Abstract

Stunting is still a major health issue in Bangun Rejo Village. Most mothers still lack understanding of balanced nutrition and the impact of early marriage on child growth. This issue is important because mothers play a central role in ensuring optimal child development. However, health education programs focusing on maternal knowledge and reproductive health are still limited in this area. Therefore, the ASA BUNDA program was designed to fill this practical gap by providing direct education to improve mothers’ understanding and awareness in preventing stunting. The ASA BUNDA aims to raise mothers' awareness of stunting prevention and the need of delaying early marriage. The event took place on July 17, 2025, engaging mothers and youth health cadres of the Posyandu Remaja in Bangun Rejo. Health education sessions were conducted interactively by students and public health lecturers. A pre-test and post-test were used to measure changes in knowledge, and the data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test to determine significance. The program had 85% attendance and a considerable increase in participants' post-test knowledge ratings. Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test revealed a significant difference between pre-test and post-test results (p < 0.05), showing better awareness of stunting prevention and parenting practices. Participants also provided favorable feedback and demonstrated a readiness to apply their knowledge in everyday family health activities. The ASA BUNDA program significantly enhanced mothers' understanding of stunting prevention and healthy parenting practices. This activity shows that empowering mothers through simple and participatory health education can help reduce stunting risk in the community

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remained a major public health problem in Indonesia, with 114,720 reported cases and 894 deaths in 2023. In the working area of Sidomulyo Primary Health Center, DHF cases increased from 21 cases in 2023 to 68 cases in 2024. This study aimed to describe environmental risk factors, larval presence, and dengue prevention behaviors among residents of Pelita Village, Samarinda Ilir District. A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted using a rapid epidemiological survey approach from April to May 2026. A total of 210 respondents were selected through cluster sampling from 30 clusters. The results showed that 97.62% of respondents had never experienced DHF, while 27.62% reported close contact with DHF patients. The Larvae Free Index was 52.38%, substantially below the national target of 95%. Most respondents demonstrated good knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions regarding dengue prevention; however, mosquito larvae, potential breeding sites, and several suboptimal preventive practices were still identified. It was concluded that environmental and behavioral factors potentially supporting DHF transmission remained present in Pelita Village, highlighting the need to strengthen mosquito breeding site control programs and sustain community participation.
