Abstract

Development at preschool age is a basic stage that influences subsequent development, at this time children often experience delays in fine motor development, the impact that often occurs is a lack of stimulation so that children experience obstacles in the learning process at school. One game that improves fine motor development is puzzles. The aim of this research is to identify fine motor development after being given a puzzle game. This research uses a descriptive observational case study on 2 subjects using a modified KPSP observation sheet. The research results before being given the puzzle subject 1 were moderate (10) subject 2 was poor (8) after being given the puzzle both subjects were good (21) and (19). It is recommended that both subjects optimize puzzle games to improve their fine motor development. For future researchers, it is recommended to condition puzzle games simultaneously and not to stimulate separately and it is recommended to involve parents and teachers in conducting research.

Abstract

Background: Illness is a state in which the body physically, mentally, and socially experiences weakness, disability, and discomfort. Newborn babies are more susceptible to disease because the antibodies in their bodies are not yet fully formed. Breast milk is the first intake to help the formation of the immune system because breast milk contains antibodies and other protective substances. Purpose: To determine the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of illness in infants aged 6-12 months at Kendalsari Health Center, Malang City. Methods: This study used a case control design with a retrospective approach. The sampling technique used purposive sampling. The sample in this study consisted of a case group (sick babies) as many as 35 mothers & babies in the Kendalsari Community Health Center MTBS Clinic and a control group (healthy babies) as many as 35 mothers & babies in Jatimulyo Village in March-April 2024. Results: The results of the Chi-square test value of exclusive breastfeeding with the incidence of illness obtained a significant p-value of 0.001 (<0.05). Conclusion: Exclusive breastfeeding has a significant effect on the incidence of illness in infants aged 6-12 months. Thus, it is expected that mothers can provide exclusive breastfeeding for infants aged 0-6 months. Future research can examine other factors (maternal condition, maternal psychology, and environment) that can affect exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of illness.
