Abstract

Background: In the process of becoming a mother, a young woman must prepare herself, especially in meeting nutritional needs to prevent anemia, in order to ensure a quality next generation of the nation. Anemia can cause fatigue, decreased productivity, and disorders in cognitive and motor development in children. This study aims to determine the relationship between diet and the incidence of anemia in young women. Methods: The research design used was cross-sectional to examine the relationship between diet and anemia status. The population in this study were 127 students of grade VII of SMP Negeri 5 Ponorogo, with samples taken using a total sampling of 127 students. The independent variable in this study was diet, while the dependent variable was anemia. The instruments used included questionnaires and hemoglobin (Hb) level examination tools. Data collection was carried out through Hb level screening and filling out questionnaires distributed via Google Form. Data analysis used cross-tabulation and Chi-square test. Results: The results showed that 75.59% of adolescents had good diets, while 24.41% had poor diets. Anemia status showed that 79.53% did not have anemia and 20.47% had anemia. The Chi-square test showed the analysis result p = 0.017, which indicated a significant relationship between diet and the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls. Conclusion: This study shows a significant relationship between diet and the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls. Adolescents with good diets tend to have a lower risk of anemia. It is recommended that adolescent girls continue to maintain a good diet to prevent anemia, which can affect their overall health, including productivity and cognitive development.

Abstract

This article discusses the impacts, implications and challenges of accelerating maternal mortality rates in Indonesia. Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in Indonesia is still a serious public health problem. MMR in Indonesia shows a downward trend throughout the 1991-2015 period. However, in 2012 the infant mortality rate increased again and then fell in 2018. Even though it shows a decline, the MMR in Indonesia is still relatively high and still above the MDGS target of 102 per 100,000 live births. MMR in Indonesia in 2021 compared to 2020. The impact of a high MMR is a decline in the productive and competitive workforce, a decline in social welfare and poverty, a decline in life expectancy and quality of life in society, a decline in fertility rates and population growth, which can affect the demographic structure and demographic bonus. and declining reproductive and nutritional health status of women and children. Meanwhile, the implications arising from a high MMR are implications in terms of health, social, economic and development status. The challenges faced by Indonesia in reducing MMR are the low health budget allocation, the lack of health facilities and personnel, low access to PONED (Basic Emergency Neonatal Obstetric Services) and PONEK (Comprehensive Emergency Neonatal Obstetric Services) facilities, high disparities in socio-economic levels, and low awareness and healthy living behavior in the community. The conclusion of this short article about the maternal mortality rate in Indonesia is that the maternal mortality rate in Indonesia is still high and has not yet reached the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) target set by the UN, namely 70 per 100,000 live births in 2030. This article recommends Reducing MMR requires comprehensive and collaborative efforts from all parties, including central and regional governments, health institutions, civil society organizations, academics, media and society.

Abstract

Indonesia’s 2018-2024 National Roadmap for Stunting Prevention aims to reduce stunting prevalence to 14% by 2024 through multisectoral interventions. This commentary evaluates the program’s acceleration, identifying systemic gaps in implementation despite robust policy frameworks. Using qualitative analysis of government reports, field studies, and secondary data, we assess progress against key roadmap indicators, including nutrition-specific interventions, community empowerment, and interagency coordination. Findings reveal persistent challenges: fragmented coordination between national and local agencies, uneven funding distribution favoring urban centers, and inadequate real-time monitoring systems. Case studies from regions like Lombok (successful integrated nutrition campaigns) and Papua (persistent access barriers to clean water and healthcare) illustrate disparities in program effectiveness. Additionally, socio-cultural factors, such as low parental awareness of nutrition, further hinder progress. We argue that accelerating stunting reduction requires strengthening decentralized governance, prioritizing budget equity for rural areas, and leveraging digital tools for data integration. Community-driven education initiatives, supported by local leaders, are critical to shifting health behaviors. Without addressing these structural and operational bottlenecks, Indonesia risks missing its 2024 target, undermining broader Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) linked to child health and equity. This analysis urges policymakers to adopt adaptive, evidence-based strategies to transform roadmap commitments into actionable outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Natural disasters continue to pose significant challenges globally, particularly in disaster-prone middle-income countries such as Indonesia, where communities are frequently exposed to hydrometeorological and geological hazards. While structural mitigation remains important, non-structural and community-based approaches are increasingly emphasized to enhance contextual relevance and community engagement in disaster risk reduction. This study aimed to develop and assess the feasibility of a community-based non-structural disaster mitigation module integrating local knowledge as an educational resource for disaster-prone communities. Methods: The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using a simplified adaptation of the Borg and Gall model. The development process included a needs assessment through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions, module design and development, expert validation, and a limited field trial with target community users. Data were collected using qualitative methods and structured questionnaires, and analyzed descriptively to examine feasibility, acceptability, and relevance. Results: The results indicate that the developed module achieved high feasibility scores across content, presentation, language, and integration of local knowledge. User assessments from the limited field trial demonstrated high levels of acceptability and relevance, particularly in relation to clarity, contextual suitability, and usefulness as a learning resource. Revisions based on expert and user feedback were incorporated into the final version of the module. Conclusions: In conclusion, this study provides early empirical evidence supporting the feasibility and acceptability of a community-based non-structural disaster mitigation module that integrates local knowledge. The module shows potential for use as an educational tool to support community disaster preparedness activities within similar middle-income country contexts.

Abstract

Pregnancy is a critical period requiring adequate nutrition to maintain maternal and fetal health. Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) remains a major maternal health problem in Indonesia, often worsened by emesis gravidarum. This case report describes midwifery care in a primigravida woman with CED and persistent emesis gravidarum during the second trimester. A descriptive case report was conducted at Plaosan Primary Health Center, Magetan District, Indonesia, from March 1–15, 2026. The subject was a 23-year-old primigravida at 21 weeks of gestation. Data were collected through interviews, physical examinations, supporting investigations, and documentation review using the SOAP approach. Interventions included nutritional counseling, recommendations for small frequent meals, monitoring of weight and Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC), supplementation with multiple micronutrients (MMS), and provision of 200 g/day of boiled purple sweet potato for 14 days as a locally sourced supplementary food. The patient’s MUAC was 20 cm, confirming CED, while hemoglobin levels were 12 g/dL, indicating no anemia. After two weeks of intervention with three follow-up visits, improvements were observed: reduced frequency of nausea and vomiting, increased appetite, improved dietary patterns, and enhanced nutritional adequacy. Maternal weight gain was achieved, serving as an indicator of improved nutritional status. CED in this case was influenced by irregular pre-pregnancy dietary habits and reduced intake due to prolonged emesis gravidarum. The management strategy was consistent with evidence-based practice, as purple sweet potato supplementation provided essential nutrients and antioxidants that improved maternal nutritional status. The success of care was supported by adherence to nutritional counseling, supplementation compliance, family support, and continuous midwifery monitoring. Comprehensive midwifery careintegrating nutritional education, supplementation, local food-based interventions, and ongoing monitoring-proved effective in managing CED and emesis gravidarum. This approach improved maternal nutritional status, reduced pregnancy-related complaints, and minimized the risk of complications, supporting maternal and fetal health.

Abstract

The gap between research outputs and their implementation in real-world health settings remains a persistent challenge within academic and health systems. While research productivity in health sciences continues to grow, its tangible impact on population health outcomes is not always evident. At the same time, community service and public health outreach programs are often conducted without a strong research foundation and lack integration with research roadmaps, resulting in short-term and unsustainable health outcomes. This article presents a conceptual perspective on the importance of integrating research and community service within the context of health systems through a research roadmap-based approach. Using a reflective narrative method, this paper explores existing gaps between health research and community-based health interventions, proposes an integrative framework, and elaborates key principles and systematic steps for designing research-based community service programs in health settings. Furthermore, it highlights the strategic role of the penta helix collaboration model in ensuring sustainability and strengthening health system responsiveness. This perspective argues that ideal community service in the health sector represents the downstream implementation of research, oriented toward sustainable community health empowerment and improved health behaviors. Strengthening the integration between research and community service is expected to enhance the social and clinical relevance of health education institutions and maximize the real-world impact of scientific knowledge on population health.Keywords: community service, research roadmap, community health, health empowerment, research translation, penta helix

Abstract

The success of exclusive breastfeeding remains a major issue in the working area of Panekan Health Center, driven by psychosocial factors such as mothers' inaccurate perceptions and anxiety. Exclusive breastfeeding coverage has fluctuated significantly, rising from 22.8% (2023) to 98.8% (2024), then declining again to 47.9% (2025). This study aimed to analyze the influence of perception and anxiety among breastfeeding mothers on the success of exclusive breastfeeding. A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted on 152 breastfeeding mothers with infants aged 6–11 months, selected using proportional simple random sampling from 17 villages. The perception was measured using a 24-item Health Belief Model (HBM) Likert-scale questionnaire, anxiety was measured using the 14-item Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS), and the success of exclusive breastfeeding was measured using a structured ordinal questionnaire. Data were analyzed using an logistic regression test. Most respondents were of healthy reproductive age (86.2%), had a secondary education (62.5%), were unemployed (83.6%), and had one child (51.3%). The majority of mothers had a good level of perception (61.8%) and mild anxiety (38.8%), and 75% of respondents successfully exclusively breastfed for 6 months. The ordinal logistic regression test showed that perception had a significant effect on the success of exclusive breastfeeding (p less than 0.001), while anxiety had no significant effect (p more than 0.05). Breastfeeding mothers' perception was the dominant factor influencing the success of exclusive breastfeeding. Efforts to improve positive perceptions through lactation counseling and ongoing health education are urgently needed to increase exclusive breastfeeding coverage. In conclusion, mothers’ perception plays a crucial and statistically significant role in determining the success of exclusive breastfeeding, whereas anxiety does not demonstrate a meaningful influence.  Keywords: perception; anxiety; exclusive breastfeeding; Health Belief Model
