Abstract

Dampak stunting tidak hanya terbatas pada tinggi badan yang tidak sesuai usia, tetapi juga berkaitan erat dengan penurunan kecerdasan, Pengabdian ini bertujuan menurunkan angka stunting melalui pendekatan home visit. Sepuluh anak yang menjadi sasaran pengabdian didapatkan dari data Puskesmas Jenis pengabdian ini adalah pengabdian pengabdian pengabdian penelitian kuantitatif dengan desain eksperimen semu (quasi experiment). Populasi yang digunakan adalah ibu-ibu yang memiliki balita usia 0–59 bulan yang tinggal di wilayah kerja Puskesmas X. Sampel pengabdian diambil secara purposive sampling. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji statistik deskriptif dan inferensial. Metode pengabdian meliputi wawancara keluarga, pengukuran tinggi dan berat badan, pemberian suplemen (asam folat, vitamin B12, zat besi), serta distribusi bahan pangan bergizi. Instrumen pengukuran tinggi badan dan berat badan berupa microtoise dan timbangan digital. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan 8 anak mengalami peningkatan tinggi badan, sedangkan 7 anak naik berat badan, 1 berat badan tetap, dan 2 berat badan menurun akibat gangguan kesehatan. Keluarga asuh merespons positif, menyatakan home visit membantu meningkatkan status gizi anak. Intervensi ini menunjukkan efektivitas pendekatan langsung dalam menangani stunting, dengan menekankan pentingnya edukasi, sanitasi, dan pola makan seimbang. Implikasi Pengabdian ini dapat digunakan sebagai model penguatan intervensi berbasis keluarga dalam pencegahan stunting dan mendukung kebijakan kesehatan masyarakat yang berkelanjutan.

Abstract

Diarrhea significantly contributes to the high rates of illness and death among young children. Diarrhea can be caused by bacterial infections, viruses, or even parasites. Blastocystis hominis causes parasitic diarrhea, which can be identified by microscopy, culture, and molecular methods. Previous reports have modified the Jones’ culture medium using three different serums, such as human plasma, donkey serum, and horse serum (in Jones’ medium). This research replaces horse serum with fetal bovine serum for detection tests, morphological observation, and diagnosis of B. hominis. The research encompasses five experimental groups, each subjected to varying concentrations of fetal bovine serum: 2%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%. Detection analysis is conducted using the Mc-Nemar test, while the Wilcoxon test is applied to evaluate ordinal data from morphological assessments. Diagnostic tests and metrics such as accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) are performed using MedCalc® software. The findings demonstrate that serum concentrations of 2%, 10%, 20%, and 30% produced effective results in detection tests, morphological identification, and diagnostic evaluations of B. hominis, exhibiting high sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy. Fetal bovine serum can be used at a concentration of 2% in a Jones’ medium that has been modified. This depends on the results of detection tests, morphology, and diagnosis.

Abstract

Helminthiasis, particularly that caused by Ascaris lumbricoides, is a major global health issue, especially in areas with poor sanitation. One method for preventing and controlling Ascaris lumbricoides infection is through identification via the Kato-Katz diagnostic technique. The use of synthetic dyes, such as methylene blue, in the Kato-Katz method raises concerns for both human health and the environment. In humans, methylene blue causes skin irritation, gastrointestinal issues upon ingestion, and systemic effects. Furthermore, its environmental impact includes reducing light penetration and acting as a toxic component in food chains. An alternative approach involves utilizing post-use offerings from Hindu rituals in Bali, known as canang, which consist of flower components such as Impatiens balsamina L. and Tagetes erecta. The natural dyes found in these flowers serve as an alternative to traditional staining methods. This study examined the efficacy of flower extracts as stainings using the cellophane absorption test, helminth egg detection and morphology identification, pH test, and measurement of heavy metal concentration. The dye made from canang flower waste at 3% did not differ much from manufactured stainings. Thus, canang flower waste is a safe alternative.
