Abstract

Stunting is a long-term nutritional disorder that ultimately affects a child's physical and cognitive development. One non-pharmacological intervention to prevent stunting is baby massage, which can stimulate appetite, improve blood circulation, and provide sensory and motor stimulation. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of education about baby massage in increasing mothers' knowledge of stunting prevention. The method used was a one-group pretest-posttest design involving 14 mothers in Gedongan Village, Sukoharjo. The intervention was conducted through socialization, baby massage practice, and the distribution of leaflets. The analysis results showed a significant increase in mothers' knowledge levels after the intervention, with the category of good knowledge rising from 64.3% to 92.9%, while the poor category decreased from 35.7% to 7.1% (p = 0.025). These findings indicate that education about baby massage effectively enhances mothers' understanding of stunting prevention. Therefore, similar educational programs should be integrated into community-based stunting prevention efforts to support optimal child growth.

Abstract

Introduction: CTS is a musculoskeletal disorder caused by compression of the median nerve, commonly occurring in informal sector workers, particularly those engaged in repetitive wrist movements, which can lead to reduced hand function and work productivity. This study aims to determine the relationship between occupational risk factors and pain with the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) score in informal sector workers with CTS after kinesiotaping. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design. Respondents were informal sector workers with CTS symptoms who met the inclusion criteria. The BCTQ score was used as a measure of hand function and CTS symptoms. Statistical analysis used Spearman's correlation test and linear regression. Results: Spearman's correlation analysis showed that age had a weak and insignificant negative correlation with BCTQ scores (sig. 0.170; R = -0.234). Repetitive movements showed a moderate and significant negative correlation (sig. 0.020; R = -0.385). Meanwhile, night pain and daytime pain showed a very strong and significant correlation with BCTQ scores (sig. 0.000; R = 0.928). The results of the linear regression test supported these findings, in which age (sig. 0.705) and repetitive movements (sig. 0.894) had no significant effect on BCTQ scores, while night pain and daytime pain showed a significant effect on increasing BCTQ scores. Conclusion: Kinesiotaping is effective in reducing BCTQ scores in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), particularly through the reduction of pain, both night pain and activity pain.
