Abstract

Ngelang Village in Kartoharjo District, Magetan Regency, has been designated a Disaster Resilient Village (Destana). However, its capacity to handle health crises remains limited, marked by weak coordination, the absence of an emergency command structure, and minimal training and simulation. The community service activity employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach and involved 34 participants. Needs identification resulted in four priorities: establishing a command structure, developing a contingency plan, updating health vulnerability data, and creating a risk and vulnerability map. Intensive training was conducted over four days, totaling 30 training hours (JPL). The average pre-test score of 77.07 increased to 86.4 in the post-test, but decreased to 81.03 after one month, indicating challenges in knowledge retention. Participation was high, with over 59% of responses in the excellent category. Weaknesses were still evident in discussion engagement and problem-identification skills. Reflection showed that material understanding and practical skills were in the moderate category, while engagement was relatively high. The PAR intervention was effective in increasing knowledge and participation; however, the sustainability of the results requires strengthening retention strategies. Active participant involvement is crucial, but improvements are needed in discussion and problem analysis. The village government is committed to allocating the village budget (APBDes) for evacuation facilities, outreach, and regular simulations. The Destana Forum has agreed to make the training a regular biennial program and establish collaborations with health and disaster management agencies.

Abstract

Background: Dysmenorrhea is a common complaint that occurs during menstruation. The main research problem is that dysmenorrhea is often experienced by young women with high cases. The results of preliminary studies show that adolescents with poor nutritional status or malnutrition have a 50% risk of experiencing dysmenorrhea. This study aims to analyze the relationship between nutritional status and the incidence of dysmenorrhea in adolescent girls. Methods: This type of research is observational analytic with a cross-sectional design. The population is all students in class VII MTs. Negeri 2 Magetan, totaling 225 students. The sample size was 144 students, calculated using the Slovin formula. The sampling technique is simple random sampling using a lottery. The independent variable in this study is nutritional status, and the dependent variable is dysmenorrhea. Instruments for measuring height use a height-measuring device, and instruments for measuring body weight use a weight scale. The instrument for measuring dysmenorrhea uses a questionnaire. Nutritional status data was collected by measuring body weight and height, while dysmenorrhea data was collected by filling out questionnaires. Analyze the data descriptively, and test the hypothesis using the Chi-Square statistical test. Results: The results of the study obtained a picture of 144 female students studied, half of whom had abnormal nutritional status (54.9%), and dysmenorrhea (54.2%). The prevalence ratio of exposure to abnormal nutritional status to the incidence of dysmenorrhea is 0.91. Then at 95% significance, there is a relationship between nutritional status and dysmenorrhea. Conclusion: This study concludes that there is a relationship between nutritional status and the incidence of dysmenorrhea in young women at MTs. Negeri 2 Magetan and the prevalence ratio of dysmenorrhea from exposure to abnormal nutritional status was 50.7%. Comprehensive nutritional education and early health intervention are recommended to prevent and reduce the risk of dysmenorrhea.

Abstract

Background: Dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain) is often experienced by women of childbearing age. The main complaint is abdominal pain that spreads from the lower back to the thighs. The pain complaint results in disruption of daily activities. The purpose of the study was to identify the description of type of coping, and coping mechanisms in women who experience dysmenorrhea. Methods: The type of research used was descriptive exploratory with a population of 252 women of childbearing age who experienced dysmenorrhea. The sample size of this study was 152 women (Krejci & Morgan table). The independent variable is dysmenorrhea, and the dependent variable is the type and coping mechanisms. The instrument for identifying the type, and coping mechanisms used a questionnaire. Data on women of childbearing age who experienced dysmenorrhea were obtained from secondary data from the Village Midwife's records. Data collection techniques used questionnaires and secondary data observations. Data analysis was carried out descriptively, in the form of frequency distribution percentages and prevalence ratios. Results: The results showed that women who experienced dysmenorrhea tended to use adaptive coping. The most frequently used coping mechanism was problem-focused coping. Women who work and are active in sports are risk factors that can reduce dysmenorrhea. Adolescent age, secondary education, age of menarche less than 12 years, and menstrual periods more than 7 days are triggers for dysmenorrhea. Conclusion: regular exercise and work are positive coping mechanisms that can reduce dysmenorrhea.

Abstract

The effectiveness of disaster preparedness cannot be measured solely from the existence of an early warning system (EWS). Warnings without prompt and coordinated action risk losing their significance in saving lives. In practice, many regions face challenges when warning signals are received, but response and resource mobilization are slow. This demonstrates that preparedness does not stop at detection systems, but rather relies on institutional, social, and technical capacity to act promptly. This opinion piece examines the limitations of EWS implementation in Indonesia from three dimensions: technical (limited reach and data interoperability), social (low risk literacy and community engagement), and institutional (unintegrated command, logistics, and anticipatory financing). This condition is exacerbated by weak coordination at the local level, including in the activation of volunteers and social networks, so that vulnerable groups are often not reached by warnings or early assistance. Based on lessons learned from case studies in Indonesia and international literature on anticipatory action, this paper emphasizes the need to review preparedness indicators by including aspects of resource mobilization as a main component. Policy recommendations include strengthening the capacity of Disaster Resilient Villages in the dissemination of warnings (last-mile warning), the application of the mechanism trigger and anticipatory financing, as well as the integration of preparedness with health services, education, logistics, search and rescue, and refugee readiness. This new approach positions preparedness not simply as the ability to receive warnings, but as an integrated system capable of translating warnings into concrete, life-saving actions.

Abstract

Background: A high-risk pregnancy jeopardizes both maternal and fetal lives. Despite recommendations for hospital births, six out of ten high-risk expectant mothers in Kawedanan opt for PMB or Community Health Center Maternity. To identify high-risk pregnancies, Kawedanan Community Health Center employs the innovative Bankjo lamp. This study investigates how pregnant women's attitudes and knowledge about Bankjo lamps influence their maternity location choice. Methods: This type of research uses quantitative descriptive research. This observational analytical research involved 57 expectant mothers due to maternity in January, February, or March. Using a cross-sectional design, the study treated knowledge and attitudes about Bankjo lamps as independent variables, with maternity location preference as the dependent variable. Data collection methods included knowledge and attitude questionnaires and monthly midwife reports. The data was analyzed using the Chi-Square test and descriptive statistics in the form of frequency distribution with presentation. Results: Findings indicate that pregnant women generally possess adequate knowledge about suitable maternity locations, with some showing insufficient understanding. A significant correlation (p = 0.013) exists between knowledge levels and preferred birthplace. Despite the preference for hospital births among nearly all expectant mothers, a majority hold negative attitudes, strongly correlated (p = 0.000) with their birthplace choices. Interestingly, while most pregnant women understand the Bankjo lamp innovation well, they harbor negative attitudes toward it. Nevertheless, almost all opt for hospital births, prioritizing medical safety despite reservations about new technologies. Conclusions: The study underscores the need for government support in advancing maternal health initiatives, including innovative technologies like Bankjo lamps. Enhancing awareness and promoting positive attitudes among expectant mothers can foster safer childbirth practices. By disseminating knowledge and addressing misconceptions, healthcare providers can better support high-risk pregnancies, ensuring better outcomes for both mothers and babies.

Abstract

Village resilience is an important foundation in community-based disaster risk reduction efforts. This policy brief is prepared based on recommendations from the results of village resilience assessment research. The research as the basis for the policy brief was conducted in 30 Disaster Resilient Villages in Magetan Regency using the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method, which emphasizes active community involvement in the assessment process. The assessment was carried out by filling out a questionnaire from the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) containing 128 questions and covering five main aspects: basic services, regulations and policies, prevention and mitigation, emergency preparedness, and post-disaster recovery. The questionnaire was filled out through interviews and focus group discussions (FGD). The results showed that only around 20% of villages achieved the Main Disaster Resilient Village category. This shows the need for an increase in overall efforts made by the disaster resilient village forum together with the village government. Two main recommendations are proposed. First, strengthening the capacity of the Disaster Resilient Village Forum as the driving force for disaster risk management activities at the village level. This forum needs to be supported through training, facilitation, and strengthening its role in program planning and implementation. Second, the allocation of village funds needs to be increased by around 5–8% to fund activities such as disaster-resistant infrastructure development, disaster mitigation, capacity training, emergency response simulations, procurement of facilities and infrastructure, emergency response funds, and post-disaster recovery. The success of both recommendations is highly dependent on collaboration between local and village governments. Local governments need to support with clear regulations, technical assistance, and adequate budgets. Meanwhile, village governments need to include disaster risk reduction in development plans. This synergy will accelerate the realization of disaster-resilient villages.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of low birth weight (LBW), according to the World Health Organization (WHO), is estimated to be 15%–20% of all births worldwide. Babies with LBW face a challenging and risky life trajectory, often experiencing growth and development disorders. Pregnant women with a history of anemia are considered a risk factor for LBW cases. This study aims to determine the risk factors for anemia in pregnant women and the incidence of LBW in the Maospati Community Health Center area. Methods: This observational analytic study employed a case-control design. The case population consisted of LBW infants, while the control population included non-LBW infants. The case sample comprised 25 LBW infants, and the control sample included 50 infants who were not LBW. The independent variable was the history of anemia in pregnant women, and the dependent variable was the incidence of LBW. Data were collected from medical records and labor recapitulation records from February 2023 to February 2024, using an observation sheet as the research instrument. Data analysis involved calculating the proportion of cases to exposure and determining the odds ratio. Results: The study found a significant association between a history of anemia in pregnant women and the incidence of LBW in their babies, with a p-value of 0.003. Pregnant women with anemia had a 4.571 times greater risk of giving birth to an LBW baby compared to those without anemia. Conclusions: The findings indicate that a history of anemia in pregnant women is a significant risk factor for LBW in newborns. Monitoring pregnancy and hemoglobin levels is essential to reduce the incidence of LBW in infants.

Abstract

Background: Nabila Cantika is an innovation to overcome the problem of stunting. This innovation is in the form of toddler class training involving grandmothers. The training was conducted twice, each lasting 120 minutes. The novelty of the study lies in the involvement of grandmothers in the Toddler class. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Nabila Cantika innovation in reducing stunting rates. Methods: This study was descriptive and was conducted at the Kawedanan Health Center, Magetan, Indonesia, from February to May 2024. The study population consisted of 90 stunted toddlers cared for by their grandmothers. Samples were taken from the entire population that met the inclusion criteria. The independent variable was grandmothers who attended the Toddler class. Data collection used observation sheets and secondary data in the form of reports from nutrition officers. Data analysis was carried out descriptively, and the effectiveness of this innovation was tested using the McNemar test. Results: The results showed that the effectiveness of the Nabila Cantika program varied in each village. Before the innovation was implemented, 71 toddlers (78.9%) were classified as short, and 19 toddlers (21.1%) were classified as very short. After the innovation was implemented, out of 71 toddlers who were classified as short, 48 toddlers (67.6%) increased to the normal category, while 23 toddlers (32.4%) were still classified as short. Out of 19 toddlers who were classified as very short, 8 toddlers (42.2%) remained in that category, while 10 toddlers (57.8%) increased to the short category. This program has proven effective in reducing stunting rates with a significance value of 0.000. Conclusion: Nabila Cantika's innovation has proven very effective in reducing stunting rates in the Kawedanan Health Center area. This program needs to be continued and monitored until it reaches the target of zero stunting.

Abstract

This study aims to enhance the Disaster Resilient Village (Destana) forum's preparedness for disaster-related health crises. The key challenges identified are low community response to early warning systems and slow mobilization of health resources, both contributing to high victim numbers and exacerbating health crises. The study focuses on creating an accessible early warning system and accelerating health resource mobilization, prioritizing these elements based on an analysis of disaster preparedness parameters. Using Action Research with a Participatory Action Research (PAR) design, the research was conducted in Magetan Regency, East Java, involving 150 Destana forum administrators. The study explores the development of early warning procedures, health contingency plans, emergency response structures, and simulation plans. The findings reveal that the Destana forum successfully developed tailored health contingency plans for each village, including an inclusive early warning system Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for vulnerable groups. Additionally, an integrated health command structure was formed, enhancing emergency response coordination. Emergency response simulations with 90 participants demonstrated improved readiness and community engagement in handling health crises. The study highlights the importance of a participatory, sustainable approach to building resilience, showing that active community involvement fosters collective responsibility for managing health crises during disasters.
