Abstract

The incidence of stunting in Indonesia remains a major public health concern. Child, parent, household, neighborhood, and community characteristics and factors were strongly associated with the incidence of stunting. Stunting not only affects children's physical growth but also has a direct impact on cognitive development and future learning ability. Bulurejo Village, Wonogiri, is a rural area facing serious challenges related to nutrition and stunting of children. In general, the goal of this program is to raise awareness of the importance of early screening and stunting prevention in Bulurejo Village and to improve the community's knowledge of balanced nutrition and child health practices. Therefore, they can implement community-based stunting prevention measures. The program included exploration as a stunting screening effort and continued with community empowerment through community education and counseling activities. Overall, the total number of toddlers measured in the screening process was 104 out of 107 toddlers (98%) in seven hamlets, which shows an STD% stunting incidence rate of 13.4% in the July 2024 measurement period. The results of community counseling evaluated using the pretest and posttest showed an increase in knowledge from 30% of participants who knew stunting to 75% after counseling. Health promotion is the initial and main stage of the stunting prevention process in Bulurejo Village. Community-based empowerment has been proven to be an effective method for increasing community knowledge, especially regarding stunting. This program successfully explored the problem of stunting and empowering communities through education and training. The program is expected to continue and expand by involving more community members and the capacity of health cadres.

Abstract

The use of synthetic insecticides in treating myiasis is associated with adverse side effects and potential disruption of metabolic systems, prompting interest in natural alternatives. This study investigated the in vivo larvicidal efficacy of Gigantochloa apus bamboo shoot extract, formulated as a spray gel. Twenty-five Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: a negative control group, a positive control (ivermectin), and 3 treatment groups receiving of 1%, 3%, and 5% G. apus bamboo shoot extract. Myiasis was induced by introducing fly larvae into standardized wounds. Treatments were applied topically twice daily for 32 hr, and larval mortality was assessed every 8 hr. Phytochemical screening and GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of bioactive compounds, including alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and hydrogen cyanide, all of which are known for their larvicidal, neurotoxic, and antiproliferative properties. The 5% extract group showed the highest mortality rate (100%) at 32 hr. The LC50 and LC95 values were determined at 1.43% and 6.01%, respectively. Compared to the standard ivermectin treatment, the 5% extract demonstrated a shorter lethal time and more rapid larval death. Morphological examination revealed darker abdominal segments in the dead larvae, indicating a potential interaction with the digestive tract. These findings indicate that G. apus bamboo shoot extract has potential larvicidal activity and can be an effective natural alternative for treating myiasis.
