Abstract

Background: Hepatitis B in Indonesia is highest endemic, second mostly in the South East Asian Region. Hepatitis is generally rare in pregnant women. However, the most common sign is gestational jaundice, which is the cause of viral hepatitis. A total of 50,744 pregnant women will be positive for hepatitis B in 2022. Of this number, there will be 35,757 babies born to women who are positive for hepatitis B. The magnitude of this problem will certainly have a huge impact on public health problems and productivity. Objective: to know birth outcomes with incidence of hepatitis B in pregnant women. Method: Type of analytical quantitative research, case-control design. The total data sample was 60 pregnant women, including 30 hepatitis B cases and 30 non-hepatitis B controls. Secondary data collection came from birth report. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. Results: Based on results, it was shown that highest type of vaginal delivery was [85%], non-hepatitis B group, p-value 0.718. The highest condition of newborn is in normal category [95%], non-hepatitis B group, with a p-value of 0.553. The largest birth weight of babies was in the normal category, non-hepatitis B group [86.7%], p-value 0.129. In terms of indicators of postpartum haemorrhagia complications, the highest results were in the non-postpartum haemorrhagia category [91.6%], hepatitis B group, p-value 0.640. Conclusion: From the four indicators of birth outcomes, it was concluded that not has been significant correlation with the incidence of hepatitis B in pregnant women.

Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted educational practices globally, including Indonesia's Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program, which emphasizes real-world learning experiences. Health monitoring became a crucial aspect of student safety during MBKM activities, particularly in community settings. This report examines the health protocols implemented by Universitas Sari Mulia during a humanitarian mission in response to the South Kalimantan floods amidst the pandemic. Case presentation: Sari Mulia University deployed 327 students to assist in four sub-districts affected by floods. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, pre-deployment health protocols included rapid antigen testing, which identified five asymptomatic positive cases requiring isolation. After completing the two-month MBKM program, students were tested again, revealing seven additional cases, including one with moderate symptoms, while others were either mild or asymptomatic. Discussion: The university's health monitoring protocols, including pre- and post-deployment testing, isolation, and symptom-based treatments, significantly minimized virus transmission. The importance of early detection and close monitoring of asymptomatic individuals  is emphasized, as undetected cases could contribute to community transmission. Additionally, the program highlights the necessity of integrating health education into MBKM activities to ensure students understand preventive health measures. Conclusion: Universitas Sari Mulia successfully implemented comprehensive health monitoring during its MBKM program, protecting both students and the communities they served. This case underscores the need for ongoing health vigilance, education, and institutional collaboration to safely conduct off-campus learning during the pandemic. These practices serve as a model for future MBKM programs across Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is a serious public health issue that affects children's physical and cognitive development, leading to long-term economic consequences. Despite various interventions, stunting prevalence remains high in Indonesia, particularly in areas with limited access to nutrition and healthcare. Maternal factors, including maternal age, nutritional status during pregnancy, and maternal height, are believed to play a crucial role in stunting incidence among children. Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between maternal age during pregnancy, nutritional status based on mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), and maternal height with stunting incidence in toddlers in the working area of Cempaka Inpatient Health Center, Banjarbaru. Method: A case-control study design was employed, involving 212 mothers with toddlers, divided into 106 cases (stunted toddlers) and 106 controls (normal toddlers). Data were collected through structured interviews and anthropometric measurements. The relationship between maternal factors and stunting incidence was analyzed using the Chi-Square test and Odds Ratio (OR) calculations, with a significance level of p<0.05. Results: The findings revealed a significant association between maternal age and stunting incidence, where mothers of high-risk age (<20 years or >35 years) had 2.950 times higher odds of having stunted children (p=0.003). Maternal nutritional status, measured by MUAC <23.5 cm, was also significantly associated with stunting (OR=2.865; p=0.002). Additionally, maternal height <150 cm increased the risk of stunting by 3.143 times compared to mothers with a height ≥150 cm (p=0.001). Conclusion: Maternal factors, including age, nutritional status during pregnancy, and height, significantly contribute to stunting incidence. Strengthening maternal health interventions focusing on adequate nutrition and optimal pregnancy planning is crucial to preventing stunting from an early stage.
