Abstract

Hypertension is a global health problem with an increasing prevalence, including in South Lampung Regency. One of its main causes is modifiable risk factors such as excessive sodium intake and psychological stress. This study aimed to determine the relationship between sodium intake and stress levels with the incidence of hypertension in the outpatient unit of UPTD Talang Jawa Health Center. This research employed a cross-sectional design with a total sample of 37 respondents aged 18–65 years, selected using a consecutive sampling technique. Data collection was conducted from May to June 2025 using a Semi Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), and blood pressure measurements with a sphygmomanometer. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test with a significance level of 5%. The results showed that the prevalence of hypertension was 73%, with 40.5% of respondents having high sodium intake and 48.6% experiencing severe stress. A significant relationship was found between sodium intake and hypertension (p = 0.002), as well as between stress levels and hypertension (p = 0.001). In conclusion, high sodium intake and severe stress are significantly associated with hypertension. It is recommended that health centers strengthen nutrition education and stress management to prevent hypertension.

Abstract

Wasting remains a major public health problem in Indonesia. In Bandar Lampung City, the prevalence of wasting reached 8.4% in 2023, and in the working area of Kotakarang Public Health Center, it has continued to increase from 8.2% (2022) to 10.9% (2024). This study aimed to determine the relationship between knowledge, parenting patterns, and infectious diseases with the incidence of wasting among children under five. This quantitative study used a cross-sectional design and was conducted from June 7–28, 2025, in the working area of Kotakarang Public Health Center. The population consisted of 1,281 children aged 19–60 months, with 112 samples selected using stratified sampling. Data on knowledge, parenting patterns, and infectious diseases were collected through questionnaires, while wasting was assessed using anthropometric measurements. Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Chi-Square test. The results showed significant relationships between knowledge (p = 0.001), parenting patterns (p = 0.002), and infectious diseases (p = 0.001) with wasting incidence. Children whose mothers had low knowledge, poor parenting, or a history of infectious disease were at higher risk of wasting. Infectious diseases showed the strongest association (OR = 25.5).In conclusion, improving maternal knowledge, enhancing parenting practices, and preventing infectious diseases are essential to reduce wasting. Recommended: the health center should strengthen education, screening, counseling, and home visits focusing on nutrition, sanitation, and hygiene.

Abstract

Anemia in pregnant women remains a major public health problem that increases the risk of pregnancy complications, childbirth difficulties, as well as maternal and infant mortality. One preventive effort is the provision of iron (Fe) tablets; however, adherence to consumption among pregnant women is still low. This study aims to analyze the factors associated with pregnant women’s adherence in consuming Fe tablets at Kedaton Public Health Center, Bandar Lampung City in 2025.This research employed a cross-sectional design with a quantitative approach. The study population consisted of 334 pregnant women who underwent antenatal examinations from January to April 2025, with a sample of 77 respondents selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the chi-square test with a 95% confidence level (α=0.05).The results showed that age (p=0.000), education (p=0.045), knowledge (p=0.009), attitude (p=0.022), and husband’s support (p=0.009) were significantly associated with adherence to Fe tablet consumption. The majority of non-compliance was caused by limited knowledge and low awareness of the benefits of iron supplementation.In conclusion, age, education, knowledge, attitude, and husband’s support significantly influence adherence to Fe tablet consumption. It is recommended that health workers strengthen nutrition education programs and involve families in supporting pregnant women to improve adherence and reduce the risk of anemia.

Abstract

Anemia remains a major health problem among adolescent girls in Indonesia, with a prevalence of 22.7%, and in Lampung Province reaching 57.6%. Poor dietary habits and low levels of knowledge and attitudes toward anemia are key contributing factors that require attention. This study aims to determine the effect of using e-leaflets via WhatsApp as an educational medium on the knowledge and attitudes of adolescent girls regarding anemia at the Surya Mandiri Orphanage. The study employed a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. A total of 60 adolescent girls were selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using a digital questionnaire distributed through Google Forms, while the intervention was delivered in the form of e-leaflet education via WhatsApp for seven days in June 2025. Data analysis using the Wilcoxon test showed a p-value of 0.001 (p<0.05) for both knowledge and attitude variables, indicating a significant effect of e-leaflet education on improving the knowledge and attitudes of adolescent girls regarding anemia. In conclusion, digital nutrition education using e-leaflets is effective in enhancing adolescent health literacy in anemia prevention. Therefore, it is recommended that e-leaflets distributed via WhatsApp be continuously used as an innovative nutrition education medium in adolescent and social institution settings.
