Abstract

Stunting remains a persistent problem in Tanah Toa Village, where high rates of growth faltering are closely linked to inadequate maternal parenting practices related to nutrition, hygiene, and health care. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between maternal parenting patterns including feeding practices, psychosocial stimulation, hygiene practices, environmental sanitation, and health service utilization and stunting among children aged 24–59 months in Tanah Toa Village, Bulukumba Regency. This cross-sectional study involved 111 mother–child pairs, with data collected from October to November 2020 using structured questionnaires and anthropometric measurements. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test and binary logistic regression using SPSS version 26.0. The results showed significant associations between stunting and hygiene practices (p = 0.003), environmental sanitation (p = 0.000), health service utilization (p = 0.049), and overall maternal parenting patterns (p = 0.000). Multivariate analysis identified maternal parenting patterns as the most dominant factor influencing stunting (p = 0.010; OR = 0.124; 95% CI = 0.03 to 0.62). Children raised by mothers with good parenting practices were 0.124 times less likely to experience stunting compared to those raised by mothers with poor parenting. These findings highlight that comprehensive parenting which involves nutrition, hygiene, and health care plays a critical role in preventing stunting. Interventions should integrate nutrition education, maernal empowerment, and culturally grounded health promotion to accelerate stunting reduction at the community level.

Abstract

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that remains a major public health problem due to its high prevalence and low detection rate. Limited community knowledge regarding risk factors and hypertension prevention contributes to increased cardiovascular complications. This community service activity aimed to improve public knowledge about hypertension prevention through health education. The program was conducted in Sunggumanai Hamlet, Belapunranga Village, Gowa Regency, involving 30 community members. The method applied was interactive lectures supported by visual media and discussions, accompanied by pre-test and post-test assessments to measure knowledge levels. The results indicated a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge. Prior to the intervention, 90.0% of respondents had low knowledge, while after the education session, 96.7% demonstrated adequate knowledge. Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon test showed a significant difference before and after the intervention (p=0.000). These findings indicate that health education is effective in increasing community knowledge regarding hypertension prevention. Continuous and sustainable educational programs are recommended to support long-term healthy lifestyle changes in the community.

Abstract

Introduction:  Anemia is a major public health concern that may reduce health, well-being, and work productivity. Vegetable farmers are potentially vulnerable to anemia because of nutritional inadequacy and frequent occupational exposure to soil, which may increase the risk of Soil-Transmitted Helminth (STH) infection. This study aimed to examine the associations of nutritional status and STH infection with anemia among vegetable farmers in Kanreapia Village, Gowa District, Indonesia. Methods:  This cross-sectional study involved 90 vegetable farmers selected proportionally from a population of 1,437 farmers. Nutritional status was assessed using body mass index (BMI), STH infection was identified through stool examination using the Kato–Katz technique, and hemoglobin concentration was measured using a portable hemoglobin meter. Anemia was classified using sex-specific hemoglobin thresholds. Associations between the study variables and anemia were assessed using appropriate exact tests, with statistical significance defined as p < 0.05. Results:  Among the 90 participants, 21 (23.3%) had anemia, 6 (6.7%) tested positive for STH infection, and 14 (15.6%) were underweight. No statistically significant association was observed between STH infection and anemia (p = 1.000). However, the small number of STH-positive participants limited the statistical power to detect a potentially meaningful association. Nutritional status was significantly associated with anemia (p = 0.016). Conclusion: Nutritional status was significantly associated with anemia among vegetable farmers. In contrast, the evidence regarding the association between STH infection and anemia remains inconclusive because of the small number of infected participants and limited statistical power. Nutritional assessment and anemia screening should be integrated into occupational health programs for agricultural workers, while preventive measures against STH infection should remain part of comprehensive health promotion strategies.

Abstract

According to the World Health Organization, Indonesia ranks third highest in the world in the number of active smokers, with 3.5 million women and 58 million men (WHO, 2022). One region in South Sulawesi Province with active smokers aged 15 years is Makassar City, where 16.58% of adolescents were reported to smoke in 2022 (BPS, 2022). Adolescence is the stage of human development after childhood in which physical, mental, and emotional changes occur. Some adolescents often find it difficult to cope with these changes, so guidance from more mature individuals is needed to protect them from harm (Heng, 2020). This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of health promotion in improving smoking-danger-awareness behavior among junior high school students. This quantitative study used a quasi-experimental approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design to determine the effectiveness of lecture media and teaching aids about the health dangers of smoking on students' knowledge, attitudes, and actions. The population of this study consisted of 256 eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 9 Makassar (Ministry of Education, 2023). The sample size was 52 students, selected using a purposive sampling technique. The results of the Wilcoxon test analysis obtained a significance value of 0.000 for knowledge, attitudes, and actions, with a p-value < 0.05, from which it can be concluded that lecture media and teaching aids are effective in improving smoking-danger-awareness behavior among junior high school students at SMP Negeri 9 Makassar. It is recommended that institutions make use of instructional media to disseminate health information on the dangers of smoking to students.
