Abstract: The incidence of low birth weight (LBW) is one of the most important health problems in the world. Nationally, LBW is still a significant problem and affects maternal and child health in various regions. Based on a preliminary survey conducted at RSUD Melawi, there were 6 LBW babies out of 10 mothers who gave birth which was related to the age of the mother. Based on the income aspect, there were 4 low-income mothers and 2 high-income mothers. The purpose of the study was to determine the correlation of demographic and economic aspects of the family with the incidence of Low Birth Weight Infants (LBW). The research design used in this study was case control. The study was conducted in January 2024 at the Melawi Regional General Hospital. The population was pregnant women who gave birth at the Melawi Regional General Hospital during January to December 2023 as many as 248 people. The sample amounted to 35 case respondents and 35 control respondents selected using accidental sampling. The research instrument used a research questionnaire. Data analysis was done univariate and bivariate. The results showed there was a relationship between maternal age (p value: 0.001) and no relationship between family economy (p value: 0.623) with the incidence of Low Birth Weight Infants (LBW). It is recommended for the hospital to improve the ability to handle pregnant women at risk so as to help smooth the delivery and for pregnant women to routinely visit to check their pregnancy in order to know how the development of the fetus in the womb.Keywords: Low Birth Weight Infants, Demographic Aspects, Family Economics.

Abstract

Adolescence is a critical period that is vulnerable to health issues, including anemia, which is triggered by deficiencies in iron, folic acid, and vitamin C. This study aims to analyze the nutritional content of seaweed chips as an alternative snack to combat anemia in adolescent girls. Using an experimental design, two variants of seaweed chips (original and spicy) were analyzed for their macro- and micronutrient content, including protein, iron, folic acid, and vitamin C. The results showed that the original chips contained an average of 7.1% protein and 39.97 μg/g of iron, while the spicy chips had a higher vitamin C content (67.1%) but lower iron levels (33.1 μg/g). The folic acid content in both variants was very low (<0.25 mg/kg). Nevertheless, the high vitamin C content in the spicy chips can enhance iron absorption, supporting efforts to prevent anemia. Although these seaweed chips cannot be relied upon as a primary source of protein or folic acid, they offer a healthy, low-calorie snack alternative.

Abstract

Introduction: Health education is crucial in increasing public knowledge about reproductive health, including Family Planning. The leaflet serves as a medium for conveying information, the effectiveness of which is measured by how well the leaflet helps in better understanding implant contraception, including its benefits, risks, installation procedure, and maintenance. This increase in knowledge is then expected to encourage more accurate decision-making regarding the use of implant contraceptives. Objective: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of leaflet media in health education on increasing mothers' knowledge about implant contraception at the Kurra Health Center in Tana Toraja Regency. Method: The research design used is a pre-experiment with a one-group pre-post test design. The research population consists of all Women of Childbearing Age (WUS) in Lembang Rante Limbong, the working area of Puskesmas Kurra, totaling 131 individuals. A sample of 57 individuals was selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test or Wilcoxon test, depending on the data distribution. Result: The research results show a p-value of 0.000, which is smaller than the α value of 0.05. Conclusion: There is an effectiveness of leaflet media in health education toward increasing mothers' knowledge about implant contraception at the Kurra Health Center, Tana Toraja Regency. This increase in knowledge is expected to help WUS make wiser decisions regarding family planning and choose contraceptive methods that align with their needs and preferences.
