Mothers perception of the notion of stunting was limited to physical appearance only, such as small figure of children, slow growth, short stature, thinness, weakness, and malnutrition.The impact is prone to illness, weakness, lack of enthusiasm, laziness to move, physical disabilities and reduced children's grasping power. Direct causes of stunting in children not breastfed, not immunized, worms, malnutrition, mothers not consuming nutritious food during pregnancy, premature birth and genetic factors. Efforts to prevent and control stunting byproviding nutritious food and marungga vegetables, routine health checks, exclusive breastfeeding, posyandu, and inviting children to do activities. Informants did not state that environmental factors such asclean water and sanitation is a indirect cause of stunting in children.

Abstract

Background: Partnership with local head villages to deliver maternal and child health (MCH) education is considered necessary, as the availability of health professional is limited in rural remote area. While the head villages could be viewed as credible, they have rarely been involved as a health communicator in their villages. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the difference of the knowledge level of the heads of family (husband) after attending MCH education delivered by the head village and midwife. Methods: The research method applied was quasi experiment with non-equivalent control design conducted in two remote villages in Timor Tengah Selatan District. The population was all heads of the family (husband) living in two selected villages, with a total of 920. The sample of 60 men was selected purposively. The experiment and control group consisted of 25 and 35 men, respectively. Data were analyzed using t-test dependent and t-test independent. Results: The result showed that 1. Both MCH education delivered by the head village and midwife increased the level of knowledge of husband with the value of (ρ) 0,00 <(ɑ) 0,05; 2. The head village and midwife were equally effective as communicators in increasing the knowledge level of husbands about MCH with the value of (ρ) 0,245 >ɑ (0,05). Conclusion: Both the village head and the midwife can be educators in increasing the knowledge of MCH among husbands. Thus, the village head could also be empowered as an alternative MCH communicator.

Abstract

Stunting is a health problem in Indonesia, with the prevalence of stunting in children under five reaching 30.8%. Stunting is a condition of failure of growth and development of children under five due to a lack of nutritional intake for a long time. Stunting is caused by the provision of food that is not following nutritional needs so that the child grows too short for his age. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors associated with the incidence of stunting in the working area of ​​the Palla Community Health Center, Southwest Sumba Regency. This type of research was an analytic survey with a case-control study design, carried out from December 2020-January 2021. The sample size in this study was divided into two, namely 48 case respondents and 48 control respondents. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate. The results showed that variables, namely parents' income level, mother's education level, mother's level of knowledge, history of infectious disease, and consumption pattern, were associated with stunting incidence (p-value<0.05) in the working area Palla Community Health Center. Therefore, an active role from families of children under five, especially mothers, and the role of health workers in stunting prevention efforts is necessary to curb stunting.

Abstract

WHO shows that in 2015 there were about 1.3 billion people in the world suffering from hypertension. Riskesdas 2018 reports the percentage of hypertension nationally in Indonesia in adults or people aged over 18 years reaching 34.1%. This study aims to analyze the risk factors associated with the incidence of hypertension in the productive age (20-59 years) in the working area of ​​the Sikumana Health Center in 2020. This type of research is a quantitative study with a case-control study design. The case population in this study were all hypertensive patients of productive age recorded in the medical records of the Sikumana Health Center while the control population in this study were non-hypertensive patients recorded in the medical records who were neighbors of the case group. The sampling technique used is simple random sampling with a sample size of 84 people. The data analysis carried out was univariate analysis and bivariate analysis using a chi-square statistical test. The results of this study indicate that the risk factors associated with the incidence of hypertension in productive age (20-59 years) are genetic (p=0.000), obesity (p=0.001), stress (p=0.000), physical activity (p=0.000) ) and sodium (p=0.000), while the risk factors that were not associated with the incidence of hypertension in this study were gender (p=0.501) and smoking (p=1,000). People are expected to adopt a healthy lifestyle such as maintaining ideal body weight, doing regular physical activity or sports, managing stress, and reducing excess salt consumption. Keywords: hypertension, risk factors, productive age(20-59 years).

Abstract

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis that can be transmitted by spraying it with sputum. The fight against TB in Indonesia started with the DOTS system in 1995. Puskesmas Boru has a fluctuating incidence of TB cases, up to 14 cases in 2018, 16 cases in 2019, and 15 cases in 2015. This study aimed to determine the implementation of the TB control program with DOTS strategy in the age of the COVID-19 pandemic at the Boru Health Center. This type of research is qualitative research with a phenomenological approach. This study has ten informants, namely the East Flores Regency P2P health service officers; Boru Health Center directors; Boru Health Center TB program owners; Boru Health Center laboratory directors; Drug Administration Supervisors; and patients in treatment. The results showed that implementing the DOTS strategy in the Boru Health Center had not gone optimally. This is evident from the unavailability of rapid molecular test kits at the Boru Health Center, and many suspects are afraid to do a sputum test due to the Covid-19 problems. It is hoped that the East Flores District Health Department and Boru Health Center will increase skilled health workers and provide socialization for TB suspects and patients related to the COVID-19 situation around anxiety and review readiness.

HIV-AIDS disease can be prevented by being faithful to a sex partner and using condoms during sexual intercourse. "Men who have sex with men" or MSM community is one of the populations at risk of contributing to HIV-AIDS disease due to having anal sex and low preventive behavior. This research aims to find out the relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and preventive measures to the incidence of HIV-AIDS in the MSM community in Oebobo. This research was quantitative with a cross-sectional study design. The population in this research was 410 people in the MSM community located in Oebobo. The sample was determined using a proportional sampling technique with 78 people as a sample number. The data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate with a chi-square test. The results showed that 60.87% of respondents had less knowledge, 75% with negative attitudes, and 78.27% of respondents did not take precautions against the incidence of HIV-AIDS. The incidence of HIV-AIDS can be decreased with better knowledge (95% CI =63.90 to 71.60; p=0.042), positive attitudes (95% CI =75.86 to 80.70; p=0.005), and preventive actions (95% CI =59.62 to 73.70; p=0.002). Health promotion must be carried out continuously and precautions are needed to reduce the risk of HIV-AIDS transmission.
