Abstract

Purworejo is among the districts with the highest malaria cases in Central Java, reaching 517 cases in 2021 and 544 cases in 2022. Kaligesing District, in particular, recorded the highest number of malaria cases in Purworejo Regency in 2022, with an API of 5.5 per 1000 population. The high incidence of malaria is influenced by various risk factors, including limited public understanding of malaria and community-based surveillance. Additionally, the less-than-optimal control of malaria vectors in the community contributes to this issue. The objective of this service is to reduce malaria cases in Kaligesing District by enhancing the understanding of Village Malaria Cadres and Interpreters (JMD) regarding malaria surveillance and vector control. The method involves providing surveillance assistance and conducting malaria vector control training for cadres and JMD. Results from this program indicate a significant improvement in participants' general knowledge. The paired samples t-test revealed an average score of 58.2% before training and 79.6% after training, with a p-value 0.0001. This demonstrates a substantial difference in participants' knowledge before and after training. Consequently, this activity is deemed successful in enhancing the knowledge of cadres and JMD regarding malaria surveillance and vector control.

Abstract

Stunting is a major global health issue, particularly in developing countries like Indonesia, where its prevalence remains high. It is characterized by a child’s height being below the standard for their age due to chronic malnutrition. The causes of stunting are multifactorial, including recurrent or chronic infectious diseases. This study aims to systematically analyze the association between infectious diseases—especially intestinal parasitic infections—and chronic inflammation with stunting in children under five. A literature review was conducted by collecting articles from Google Scholar, Scopus, Dimension, and BASE. Inclusion criteria were publications from 2015–2025, full-text availability, presence of DOI or ISSN, and relevance of titles and abstracts to the study objectives. A total of 314 articles were identified, 72 were screened, and 11 met the criteria for full analysis. The findings reveal that intestinal worm infections are significantly associated with stunting. Eosinophilia, an indicator of parasitic infection, was found to be higher in stunted children. Furthermore, elevated C-Reactive Protein (CRP) levels were linked to chronic inflammation that impairs growth. These results highlight the importance of managing infectious diseases as part of stunting prevention. Comprehensive nutritional and health interventions are essential. Efforts should also focus on improving access to healthcare services and nutritional education for families.
