Abstract

One of the main factors leading to the high incidence of infectious diseases is the low knowledge and preventive behaviour among the community (Alodokter, 2018; Hellosehat Kemenkes, 2022). This study aims to examine the role of health education in increasing public awareness of the importance of infectious disease prevention, and to analyse the effectiveness of educational methods used in various health programmes. This research uses a case study method with a qualitative approach. Case studies were chosen because they allow researchers to explore in depth the phenomenon of the role of health education in increasing community awareness of the importance of preventing infectious diseases (Ismadi, 2023). The focus of this study was to holistically understand health education interventions in a particular community and their impact on behaviour change and community awareness From the results shown in Table 1, the attitudes of subjects I and II before being given health counselling related to infectious diseases were in the less category with a percentage of 60%. Table 2 shows that after being given health counselling to improve family attitudes in preventing infectious diseases in adolescents. Subject I where the pre-test results were 60% and post-test results were 90%. The importance of health education in preventive interventions, which has a tangible impact on behaviour change and reduced risk of disease transmission.

Abstract

Low birth weight (LBW) remains a public health problem that contributes to high rates of neonatal morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to analyse the association between pregnant women's micronutrient intake and the incidence of LBW. The study design was a prospective cohort study involving 210 second to third trimester pregnant women in Padang City in 2025. Micronutrient intake was assessed using the 3x24 hour food recall method, while the baby's birth weight data was obtained during delivery. Chi-square test and logistic regression were used for analysis. The results showed the prevalence of LBW was 15.2%. Intake of iron, zinc, vitamin D, and folic acid were found to be significantly associated with LBW (p < 0.05), while vitamin A and vitamin B12 showed no significant association. Further analysis revealed that iron deficiency was the dominant factor contributing most to the incidence of LBW. These findings confirm the importance of micronutrient fulfilment during pregnancy, both through a nutritionally balanced diet and supplementation, to prevent LBW. Therefore, micronutrient interventions need to be prioritised in maternal and child health programmes, especially through strengthening nutrition counselling and monitoring supplement compliance in antenatal care services.
