of untreated pregnancy complications that will result in increased Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR). The primary objective of this study was to ascertain and scrutinize the factors influencing antenatal care (ANC) visitation patterns among adolescent pregnant women within Bantul Regency. This study is an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design. The outcomes of the chi-square test for the facilitating factor yielded results about the level of education (p= 0.041), marriage status (p= 0.006), and pregnancy status (p= 0.000) while on the reinforcing factor of family support (p= 0.027). The results of this study's logistic regression test stated that health worker support (p= 0.020) and pregnancy status (p= 0.001). The conclusion of this research suggests that the pivotal determinants significantly influencing ANC utilization among adolescent pregnant women in Bantul Regency are the presence of health worker support and the particular status of pregnancy.
