Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a significant social issue among the population in Indonesia. Inadequate treatment has led to numerous cases of suboptimal height in children aged 19 years. Objective: This study aimed to explore the strategy of the village government in formulating communication messages, utilizing communication methods, and employing communication media for the stunting alleviation program. Methods: A phenomenological approach was employed, with the research conducted in Pulau Harapan Village, Nine Island District, Sinjai Regency. Data were gathered from the government officials of Pulau Harapan Village through observations, interviews, and documentation. Subsequently, the collected data underwent analysis involving reduction, presentation, verification, and conclusions drawing, facilitated by Atlas TI 8 software.

Abstract

Background:Hypertension is a serious global health issue due to its rising prevalence and its link to severe cardiovascular diseases. Red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum)infusion therapy has gained attention as a potential natural treatment for high blood pressure because of its active compounds, such as gingerols and shogaols, which have anti-inflammatory and vasodilatory effects. Objectives:This study investigates the effectiveness of red ginger infusion therapy in reducing hypertension among residents of Kawatuna Village, where hypertension rates reached 12.2% in 2022. Given the community’s dietary habits and limited healthcare access, alternative treatments like this are important for managing blood pressure. Methods:The study used a Quasi-Experimental design with a Pretest-Posttest Control Group approach. A total of 66 participants were divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group consumed red ginger infusion daily for seven days, while the control group received no intervention. Blood pressure was measured before and after the intervention. Results:The results showed a significant decrease in blood pressure in the experimental group. Systolic pressure dropped by an average of 24 mmHg and diastolic pressure by 11 mmHg (both p<0.001). In contrast, the control group had only slight changes, with a decrease of 0.17 mmHg in systolic pressure and 1.1 mmHg in diastolic pressure. These findings suggest that red ginger infusion therapy can effectively lower blood pressure in the short term. However, the small sample size and short duration of the study highlight the need for further research. Future studies should explore the specific mechanisms behind red ginger’s effects and assess its long-term safety and efficacy. Addressing lifestyle factors, like the high consumption of coconut milk in Kawatuna, through health education programs could also improve hypertension management. Conclusion:Red ginger infusion therapy shows promise as a complementary treatment for hypertension, but more comprehensive studies are needed to confirm its long-term benefits.

Abstract

Background:The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the critical role of vaccination in mitigating the transmission of infectious diseases. However, parental attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination are pivotal in determining the vaccination uptake among children. Understanding the factors that influence these attitudes is essential for the development of effective vaccination strategies. Objectives:This study aimed to identify the factors influencing parental attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination in children aged 6-12 years. Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted among parents of children aged 6-12 years. Data on parental attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination, along with various demographic variables, were collected via structured interviews. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was utilized to identify significant predictors of parental attitudes toward vaccination. Results:The findings revealed several factors significantly associated with parental attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination. Notably, perceptions regarding the halal status of the vaccine, family support, and parental anxiety were found to significantly influence these attitudes. Parents who considered the vaccine to be halal and who received strong family support were more likely to endorse vaccination. Conversely, higher levels of anxiety were negatively associated with vaccination support. Conclusions:These results highlight the importance of addressing perceptions regarding the halal status of the vaccine, enhancing family support, and alleviating parental anxiety to promote COVID-19 vaccination in children aged 6-12 years. Public health interventions should focus on providing clear, reliable information regarding vaccine halal status, fostering family discussions to encourage vaccination, and offering psychological support to reduce parental anxiety. These strategies are crucial for improving vaccination uptake and achieving herd immunity against COVID-19.
