Abstract

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection has remained a global health problem. Around 2 billion people worldwide are infected, and more than 257 million are categorized as chronic patients with a risk of developing progressive liver diseases, such as cirrhosis, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. In 2013, East Nusa Tenggara province had the most hepatitis B cases in Indonesia. Several factors cause a lack of information on HBV prevalence in the general population. First, they are inadequate disease surveillance systems with a high possibility of some acute and chronic infections being unreported. Second, geographical barriers to achieving suitable and sufficient data collection, considering the total population of 250 million people distributed in more than 17,000 islands. Third, the limited testing facilities for detecting chronic HBV resulted in many people being undiagnosed. This study was conducted to discover the prevalence of hepatitis B in healthy populations. It was a cross-sectional study with a random sampling method from April 2016 to March 2020 in Kupang city, East Nusa Tenggara. Subjects are prison inmates, pregnant women, primary school students, high school students, health workers, orphanage children, and families who live under the same roof with hepatitis B patients. We screened 11,152 subjects for HBsAg positivity using the ELISA and rapid detection tests. We found that 1,490 subjects (13.4%) were reactive to HBsAg. This HBsAg-positive prevalence stood far above the national rate of 7.1% in 2013, meaning that Kupang city is a region with high hepatitis B endemicity. Therefore, the local government should develop prevention strategies, diagnosis, post-infection management, and effective treatment, including mass vaccination programs for at-risk groups.

Abstract

Stunting is a condition of growth failure in infants (0-11 months) and toddlers (12-59 months) due to chronic malnutrition, especially during the first 1,000 days of life, resulting in children being too short for their age. Poor environmental sanitation can cause infectious diseases in toddlers, which can disrupt the digestive process in nutrient absorption and may lead to long-term stunting. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between environmental sanitation factors and the incidence of stunting in toddlers. This observational analytical study used a case-control approach. The sample consisted of toddlers living in the Liliba Sub-district, totaling 74 toddlers: 37 cases (stunted) and 37 controls (not stunted). The research variables were wastewater management, availability of latrines, and handwashing habits. Data were collected by interview using questionnaire. The analytical test that will be used is the chi-square test. Data analysis was conducted using the chi-square test. The research results indicate a significant relationship between wastewater management (p=0.011), availability of toilets (p=0.040), and handwashing habits (p=0.011) with the incidence of stunting. Given the link between household wastewater management, toilet availability, handwashing habits, and the occurrence of stunting.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is still a major public health problem in the world.  It is estimated that one-third of the world's population has been infected with TB germs. Factors that cause TB include knowledge, behavior, home environmental conditions and other factors, where all these factors are interrelated, making the TB problem increasingly complex, prevention and intervention steps that must be taken.  For this reason, this study was conducted with the aim of determining the factors that influence the incidence of Tuberculosis in Kupang City.  This analytical observational study was conducted with a case-control study design. Kupang City was chosen because TB cases are still high in NTT Province.  The study period was June–September 2021 with a sample of cases being TB patients undergoing treatment, namely 75 TB patients and 75 non-TB patients as a control group.  Data were collected through direct interviews. Analysis was carried out univariately and bivariately with the chi square test. This study found that factors related to the incidence of tuberculosis were knowledge (p 0.049), smoking behavior and number of cigarettes per day (p 0.000), room density (p 0.035), and room lighting (p 0.0009). Therefore, it is necessary to provide more education to the community about how it is transmitted, how to prevent and how to treat it, as well as counseling about the impact of smoking, especially in relation to the risk of tuberculosis.  It is also important to provide counseling on healthy homes, especially by reducing residential density (or increasing the size of the house) and arranging the house so that sunlight can enter the house directly in the morning. Protection is needed against smoke caused by wood and kerosene, especially for breathing and especially tuberculosis.

Abstract

ABSTRAK Angka stunting di Indonesia terus menunjukkan penurunan signifikan, dari 27,7% pada tahun 2019 menjadi 19,8% pada tahun 2024, namun masih terdapat kesenjangan antarwilayah dengan prevalensi tinggi di beberapa provinsi. Salah satu faktor penyebabnya adalah rendahnya pengetahuan dan keterampilan orang tua serta kader posyandu dalam pemenuhan gizi anak, khususnya dalam pengolahan bahan pangan lokal untuk Pemberian Makanan Tambahan (PMT). Pelatihan dan pendampingan pemanfaatan bahan pangan lokal menjadi strategi efektif untuk meningkatkan kemampuan tersebut sekaligus mendorong kemandirian pangan keluarga. Melalui optimalisasi potensi pangan lokal yang melimpah, kegiatan ini diharapkan dapat memperkuat peran masyarakat dalam upaya pencegahan dan penanganan stunting secara berkelanjutan di Indonesia. Meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan orang tua serta kader posyandu dalam mengolah bahan pangan lokal menjadi PMT pemulihan bagi anak stunting serta mendukung pemenuhan gizi balita secara mandiri dan berkelanjutan, serta berkontribusi dalam menurunkan prevalensi stuntingdi tingkat keluarga dan masyarakat. Kegiatan dalam bentuk pelatihan, pendampingan dan lomba kreasi cipta menu bahan pangan lokal untuk anak stunting. Hasil: kegiatan pelatihan dan pendampingan pemberian PMT 90 hari menunjukkan hasil 4 balita berat badan normal, 2 balita berisiko gizi lebih dan 2 balita dengan gizi kurang. 1 Balita dengan penyakit infeksi telah dilakukan rujukan ke RS. Pelatihan dan pendampingan pemanfaatan bahan pangan lokal efektif meningkatkan pengetahuan, keterampilan, dan kemandirian orang tua serta kader dalam pembuatan PMT bergizi seimbang bagi anak stunting. Kegiatan ini berkontribusi nyata terhadap perbaikan status gizi anak dan percepatan penurunan angka stunting di masyarakat. Kata Kunci: Pelatihan, Pendampingan, Kader, Orangtua, PMT, Bahan Pangan Lokal, Stunting.  ABSTRACT The stunting rate in Indonesia continues to show a significant decline, from 27.7% in 2019 to 19.8% in 2024. However, disparities remain between regions, with high prevalence in several provinces. One contributing factor is the low knowledge and skills of parents and integrated health post (Posyandu) cadres in meeting children's nutritional needs, particularly in processing local food ingredients for supplementary feeding (PMT). Training and mentoring in the use of local food ingredients is an effective strategy to improve these skills while encouraging family food self-sufficiency. By optimizing the abundant potential of local food, this activity is expected to strengthen the role of communities in sustainable stunting prevention and management efforts in Indonesia. Increasing the knowledge and skills of parents and integrated health post (posyandu) cadres in processing local food ingredients into recovery PMT for stunted children and supporting the fulfillment of toddler nutrition independently and sustainably, as well as contributing to reducing the prevalence of stunting at the family and community level. Activities in the form of training, mentoring and competitions to create local food menus for stunted children. 90-day PMT training and mentoring activities showed results for 4 toddlers with normal weight, 2 toddlers at risk of overnutrition, and 2 toddlers with malnutrition. One toddler with an infectious disease was referred to the hospital. Training and mentoring on the use of local food ingredients effectively increases the knowledge, skills, and independence of parents and cadres in preparing nutritionally balanced PMT for stunted children. This activity significantly contributes to improving children's nutritional status and accelerating the reduction of stunting rates in the community. Keywords: Training, Mentoring, Cadres, Parents, PMT, Local Food Ingredients, Stunting.
