Abstract

Pneumonia is an illness that frequently affects young children and significantly influences their health and overall life quality, particularly in toddlers. This research seeks to explore how parental awareness and actions relate to the seriousness of pneumonia among toddlers at the Lingsar and Sigerongan Community Health Centers. This study is an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional research design using consecutive sampling. The study was conducted in the working area of the Lingsar and Sigerongan Community Health Centers, West Lombok with a research sample of 112 respondents. The information collected was examined using the Spearman's rho test. The findings indicated that a majority of the parents of toddlers were aged between 20 and 35 years (83.9%), were predominantly female (51.5%), had low levels of education (51.8%), and the majority worked as housewives (74.1%). The data also showed that there was a high level of knowledge (80.4%) and positive behavior (96.4%). The analysis of the knowledge and behavior data through the Spearman's rho test yielded results of (p = 0.807) and (p = 0.292), indicating no significant correlation between parental knowledge and behavior with the severity of pneumonia in toddlers (p > 0.05). Furthermore, there was no significant link found between the history of basic vaccinations, nutritional status, family smoking background, exclusive breastfeeding history, low birth weight history, prematurity, and environmental factors with the severity of pneumonia in toddlers. There was no association between parental knowledge and behavior and the severity of pneumonia in toddlers at the Lingsar and Sigerongan Health Centers in West Lombok.

Abstract

Pneumonia remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children under five worldwide, including in Indonesia, with its severity influenced by immunization status, air pollution exposure, delayed access to healthcare, and families’ socioeconomic and behavioral conditions.of families influence the severity of pneumonia. This review aims to explore parental knowledge and behavior and the severity of pneumonia in children under five based on previous studies. This study used a literature review method by collecting and analyzing relevant articles from databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect using keywords including "pneumonia", "knowledge", "behavior", and "under-five children". The findings indicate that adequate parental knowledge about pneumonia can support early detection and timely medical care. Parents with better knowledge tend to recognize the early symptoms of pneumonia more quickly and promptly seek medical care. In addition, good preventive behaviors, such as proper hygiene practices, complete immunization, and adequate care, can help prevent pneumonia or reduce the severity of the disease if it occurs. However, some studies show that high knowledge does not always correlate with appropriate treatment-seeking behavior, as it is influenced by other factors such as education level, economic status, and access to healthcare facilities. In addition, poor preventive behavior such as smoking inside the house and inadequate sanitation contributes to increased risk and severity of pneumonia. Parental knowledge and behavior play a crucial role in the prevention and management of pneumonia in children. However, a holistic approach is required, considering educational, economic, and healthcare access factors to ensure effective interventions in reducing the incidence and severity of pneumonia among children.

Abstract

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) remains a major public health problem, requiring effective mosquito breeding site control through the 3M-Plus program involving community participation, including elementary school students. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of the Dengue Ranger educational board game and the Ministry of Health leaflet in improving students' knowledge of Aedes aegypti breeding sites and 3M-Plus practices. A quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent control group design was conducted among 213 students from grades 3–6 at SD Negeri 37 Ampenan. Participants were selected using cluster sampling and assigned to the board game group (n = 108) or the leaflet group (n = 105). Knowledge was assessed using a validated questionnaire before the intervention, immediately after, and seven days later. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Mann–Whitney U test. Knowledge scores increased significantly in both groups (p < 0.05). The mean score increased from 10.50 to 12.44 in the board game group and from 10.79 to 12.05 in the leaflet group. The board game demonstrated significantly greater improvement than the leaflet (p < 0.05). However, no significant difference was observed in knowledge retention after seven days (p > 0.05). These findings indicate that the Dengue Ranger educational board game is more effective than leaflets in improving elementary school students' knowledge of Aedes aegypti breeding sites and 3M-Plus practices, while both media provide comparable short-term knowledge retention.
