Abstract

Acute respiratory infection (ARI) is one of the diseases that often affects toddlers, especially in densely populated environments that have a high risk of transmission. Purpose: this study aims to analyze the risk factors for the occurrence of ARI in children under five who live in an environment with high population density. Methods: the method used is observational with cross-sectional design on 50 toddlers purposively selected in densely populated areas. Data collection was conducted through interviews using questionnaires and observation of Home environmental conditions. Univariate analysis was used to describe the characteristics of respondents, while bivariate analysis with chi-square test was used to determine the relationship between risk factors with the incidence of ARI. Results: the results showed that exposure to cigarette smoke in the Home (p = 0.005), inadequate ventilation (p = 0.002), and density of occupancy (p = 0.020) were significantly associated with the incidence of ARI in toddlers. Implications: the implication of this study is the need for increased family education on the importance of a healthy home environment and reduced exposure to secondhand smoke to prevent ARI. Conclusion: environmental factors and family behavior are the main determinants of ARI risk in toddlers in densely populated environments, so environmental health interventions and health education are needed.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of hemoglobin levels and motivation on students' physical fitness. This study used a quantitative approach with a correlational design and involved 60 students as respondents who were randomly selected through random sampling techniques. The variables studied consisted of hemoglobin levels measured with a hemoglobinometer, motivation levels measured using a questionnaire with a Likert scale, and physical fitness measured through physical tests which included running 1,600 meters, push-ups, and sit-ups. The results of bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between hemoglobin levels and students' physical fitness (p = 0.003). In addition, the study also showed a significant relationship between motivation and students' physical fitness (p = 0.001). Students with high motivation had better physical fitness, with most being in the good (18.3%) and moderate (16.7%) categories. The results of this study confirmed that sufficient hemoglobin and high motivation play an important role in supporting students' physical fitness. This study provides important insights into the factors that influence students' physical fitness in an educational setting.

Abstract

Infants with low birth weight (LBW) are prone to body temperature instability due to immature temperature regulation systems. Conventional care in incubators often causes mother-infant separation. Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is an innovative method that promotes closeness between mother and infant. This study aims to assess the effect of KMC on body temperature stability in LBW infants admitted to the NICU. Using a quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach, LBW infants meeting inclusion criteria were observed. Body temperature was measured before and after KMC implementation using a digital thermometer. Data analysis employed a paired t-test. Results showed that Prior to the implementation of KMC, the average body temperature of LBW infants was 36.7°C with a standard deviation of 0.159, ranging from 36.5°C to 37.2°C. After the implementation of KMC, the average body temperature increased to 37.3°C, with a standard deviation of 1.024, and a temperature range of 37.1°C to 37.5°C, with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that KMC positively affects body temperature stability in LBW infants in the NICU. KMC is a nonpharmacological alternative to incubator care that improves LBW infant outcomes. It supports temperature stability, weight gain, respiratory regulation, and enhances the mother–infant bond. Routine implementation in NICUs can lower hospitalization duration, reduce reliance on medical equipment, and cut treatment costs. Successful adoption requires trained health personnel and supportive hospital policies to make KMC a standard part of neonatal care.
