Abstract

Stunting is a chronic malnutrition problem caused by inadequate nutritional intake over a prolonged period due to improper feeding practices that do not meet nutritional needs. The percentage of stunted children at the Tarus Health Center has increased every year from 2019 to 2022. This study aims to determine the socioeconomic factors associated with stunting among children under five in the working area of Tarus Health Center, Kupang Regency. This type of research is an analytical survey with a case-control study design. The sample consisted of 36 cases and 36 controls, selected using probability sampling techniques. Data collection was carried out through observation and structured interviews using questionnaires. Data analysis included univariate and bivariate analysis using the chi-square test. The results showed that the factors associated with stunting were family income (p-value = 0.023) and history of infectious diseases (p-value = 0.001), while factors not associated were maternal education (p-value = 0.617) and maternal occupation (p-value = 0.629). Based on these findings, it is expected that health workers provide education on proper dietary practices by utilizing local resources, and the government should also create adequate job opportunities so that human resources can improve, thereby reducing stunting rates in families.

Abstract

Stunting is generally experienced by vulnerable or at-risk families, such as in families with low or poor economy. However, toddlers who have good nutritional status can also be foexample of a positive deviation that has been successfully implemented by underprivileged families. This study aims to reveal the factors why poor families can have toddlers with good nutritional status. This type of research is qualitative with a case study design, with samples taken from poor families who have toddlers without stunting in Namosain sub-district. The selection of samples in this study used a purposive sampling technique based on case criteria. The tools used in this study included questionnaires as well as recording and documentation tools. Data analysis was carried out qualitatively based on information obtained from in-depth interviews with informants. The results of the study showed that the pattern of feeding, personal hygiene, and health services among poor families was good. Families were able to provide and regulate a variety of nutritious foods for toddlers by choosing nutritious foods that were easily accessible to mothers of toddlers. Families also always pay attention to personal hygiene and health services for toddlers, thus supporting their nutritional status. Cadres and health workers play a role in monitoring the nutritional status of toddlers, providing counseling on nutrition, and dealing with nutritional problems. Positive deviance behavior needs to be socialized to the community through family empowerment and various experiences between families that show positive deviance, with support from the local health service and community health centers to improve health levels.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension in adolescents is becoming an increasingly important health issue because it can continue into adulthood and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease later in life. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of hypertension and pre-hypertension and to analyze the related factors in adolescents in peri-urban areas. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design conducted in October 2023 on 40 Christian Junior High School 4 Mebung students in Alor Regency. The sample selection was purposive, with inclusion criteria of 13–16 years old. Data were collected using structured questionnaires, interviews, and blood pressure measurements. Blood pressure was measured three times to ensure the accuracy of the measurement results. Data analysis included univariate analysis to describe the characteristics of the respondents and chi-square test to assess the relationship between independent variables (sodium intake, physical activity, parental history of hypertension, sleep duration, sleep quality, and stress) with hypertension status. Results: Pre-hypertension prevalence was 30%, and hypertension was 20%. Three factors showed a significant relationship with hypertension: a history of hypertension in the father (p-value = 0.038), high sodium intake (p-value = 0.002), and sleep duration of less than 8 hours (p-value = 0.001). Other factors, such as a history of hypertension in the mother, physical activity, sleep disorders, and stress, did not show a significant relationship. Conclusion: Hypertension in adolescents in peri-urban areas is related to genetic factors and lifestyle behavior. Prevention efforts need to be focused on low-sodium nutritional education, adequate sleep management, and routine blood pressure screening in schools.

Abstract

Infectious disease is a disease caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi. The disease can be passed from person to person, through contact with contaminated surfaces or objects. One simple effort that can be done to help prevent infectious diseases caused by bacteria and parasites is to teach children about the importance of a clean and healthy lifestyle. Furthermore, to ensure that children want to change habits in a healthy direction, effort is needed, one of which is through education. Health education plays an important role in promoting the well-being and development of children in primary schools. The results of community service activities show an increase in students' knowledge after counseling is carried out.

Abstract

Hypertension is a medical condition in which an individual experiences a persistent increase in blood pressure above the normal threshold, defined as a systolic pressure ≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic pressure ≥90 mmHg. Hypertension, commonly referred to as high blood pressure, is a major risk factor for heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and various other health complications. This community engagement program aimed to improve knowledge, awareness, and preventive behaviors regarding hypertension among adolescents through health education, innovative interactive educational media, and the involvement of peer health agents at SMPN 1 Kupang Timur. The activities was conducted through several stages, including an initial survey, health education using booklets and interactive websites, and the training of peer health agents from the student council (OSIS). Evaluation results showed a significant improvement: among the 50 participating students, the average score for hypertension knowledge increased from 61.5 to 80.5, with 44 students (88%) showing improvement. Knowledge as a peer health agent rose from 55.7 to 84.8 (92%), and the ability to educate peers saw the most significant jump, from 30.3 to 89.9 (98%) after the intervention. These findings confirm that interactive media and peer education-based approaches are effective in promoting behavioral change and sustainable hypertension prevention within the school environment. This program offers valuable implications for developing similar initiatives in other schools to reduce the incidence of hypertension among adolescents.

Abstract

Hipertensi sering dikaitkan dengan penyakit pada orang dewasa dan orang tua, tetapi tren hipertensi diusia muda juga tidak bisa diremehkan. Tekanan darah sistolik tinggi (SBP) yang dimulai pada masa remaja menjadi faktor risiko PTM utama pada remaja dan dewasa. Riskesdas (2018) menyatakan sebanyak 34,11% penduduk di indonesia tercatat memiliki tekanan darah tinggi, sedangkan menurut data Survei Kesehatan Indonesia (SKI) tahun 2023 menunjukkan prevalensi hipertensi pada remaja usia 15-24 tahun sebanyak 9,3 % sementara di Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) prevalensi hipertensi pada 15 tahun keatas sebanyak 24,5%. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis asupan natrium dan status obesitas sebagai faktor risiko kejadian hipertensi pada remaja di Kota Kupang. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah observasional analitik dengan desain penelitian Case Control. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah remaja di Kota Kupang.Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan Proportional sampling dan didapatkan 65 kasus dan 65 kontrol. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan observasi dan wawancara menggunakan kuesioner, Analisis data menggunakan uji statistik Chi Square dan dihitung kekuatan hubungan faktor risiko dengan menggunakan nilai Odds Ratio (OR). Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa ada hubungan bermakna antara asupan natrium dengan kejadian hipertensi pada remaja di Kota Kupang (p= 0,001; OR =7,12), serta obesitas dengan kejadian hipertensi pada remaja di Kota Kupang (p= 0,001; ATAU = 12.285). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang telah dilakukan maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara asupan natrium dan obesitas dengan hipertensi pada remaja di Kota Kupang.
