Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that impairs child growth. Its main causes include inadequate dietary intake and recurrent gastrointestinal infections. Probiotic and prebiotic–based interventions are believed to improve gut function and enhance nutrient absorption. This study applied a pre–post test design involving 15 stunted toddlers. The intervention consisted of locally sourced foods containing probiotics and prebiotics, administered for 14 days. Data collection included body weight, height, and Z-scores, measured before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The mean body weight increased by 0.25 kg (p=0.001), while height increased by 0.64 cm (p=0.001). The weight-for-age Z-score improved by 0.27, and the height-for-age Z-score improved by 0.23. All participants demonstrated positive changes, with no decrease observed. Locally sourced foods containing probiotics and prebiotics were proven effective in improving body weight and height among stunted toddlers. This approach offers a simple, affordable, and practical nutritional strategy for the prevention and management of stunting at the community level.

Abstract

Caesarean section (CS) is a delivery process that involves making an incision in the uterus through the abdominal wall with the aim of minimising risks to the mother and foetus during the delivery process. Complications after surgery can prolong the length of hospitalisation and recovery. One factor affecting wound healing in post-C-section patients is early mobilisation. Early mobilisation is expected to improve blood supply, thereby affecting the speed of wound healing in mothers. The pain from the scar makes mothers reluctant to mobilise early. Family support is needed to encourage mothers to mobilise early after a caesarean section. The purpose of this study was to analyse the relationship between family support and early mobilisation in post-caesarean section patients at IRNA III RSUD dr. Saiful Anwar, East Java. The purpose of this study was to analyse the relationship between family support and early mobilisation in post-C-section patients. The methods used were interviews and questionnaires with a cross-sectional approach using questionnaires administered to 52 post-C-section mothers at IRNA III RSUD Dr. Saiful Anwar in East Java Province, where the level of support was high and early mobilisation was high. The results from 52 respondents showed that there was a significant relationship between family support and early mobilisation with a p-value of 0.039 and a correlation coefficient of 0.287. Thus, it can be concluded that the higher the family support, the higher the mobilisation.

Abstract

Nutrition is important for supporting the growth and development of toddlers. Providing supplementary foods made from local ingredients is one strategy for addressing nutritional problems in toddlers and preventing stunting. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of modifying the provision of supplementary foods consisting of mung bean porridge with ginger and lemongrass on weight gain in toddlers at the Adenium RW 14 Posyandu in Sumberporong Village. The research design used a Quassy Experimental Design with a one-group pretest and posttest design. The research population consisted of 23 toddlers. Sampling was conducted using purposive sampling. The researcher required inclusion and exclusion criteria. The research was conducted over 14 days. The research instruments used were digital scales, KIA books, questionnaires, and observation sheets. The analysis used was univariate and bivariate using the Wilcoxon test. Based on the statistical test results, the significance value was 0.000, which was not greater than 0.05, meaning that there was an effect of modifying the provision of mung bean porridge with ginger and lemongrass as supplementary food on increasing the weight of toddlers at the Posyandu. The results of the study showed that the average weight gain of toddlers was 0.33 kg. It can be concluded that there is an effect of supplementary feeding on toddlers in the form of modified supplementary feeding of mung bean porridge with ginger and lemongrass. It is recommended that village midwives create various programs to improve the nutritional status of toddlers and add references to the PMT menu.
