Abstract

T Background : Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health problem worldwide, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia. Early detection is essential in controlling TB transmission. Method : This study aimed to describe the results of pulmonary TB examinations using the GeneXpert Molecular Rapid Test (TCM) method at RSUD Tugu Jaya. This research used a descriptive quantitative design with a total sampling technique, involving 400 patient samples. Pulmonary tuberculosis examination was performed using the GeneXpert rapid molecular test (TCM), which is based on an automated real-time PCR method. Results : The results showed that out of 400 patients, 353 (88.25%) were negative for TB, 46 (11.5%) were positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) with rifampicin sensitivity, and 1 (0.25%) was positive for MTB with rifampicin resistance. Age distribution revealed that the productive age group (15–50 years) had more active TB cases than other groups. Based on gender, males showed a higher proportion of TB cases than females. Conclusion : In conclusion, the GeneXpert TCM method is effective in detecting pulmonary TB, including drug-resistant TB, emphasizing the need for targeted preventive efforts in productive-age males.

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem in toddlers that affects physical growth, cognitive development, and long-term health. One of the risk factors for stunting is iron and vitamin D deficiency, both of which play important roles in children’s growth and development. Educating parents about iron and vitamin D supplementation serves as a promotive and preventive strategy to reduce the risk of stunting, particularly among at-risk toddlers. This community service activity aimed to analyze the effect of parental education on the use of iron and vitamin D supplements among toddlers at risk of stunting. A pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was employed. The participants were parents who received structured education on the benefits, dosage, and methods of administering iron and vitamin D supplements. The pretest results showed low knowledge in 22% of respondents, moderate in 22%, and high in 56%, while the posttest results indicated low knowledge in 5%, moderate in 10%, and high in 85%. Statistical analysis showed a significant increase in knowledge (p = 0.020), accompanied by improved practical understanding as observed from participants’ responses. This activity contributes to stunting prevention efforts by enhancing community-level micronutrient literacy.
