Abstract

Breakfast is an important habit to support learning concentration, energy fulfillment, and prevent nutritional disorders in elementary school children. However, most children still skip breakfast due to a lack of knowledge and awareness about the importance of a healthy breakfast. This study aims to determine the effect of health education on increasing knowledge about the importance of breakfast among elementary school students in Medan Sunggal District, Medan City. This study used a pre-experimental one group pretest–posttest design. Data collection was conducted through interviews using a structured questionnaire that measured the level of student knowledge before and after being given health education. Education was carried out through an interactive lecture method with video media about balanced nutrition. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test at a 95% confidence level. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge scores after health education (p < 0.000). This indicates that health education has an effect on increasing student knowledge about the importance of breakfast. It is hoped that schools and parents will collaborate continuously through educational activities about nutrition and health as an effort to prevent nutritional problems in elementary school students who are the next generation of the nation

Abstract

Coastal areas are often faced with complex public health challenges due to environmental vulnerability and limited access to sanitation facilities. Poor sanitation contributes to a high prevalence of environment-related diseases such as diarrhea and malnutrition among children under five. This quasi-experimental study included 30 households with toddlers in Medan Belawan, Medan City. The Participatory Hygiene and Sanitation Transformation (PHAST) method was implemented to empower families in managing sanitation and hygiene practices. Data were collected through observation and assessment of household sanitation conditions before and after the intervention. Analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test at a 95% confidence interval due to non-normal data distribution. The results showed a significant improvement in household sanitation scores after the PHAST intervention (Z = -3.905; p < 0.05). Approximately 63.3% of households had increased scores, particularly in handwashing at critical times, waste management, as well as water and food storage practices, signifying a meaningful magnitude of behavioral change. However, this study was limited by its small sample size, absence of a control group, and short observation period, which hindered causal inference and generalizability. Despite the limitations, the evidences suggest that PHAST is a promising method for improving household sanitation management and hygiene behavior in coastal settings. Future studies with larger samples and controlled designs are recommended to assess sustainability and long-term health outcomes Keywords: Household Sanitation, Environmental Diseases, Coastal Area, PHAST

Abstract

Utilization of the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Handbook plays a crucial role in monitoring the health and development of children under five years of age; however, its uptake remains suboptimal. According to the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (SKI), MCH Handbook utilization for under-five growth monitoring in North Sumatra Province was only 67.9%, below the national average of 74.4%. This study aimed to analyze the influence of sociodemographic factors and healthcare accessibility on MCH Handbook utilization for under-five child monitoring in North Sumatra Province. A cross-sectional design was employed using secondary data from the 2023 SKI. The study sample comprised 4,164 under-five children who owned or had previously owned an MCH Handbook in North Sumatra. Data were analyzed through univariate frequency distribution, bivariate chi-square testing, and multivariate multiple logistic regression using the backward stepwise (likelihood ratio) method. The multivariate analysis demonstrated that health insurance ownership (AOR = 1.389; 95% CI = 1.215–1.587), maternal education (AOR = 1.326; 95% CI = 1.107–1.588), maternal age (AOR = 1.163; 95% CI = 1.009–1.339), and maternal employment (AOR = 1.161; 95% CI = 1.007–1.338) were significant positive predictors of MCH Handbook utilization, while longer travel time to health facilities (AOR = 0.690; 95% CI = 0.503–0.946) was inversely associated. Area classification was not statistically significant. These findings underscore the need for sustained health education targeting mothers, maintenance of universal health insurance coverage, and strengthening of community-based health services particularly posyandu to optimize MCH Handbook utilization in North Sumatra.
