Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, with multidimensional impacts ranging from impaired physical growth to reduced human capital quality. Socioeconomic status, parental education, and parenting practices are recognized determinants, but the role of digital behavior, particularly smartphone use, remains underexplored. This study aims to analyze the association between parental smartphone use duration and stunting among children in Medan City. An analytical observational study with a case-control design was conducted involving 124 respondents (62 cases, 62 controls) selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using sociodemographic questionnaires and the Smartphone Addiction Scale – Short Version (SAS-SV). Statistical analysis employed Chi-Square tests and Odds Ratio estimation. Most case respondents had a high school education (51.6%) and a family income of IDR 1,000,000–3,000,000 (64.5%), while control respondents were predominantly university graduates (88.7%) with incomes exceeding IDR 5,000,000 (54.8%). Smartphone addiction was more prevalent in the case group (71.0%) than in controls (21.0%). A significant association was found (p < 0.001), with OR = 9.214 (95% CI: 4.053–20.948). Excessive parental smartphone use is significantly associated with stunting in children, highlighting the need for preventive interventions that address digital behavior as an emerging risk factor.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of Channa striata extract on Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and the histopathological features of the heart in liver cirrhosis model rats. This experimental research used a randomized post-test only control group design with male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) as test subjects. Liver cirrhosis was induced using carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄) for six weeks. The rats were divided into control and treatment groups, each receiving different doses of Channa striata extract. The observed parameters included cardiac MDA levels as an indicator of oxidative stress and histopathological changes in heart tissue examined using hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The results showed that Channa striata extract significantly reduced MDA levels compared to the control group and improved the histological structure of the heart in cirrhosis model rats. These findings indicate that Channa striata possesses hepatocardioprotective potential through antioxidant mechanisms that can reduce tissue damage caused by oxidative stress.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health issue in Indonesia, particularly in urban areas such as Medan. While socioeconomic and nutritional factors are well recognized, the influence of maternal age at marriage on child growth is less explored. This study examined the association between maternal age at marriage and childhood stunting in Medan, Indonesia. Methods. An analytical observational study with a case–control design was conducted from January to March 2025 across several community health centres in Medan. A total of 124 mother–child pairs (62 stunted and 62 non-stunted children) were selected using cluster random sampling. Data were collected through structured interviews and health-record reviews. Stunting was defined as height-for-age Z-score < -2 SD based on WHO standards. Logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between maternal age at marriage (<25 years vs ≥25 years) and stunting, adjusting for maternal education, maternal health during pregnancy, socioeconomic status, and birth weight. Children of mothers who married before age 25 had significantly higher odds of being stunted compared with those whose mothers married later (adjusted OR = 2.85; 95% CI: 1.71-4.76; p < 0.001). Low maternal education (adjusted OR = 2.12; p = 0.021) and low birth weight (adjusted OR = 2.43; p = 0.030) were also independent predictors of stunting. Conclusion. Maternal marriage before 25 years is a strong determinant of childhood stunting in urban Medan. Delaying maternal marriage, enhancing women’s education, and strengthening maternal health programs could substantially reduce stunting prevalence. This study contributes new evidence to Indonesia’s national efforts to prevent stunting through life-course and policy-oriented interventions.

Abstract

Dementia is one of the major health problems in the elderly, characterized by progressive cognitive decline that affects daily functioning and quality of life. Physical activity plays a protective role against dementia by increasing cerebral blood flow, improving neuronal function, and reducing cognitive degeneration. The Elderly Social Services Unit (UPTD Lanjut Usia) in Binjai accommodates elderly people with various characteristics, making it a representative setting to examine the relationship between physical activity and dementia. This study aimed to determine the association between physical activity and dementia among elderly residents of UPTD Lanjut Usia Binjai, North Sumatra Province, in 2024. This was an analytical quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. A total of 133 elderly respondents were included using total sampling. Physical activity levels were measured using the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE), while cognitive status was assessed with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Data analysis was performed using univariate methods for frequency distribution and bivariate analysis with the Spearman Rank test, with a significance level of p < 0.05. The findings showed that the majority of respondents had low physical activity levels (70.7%), while 21.1% had moderate activity and only 8.3% had high activity levels. Regarding cognitive status, 50.4% of respondents experienced definite dementia, 31.6% probable dementia, and only 18.0% remained cognitively normal. The Spearman Rank test revealed a significant association between physical activity and dementia (p = 0.000). There is a significant relationship between physical activity and dementia among the elderly at UPTD Lanjut Usia Binjai. Elderly individuals with lower levels of physical activity were more likely to experience dementia compared to those with moderate or high physical activity.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of the Medical Committee in improving the quality of health services at Dr. Pirngadi Hospital, Medan City. The Medical Committee plays an important role in maintaining the professionalism of medical personnel and ensuring quality medical services through medical audits, continuing education, scientific meetings, and mentoring new medical personnel. Using a qualitative descriptive method with an in-depth interview approach to informants consisting of medical staff, doctors, patients, and nurses. This study shows that the role of the Medical Committee at Dr. Pirngadi Hospital has been carried out well, especially in medical audits, although there are obstacles in implementing follow-up audit results due to limited time and facilities. The role of the Medical Committee in organizing scientific meetings and continuing education is still limited and not made a routine program, while the mentoring process (proctoring) for new medical personnel has not been well structured. Through this study, it is clear that although the Medical Committee has played a role in improving the quality of services through medical audits, there is still room for improvement, especially in terms of continuing education and proctoring new medical personnel.

Abstract

Stunting is a critical global health issue, especially in developing countries, affecting the growth and development of children under five. This study aims to analyze the factors related to the incidence of stunting in toddlers aged 24-59 months. This quantitative research employs a cross-sectional design, involving 200 toddlers selected randomly from several integrated health posts (Posyandu). Data were collected through questionnaires and direct measurements, then analyzed using multiple logistic regression. The results showed that family nutritional awareness behavior, maternal nutritional knowledge, and clean and healthy living behavior (CHLB) significantly affect the incidence of stunting. Maternal nutritional knowledge was identified as the most dominant factor. These findings emphasize the importance of comprehensive interventions involving family education, nutritional support, and CHLB promotion to reduce stunting prevalence. Further research and implementation of targeted interventions are needed to address and mitigate stunting effectively.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global public health threat, with Indonesia ranking second worldwide in new cases at 759,000. Puskesmas Paal V in Jambi City recorded 312 cases in 2023 with a treatment success rate of 85.6 percent, still below the National Tuberculosis Control Program target of 90 percent. This study aimed to analyze the characteristics and risk factors of TB occurrence at Puskesmas Paal V during the period January 2023 to April 2026 using multivariate logistic regression integrated with GIS-based spatial mapping. A retrospective cohort design was applied to 285 microbiologically confirmed pulmonary TB patients, selected through total sampling. Data from the e-TB Manager register, medical records, and validated questionnaires were analyzed using Chi-Square tests, logistic regression, and spatial analysis including Moran's I and Getis-Ord Gi*, processed through SPSS 26.0 and QGIS 3.28. Cases were dominated by males (65.6 percent) and the 25 to 44 year age group (57.5 percent), with 69.1 percent presenting at an advanced stage. Significant risk factors included household contact history (AOR 4.31), smoking behavior (AOR 3.14), housing density (AOR 2.45), Diabetes Mellitus (AOR 2.61), and malnutrition (AOR 2.08), collectively explaining 45.2 percent of the variability in TB occurrence. Spatial analysis identified three clustered hotspots (Moran's I 0.45), underscoring the importance of area-based intervention alongside individual risk factors.
