Abstract

Optimizing the health and nutritional status of mothers during pregnancy can reduce the risk of stunting, with prevalence among children under five, in which the undernutrition condition was still high. It was about 24.4%. The research objective is to determine the association between maternal characteristics with nutritional status in the first trimester. This cross-sectional study involved 52 pregnant women in the first trimester. This study was conducted in the working area of health centers in Padang City 2022 which had a high prevalence of undernutrition problems. Data analysis was carried out using univariate tests and bivariate tests using chi-square with 95% CI and a significance level of p-value 0.05. The analysis results showed a significant relationship between BMI before pregnancy with nutritional status in the first trimester among pregnant women (p-value = 0.000). There is no relationship between education, occupation, age, and parity of the mother with nutritional status in the first trimester. Suggestions for pregnant women are to know their nutritional status, consume nutritious foods that are needed for fetal growth, and reduce the risk of low birth weight and stunting.

Abstract

Background: Anemia among reproductive-age women can lead to significant nutritional issues for future generations. In Indonesia, the anemia prevalence rate among women is alarmingly high at 30.44%. A key strategy to reduce anemia is the distribution of iron tablets (Fe) in schools. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of the iron tablet program in schools and its relationship to the incidence of anemia among adolescent girls in Padang City. Methods: A mixed-methods approach was utilized, combining quantitative and qualitative techniques. A cross-sectional design assessed the relationship between iron tablet distribution and anemia prevalence. Qualitative data were gathered through in-depth interviews to explore the program's implementation. The study involved two schools in Padang City, randomly selecting a sample of 274 adolescent girls. Data were collected using standardized instruments, analyzed with statistical software, and examined using multiple logistic regression tests. Results: The iron tablets program hasn’t been optimally implemented. The study found 28.1% of adolescent girls were anemic. An iron tablet consumption history (p-value=0.035), the quantity consumed (p-value=0.034), father's education level (p-value=0.039), and nutritional knowledge (p-value=0.032) related with anemic. Girls who did not consume iron tablets were 3.03 times more likely to be anemic. Many expressed concerns about the potential negative effects of iron tablets. Conclusions: This study reveals a troubling prevalence of anemia among adolescent girls, with nearly one-third affected. Inadequate iron tablet consumption, along with parental education and nutritional knowledge, significantly contributes to this issue. Concerns about side effects emphasize the urgent need for targeted educational interventions.

Abstract

Maternal health remains a critical global health priority, especially in rural areas where Antenatal Care (ANC) services often face significant challenges, including limited resources, low awareness, and cultural barriers. Male involvement plays a vital role in improving maternal health outcomes. This systematic review examines factors influencing male participation in ANC services in rural settings. A literature search was conducted using PubMed, ProQuest, and Scopus databases from 2019 to 2024. Keywords included "pregnant woman," "rural population," "antenatal care," "patriarchal culture," and "men involvement". After filtering, 17 relevant articles were selected based on CEBM study quality. The study included qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method research on male participation in ANC at both community and facility levels. Only studies published in English within the specified timeframe were included, while duplicates, non-English articles, and studies outside the rural context were excluded. Among the selected studies, eight were quantitative, six qualitative, and three employed mixed methods. Findings reveal that education, social norms, economic factors, and policies significantly influence husbands' involvement in ANC, aligning with previous research. However, this review highlights key differences, particularly in the impact of social changes that promote greater male participation and the role of concrete policies in enhancing their access to ANC. To improve husband involvement, targeted interventions are necessary, including couple-based educational programs, enhanced accessibility and affordability of health services, and shifts in community attitudes toward men's roles during pregnancy. Addressing these factors is essential for improving maternal health outcomes in rural settings.

Abstract

Nagari Pandai Sikek West Sumatra experienced a flash flood disaster that caused infrastructure damage, disruption of basic services, and decreased the quality of life of the community, especially vulnerable groups. This activity aims to improve the quality of life and health of post-disaster communities through an integrated approach in the fields of health and disaster management. The quality of life of the community is measured through a composite approach that includes knowledge improvement (pre- and post-tests), behavioral changes and participation in activities, simple health conditions (blood pressure and physical activity), waste bank and maggot-based environmental management, and community social involvement. These indicators show improvements in physical, cognitive, social, and environmental aspects after the community service activities. Activity methods include socialization, simulation, and education with a pre-test and post-test approach to measure the effectiveness of the intervention. Activities were carried out in the form of disaster mitigation counseling for elementary school students, maggot-based waste management training, healthy lifestyle counseling for the elderly through the GERMAS program, and nutrition education for parents related to stunting prevention. The results of the activity showed an increase in public understanding of disaster mitigation, with an average pre-test score of 58.4 increasing to 82.7 in the post-test. The community demonstrated a better understanding of the importance of waste management to prevent environmental pollution, awareness of early detection of hypertension, and the fulfillment of balanced nutrition to prevent stunting. Active participation in simulations, question and answer sessions, and discussions were indicators of the success of the activity. It can be concluded that this community service program succeeded in increasing the understanding and awareness of the Pandai Sikek community regarding health and disaster preparedness. The sustainability of this program needs to be supported through collaboration with local governments, educational institutions, and local communities to expand its positive impact.
