Abstract

The family has an important role to fulfill the nutritional requirements for their children. As changes in the family life cycle develop, every step involved in the tasks of family development is influenced by family interconnectedness. The objective of this study was to identify the correlation between family connectedness and nutritional status among under-five children in Public Health Center of Panti, Jember Regency of Indonesia. A cross-sectional sectional study was conducted among 307 families who have children aged 2-5 years using consecutive sampling. A self-administered questionnaire was used to measure sociodemographics of the parents and their under-five children, while the Parent-Child Relationship Questionnaire was use to assess the quality of family connectedness. Standing scales were used to measure the body weight of the under-five children. A chi-square test was used to analyze the data. The results showed that among 307 parents, the family connectedness of parents and nutritional status of under five children were in the moderate (63.8%) category and good nutrition (58.6%) status, respectively. There was a significant relationship between family connectedness and nutritional status among <five aged children (X2=8,679;  p-value = 0.013). These results demonstrate there is a relationship between family connectedness with the nutritional status of children 2-5 years old. Further research is recommended to analyze other variables that can affect the nutritional status of under–five children.

Abstract

Low consumption of vegetables and fruits are one of the causes of digestive problems, coronary heart disease, and diabetes. Farmers are a vulnerable group for consuming vegetables and fruit less than the recommended 5 portions (250 grams) a day. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between vegetable and fruit consumption and the level of blood sugar among farmers with non-communicable diseases in the integrated health post (Posbindu) of Pakusari Health Center, Jember Regency. A retrospective cohort study design was used to analyze secondary data of Posbindu registered patients from January to March 2020 among 140 farmers. The characteristics of participants, vegetable and fruit consumption, and blood sugar were measured through the monitoring card of Posbindu. The data were analyzed using Chi-square tests (p-value <0.05). Among 140 farmers as many as 71.4% were identified who consumed vegetables and fruit less than 5 portions a day and 35.7% who have hyperglycemia. There was a relationship between vegetable and fruit consumption and the farmer's blood sugar level (p-value: <0.001; χ2: 13.144). Farmers who consumed vegetables and fruits less than 5 portions a day were 5 times more likely to experience hyperglycemia (RR:5.727; 95% CI=2.072–15.827). Therefore, community health nurses and health care providers should provide counseling to improve the consumption of vegetables and fruits to prevent the incidence of hyperglycemia among farmers.
