Abstract

Stunting is a failure of growth and development experienced by children due to inadequate nutritional intake for a long time, recurrent infectious diseases, and inadequate psychosocial stimulation. The incidence of stunting is higher in rural areas than in urban areas. This study aims to analyze the relationship between maternal characteristics and the incidence of stunting in elementary school children in the Air Beliti Health Center working area. The study was conducted on elementary school children in the working area of the Air Beliti Health Center, Musi Rawas Regency. The design of this study used a cross-sectional design, with a total sample of 84 respondents who were taken randomly and met the inclusion criteria. Determination of stunting is based on anthropometric measurements, while the characteristics of parents are assessed using a questionnaire. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using Univariate, Bivariate, and Multivariate statistical tests. The results of anthropometric measurements showed that children who experienced stunting were 41 people, 48.8%. Based on the characteristics of the parents, it was found that 54.8% of fathers and 50% of mothers had low education, 65.5% of fathers and 75% of mothers worked as farmers, 58.3% of parents had low economic status, and 51.2% parents marry at a young age. There is a significant relationship between married age (p = 0.049), maternal education (0.029), and stunting incidence. Based on the multivariate test results, it was found that the most dominant factor related to the incidence of stunting was the age at marriage (p = 0.000; OR = 80.079). Parents who marry in their teens have a risk of 80,079 times having stunting children. Conclusion: adolescent marriage is associated with the incidence of stunting in elementary school children in the work area of the Air Beliti Health Center.

Abstract

Pediculosis capitis affects all races and all social levels, but low socio-economic status is more affected by this disease. The mode of transmission can be direct (hair to hair) or through intermediaries such as hats, pillows, mattresses, combs, and veils. This study aims to analysis of socio-economic status, morphology, and dominant factors of personal hygiene behavior on the incidence of pediculosis capitis at Orphanages in Palembang City, Indonesia. The cross-sectional design is a sample of all orphanages in Palembang City. The results obtained were then analyzed by chi-square, logistics regression statistical test, and correspondence analysis. Morphology of pediculosis capitis female body length is 2461.70µm, male is 2596.90µm. Antenna shape are shorter and wider, abdomen curve is protruding. Crest of the paraterga plate is extends into the intersegmental membrane. Knowledge of respondents is not good and suffers from pediculosis capitis by 43 (74.1%), knowledge of respondents is good 52 (57.8%), attitude of respondents is negative and suffers from pediculosis capitis 27 (87.1%), positive attitude of the respondent suffered from pediculosis capitis 25 (42.4%), the respondent's actions were not good and suffered from pediculosis capitis 34 (75.6%), the respondent's action was good 18 (40%). The results of the logistic regression test: the most dominant factor is the attitude of the respondents (OR: 6.260 95% CI: 1.836-21.34). This research needs to be continued with individual characteristics in improving behavior in preventing pediculosis capitis.
