Abstract

Every family has health duties that aim to prevent health problems and care for sick family members. Family health duties include five main aspects: preventing illness, maintaining health, managing existing illnesses, participating in health programs, and coping with emergency situations. The implementation of these health duties is often influenced by the family culture, including the values and customs of a particular ethnic group. This study focuses on the implementation of family health duties in the Minangkabau community, which is known for its matrilineal kinship system. The population of this study consisted of Minangkabau families in Nogo Rejo Village, Galang Sub-district. The main objective of this study was to identify how Minangkabau families carry out their health duties. The results showed that knowledge about the implementation of family health duties in the Minangkabau community is still limited. This indicates that further research is needed to uncover the cultural factors that influence the implementation of family health duties among the Minangkabau. By digging deeper into family health practices in this cultural context, it is hoped that more appropriate approaches can be found in supporting Minangkabau families in maintaining health and caring for sick family members. This research provides an important basis for further exploration of how Minangkabau cultural values and practices may influence family health. Through a deeper understanding of the relationship between culture and family health, more effective intervention efforts can be designed to improve the quality of life of Minangkabau people.

Abstract

The importance of proper nutrient intake for children's growth and development is a major concern for parents, providing exclusive breastfeeding until the age of 6 months is a very important first step to ensure children get adequate nutrition for growth and development. At the age of 6 months, the child enters a transition period where the introduction of complementary foods (MP-ASI), MP-ASI is an additional source of nutrition given to children after the age of 6 months to meet their nutritional needs apart from breast milk. The importance of providing complementary foods on time in the age range of 6-12 months is crucial, as children are very vulnerable to malnutrition during this period. Therefore, complementary foods become the main support in maintaining the nutritional balance of children from 6 months to 2 years of age. By providing appropriate complementary foods, it is expected that children can grow and develop optimally and avoid the risk of malnutrition that can interfere with their health and growth.
