Abstract

Stunting in children is a complex health problem with long-term impacts on physical growth, cognitive development, and future individual productivity. One contributing factor to stunting is poor environmental sanitation, particularly during pregnancy. This community service activity aims to increase the knowledge and awareness of pregnant women about the importance of environmental sanitation as a preventative measure against stunting in children. The activity was carried out in Rancangkencono Village, involving 12 pregnant women as participants. The implementation method included direct counseling, group discussions, and demonstrations of basic sanitation practices such as handwashing, using healthy latrines, and managing household waste. Evaluation was conducted by comparing pretest and posttest results to measure knowledge gains. The results showed an increase in the average knowledge score of participants from 55 in the pretest to 85 in the posttest. In addition, participants demonstrated positive changes in attitudes toward implementing clean and healthy living behaviors in the home environment. Data analysis showed that a participatory and contextual educational approach can increase the understanding and motivation of pregnant women to maintain environmental cleanliness for the health of their fetus and unborn child. Environmental sanitation education has proven to be an effective strategy in preventing stunting from pregnancy, so it needs to be implemented sustainably with cross-sector support at the community level.

Abstract

Anemia is one of the major nutritional issues in Indonesia and a prevalent problem among pregnant women worldwide, with a relatively high incidence rate. Pregnant women are particularly susceptible to anemia because the increased nutritional requirements during pregnancy are crucial for both maternal health and fetal growth. Pregnancy-related anemia is defined as a hemoglobin (Hb) level less than 11 (g/dL) in the blood of pregnant women. This study aims to analyze the relationship between anemia and the occurrence of Low Birth Weight (LBW). The research was conducted in the VK Room of Sugio Primary Health Care, Lamongan Regency, over a period of 2 months in August-September 2023. The research method used was a Retrospective Observational Study with a Cross-Sectional design. Based on the Chi-Square statistical test results, the p-value was 0.025 (p-value < 0.05). In conclusion, this study found a significant association between anemia during pregnancy and the incidence of LBW.

Abstract

Personal hygiene education for adolescents during vaginal discharge needs to be taught as early as possible to prevent infectious diseases caused by poor hygiene during vaginal discharge. The purpose of this study was to determine the personal hygiene of adolescent girls with vaginal discharge. Fifty respondents met the inclusion criteria through a total sampling method. Descriptive analysis was used. The study's characteristics were age, with the majority being 13 years old. Forty-six (46%) students had poor knowledge about personal hygiene. The type of vaginal discharge identified was abnormal, with 54 respondents (54%). Limited access to information and facilitators at the educational institution contributed to this lack of knowledge among the students. Based on the study results, researchers collaborated with health agencies and schools to conduct outreach activities to improve adolescent girls' knowledge about personal hygiene during vaginal discharge.
