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: 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

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

Background: Disaster preparedness is one of the important aspects in reducing the negative impacts of disasters, especially in areas prone to natural disasters. This study aims to develop a community-based disaster preparedness module that can improve community resilience and response capabilities to disaster threats. This module is designed to provide practical guidance in preparedness efforts, as well as build the capacity of local communities. Methods: This study uses a research and development design with quantitative and qualitative approaches. The population in this study was the community in disaster-prone areas in Genilangit Village, Poncol District, Magetan Regency. The sample consisted of 120 respondents selected using purposive sampling techniques, with the criteria of the community who had been involved in disaster mitigation activities. The main variable in this study was community preparedness before and after the implementation of the module. The data collection instrument used a questionnaire to measure preparedness and in-depth interviews to gain qualitative insights into the implementation of the module. Quantitative data were analyzed using paired descriptive statistics to see the difference in preparedness before and after the module intervention. While qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. Results: The results of this study indicate that the implementation of the module significantly increased the level of community preparedness in terms of knowledge, attitudes, and skills related to disaster mitigation. Conclusion: These findings indicate that this module can be an effective tool in increasing community resilience in disaster-prone areas.
