Abstract

Stunting is a major problem in Central Sulawesi Province, with Sigi District having the highest prevalence at 40.7%. Stunting is a condition where children under five years of age fail to thrive due to chronic malnutrition, resulting in stunted growth. This condition hinders human development and has a negative impact on the future. The study aimed to identify the factors related to post-disaster stunting in toddlers aged 25-59 months in the Biromaru Health Centre working area. The research design used a quantitative approach with a case-control design, with a sample size of 150 mothers who had babies aged 25-59 months. The results showed that the mother's education level was significantly associated with the incidence of stunting, with mothers who have a low level of education being 2.82 times more likely to have stunted children than mothers with a high level of education. Other factors, such as maternal height, family income, exclusive breastfeeding history, birth weight, gender, and access to health services, did not show a significant relationship with stunting. The study suggests that improving maternal education levels may help reduce the incidence of stunting in toddlers, highlighting the importance of education in preventing child malnutrition.

Abstract

Breast cancer is the second largest death in women. One of the preventions of breast cancer by early detection is Breast Self-Examination (BSE). It aims at finding out abnormal lumps in the breast. There were 20 cases of breast cancer in Palu in 2017, 10 of them died, then increased in 2018 to 25 cases, and 14 died. Based on preliminary research at Senior High School of SMA 7 Negeri Palu, in 2021, there was 1 case of breast cancer. This research aimed to determine the correlation between knowledge, attitudes, information exposure, parental support, and Breast Self-Examination (BSE) behavior. This was quantitative research with a cross-sectional approach. The samples were taken through the Slovin method with the Proportional Stratified Random Sampling technique. The total population was 396 students, and the total samples were 80 students. The majority of respondents are 17 years old, namely 52.5% with good behavior, namely 52.5%, knowledge including lack, namely 55%, attitude including negative, namely 60%, and information exposure including high, namely 56.2%, and parental support including lack, namely 51.2%. The results show that there was no correlation between information exposure and BSE behavior (p = 0.128), while knowledge (p = 0.022), attitudes (p = 0.001), and parental support (p = 0.003) showed a correlation with BSE behavior. It is expected that the school will cooperate with the health sector by providing material on reproductive health and prevention of non-communicable diseases, and the students are also more proactive in seeking information related to BSE
