Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is still a health problem and a severe threat in some areas of Indonesia. This disease not only has an impact on the health sector, the social sector, and the community's economy but also anxiety for health workers during the rainy season. The objective is to find out the anxiety experienced by health workers regarding DHF during the rainy season, the causal factors, and how to anticipate them. The method was a phenomenological approach with descriptive analysis. The stages include bracketing, intuitive, analyzing, and describing. The research was conducted during the rainy season in December 2022. Five informants were randomly selected to represent the regions of Aceh, West Java, East Java, Flores, South Maluku, and Papua. Primary data were obtained from semi-structured interviews with four. Secondary data were obtained from official documents and reputable journals for the last five years. The data were processed using phenomenology (bracketing, intuitive, analyzing, and describing) and descriptively analyzed. Results show healthcare workers experience anxiety that can potentially arise due to changing seasons during the rainy season (18.75%), the dynamics of government regulations against DHF (31.25%), increased workload especially during the Covid-19 pandemic (31.25%), and the location of the place work (18.75%). Program enrichment in the form of debriefing training in dealing with DHF for healthcare workers in case-prone places needs to emphasize helping psychological and mental readiness so that it can reduce the level of anxiety when there is a change in weather which is followed by an increase in the incidence rate of DHF. Abstrak: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) masih menjadi masalah kesehatan dan ancaman serius di sejumlah wilayah di Indonesia. Penyakit ini tidak hanya berdampak terhadap sektor kesehatan, sektor sosial dan ekonomi masyarakat, namun juga terhadap kecemasan bagi petugas kesehatan. Tujuannya untuk mengetahui sejauh mana kecemasan petugas kesehatan terhadap DHF selama musim penghujan, faktor penyebab serta bagaimana mengantisipasinya. Pendekatan penelitian ini fenomenologi dengan analisis descriptive. Tahapannya mencakup bracketing, intuiting, analyzing, dan describing. Penelitian dilakukan selama musim hujan bulan Desember 2022. Lima informan dalam penelitian ini dipilih secara random untuk mewakili wilayah Aceh, Jawa Barat, Jawa Timur, Flores, Maluku Selatan dan Papua. Data primer diperoleh dari hasil interview semi struktur dengan empat tema. Data sekunder diperoleh dari dokumen resmi dan jurnal bereputasi selama lima tahun terakhir. Olah data menggunakan fenomenologi (bracketing, intuiting, analyzing and describing) dan dianalisis secara descriptive. Hasilnya petugas mengalami kecemasan yang secara potensial bisa timbul karena adanya perubahan musim khususnya pada musim hujan (18.75%), dinamika aturan pemerintah terhadap DHF (31.25%), peningkatan beban kerja khususnya selama pandemic Covid-19 (31.25%), dan lokasi tempat kerja (18.75%). Kesimpulannya pengkayaan program berupa pelatihan pembekalan dalam menghadapi DHF bagi healthcare workers di tempat yang rawan kasus perlu penekanan dalam membantu kesiapan mental psikologis sehingga bisa mengurangi tingkat anxiety ketika terjadi  perubahan cuaca yang diikuti meningkatnya incidence rate DHF

Abstract

Most of the causes of under-five deaths are related to malnutrition due to improper feeding practices during infancy, for example giving complementary foods to breast milk that are too early or too late. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the provision of complementary foods for breast milk and the nutritional status of toddlers aged 6-36 months. This study applied a cross-sectional design, involving 88 toddlers aged 6-36 months, who were selected by simple random sampling technique. Data was collected by filling out questionnaires, weighing and measuring height. To analyze the relationship between the two variables, the Kendall's Tau correlation test was used. The results showed that the majority of children under five who were given complementary food to breast milk at the age of <6 months experienced nutritional problems. Meanwhile, the majority of toddlers who were given complementary food for breast milk ≥ 6 months had normal nutritional status. The Kendall's Tau test results showed p-value of 0.000. It could be concluded that there is a relationship between the age at first giving complementary foods for breast milk and the nutritional status of toddlers.Keywords: complementary food for breast milk; toddler; nutritional status ABSTRAK Sebagian besar penyebab kematian balita berkaitan dengan kekurangan gizi akibat praktik pemberian makan yang tidak benar pada masa bayi, misalnya pemberian makanan pendamping air susu ibu yang terlalu dini atau terlambat.

Abstract

Unmet need is a condition where women of reproductive age (WUS) are sexually active but do not use contraception. In 2024, Terung Village recorded an unmet need rate of 11.31%. This condition poses a risk to population control efforts. One contributing factor is the level of husband support. This study aims to analyze the relationship between husband support and unmet need incidence in WUS in Terung Village. The research used an observational, cross-sectional design with 163 respondents selected through simple random sampling. Husband support served as the independent variable, while unmet need was the dependent variable. Data were collected using questionnaires and open interviews, and analyzed using the Chi-Square test.Results showed that 30.1% of WUS experienced unmet need, primarily among women over 35 years old, with elementary education, as housewives, having more than one child, and middle-income status. WUS without husband support had a higher unmet need rate (45.2%) compared to those with full support (10%). The Chi-Square analysis indicated a significant relationship between husband support and unmet need (p = 0.000; α = 0.05). The novelty of this study lies in the considerable disparity in unmet need based on the presence or absence of husband support. Findings emphasize the importance of involving men in family planning decisions, suggesting the need for community-based education to enhance husband participation in contraceptive use.

Abstract

Menopause is a physiological phase marked by the cessation of ovarian function and a decrease in estrogen, which affects a woman’s physical, psychological, and social condition. An important factor in facing this is self-confidence, which helps women adapt and maintain their quality of life. This study aimed to find out the influence of self-confidence on the quality of life of perimenopausal women in Kembangan Village, Sukomoro District, Magetan Regency. The design was correlational with a cross-sectional approach on 100 women aged 45–49 years using simple random sampling. Data collection was conducted using the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) questionnaire to measure self-confidence and the Menopause-Specific Quality of Life (MENQOL) to measure quality of life, questionnaires and analyzed with the Chi-Square test at a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed that most respondents had high self-confidence (88%) and good quality of life (93%). Women with high self-confidence had a good quality of life of 95.5%, while the low self-confidence group was 75.0%. The Chi-Square test showed p = 0.036 (p < 0.05), which proves that there is a significant effect of self-confidence on the quality of life of perimenopausal women. In conclusion, the higher the self-confidence, the better their quality of life, so health education and psychological support are needed to improve it

Abstract

The development of the health sector, as part of national development, is directed toward improving the quality of human resources. One of the indicators of successful health development is the reduction of infant mortality rates and the improvement of community nutritional status. Optimal nutritional status can only be achieved when good nutritional practices are implemented at every stage of life, including during infancy . Failures in breastfeeding often stem from a lack of information. The study by Ambarwati, Setiyani, and Usnawati (2017) indicates that breastfeeding discussion classes can improve breastfeeding practices among breastfeeding mothers (Ambarwati, Setiyani, and Usnawati, 2017). Parents’ Education has also been shown to be effective in improving the knowledge and attitudes of primigravida couples regarding exclusive breastfeeding. Efforts to enhance knowledge and attitudes toward exclusive breastfeeding must be continuously strengthened and followed by an evaluation of exclusive breastfeeding practices (Usnawati, 2017). Based on these findings, it is necessary to establish a Breastfeeding Support Group (KP-ASI) and implement breastfeeding assistance programs. The establishment of KP-ASI and the breastfeeding assistance program will be carried out through the following strategies: Phase 1: Issuance of an official request letter from Sumberdodol Village for the formation of a breastfeeding support group. Educational materials will be provided to third-trimester pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers. Phase 2: Delivery of educational materials to Posyandu cadres, third-trimester pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers. The training session will be conducted once. The education session in the village is scheduled for Tuesday, September 9, 2025. Phase 3: Developing a meeting plan and activity schedule for the members and committee of the Breastfeeding Support Group (KP-ASI) for the following month.
