Abstract

Background: Children's growth encompasses stable changes in organ function, from cellular levels to overall bodily development, as well as increases in physical activity, skills, and cognitive processes. Parents' parenting styles significantly influence their child's future development. Objective: This study aims to identify the parenting styles employed by parents concerning motor development, language acquisition, and independence in preschool children at Azzamil School in Pekalongan Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. Methods: A correlational descriptive research design with a cross-sectional approach was utilized. The sample comprised 116 preschool children aged 36 to 60 months and their mothers, selected through a total population sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire designed to assess parenting styles and a Developmental Pre-Screening Questionnaire to evaluate child development. Bivariate data analysis was conducted using the chi-square test. Results: The findings revealed that 87 participants (75%) exhibited democratic parenting styles, while 89 participants (76.7%) demonstrated age-appropriate child development. The statistical analysis yielded a p-value of <0.001, indicating a statistically significant relationship (p < 0.05), with a prevalence ratio (PR) of 8.854 and a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 3.398–23.074. Conclusion: This study concludes that there is a significant relationship between parenting styles and child development. It is recommended that parents utilize nurturing approaches that foster and enhance their children's development through participation in parenting classes.

Abstract

Background: In 2020, Indonesia’s maternal mortality rate (MMR) was 189 per 100,000 live births, well above the SDGs target of 70. High-risk pregnancies significantly contribute to maternal deaths, especially in rural areas with socioeconomic challenges. Disparities in education, income, and healthcare access influence pregnant women’s health-seeking behaviors. ObjectiveThis study aimed to examine the relationship between socioeconomic determinants and pregnancy risk and to develop an evidence-based, community-focused health promotion model that addresses these socioeconomic factors in rural settings. Methods: A cross-sectional study involved 130 pregnant women in the Puskesmas Tirto 1 area, Pekalongan Regency, Central Java. Data collection used structured questionnaires, analyzed via binary logistic regression. A theoretical framework guided community-based health promotion recommendations. Results:  The analysis revealed that age, parity, education, and income collectively affected pregnancy risk (p=0.033). Individually, only income had a significant effect (p=0.039; Exp(B)=0.380; 95% CI: 0.150–0.962), indicating higher income reduces high-risk pregnancy likelihood. Age, parity, and education were not significant predictors. Conclusion: Economic factors are the strongest predictors of pregnancy risk among the variables studied. Maternal health programs in rural areas should incorporate socioeconomic-based strategies through community empowerment, improved healthcare access, and targeted health education.
