Abstract

Background: Delayed access to first-trimester Antenatal Care (ANC) among pregnant women in underdeveloped, frontier, and outermost (3T) regions is a significant public health issue, as it increases the risk of pregnancy complications. This study aims to analyze the socio-economic determinants associated with delayed ANC access in South Tapanuli, a 3T region in Indonesia. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 250 pregnant women selected through purposive sampling in South Tapanuli. Data were collected through structured interviews using a questionnaire covering socio-demographic variables (education, income, occupation, distance to health facilities) and ANC practices. Statistical analysis employed chi-square tests and logistic regression to identify dominant factors influencing ANC delay. Results: A total of 62.4% of respondents delayed accessing ANC in the first trimester. Significant socio-economic factors associated with delayed ANC included low income (OR=3.21; 95% CI: 1.87-5.49), low education (OR=2.45; 95% CI: 1.42-4.22), distance to health facilities >10 km (OR=4.12; 95% CI: 2.34-7.25), and lack of knowledge about ANC importance (OR=2.89; 95% CI: 1.65-5.07). Conclusion: Socio-economic factors such as income, education, geographic access, and maternal knowledge significantly influence delayed ANC access in 3T regions. Community-based interventions and equitable health service policies are needed to improve first-trimester ANC coverage.

Abstract

Practical learning is a process to improve the skills of participants by using various methods according to the skills provided and the equipment used. This type of research is descriptive analytic with a cross sectional approach. Data analysis was performed using the chi square formula. The results showed that from the results of the cross table between laboratory practicum learning and competency achievement, the majority of both categories were good, namely as many as 22 people (39.3 %), the majority category was sufficient, namely 15 people (26.8%). And the less majority category is sufficient, namely 2 students ( 3.6 %). The results of statistical tests with the Chi-Square test showed that the value of X 2 count (22.485) > (9.488) and the value of p = 0.000 < 0.05 . It means that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted, so that there is a relationship between laboratory practicum learning for the Askeb II subject and the achievement of competence level II students. The conclusion of this study is that bivariate analysis with the Chi-Square test is known to have a relationship between laboratory practicum learning for the Askeb II subject and the achievement of competence level II students.

Abstract

At the global level, the prevention of stunting is one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Indonesia is currently working towards achieving the second Sustainable Development Goal, which entails ending hunger, ensuring food security, improving nutrition, and supporting sustainable agriculture. As a part of this objective, efforts are being made to decrease the prevalence of stunting in children by 2025. Attention towards stunting is crucial as it can adversely affect children's physical and cognitive development well into adulthood if not addressed appropriately. This paper conducted a literature review from various sources, with a focus on google scholar and prioritizing sources from the last five years, as well as research on the population in Indonesia. It was determined through the analysis of several sources that maternal, child, and environmental factors pose various risks for stunting in Indonesia. Maternal factors that may play a role in child development include the mother's age, upper arm circumference, height, breastfeeding or complementary feeding practices, early initiation of breastfeeding and food quality during pregnancy. A history of low birth weight or prematurity, male sex, neonatal illness, frequent and recurrent diarrhea, infectious diseases, and lack of immunization are among the child factors associated with developmental outcomes. Factors such as living in a low socio-economic environment, limited family education, especially maternal education, insufficient household income, open defecation in rivers, gardens or inadequate latrines, consumption of untreated drinking water and high exposure to pesticides are also associated with the prevalence of stunting.

Abstract

The postpartum period begins a few hours after the birth of the placenta and continues until approximately 6 weeks after childbirth. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 830 women die every day due to complications from pregnancy and childbirth. In 2015, approximately 303,000 women died during pregnancy, childbirth, or in the postpartum period. The theme of this study is to investigate the influence of postpartum exercise on the speed of uterine involution among postpartum mothers at BPM Mona Durryah Siregar, SKM in North Padangsidimpuan District. This study utilized a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest only design. The research was conducted at BPM Mona Durryah Siregar, SKM in North Padangsidimpuan District. The population consisted of 10 postpartum mothers, with a sample size of 10. Data analysis included univariate and bivariate analyses. The results of the study showed a significant decrease in uterine fundus height among the 10 respondents, with a percentage of 2.70%. None of the respondents experienced subinvolution after the postpartum exercise intervention. However, 10 respondents faced challenges in decreasing uterine fundus height both before and after the intervention. The Wilcoxon ρ-value test of 0.004 indicates that postpartum exercise influences the speed of uterine involution among postpartum mothers. The implications of this study suggest that implementing postpartum exercise therapy can accelerate uterine involution among postpartum mothers. It is recommended that these findings be used to develop counseling programs related to postpartum exercise at BPM Mona Durryah Siregar, SKM.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the level of microplastic contamination in the coastal waters of Southeast Asia and evaluate its impact on marine ecosystems and human health. Data were collected from various coastal locations in Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines, using standard water and sediment sampling methods. Laboratory analysis was conducted to identify and measure microplastic concentrations. The results indicate that all surveyed locations were contaminated with microplastics at varying concentrations. Microplastics were found in significant amounts in surface water, sediments, and marine organisms such as fish and shellfish. The study also explores the potential impacts of microplastics on marine ecosystems, including disruptions to the food chain and the potential for bioaccumulation of harmful substances in marine organisms. Additionally, the potential health risks for humans consuming seafood contaminated with microplastics were evaluated. These findings highlight a serious threat to both marine ecosystems and human health in Southeast Asia. The study underscores the urgent need for actions to reduce the use of single-use plastics and improve plastic waste management to protect marine ecosystems and public health. Furthermore, it recommends increasing public awareness and implementing stricter policies related to plastic waste management to reduce microplastic contamination in coastal environments.
