Abstract

Background: Stunting is still one of the main health problems in Indonesia that has an impact on physical growth, cognitive development, and the quality of human resources in the future. The use of digital technology, especially mobile-based health applications, is one of the innovative strategies in supporting stunting prevention efforts. This study aimed to analyze the effect of assistance in the use of SCATION (Stunting Care Application) applications on improving the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of mothers under five in stunting prevention.Methods: The study used a quasi-experimental design with a one group pretest-posttest with control group design. The sample amounted to 128 mothers under five who were divided into an intervention group (64 people) and a control group (64 people) using the proportionate simple random sampling technique.Results: Data was collected through knowledge questionnaires, early interventions, digital literacy, and application usage logs, then analyzed using the Chi-Square bivariate test and the differential test (t-test/Wilcoxon). The results showed that assistance in the use of the SCATION application had a significant effect on increasing maternal knowledge about stunting (p < 0.05), changes in stunting prevention attitudes and behaviors, and the sustainability of application use after the intervention period. Mothers with good digital literacy, family support, and adequate internet access were more consistent in using apps and showed better preventive behaviors than the control group.Conclusion: SCATION application assistance has proven to be more effective and efficient than conventional methods in improving stunting prevention efforts in mothers under five. Digital technology-based interventions are worthy of being used as an innovative strategy in supporting the national program to accelerate stunting reduction.

Abstract

Multisensory space applies sensory stimulation that helps train cognitive and motor functions through elements that stimulate the senses in the elderly. This concept is identified for people with moderate to severe cognitive decline and neurodegenerative pathologies. Aim: This study aimed to identify sensory utilities and activities in designing a multisensory space with a transcultural nursing approach. Methods: Researchers collected data qualitatively using the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) technique to explore elements related to the function of the multisensory space. The FGD also identified transcultural nursing aspects that could be applied to the room concept. The FGD involved five participants selected according to the research objectives to explore the needs and activities of multisensory stimulation for the elderly. The FGD was conducted for two hours. Participants were the health service officer, geriatric nurses, one Alzheimer's dementia activist, one architect, and one cultural figures. The results of the FGD were analyzed using the Colaizzi method approach by transcribing data from the FGD results, reading the FGD transcripts several times, and analyzing themes using Atlas.ti. Transcripts and meaningful statements were returned to participants to form categories, subthemes, and themes. Results: The themes analyzed were related to elements in the multisensory room which included both equipment and activities that supported sensory stimulation. Discussion: The identification of spatial elements and research partners in the development of multisensory space design supports the fulfillment of the needs of applicable and innovative elderly health services, especially in applying the concept of transcultural nursing for multisensory rooms for the elderly Conclusion: Cultural considerations play a significant role in the effectiveness of sensory elements, as sensory experiences that resonate with an individual’s cultural background can evoke positive emotions and memories.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus and metabolic disorders are the priority programs in Indonesia. There is one program to reduce the fatality impact of diabetes which is diabetic self-management education (DSME). This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) on dietary habits, physical activity, and obesity.  This study is a quasi-experimental approach with one group pre-test post-test design. The sample in this study was 75 people with DM type II. The intervention for all samples was done for 4 sessions. Each session lasted 60 to 120 minutes/day with a maximum of 10 patients. The findings revealed that dietary habits were good from 56.0% to 69.3%, physical activity was good from 54.7% to 76.0%, and obesity decreased from 69.3% to 57.35, respectively for pre and post-test. The paired t-test result revealed that DSME correlates with dietary habits, physical activity, and obesity (obesity, physical activity, and dietary habit with p-values 0.024; 0.007; and 0.02, respectively). In conclusion, DSME has significantly influenced dietary habits, physical activity, and obesity. Education is crucial in promoting physical activity among individuals with diabetes. By enhancing self-efficacy, providing education on self-care behaviors, and emphasizing the importance of regular physical activity, these programs contribute to improving metabolic control, quality of life, and overall health outcomes in diabetic patients.
