Background: Malnutrition is a deficiency, excess or imbalance in a person's energy and/or nutritional intake. Based on the 2022 Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey (SSGI), the prevalence of wasting in toddlers is 7.7% and stunting in toddlers is 21.6%. Providing Supplementary Food (PMT) made from local food is one of the strategies for handling nutritional problems in toddlers and pregnant women. Objective: To determine the impact of providing local supplementary feeding (PMT) on cases of undernutrition and severe malnutrition in the working area of Olak Kemang Public Health Center from October 2024 to January 20. Method: This study is descriptive method and uses a mixed-method approach, consisting of interviews and questionnaires. Interviews were conducted with the head of the Olak Kemang Public Health Center, nutrition officers and mothers of toddlers. The questionnaire was given to mothers of toddlers whose children experienced weight stagnation and malnutrition. Result: From 25 respondents and interviews with the head of Olak Kemang public health center and nutrition officers, several factor were identified as contributing to impact of providing local supplementary feeding on malnutrition in the working area of Olak Kemang Public Health Center. These include the increase in weight-for-age (W/A) in toddlers receiving supplementary feeding (PMT) was not significant compared to the increase in weight-for-height (W/H) based on Olak Kemang Health center reporting and recording data. Conclusion: The study found that the prioritized issue was the increase in weight-for-age (W/A) in toddlers receiving supplementary feeding (PMT) was not significant compared to the increase in weightfor-height (W/H).

Abstract

Background: Early detection of suspected pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) cases is essential to reduce transmission and improve treatment outcomes. However, case detection efforts at the community level may be limited by various individual and service-related factors. Objective: This study aimed to analyze factors associated with efforts to detect suspected pulmonary TB cases in the working area of Olak Kemang Public Health Center in 2024. Methods: An analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 120 respondents living in the health center coverage area. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire covering sociodemographic characteristics and factors related to TB suspected-case detection efforts. Univariate analysis was used to describe respondent characteristics, and bivariate analysis using the Chi-square test was applied to assess the association between independent variables and detection efforts, with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: The majority of respondents were female (62.5%) and aged 25–44 years (48.3%). Bivariate analysis showed that education level (p=0.006), exposure to TB-related information (p=0.001), knowledge about TB (p<0.001), attitude toward TB screening (p<0.001), access to health services (p=0.002), and perceived stigma (p<0.001) were significantly associated with efforts to detect suspected pulmonary TB cases. Meanwhile, sex (p=0.458) and age (p=0.291) were not significantly associated with detection efforts. Conclusion: Efforts to detect suspected pulmonary TB cases were strongly influenced by modifiable factors including education, information exposure, knowledge, attitude, service accessibility, and stigma. Strengthening TB health education, expanding community outreach, improving access to services, and reducing stigma are recommended to enhance early detection and support TB control programs.
