Abstract

Background: The nutritional status of pregnant women is a key determinant of maternal health and fetal development, particularly in socioeconomically vulnerable coastal areas. Telaga Dewa Health Center recorded the highest prevalence of Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) among pregnant women in Bengkulu City in 2023, with 111 cases, and 73 cases were still found in 2024. Objective: This study aimed to identify the factors associated with the nutritional status of pregnant women in the coastal area. Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed involving 71 pregnant women selected through random sampling. The independent variables were nutritional knowledge, dietary patterns, and family income, while the dependent variable was nutritional status measured using Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC). Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods with the Chi-Square test at a 0.05 significance level. Result: The results showed that 40.8% of respondents had low nutritional knowledge, 57.7% had unbalanced dietary patterns, 63.4% had family incomes ≤ IDR 2,930,669, and 38.0% were undernourished. Significant associations were found between nutritional status and nutritional knowledge (p = 0.002), dietary patterns (p = 0.015), and family income (p = 0.026). Cobclusion: This study concludes that improving nutritional knowledge, promoting balanced dietary practices, and strengthening family economic capacity are essential to enhancing the nutritional status of pregnant women in coastal communities.

The program focused on delivering health education through counseling sessions, demonstrations of proper handwashing with soap (CTPS), distribution of informational leaflets, and environmental observation. Evaluation was carried out using pre-test and post-test assessments to measure changes in knowledge and behavior. The results showed an approximate 30% increase in community knowledge, improved handwashing habits, and initial implementation of better household waste management practices. In addition, residents demonstrated increased enthusiasm for routine health check-ups. Overall, this program effectively encouraged positive health behavior changes and strengthened community awareness regarding the importance of maintaining clean and healthy living practices.

Abstract

Background: The Youth Posyandu is a community-based health service effort aimed at improving the health status of adolescents through promotive and preventive measures. Although this program has been implemented in various regions, its execution is still not optimal, including in the coastal area of Bentiring Health Center in Bengkulu City. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the implementation of the Youth Posyandu Program based on three main aspects: input, process, and output.Research Method: The method used is qualitative descriptive with a case study approach. The informants in the study consist of the head of the health center, program officers, cadres, and adolescent participants of the Posyandu. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using data reduction techniques, data presentation, and qualitative conclusion drawing.Research Results: The results show that the input aspect still has weaknesses, such as a lack of trained personnel, minimal special funding, and insufficient supporting facilities. In the process aspect, planning and implementation of activities have not been maximized due to a lack of adolescent involvement and the absence of routine evaluations. From the output aspect, the attendance and participation rates of adolescents are still low, although there is an increase in knowledge among some adolescents who actively participate.Recommendations: The researchers recommend that Bentiring Health Center enhance cadre training, optimize facilities and infrastructure, strengthen adolescent participation through ongoing education, and conduct routine monitoring and evaluation to make the Youth Posyandu Program more effective and sustainable.

Abstract

Intoduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the leading causes of death from infectious diseases worldwide. According to data from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia (2023), the national prevalence of pulmonary TB is recorded at 0.30%, with Central Papua having the highest prevalence at 1.15% and Bali the lowest at 0.09%. According to WHO data (2024), Southeast Asia accounts for 46% of the total global TB cases. This situation indicates that TB control remains a top priority, especially in developing countries like Indonesia. This study aims to determine the effect of the KAP model on tuberculosis occurrence in the Working Area of Padang Serai Health Center of ​​Bengkulu City in 2025. Method: The method used in this study was a quantitative analytical study with a cross-sectional approach, with a sample of 91 people using total random sampling. Data analysis used Chi-square and logistic regression. Result and Discussion: Univariate analysis results showed that respondents had good knowledge (58.2%), favorable attitudes (59.3%), and good behavior (65.9%). Bivariate analysis results showed a significant correlation between knowledge (p=0.000), attitude (p=0.000), and behavior (p=0.001) and the occurrence of pulmonary TB. Multivariate analysis results showed that only attitude had a statistically significant effect on the incidence of pulmonary TB (p=0.013; OR=7.978; 95% CI: 1.537–41.428). Conclusion: It is expected that community health centers can coordinate with health workers to provide health education regarding the causes of tuberculosis and tuberculosis prevention, as well as encourage the community to actively participate in tuberculosis prevention activities at the health center.

Abstract

Typhoid fever is a major health problem in both developed and developing countries. Indonesia, with its tropical climate, makes tropical diseases easily spread. The prevalence of typhoid fever is increasing, with 8.5 million people infected and 10.2 million people infected. In Indonesia, the prevalence of typhoid fever also increases annually. Data from 2022 recorded 736,000 typhoid fever patients in Indonesia. Data from 2023 recorded approximately 645,000 typhoid fever patients in Indonesia. Estimated data for 2024 indicate a trend of cases remaining high, at approximately 690,000 cases. This research is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. The sample used was accidental sampling over a one-week period. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results of the study showed that almost most of the respondents had a risky age, namely 52 people (53%%), most of the respondents had good knowledge, namely 35 people (36.1%), and most of the respondents had a history of typhoid fever, namely 45 people (46.4%) and almost all of the respondents had the habit of eating outside the home, namely 58 people (59.8%). There was a significant correlation in the age variable (p-value = 0.002 <α 0.05), there was a significant correlation in the Knowledge variable (p-value = 0.005 <α 0.05), there was a significant correlation in the typhoid fever history variable (p-value = 0.005 <α 0.05). There was no correlation between the variable of eating out habits (p-value = 1.000 < α 0.05). The health center is expected to coordinate more frequently with health authorities to monitor and improve surveys and provide education. The community is also expected to be actively involved in participating in typhoid fever prevention activities at Sawah Lebar Health Center.
