Abstract

Vector Borne Diseases are diseases that cause many problems. These diseases are spread by mosquitoes as the vectors. They transmit parasites to humans through their bites. The people who live in Indonesia have several characteristics that make them vulnerable to these diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to explore these characteristics in order to gain better prevention promotional targeting strategy. This study aims to determine the factors that can influence mosquito bite prevention behaviour in Indonesian society.  The data from a nationwide survey research were used with a cross sectional design conducted once in every five years.  The Riskesdas was conducted from April to May 2018 in all districts in Indonesia. The influencing factors observed were including experience of exposure to vector borne diseases (malaria or filariasis), gender, age group, education level and area of residence. This study conducted a multivariate test using logistic regression analysis to determine the factors that influence mosquito bite prevention behaviour. The results demonstrated that the factors of experience of exposure to vector borne diseases, gender, age group, education level and area of residence could determine the mosquitoes bite prevention behaviour in Indonesian society. Respondents who have experience of being exposed to malaria or filaria, under 60 years old, women, college graduates, and rural communities are more likely to prevent mosquito bites, therefore they could be empowered in promoting public awareness towards mosquito bites prevention.

Abstract

Purpose: Stunting remains a public health and nutrition problem in Indonesia. Stunting is widespread in rural areas, but information on stunting in urban areas is limited. This study aims to determine the risk factors for stunting in children aged 6–23 months in Garut Kota Subdistrict, Garut Regency, West Java, Indonesia. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted between April and July 2021 on 93 children aged 6–23 months in Garut Kota Subdistrict. Child, parental, and household variables were analyzed, and logistic regression was conducted to assess the predictors of stunting. Results: Of the 93 children examined, 40 (43%) were classified as stunted. The studies revealed predictors of stunting in the Garut Kota Subdistrict urban region among children under two years old. Stunted children were 0.065 times less likely to have fathers with middle-to-upper-class education (AOR = 0.065; 95% CI: 0.005-0.932). Stunting is less common in children whose homes have access to better drinking water (AOR = 0.268, 95% CI: 0.078–0.915). Furthermore, children from smokers' households were 0.012 times more likely to be stunted (AOR = 0.012; 95% CI: 0.001-0.238). Conclusion: Father's education level, access to adequate drinking water, and the presence of family members who smoke are factors that influence the prevalence of stunting in children aged 6-23 months in Garut Kota Subdistrict. A comprehensive, multisectoral program needs to boost family income, provide clean, safe drinking water that is easily accessible, and reduce household smoking to decrease the prevalence of stunting in children.
