Abstract

Stunting is a disorder of children's growth and development caused by chronic malnutrition and recurrent infections during the First 1000 Days of Life (HPK). Health workers at health centers, as part of the nutrition team, play a significant role in implementing effective interventions to reduce stunting rates. One of the trainings provided to health workers is the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) and Severe Acute Malnutrition training. This study aimed to measure changes in the knowledge of health workers before and after receiving the IMCI and Severe Acute Malnutrition training.This pre-experimental study involved 84 health workers from three cities in East Kalimantan. The training utilized interactive lectures, role play,  assignments, and practice sessions. A paired t-test was used to analyze the data. A significant increase in knowledge was observed before and after the training (p-value = 0.0001). It was concluded that the IMCI and Severe Acute Malnutrition Training was effective in enhancing the knowledge of health workers. Therefore, it remains essential as a routine training effort to prevent stunting.

Abstract

Mumps outbreaks are a public health issue that still frequently occur in elementary school settings, particularly among children with low immunization coverage. Therefore, a comprehensive epidemiological understanding is needed as a basis for control. This research aims to describe the epidemiological picture and causative factors of the mumps outbreak that occurred at Islamic Elementary School X in Samarinda City in 2024, using a case series design. The outbreak occurred from April to October 2024, while epidemiological data collection and case verification were conducted from December 2nd to 8th, 2024. The analysis uses surveillance data, field observations, and questionnaires administered to parents and teachers A total of 33 confirmed cases of mumps were reported from 291 students during the observation period, with an attack rate of 11.33%. The dominant symptoms found included parotid gland swelling (100%), fever (78.8%), headache (63.6%), and malaise (42.4%). The main risk factors include low MMR immunization coverage (54.5%), close contact between students in classrooms and extracurricular activities, and a lack of public understanding about preventing infectious diseases. The control efforts undertaken include case isolation, classroom disinfection, personal hygiene education, and cross-sector coordination with the Samarinda City Health Office, increased vaccination coverage, and school health education to prevent future outbreaks of mumps, thru additional MMR vaccinations for students who have not completed their doses, monitoring immunization status at the beginning of each school year, and improving personal hygiene education in schools.

Abstract

The safety of school children's snacks is a crucial issue in supporting children's growth and development and in preventing foodborne diseases. Snacks that do not meet food safety standards may contain microbiological contaminants and hazardous chemicals that can negatively affect children's health. This study aimed to evaluate the microbiological and chemical safety of snacks sold at the canteen of SD 008 Awang Long in Samarinda, Indonesia. This descriptive observational study involved eight snack samples collected from different vendors in the school canteen. Microbiological tests for Escherichia coli and Salmonella were conducted using the multiple-tube fermentation technique, while tests for borax and formalin were performed qualitatively using rapid reagent test kits. Laboratory analyses were conducted at the Regional Health Laboratory of Samarinda from February 25 to March 2, 2025. Results were interpreted based on the Indonesian Food and Drug Authority Regulation (BPOM) No. 13 of 2019 concerning Food Quality Requirements. All snack samples tested negative for E. coli (<3.6 MPN/g) and Salmonella. Two selected samples—meatball skewers and vermicelli—also tested negative for borax and formalin. The snacks sold at SD 008 Awang Long met food safety standards in terms of both microbiological and chemical parameters. However, continuous monitoring and education for food vendors and school staff are recommended to ensure the sustained safety and quality of school children's snacks.
