Abstract

Background: Optimal growth and development will produce qualified human resources. Achieving optimal growth and development requires support from various sectors, including parents, the community, and the government. This study aimed to determine the knowledge and awareness of mothers and the community regarding child growth and development in Wonosobo Regency, Central Java.Method: This qualitative study was conducted in Wonosobo, Central Java, in 2019. Data were collected using FGD with mothers of under-two children and cadres (two groups) and interviews with health workers and related stakeholders (10 informants). The data collected was then analyzed using thematic analysis.Result: The results showed that several themes related to child growth and development were identified, namely knowledge about child growth, development, stunting, and children’s growth and development problems (signs, causes, and prevention). Mothers and the community have the proper knowledge about child growth and development. However, there is still a low awareness of when a child needs special attention due to growth and development problems in mothers’ groups. Within the mothers’ group, the knowledge of growth and development mostly comes from their prior experience. Meanwhile, most of the community’s knowledge about child growth and development has been in line with health indicators. Bringing existing programs closer to the mothers could be an effort to increase knowledge and awareness about child growth and development.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia still has a stunting problem, even though the stunting rate has decreased. The study analyses the association of the maternal education level with the incidence of stunted children under the age of two in poor communities in Indonesia.Method: The cross-sectional data from the Indonesian National Nutritional Status Survey 2021 examined 24,920 children under two years old. The relationship between the variables was tested using binary logistic regression.Result: The odds of having stunted children below the age of two are 1.705 times greater for women with no education than women with higher levels of education (AOR 1.705; 95% CI 1.667-1.744). Primary-educated mothers were 1.178 times increased risk of having stunted children under age two compared to higher-educated mothers (AOR 1.178; 95% CI 1.157-1.199). The study analysis found no significant difference between secondary and higher education to have stunted children. In addition to education level, the study also identified six other important control variables associated with stunting in children under the age of two: residence location, age of mother, married status, child's age, child's gender, and EIBF. According to the study's findings, stunting in children under the age of two is related to maternal educational levels among Indonesia's poor communities. An increased incidence of stunting in children under the age of two is associated with lower levels of maternal education.

Abstract

Background: Cesarean section (CS) delivery should only be performed with medical indications. It is important to analyze the socioeconomic role in CS and determine how to address socioeconomic-related factors in optimizing CS coverage in the Philippines using the latest national data.Purpose: This study analyzed the socioeconomic roles in CS delivery in the Philippines.Methods: This study used secondary data from the 2022 Philippines National Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS). The cross-sectional study included 4,452 women aged 15–49 who had given birth within the previous three years. Seven control factors were examined: employment, antenatal care (ANC), age, education, marital status, residence, and parity. The mode of delivery was considered the outcome variable, while socioeconomic status was the exposure variable. Binary logistic regression was used for the final data analysis.Results: Cesarean section was performed in 18.45% of deliveries in the Philippines. Analysis of socioeconomic status showed that women in the “poorer” group were 1.758 times more likely than the poorest to undergo CS (AOR 1.758; 95% CI 1.757–1.758). Women in the middle-income group were 2.164 times more likely than the poorest to have a CS (AOR 2.164; 95% CI 2.163–2.165). Those in the richer group were 2.718 times more likely (AOR 2.718; 95% CI 2.717–2.719), and the richest were 4.787 times more likely to deliver by CS compared to the poorest (AOR 4.787; 95% CI 4.785–4.789).Conclusion: Socioeconomic disparities are strongly associated with CS delivery in the Philippines. The wealthier the mother, the more likely she is to have a CS. Efforts should focus on reducing unnecessary CS in the rich and richest groups. Optimizing ANC education should include addressing psychological needs, promoting positive values, and providing a sense of security and comfort in normal childbirth. At the same time, equitable access to CS should be ensured for the poorest groups through education and insurance coverage.
