Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a disease characterized by high blood sugar levels that could occur in school-age children. One of the risk factors of DM is being overweight, which is influenced by an unbalanced diet. Good knowledge of mothers in providing good nutritional intake to overweight children can reduce the risk of DM in children. This study aims to identify the relationship between mothers’ characteristics (age, occupation, education level, exposure to information from mass media, and family history of DM) and mothers’ level of knowledge about the diet of overweight children with the risk of DM in children aged 6-12 years in an elementary school in Tangerang. This study used a descriptive quantitative method with univariate and bivariate analysis. A purposive sampling of 31 mothers with overweight children was involved. The research instrument was a questionnaire measuring the mothers' level of knowledge about the diet of overweight children with a risk of DM. The results showed that only education level revealed a relationship with mothers’ level of knowledge (p-value <0.05), while other characteristics indicated no relationship (p-value > 0.05). Increasing mothers ‘knowledge about healthy diets for children can be obtained from formal education, but non-formal education also plays an important role. Schools can reach out to health units to provide health education about the diet of school-age children and provide a clean and healthy canteen. Further research should identify other factors influencing the mother's knowledge level.

Abstract

Compliance is an attitude or behaviour as an effort to carry out requests or orders from others. Self-isolation also applies to students living in Western Indonesian Private University dormitories. It is intended for people with symptoms of COVID-19, such as coughing, shortness of breath, fever, sore throat, runny nose, other respiratory diseases, and a history of contact with suspected patients. Research This study aims to identify a description of nursing students' compliance in independent isolation in a dormitory at a private university in Western Indonesia. This study uses a retrospective type of research that takes data from March to September 2021 using quantitative research methods and a descriptive approach with sampling using the Purposive Sampling technique. The population in this study were final-year students with a sample size of 88 respondents. The measuring instrument in this study is a questionnaire with 11 questions. This questionnaire was tested for validity and reliability by 30 respondents who were final-year students. Researchers used univariate data analysis to describe student compliance in self-isolation. The results show that the level of compliance of the respondents was 59.1%, and non-compliance was 40.9%. In conclusion, most of the students were obedient in carrying out self-isolation. However, implementing health protocols should be maintained as preventive action for COVID-19.
