Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the influence of maternal factors on stunting in young children aged 24-59 months. Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in a subdistrict of Padang. The dependent variable was stunting, and the independent variables were maternal factors. The sample number was 155, and it was collected using stratified and consecutive sampling techniques. Chi-square and logistic regression were applied in data analysis. Results: The study reveals no significant difference between stunted and non-stunted under-five children in terms of the following maternal factors: age at pregnancy, body mass index (BMI), gestational age, upper arm circumference, height, and education. However, both groups showed a significant difference in terms of the number of children (p = 0.041), parenting style (p = 0.006), and knowledge (p = 0.039). Logistic regression analysis showed that mothers who had poor parenting styles had a 3.186 times higher risk of having children with stunting compared to mothers who had good parenting styles (95% CI: 1.382-7.348). Conclusion: The mother's parenting style was the most influential factor in the incidence of stunting among children in Padang City. More effective preventive and intervention measures to overcome the problem of stunting need to pay attention to maternal parenting style, knowledge, and the number of children.

Abstract

Cervical cancer is the second leading cause of death due to cancer in women after breast cancer, especially in developing countries. The high morbidity and mortality rates of cervical cancer according to WHO are due to delays in treatment. This happens because of the delay in early detection of cancer and the lack of public knowledge about the symptoms of cervical cancer. Based on the results of a survey conducted at RW 1 Batuang Taba Village, Lubuk Begalung District, there were 71% of women of childbearing age who were sexually active, with 93% of them having never done early detection of cervical cancer either by IVA or Pap Smear methods. For this reason, it is necessary to revive public awareness to carry out early detection of cervical cancer, one of which is health education. Based on an analysis of the pretest and posttest questionnaires given to 12 women, the Wilcoxon test showed that the education provided had a significant effect on increasing women's knowledge (Z = -3.126, p = 0.002). The percentage of knowledge increased significantly from 58.3% to 83.3% after education. Apart from that, from the post-test questionnaire, it was also known that as many as 91.7% of women were interested in early detection of cervical cancer. This activity succeeded in increasing the knowledge and interest of women of childbearing age regarding early detection of cervical cancer so that it is hoped that it can increase the awareness of women of childbearing age to carry out early detection of cervical cancer every 5 years in women of childbearing age.
