Abstract

Processed snacks are served in many places, in various types, and are very popular with various groups, including children under five. The snacks in question are traditional and manufactured drinks and processed foods. This service activity was carried out to increase the knowledge and skills of family mothers in choosing and processing healthy snacks for family members, including toddlers, in Tablolong Village, West Kupang District, Kupang Regency, on July 29, 2023, with 50 family mothers participating using the "Education and counseling and simulation.” Before the extension activities are carried out, pre and post-test evaluations will be carried out to measure the abilities and changes in attitudes and actions of the mothers participating in the training regarding the extension material. The pre-test results found that most (62.7%) of family mothers did not understand well healthy snacks (snacks) regarding the type, quantity, and correct method of processing food. However, after confirmation from the results of counseling and food processing simulations, it is known that 100% of family mothers already understand and can choose types of food, prepare simple but nutritious menus with processing methods that are friendly to the availability of sufficient and appropriate nutritional content that is needed and can ensure that the amount of food consumed is according to the needs per day per age per gender of family members.

Abstract

Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) is a condition where a mother experiences a prolonged and continuous lack of food intake (chronic), leading to health problems. The primary factor contributing to the risk of CED in pregnant women is insufficient food consumption. This study aims to examine the relationship between dietary patterns and the occurrence of CED among pregnant women in the working area of Kawangu Public Health Center, East Sumba Regency. The research method used was analytic observation with a case-control design. The study population consisted of 40 cases and 260 controls, with a sample size of 60 pregnant women (30 cases and 30 controls). Sampling was conducted using simple random sampling, and bivariate analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed a significant relationship between dietary patterns and the occurrence of CED in pregnant women. Pregnant women with poor dietary patterns had a lower risk of experiencing CED (p=0.000, OR=0.091). Additionally, inadequate meal frequency was also associated with CED (p=0.000, OR=0.026), as was insufficient energy intake (p=0.000, OR=0.014). However, variables such as food type and protein intake did not show a significant relationship with CED. This study recommends that pregnant women receive health education through prenatal classes to improve dietary quality, ensuring that their energy, carbohydrate, protein, vitamin, and mineral needs are adequately met.

Abstract

Chayote (Sechium edule) is one of the local food ingredients that has the potential to be used as an alternative substitute for wheat flour in making biscuits. The use of chayote flour is expected to increase the nutritional value and diversify local-based food. This study aims to determine the effect of substitution of wheat flour with chayote flour on the organoleptic value of biscuits, especially on the parameters of color, aroma, taste, and texture. This study used an experimental method with a completely randomized design consisting of four treatments of chayote flour substitution, namely 0% (P1), 25% (P2), 50% (P3), and 75% (P4). The data obtained were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and the Mann-Whitney further test to see the differences between treatments. The results showed that the substitution of chayote flour had a significant effect on color, aroma, and taste (p <0.01), but did not have a significant effect on texture (p>0.01). Treatment P1 had the highest acceptability, while P4 had the lowest level of acceptability. The use of chayote flour in biscuit making can be applied up to an optimal limit of 50% to maintain organoleptic characteristics and increase fiber content. Further research is recommended to explore processing techniques that can improve sensory acceptance and nutritional value of biscuits with chayote flour substitution.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease caused by infection of the Dengue virus. The incidence of Dengue Fever in Sikka District is the highest in East Nusa Tenggara Province and even in Indonesia at the beginning of 2020. The condition of DHF occurrence in Sikka District is designated as an Extraordinary Event (EE). This study aims to identify some factors including the home environment, biological environment, and social environment that might lead to the occurrence of DHF in Sikka Regency and to determine the risk of a person getting DHF based on the factors. There were 170 respondents from the community of Sikka Regency, where 85 of them have suffered from DHF while the other 85 have never had DHF. The instrument used was a questionnaire containing 22 questions that have been tested for validity and reliability. This is a quantitative study, where the analytical method used is the logistic regression analysis. The results of the analysis showed that the factors that affect a person suffering from DHF are the size of the house, the color of the walls of the house, the habit of draining water reservoirs, the habit of using mosquito repellent, and the participation in cleaning mosquito nests. Based on the value of the odds ratio, it is known that a person with a house area of 36 m2 is more at risk of contracting dengue fever than someone with a house area of 36 m2. Likewise, households that did not participate in cleaning mosquito nests were compared to those who did participate. It is also found that house members who have light wall colors, have a habit of draining water reservoirs, and have a habit of using mosquito repellent are more at risk of contracting DHF than family members whose walls are dark in color, do not have the habit of draining water reservoirs, and do not participate in cleaning mosquito nests.

Abstract

Background: Dysmenorrhea, which refers to painful menstrual periods, is a widespread gynecological issue that affects teenage girls and may influence their academic achievements and overall quality of life. Objective: This research sought to explore the relationship between dietary habits, body mass index (BMI), and the occurrence of painful menstrual periods among teenage girls at Senior High School. Methods: A quantitative, cross-sectional approach was employed. The research involved female students between the ages of 15 and 18, who were chosen using stratified random sampling methods. Information regarding nutritional intake was gathered through a validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), and BMI was determined using the recorded height and weight measurements. Results: Energy intake had no relationship with the incidence of dysmenorrhea, while protein and fe intake were found to be associated with the incidence of dysmenorrhea. (the p-value of protein is 0.006 OR=0.237 and the p-value of fe is 0.004=OR=0.252). BMI has a relationship with the incidence of dysmenorrhea with a p-value = 0.014 OR= 0.811. The research concludes that insufficient nutrition and unusual BMI are strongly linked to the prevalence of dysmenorrhea in adolescent females. Conclusions:  Encouraging a balanced diet and maintaining a healthy body weight may assist in lowering the risk and effects of dysmenorrhea in teenagers.
