Abstract

Pemberian MP-ASI yang tidak tepat waktu dan type nya akan beresiko meningkatkan kematian pada balita. Tujuan dari studi ini adalah mengetahui hubungan antara pendidikan dan pengetahuan ibu balita tentang MP-ASI  dengan  pola  pemberian  MP-ASI  pada  anak  usia  6-24  bulan.  Jenis  penelitian  ini  adalah  crosssectional dengan subyek anak usia 6-24 bulan sebanyak 144 orang di Kelurahan Karang Baru, Kecamatan Selaparang,  Kota  Mataram.  Data  yang  dikumpulkan  meliputi  karakteristik  sampel  dan  karakteristik  ibu balita meliputi umur, pendidikan, dan pekerjaan, serta pengetahuan ibu tentang pola pemberian MP-ASI. Penilaian  pola  pemberian  MP-ASI  berdasarkan  3  indikator  yaitu  pertama  kali  memberikan,  jenis  dan frekuensi  pemberian  MP-ASI.  Data  diolah  menggunakan  analisis  bivariat  dengan  uji  chi  square.  Hasil menunjukkan bahwa Ibu balita sebagian besar berumur 20-35 tahun (83,3%) dengan pendidikan sekolah dasar (48,6%). Sebagian besar ibu tidak bekerja (74,3%), dengan tingkat pengetahuan ibu balita sebagian besar berkategori sedang (69,4%). Pola pemberian MP-ASI berdasarkan waktu pertama pemberian MP-ASI sebagian  besar  (56,9%)  tidak  sesuai  karena  pemberian  MP-ASI  yang  terlalu  dini,  namun  jika  dilihat berdasarkan jenis pemberian MP-ASI, persentase yang tidak sesuai banyak ditemukan pada usia 6-8 bulan (63,6%) dan persentase yang sesuai banyak ditemukan pada bayi usia 12 -24 bulan (70,4%), sedangkan dari  indikator  frekuensi  pemberian  MP-ASI,  pada  usia  12-24  bulan  100%  balita  tidak  mendapat  MP-ASI yang sesuai anjuran (3-5 kali/hari). Berdasarkan tiga indikator tersebut sebagian besar tidak sesuai pola pemberian  MP-ASI  (54,9%).  Analisis  bivariat  menunjukkan  ada  hubungan  yang  signifikan  antara pendidikan dengan pola pemberian MP-ASI (p<0,000), demikian juga pada variabel pengetahuan ibu balita (p<0.000). Kata kunci: pendidikan ibu, pengetahuan ibu, dan pola pemberian MP-ASI

Abstract

The prevalence of anemia among adolescent girls is 23%, assessed by hemoglobin levels below 12 g/dl. Moringa leaves, containing 28.2 mg of iron, offer a potential solution. This community service activity aimed to increase mothers' knowledge about anemia in adolescent girls and process healthy snacks using moringa leaves. Using a positive deviance approach, the project targeted 20 mothers of adolescent girls, providing education and training on making moringa-based snacks. Three positive deviance practitioners were identified and invited to share their successful experiences in using moringa leaves to combat anemia. They demonstrated four healthy snack recipes: moringa leaf kembang goyang, nuggets, gabus sticks, and rempeyek. Participants then created their own moringa-based snacks at home, including nuggets, sticks, omelettes, and moss pudding. Initially unfamiliar with moringa's benefits and processing methods, participants gained understanding and skills in utilizing moringa leaves as healthy snacks for teenage girls to prevent anemia by the end of the training. This approach effectively combined local wisdom with nutritional education to address adolescent anemia through accessible, home-prepared snacks.

Abstract

Terjadinya sindrom metabolik diduga berhubungan dengan pergeseran gaya hidup masyarakat yang berubah menuju masyarakat modern, dari mengonsumsi makanan tradisional beralih ke makanan instan dan kebaratbaratan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui prevalensi sindrom metabolik dan determinannya dari pola konsumsi, meliputi konsumsi sayur dan buah serta pola makan makanan manis, asin, berlemak, lauk hewani berpengawet, dan penggunaan penyedap. Penelitian ini merupakan bagian dari analisis lanjut data Riset Kesehatan Dasar tahun 2013 dengan desain potong lintang. Jumlah sampel setelah pembobotan adalah 1.878.578 orang dengan kriteria berusia 18 tahun ke atas. Pengumpulan data pola konsumsi, antropometri, klinis, dan biomedis telah dilakukan. Analisis data menggunakan kai kuadrat dan regresi logistik biner. Prevalensi sindrom metabolik di Indonesia sebesar 23%, pada perempuan 26,6% dan pada laki-laki 18,3%. Konsumsi makanan manis lebih dari satu kali per hari sebanyak 43,5% dan kurang dari satu kali per hari 10,5% dengan peluang mengalami sindrom metabolik sebesar 6,567 kali. Konsumsi makanan asin yang termasuk dalam kategori sering memiliki proporsi sindrom metabolik sebesar 100% dengan risiko mengalami sindrom metabolik sebanyak 6,363 kali. Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan (nilai p < 0,05) antara pola konsumsi sayur dan buah, frekuensi konsumsi makanan manis, asin, berlemak, lauk hewani yang diawetkan, penggunaan penyedap, dan mi instan dengan kejadian sindrom metabolik pada usia produktif. Occurrence of metabolic syndrome is assumedly related to the changing of people’s lifestyle into modern society, from consuming traditional food to instant food and be westernized. This study aimed to determine metabolic syndrome prevalence and its determinants from consumption patterns including vegetable and fruit consumption as well as consumption patterns of sweet, salty, fatty food, preserved animal side dishes and use of seasonings. This study was a part of advanced 2013 Basic Health Research data analysis by cross sectional design. A total of sample after weighting was 1,878,578 people on aged 18 years old and older. Collecting consumption pattern, anthropometry, clinic and biomedic data had been conducted. Data analysis used chi square and binary logistic regression.

Abstract

Background: Nutritional status is an indicator of growth, and the first two years of a child's life should be closely observed because it is a critical period for development. Failure to grow during this period will affect nutritional status. Many factors affect a child's nutritional status, including sociodemographic factors and patterns of complementary feeding of breast milk. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the influence of sociodemographic factors and patterns of complementary feeding on the nutritional status of children under two years old in coastal areas of North Sumatra. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional approach involving 212 mother-child pairs aged 6-23 months in Pantai Labu District. Data collection involved structured questionnaires and interviews covering family characteristics, initial food introduction, breastfeeding status, and child age. Nutritional status was assessed through child length and weight measurements. Multiple logistic regression tests were conducted for multivariate analysis, and bivariate tests using chi-square. Results: The results showed that there was an influence of maternal knowledge (p-value=0.008; OR=2.678), maternal education (p-value=0.005; OR=2.807), and economic status (p-value=0.0001) on children's nutritional status. Most mothers (78.8%) provided timely complementary feeding and maintained hygienic practices (81.1%). Despite this, 15-20% of children exhibited poor nutritional status across weight-for-age, length-for-age, and weight-for-length indicators. Conclusions: Children's nutritional status in coastal areas is significantly influenced by sociodemographic factors. Integrated interventions targeting maternal capabilities and family economic conditions are crucial for improving child nutrition.
