Abstract

Introduction: Uric acid the end product of purine catabolism in the human body. The cause of increased uric acid levels is influenced by various factors including alcohol, genetics, hypothyroidism, obesity, and a diet high in purines. Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by increased blood sugar, which is caused by an imbalance between blood supply and the need to increase glucose into cells to make it available for cell metabolism and growth. The decrease or absence of insulin makes glucose stuck in the blood and causes blood sugar to increase, while cells lack glucose which is needed for cell survival and function. Objective: To determine the relationship between blood uric acid and fasting blood sugar levels in the Academic Community of the Bengkulu Ministry of Health Polytechnic. Methods: The design of this study was observational with a cross sectional design. This research was conducted on May 8-19, 2023. Sampling in this research will be conducted at the Bengkulu Ministry of Health Polytechnic. Data collection techniques use secondary data. The data collected was then processed and analyzed using Univariate analysis to find out the average frequency distribution of each variable and a data normality test was performed between uric acid levels and fasting blood sugar levels, and bivariate analysis using the Pearson correlation test. Results: There was no significant relationship between uric acid levels and fasting blood sugar levels in the Academic Community of the Bengkulu Ministry of Health Polytechnic in 2022 (p=-0.051). There is no relationship between uric acid levels in men and women with fasting blood sugar levels of the Academic Community at the Bengkulu Ministry of Health Polytechnic in 2022 (p=0.872) and (p=0.470). Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between uric acid levels and fasting blood sugar levels in the Academic Community of the Bengkulu Ministry of Health Poltekkes in 2022.

Abstract

Background: Children under two years old go through a rapid physical growth period, requiring the highest nutritional intake compared to other age groups. However, infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices are often suboptimal, leading to nutritional and health problems. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the determinants of IYCF practices in Bengkulu Province. Methods: The study used a cross-sectional design from the 2017 IDHS data. The sample was women of childbearing age 15-49 years who had children aged 6-24 months, as many as 73 children with a stratified two-stage sampling technique. Data analysis using proportion difference test with chi-square test and multivariate binary logistic regression. Results: This study found that in 83.9% of urban areas and 91.5% of rural areas, the practice of IYCF is not by the recommendations. There is no difference in IYCF practice between urban and rural areas. Factors related to the practice of IYCF are pregnancy planning and antenatal care (ANC) quantity. Unplanned pregnancies had a risk of 4.8 times (p-value=0.04) the practice of IYCF was not as recommended compared to the intended pregnancies. The quantity of antenatal care that was not at risk was 4.8 times the practice of IYCF was not as recommended compared to the quantity of good ANC (p-value=0.05). Conclusions: Pregnancy planning needs to be educational material for young women, and an increase in efforts to increase knowledge of pregnant women about IYCF during antenatal care through nutrition counseling programs or classes for pregnant women in health facilities.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is the growth retardation that occurs in children as a result of chronic malnutrition, recurrent infections, and persistent psychological and social stress. 88 toddlers in Bengkulu City experienced stunting with a prevalence of 0.86%. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Audio Barcode Monitoring Book (Dicotobook) media on maternal behavior in the early detection of stunting. Methods: This study used a quasi-experiment design with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The sample in this study was breastfeeding mothers, totalling 30 people in the intervention group and 30 in the control group using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis in this study used the Wilcoxon signed rank test, the Mann-Whitney test, and the Analysis of Covariance test. Results: The statistical test results showed differences in mothers' average knowledge, attitudes, and actions before and after education using Dicotobook media (intervention group) (p-value 0.001) and leaflet (control group) (p-value 0.001). Education with Dicotobook media is more effective in increasing knowledge (p-value 0.004), attitudes (p-value 0.009), and actions (p-value 0.016) in the early detection of stunting risk after controlling for factors such as maternal education, maternal occupation, and distance to health facilities. Conclusion: Dicotobook media is a very suitable educational media that can motivate improvement in knowledge, attitudes, and actions in the early detection of stunting risk. This Dicotobook media can be used as an alternative to provide education to the public.

Abstract

ABSTRAK Angka stunting di Indonesia terus menunjukkan penurunan signifikan, dari 27,7% pada tahun 2019 menjadi 19,8% pada tahun 2024, namun masih terdapat kesenjangan antarwilayah dengan prevalensi tinggi di beberapa provinsi. Salah satu faktor penyebabnya adalah rendahnya pengetahuan dan keterampilan orang tua serta kader posyandu dalam pemenuhan gizi anak, khususnya dalam pengolahan bahan pangan lokal untuk Pemberian Makanan Tambahan (PMT). Pelatihan dan pendampingan pemanfaatan bahan pangan lokal menjadi strategi efektif untuk meningkatkan kemampuan tersebut sekaligus mendorong kemandirian pangan keluarga. Melalui optimalisasi potensi pangan lokal yang melimpah, kegiatan ini diharapkan dapat memperkuat peran masyarakat dalam upaya pencegahan dan penanganan stunting secara berkelanjutan di Indonesia. Meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan orang tua serta kader posyandu dalam mengolah bahan pangan lokal menjadi PMT pemulihan bagi anak stunting serta mendukung pemenuhan gizi balita secara mandiri dan berkelanjutan, serta berkontribusi dalam menurunkan prevalensi stuntingdi tingkat keluarga dan masyarakat. Kegiatan dalam bentuk pelatihan, pendampingan dan lomba kreasi cipta menu bahan pangan lokal untuk anak stunting. Hasil: kegiatan pelatihan dan pendampingan pemberian PMT 90 hari menunjukkan hasil 4 balita berat badan normal, 2 balita berisiko gizi lebih dan 2 balita dengan gizi kurang. 1 Balita dengan penyakit infeksi telah dilakukan rujukan ke RS. Pelatihan dan pendampingan pemanfaatan bahan pangan lokal efektif meningkatkan pengetahuan, keterampilan, dan kemandirian orang tua serta kader dalam pembuatan PMT bergizi seimbang bagi anak stunting. Kegiatan ini berkontribusi nyata terhadap perbaikan status gizi anak dan percepatan penurunan angka stunting di masyarakat. Kata Kunci: Pelatihan, Pendampingan, Kader, Orangtua, PMT, Bahan Pangan Lokal, Stunting.  ABSTRACT The stunting rate in Indonesia continues to show a significant decline, from 27.7% in 2019 to 19.8% in 2024. However, disparities remain between regions, with high prevalence in several provinces. One contributing factor is the low knowledge and skills of parents and integrated health post (Posyandu) cadres in meeting children's nutritional needs, particularly in processing local food ingredients for supplementary feeding (PMT). Training and mentoring in the use of local food ingredients is an effective strategy to improve these skills while encouraging family food self-sufficiency. By optimizing the abundant potential of local food, this activity is expected to strengthen the role of communities in sustainable stunting prevention and management efforts in Indonesia. Increasing the knowledge and skills of parents and integrated health post (posyandu) cadres in processing local food ingredients into recovery PMT for stunted children and supporting the fulfillment of toddler nutrition independently and sustainably, as well as contributing to reducing the prevalence of stunting at the family and community level. Activities in the form of training, mentoring and competitions to create local food menus for stunted children. 90-day PMT training and mentoring activities showed results for 4 toddlers with normal weight, 2 toddlers at risk of overnutrition, and 2 toddlers with malnutrition. One toddler with an infectious disease was referred to the hospital. Training and mentoring on the use of local food ingredients effectively increases the knowledge, skills, and independence of parents and cadres in preparing nutritionally balanced PMT for stunted children. This activity significantly contributes to improving children's nutritional status and accelerating the reduction of stunting rates in the community. Keywords: Training, Mentoring, Cadres, Parents, PMT, Local Food Ingredients, Stunting.

Abstract

ABSTRAKLatar Belakang: Vitamin A sangat penting untuk pertumbuhan dan ketahanan tubuh terhadap penyakit. Kekurangannya dapat menyebabkan kebutaan yang dapat dicegah dan meningkatkan tingkat morbiditas dan kematian, terutama pada balita. Di Indonesia, cakupan suplementasi vitamin A masih relatif rendah (76,68%). Di Provinsi Bengkulu, prevalensi kekurangan vitamin A terendah ditemukan di Kota Bengkulu. Sekitar 10-15% anak Indonesia di bawah usia lima tahun menderita kekurangan vitamin A. Metode: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas literasi gizi menggunakan buku saku tentang pengetahuan dan sikap ibu terkait suplementasi vitamin A untuk balita. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kuasi-eksperimental dengan pendekatan pretest-posttest satu kelompok. Sampel terdiri dari 60 ibu (30 pada kelompok intervensi dan 30 pada kelompok kontrol), dipilih secara sengaja dari 772 orang tua yang hadir di Posyandu (posko pelayanan kesehatan terpadu) di kawasan Puskesmas Sawah Lebar pada Mei 2024. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner pre-test dan post-test intervensi, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan uji chi-kuadrat dan regresi logistik multivariat. Hasil: Temuan penelitian menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan dan sikap yang signifikan pada kedua kelompok setelah intervensi (p-value<0,001), meskipun perbedaan antar kelompok tidak signifikan secara statistik. Kelompok intervensi yang menggunakan pocketbook menunjukkan peningkatan rata-rata yang sedikit lebih tinggi dalam pengetahuan dan sikap. Kesimpulan: Literasi gizi melalui penggunaan dompet efektif dalam meningkatkan pengetahuan dan sikap ibu terhadap suplementasi vitamin A dan berpotensi mendukung keberhasilan program vitamin A di masyarakat.KATA KUNCI: balita, literasi gizi, vitamin AABSTRACTIntroduction:  Vitamin A is essential for growth and the body’s resistance to disease. Its deficiency can lead to preventable blindness and increase morbidity and mortality rates, especially among toddlers. In Indonesia, the coverage of vitamin A supplementation remains relatively low (76.68%), and in Bengkulu Province, the lowest prevalence of vitamin A deficiency is found in the city. Approximately 10–15% of Indonesian children under the age of five suffer from vitamin A deficiency. Methods: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of nutritional literacy using a pocketbook on mothers' knowledge and attitudes regarding vitamin A supplementation for toddlers. The research used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample consisted of 60 mothers (30 in the intervention group and 30 in the control group), selected purposively from 772 parents attending the Posyandu (integrated health service post) in the Sawah Lebar Community Health Center area in May 2024. Data was collected via pre- and post-intervention questionnaires, then analyzed using chi-square and multivariate logistic regression tests.Results:  The results showed a significant improvement in knowledge and attitudes in both groups after the intervention (p = 0.000), although the difference between the groups was not statistically significant. The intervention group that used the pocketbook demonstrated a slightly higher average increase in knowledge and attitudes.Conclusion:  Nutritional literacy through the use of pocketbooks is effective in improving maternal knowledge and attitudes toward vitamin A supplementation and has the potential to support the success of vitamin A programs in the community.KEYWORDS:  nutritional literacy, toddlers, vitamin A
