Abstract

Malnutrition among toddlers remains a public health challenge, particularly in areas with limited access to nutritious food. One potential approach to address this issue is the utilization of locally available, nutrient-rich foods such as moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera). This study aimed to analyze the effect of moringa leaf pudding on improving the nutritional status of undernourished toddlers in the working area of UPTD Simpang Kiri Primary Health Center, Aceh Tamiang District. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest and posttest control group was employed. The sample consisted of 30 undernourished toddlers divided into an intervention group (moringa leaf pudding) and a control group (pudding without moringa leaves), with 15 toddlers in each group. The intervention was administered for 14 days. Nutritional status was assessed using the weight-for-age (WFA) Z-score based on WHO standards. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test and the Mann–Whitney U test. The results indicated an increase in average body weight in both groups after the intervention. The Wilcoxon test showed significant differences before and after the intervention in the intervention group (p=0.001) and the control group (p=0.017). However, the Mann–Whitney U test revealed that the difference in nutritional status improvement between the two groups was not statistically significant (p>0.05). In conclusion, moringa leaf pudding did not show a statistically significant effect on improving the nutritional status of toddlers within a 14-day intervention period, although it demonstrates potential as a locally based supplementary food.

Abstract

Angka Kematian Ibu masih menjadi masalah kesehatan utama, sehingga program Keluarga Berencana menjadi salah satu upaya penting dalam mencegah kehamilan berisiko melalui penggunaan kontrasepsi. Pemerintah mendorong penggunaan metode kontrasepsi jangka panjang (MKJP) karena lebih efektif dan berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan pemilihan MKJP pada akseptor KB di Puskesmas Banda Baro Kabupaten Aceh Utara. Penelitian ini merupakan studi analitik dengan desain cross sectional. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji chi-square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas responden memiliki pengetahuan kurang tentang MKJP sebesar 40%, tidak mendapat dukungan suami sebesar 69,2%, tidak mendapat dukungan tenaga kesehatan sebesar 67,7%, serta sebagian besar tidak menggunakan MKJP sebesar 81,5%. Uji statistik menunjukkan adanya hubungan antara pengetahuan (p=0,029), dukungan suami (p=0,000), dan dukungan tenaga kesehatan (p=0,000) dengan penggunaan MKJP (p<0,05). Rendahnya penggunaan MKJP dipengaruhi oleh kurangnya pengetahuan serta minimnya dukungan sosial. Kesimpulannya, terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara pengetahuan, dukungan suami, dan tenaga kesehatan dengan penggunaan MKJP pada akseptor KB.

Abstract

Dysmenorrhea is one of the most common reproductive health problems experienced by adolescent girls and may have a negative impact on quality of life, daily activities, and academic performance. Menstrual pain that is not properly managed can lead to physical and psychological disturbances, including fatigue, decreased concentration, and school absenteeism. Several factors are known to contribute to the occurrence and severity of dysmenorrhea, particularly Body Mass Index (BMI) and anemia status, both of which are closely related to nutritional status and physiological balance during adolescence. This study aimed to examine the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and anemia status with the level of dysmenorrhea pain among adolescent girls. A cross-sectional study design was employed and conducted at a public senior high school in West Aceh Regency in May 2025. A total of 138 female students from grades X and XI were selected using purposive sampling. The independent variables were BMI and anemia status, while the dependent variable was the level of dysmenorrhea pain measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses, with the Chi-square test applied to assess the associations between variables. The results showed that the majority of respondents had a normal BMI (57.2%), although a considerable proportion had abnormal BMI, including underweight and overweight categories. In addition, more than half of the respondents experienced moderate anemia (51.4%). Bivariate analysis revealed a statistically significant association between BMI and the level of dysmenorrhea pain (p-value = 0.002). Furthermore, a significant relationship was also found between anemia status and dysmenorrhea pain severity (p-value = 0.001). These findings indicate that adolescent girls with abnormal BMI and anemia tend to experience more severe dysmenorrhea pain. In conclusion, Body Mass Index and anemia status play an important role in influencing the severity of dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls in West Aceh Regency.
