Abstract

The nutritional status in the first 1000 days of life is very important. WHO and UNICEF recommend that newborn babies should only be breastfed for at least six months, so that babies can grow and develop optimally. The recommendation has been applied, but the failure of exclusive breastfeeding still occurs. This study aimed to analyze the determinants of exclusive breastfeeding of not working mothers in the work area of Oesapa Public Health Center, Kelapa Lima subdistrict in 2019. This is a quantitative study with cross-sectional study design. This research was conducted in the work area of Oesapa Public Health Center with a sample of 61 babies. Data analysis used the Chi-Square test and multiple logistic regression tests. The results showed that the variables of mother’s knowledge (ρ= 0,001), mother’s trust (ρ= 0,024), family’s support (ρ= 0,000), and health care provider’s support (ρ= 0,028) are related to exclusive breastfeeding, but mothers’ age (ρ= 0.257) and information exposure (ρ= 1,000) are not related to exclusive breastfeeding. The factor of family’s support (ρ= 0,001) and mother’s knowledge (ρ= 0,005) had the highest correlation with exclusive breastfeeding. The mothers' level of knowledge also had a major contribution to the success of exclusive breastfeeding. To achieve exclusive breastfeeding success, mothers need support from the family (especially husband) and complete information from health workers so the mothers’ knowledge can be improved. The health centers need to utilize various health promotion media to increase the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding.

Abstract

The low level of public nutrition knowledge related to a balanced diet, a good diet, the presence of poor nutrition areas, and the low level of energy and protein adequacy are the causes of nutritional problems in Indonesia. Children under five years old (toddlers) are included in the vulnerable age group, so they need serious attention in efforts to fulfill their nutritional intake. This study described the energy consumption, protein, and nutritional status of toddlers in the orphanage assisted by the Social Service of Kupang City. This type of research was descriptive quantitative with a cross-sectional study approach. The sampling technique in this study used total sampling so that the total population was the same as the number of samples, namely 34 toddlers. The results showed that the highest energy and protein consumption level was in the deficit and normal category, respectively (59%&41%). Nutritional status based on weight/age and height/age index was in the normal category (94% dan 74%). The weight/height index was in a suitable category (88%). Paying more attention to the nutrition of children under five in orphanages is necessary. The orphanage is expected to play an active role in increasing their attention to the level of energy consumption of toddlers by arranging a balanced nutritional menu so that the energy needs of the toddlers can be fulfilled. In addition, the aid provider, either permanent or non-permanent donors or the community, is expected not to assist the orphanage only during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract

HIV-AIDS is a dangerous disease in society. In Indonesia, people living with HIV-AIDS are still considered a disgrace, so that stigma appears in society which makes people living with HIV feel pessimistic in living their lives, mentally and psychologically being depressed by the stigma. The purpose of this study was to determine the knowledge, attitudes, and actions of PLWHA on the stigma of HIV-AIDS in Kupang City in 2019. The research design used in this study was descriptive qualitative. The research was conducted by in-depth interviews with 6 informants using interview guidelines. The results showed that the informants had good knowledge about stigma because the informants had understood correctly that the bad treatment from family, neighbors, and health workers that the informants had received in their daily life was a stigma. Informants try to accept the stigma from neighbors and health workers positively because they are supported by the closest people and choose to continue taking treatment at health facilities for the survival of PLWHA. People living with HIV-AIDS continue to take ARVs and carry out activities like society in general. The hope of PLWHA related to stigma in this study is to reduce stigma and increase knowledge about HIV/AIDS and increase awareness of the health team and the community about the importance of caring for people with HIV-AIDS.
