Abstract

Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) among adolescent girls remains a major public health concern. This condition affects not only physical health but also psychological well-being and overall quality of life, necessitating a comprehensive study of its contributing factors and impacts. This study aimed to identify the factors contributing to CED and assess its impact on the health of adolescent girls. A quantitative design with a descriptive correlational approach was employed. Using stratified random sampling by grade level, 184 respondents were selected using Slovin's formula. Data were collected via standardized questionnaires, Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) measurements, and hemoglobin examinations. Data analysis used Pearson's Correlation and multiple linear regression. The prevalence of CED among adolescent girls was 60.9%. Significant factors associated with CED included knowledge, nutritional intake (energy, carbohydrates, protein, fat), sleep quality, stress, and family support (p < 0.05), which collectively accounted for 77% of the variance in CED incidence. Conversely, body image showed no significant association. Regarding health impacts, CED was significantly correlated only with self-efficacy (r = -0.270; p < 0.001); hemoglobin levels, menstrual cycles, and academic performance showed no significant associations. Nutrition education programs are needed to improve balanced dietary intake. Furthermore, strengthening the roles of families and schools is recommended to support the prevention and management of CED among adolescent girls.

Abstract

Weight Faltering in toddlers is an early indicator of nutritional status disorders that can impact a child's growth and development. This condition reflects an imbalance between nutritional intake, metabolic needs, and infectious disease factors. In Indonesia, cases of Weight Faltering in toddlers are still quite high and are a concern in efforts to improve toddler nutrition, including in the Jakarta area. The objective was to analyze factors related to the incidence of Weight Faltering in toddlers. These factors included a history of exclusive breastfeeding, dietary patterns, history of infectious diseases, and immunization history. The study used a quantitative descriptive correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population was 87 toddlers in the Jakarta area, using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through weight measurements, interviews using questionnaires, 24-hour dietary recall forms, and searches of KIA books. Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate methods. The results of the bivariate analysis showed that dietary patterns (p = 0.002) and history of infectious diseases (p = <0.001) had a significant relationship with the incidence of Weight Faltering in toddlers. Toddlers with poor diets and a history of infectious diseases are at higher risk of experiencing poor Weight Faltering . Weight Faltering in toddlers is influenced by diet and a history of infectious diseases. A history of exclusive breastfeeding and immunizations are not directly related to the incidence of poor or stable weight faltering.

Abstract

Background Smooth breast milk flow is an important factor in successful breastfeeding during the postpartum period, but in the early days after delivery, some postpartum mothers experience difficulty in breast milk flow due to lack of breast stimulation and inhibition of the oxytocin reflex. One non-pharmacological effort that can be done to increase the smoothness of breast milk flow is Woolwich Massage, a breast massage technique that aims to stimulate the milk ejection reflex. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Woolwich Massage on the smoothness of breast milk flow and the differences between the intervention group and the control group in postpartum mothers in PMB in the Kampung Melayu District, Bengkulu City. The quasi-experimental design method with a post-test only approach with a control group in 30 postpartum mothers who were divided into an intervention group and a control group. The intervention group was given Woolwich Massage for three consecutive days, while the control group was not given any intervention, then the smoothness of breast milk flow was measured on the 7th day using an observation sheet. Data were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney test. The results of the study showed that the mean rank value of smoothness of breast milk release in the intervention group was 19.33 higher than the control group of 11.67, with a p value = 0.013 (p < 0.05), which indicates a significant difference between the two groups. The conclusion of this study is that Woolwich Massage has a significant effect on smoothness of breast milk release in postpartum mothers and is proven to be more effective than without intervention and can be considered as one of the non-pharmacological interventions in midwifery services, especially in postpartum maternal care, to help improve smoothness of breast milk release.
