Abstract

Stunting is still a public health problem in Indonesia, particularly in one with less of nutrition and health knowledge. It results in long-term impacts on learning, cognitive development, productivity, and risk of noncommunicable diseases. The relationship between home visits by community health workers and the concomitant effect of digital innovations to prevent stunting can be seen in this study, where it was conducted in Nagari Dusun Baru Tapan, Pesisir Selatan, West Sumatra. These community services were incorporated into the 2025 Community Service Program of Andalas University which included promo-gizi, local processed food processing training and monitoring of nutritional status in toddlers using Android-based application GiziAnakKu. The program was centered around 1,000 days of life as a crucial window period for child development through nutrition, including the practice of exclusive breastfeeding and complementary feeding and balanced diet behaviors. Results from surveillance showed that most of the toddlers possessed acceptable nutrition (85.3%), however, 14.7% were stunted and 8.8% had an increased risk of overnutrition indicating double burden of malnutrition. Attendees appreciated the training and reinforced the value of sustainable community-based intervention. Through empowerment of community health workers and use of digital technology, the present study adds to definitions for comprehensive stunting prevention that can become best practice in similar areas.

Abstract

Background: Breast cancer is one of the leading health problems among women worldwide, including in Indonesia. More than 80% of cases in Indonesia are diagnosed at an advanced stage and are associated with low survival rates. Objective: This study aims to analyze the survival of breast cancer patients at Andalas University Hospital from 2019 to 2023. Methods: This study employed a retrospective cohort design. Secondary data were collected from breast cancer patients at Andalas University Hospital between 2019 and 2023. A total of 52 breast cancer patients were selected using simple random sampling. The data were analyzed using survival analysis methods, including the log-rank test, Kaplan–Meier curves, and Cox regression. Results: During the five-year observation period, 63.5% of patients experienced the event of interest. Most breast cancer patients at Andalas University Hospital from 2019 to 2023 were over 45 years old (75.0%), unemployed (69.2%), diagnosed at clinical stage IV (40.4%), had anemia (51.9%), and received combination therapy (59.6%). A significant association was found between cancer stage and patient survival. However, age, employment status, type of treatment, and anemia status were not significantly associated with breast cancer patient survival.
