Abstract

Background: Early childhood (0–6 years) represents the most vulnerable population for infectious diseases due to an incompletely developed immune system. The high incidence of diseases such as acute respiratory infections (ARI), diarrhea, fever, chickenpox, and skin diseases constitutes a significant public health problem in Indonesia, including in Parepare City, South Sulawesi. The role of integrated health posts (posyandu) as the frontline of primary healthcare services is crucial in monitoring the health status of early childhood. Objective: This study aimed to identify the most common diseases in early childhood, analyze their risk factors, and describe prevention strategies implemented at posyandu. Methods: This study employed a posyandu-based descriptive observational design using a mixed-method concurrent triangulation approach. Quantitative data were obtained through direct observation of Posyandu Damai activities on April 11, 2026 and review of visit records from January to April 2026, while qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews with posyandu cadres, a community health center midwife, and attending parents or guardians. The units of analysis included 93 registered children, 65 children attending the observation session, and 87 disease-case records documented in the visit recapitulation. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to calculate frequencies and percentages, and thematic analysis to interpret risk factors and prevention strategies. Results: Findings indicated that 65 of 93 registered children attended the observation session, while the health-status recapitulation showed that 88 children were healthy and 5 experienced health problems. The most frequently encountered diseases included fever (32.4%), cough and common cold/ARI (28.7%), diarrhea (18.5%), intestinal worms (12.1%), and allergies (8.3%). Key risk factors identified were nutritional imbalances, poor environmental sanitation, inadequate handwashing habits, and low parental knowledge about balanced nutrition. Prevention strategies implemented by posyandu include nutritional counseling, vitamin and supplement distribution, immunization, and Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) education. Conclusion: Posyandu plays a strategically vital role in improving the health status of early childhood. Synergy among posyandu cadres, healthcare workers, and parents is the key to successful disease prevention in early childhood. Enhanced community-based education programs and promotional-preventive approaches need to be continuously strengthened to reduce disease incidence in children

Abstract

Basic health in early childhood constitutes a critical foundation for optimal growth and development that determines the quality of human resources in the future. Early childhood (0–6 years), known as the golden age, is characterized by rapid brain development reaching approximately 90% of adult brain capacity. This study aimed to examine the implementation of basic health programs for early childhood, including Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS), balanced nutrition fulfillment, and immunization at UPTD Puskesmas Cempae, Parepare City. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach through direct observation and documentation at the Maternal and Child Health (KIA) unit, conducted from April 20–22, 2026. Results indicated that the PHBS program has been running satisfactorily, with positive indicators in handwashing habits and school environmental hygiene, although health center guidance remains limited to approximately once per year. In the nutritional aspect, a stunting prevalence of 2% was found among 730 registered toddlers. Complete basic immunization coverage remained below 90%, influenced by parental fear of side effects, misinformation, and socioeconomic factors. The success of basic health programs for early childhood requires active synergy among health workers, families, schools, and communities as an integrated and sustainable health ecosystem.
