Abstract

Hemodialysis patients experience changes in all aspects of their life, particularly due to fluid and dietary restrictions. Excessive interdialytic weight gain and malnutrition are common problems that negatively impact the increase of morbidity and mortality in these patients, as well as a decrease in their quality of life. This research aims to determine the relationship between interdialytic weight gain and nutritional status with the quality of life of chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang. 102 patients were involved in this cross-sectional study, and they were taken by purposive sampling. IDWG data was collected using The Interdialytic Weight Gain (IDWG) observation sheet, nutritional status was identified using the Dialysis Malnutrition Score (DMS), and quality of life was assessed using The Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form-36 (KDQOL-36TM). The data analysis used in this study is Fisher Exact test. Based on The Fisher Exact test, there is a relationship between IDWG and quality of life (p=0.048). The results of statistical analysis also showed a relationship between nutritional status and quality of life (p=0.047). Most patients had IDWG in the mild category, good nutritional status, and poor quality of life based on KDQOL-36TM. This study concludes a relationship between interdialytic weight gain and nutritional status with the quality of life of patients undergoing hemodialysis. It is recommended that health workers in hemodialysis units monitor interdialysis weight gain regularly and conduct routine nutritional screenings to prevent a decrease in quality of life.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, including in Banyuasin Regency, a priority area for stunting prevention. Sungai Gerong Village in Banyuasin I District reports a relatively high prevalence of stunting among toddlers. This study aimed to explore the determinants of stunting in this village. A qualitative descriptive design was employed to examine behavioral and environmental factors contributing to stunting. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 10 key informants, comprising four health workers and community leaders and six mothers of stunted toddlers. The study explored environmental conditions, child feeding practices, parenting patterns, and household food security. Dietary intake was assessed using a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), and household food security was measured using the Food Consumption Score (FCS).The findings revealed that most toddlers lived in inadequate environmental conditions and consumed predominantly high-carbohydrate diets with low intake of vegetables and animal protein. Three households were classified as food insecure. Parenting practices were suboptimal, particularly regarding appropriate feeding practices and cognitive stimulation. Poor sanitation, limited dietary diversity, inadequate caregiving practices, and restricted household food access were identified as key contributing factors.These findings suggest that stunting in Sungai Gerong Village is driven by multidimensional factors requiring integrated interventions. Policy and practical efforts should focus on strengthening nutrition education for caregivers, improving sanitation infrastructure, enhancing access to diverse and affordable nutritious foods, and reinforcing community-based nutrition services. Cross-sectoral collaboration is essential to sustainably reduce stunting prevalence in this area.
