This study aims to determine the effect of feeding patterns on the incidence of stunting in children aged 1-5 years. This research is a cross-sectional analytic observational study. Samples were taken using proportional random sampling technique so that a total of 217 mothers with stunted children aged 1-5 years were obtained. Primary data collection used the Child Feeding Questionnaire and secondary data used the EPPGBM application. The results of the Chi-square test can be concluded that the significant value is 0.000 <0.05, the significant value of frequency is 0.027 <0.05, the significant value of the number of meals is 0.016 <0.05. Based on the description above, it can be concluded that there is an influence on the pattern of feeding on the incidence of stunting, so it is recommended that parents use KIA’s books to increase knowledge and observe about the growth and development of their children and always apply the right feeding pattern for their children from birth to adulthood because nutritional intake is one of the important factors to create a healthy and quality life.

Abstract

Background: Patient safety is crucial in healthcare, with medication being a key component in assessing quality. Medication errors, which are unintended issues in the drug administration process, can occur at any stage—prescribing, dispensing, storing, preparing, or administering and pose serious risks to patients. Defined as accidental failures in the drug-treatment process, these errors contribute significantly to preventable adverse events and public health burdens. Addressing medication errors requires a thorough and comprehensive approach to minimize their impact. Purpose: To assess and enhance nurses' understanding of medication errors, their causes, and preventive strategies through a comprehensive medication safety program. Method: A quantitative, single-group, non-randomized quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-tests. It involved 57 registered nurses from healthcare facilities. Data were collected before and after the program intervention using self-administered questionnaires and objective structured clinical examinations (OSCE). Analysis was performed using SPSS version 22. Results: Significant improvements in nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding medication safety. The percentage of participants with "Very Good" knowledge increased from 0% before the program to 45.6% afterward, while those with poor knowledge decreased from 68.4% to 15.8%. Good attitudes dropped to 5% post-intervention, and the mean score for practices increased to 16.6667 following the program. Conclusion: The medication safety education program significantly enhanced nurses' Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP), leading to a notable reduction in medication errors. The program fostered collaborative learning among healthcare personnel, improved patient outcomes, and increased nurses' confidence in medication administration. It also clarified roles within the healthcare team and promoted a culture of open communication and teamwork, which is vital for patient safety.

Abstract

Smoking among adolescents is the major health-related issues in Malaysia. However, information concerning recent smoking rates and how they correlate among adolescents in rural areas is still limited. This study aimed to determine the percentage of adolescent smokers among high school students, examine their level of nicotine dependence, and study the association between sociodemographic data and smoking status. A cross-sectional study was conducted at one of the high schools located in the rural area of Bandar Tun Abdul Razak, Pahang, Malaysia. A convenience sampling method was used to select the participants, as only Form 2 students were available during the data collection. In total, 113 respondents were recruited for the study. The data, which were collected using self-administered questionnaires were analyzed using chi-square analysis and Fisher’s exact test analysis. The results showed that the prevalence of adolescent smokers among high school students was quite high (25.7%). Among the adolescent smokers, 65.5% had low nicotine dependence, and 34.5% had moderate nicotine dependence. Moreover, 21.4% of them admitted that they had tried other substances or drugs in addition to cigarettes. Peer pressure was the major factor in smoking (69.0%), followed by curiosity (27.6%), and then smoking family members’ influence, stress or tension, and others (3.4% each). The only significant association (p < 0.001) was between gender and smoking status. These findings showed that the proportion of smokers among adolescents is increasing over the years; thus, effective strategies, such as peer advocacy of smoking cessation, may be needed among this population.

Merokok di kalangan remaja adalah masalah kesehatan utama di Malaysia. Namun, informasi mengenai tingkat perokok saat ini dan korelasinya di kalangan remaja di daerah pedesaan masih terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui persentase remaja perokok di kalangan siswa sekolah menengah atas (SMA), mengetahui tingkat ketergantungan nikotin, dan mempelajari hubungan antara data sosiodemografi dengan status merokok. Sebuah studi cross-sectional dilakukan di salah satu SMA yang terletak di daerah pedesaan Bandar Tun Abdul Razak, Pahang, Malaysia. Metode convenience sampling digunakan untuk memilih peserta, hanya siswa Form 2 yang bersedia selama pengumpulan data. Sebanyak 113 responden direkrut untuk penelitian ini. Data yang dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner yang dikelola secara mandiri, dan dianalisis menggunakan analisis chi-square dan analisis Fisher’s exact test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa prevalensi perokok remaja pada siswa SMA cukup tinggi (25,7%). Di antara remaja perokok, 65,5% memiliki ketergantungan nikotin tingkat rendah, dan 34,5% memiliki ketergantungan nikotin tingkat sedang. Terlebih, 21,4% di antaranya mengaku pernah mencoba zat atau obat lain selain rokok. Tekanan dari orang terdekat (teman) merupakan faktor utama dalam merokok (69,0%), diikuti oleh rasa ingin tahu (27,6%), dan pengaruh anggota keluarga yang merokok, stres atau ketegangan, dan lain-lain (masing-masing 3,4%). Satu-satunya hubungan yang signifikan (p < 0,001) adalah antara jenis kelamin dan status merokok. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa proporsi perokok di kalangan remaja meningkat dari tahun ke tahun; oleh karena itu, strategi yang efektif, seperti advokasi sejawat untuk berhenti merokok, diperlukan di kalangan populasi ini.

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescents constitute a significant demographic group susceptible to the development of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The year 2020 witnessed a rise in the number of HIV/AIDS cases, with a notable concentration among individuals aged 20-29 years. Consequently, preventive measures should be targeted towards those under 20 years of age, specifically adolescents. This research aims to identify the impact of health counselling on teenagers’ knowledge of HIV/AIDS. Methods: The study utilizes a pre-experimental design, specifically a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The sample comprises 90 respondents selected through Simple Random Sampling. The research assesses the average knowledge level of teenagers before and after counselling, utilizing statistical analysis. Results: The findings indicate that the average knowledge level of teenagers before counselling is 1.49, whereas the average knowledge level after counselling is 1.94. The statistical analysis, employing the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, reveals a significant p-value of <0.001. Conclusion: The research concludes that health counselling has a substantial influence on enhancing teenagers' knowledge about HIV/AIDS. This underscores the importance of implementing targeted health interventions and educational programs to raise awareness and knowledge levels among adolescents, contributing to the overall prevention and control of HIV/AIDS in this vulnerable population.
