Abstract

Children with thalassemia are at increased risk of growth impairment and endocrine dysfunction, including thyroid abnormalities. However, the relationship between thyroid function and stunting remains unclear. This cross-sectional study included 51 children with confirmed thalassemia. Growth status was assessed using height-for-age Z-score (HAZ) and percentage height deficit relative to mid-parental target height (Mid-TPG), while thyroid function was evaluated by measuring serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (FT4). Data were analyzed using Pearson or Spearman correlation, multivariable linear regression, locally estimated scatterplot smoothing (LOESS), generalized additive models (GAM), and k-means clustering. No significant associations were found between thyroid hormone levels and either HAZ or height deficit in multivariable analyses (all p > 0.05). FT4 showed a weak positive correlation with HAZ (ρ = 0.265), although it was not statistically significant (p = 0.06). LOESS and GAM demonstrated limited explanatory power. K-means clustering identified three distinct growth phenotypes with significant differences in HAZ and height deficit (p < 0.001), whereas TSH and FT4 levels did not differ across clusters. These findings suggest that thyroid hormone levels are not significantly associated with stunting severity in children with β-thalassemia major, highlighting the multifactorial nature of growth impairment and the need for further investigation to support targeted intervention strategies.

Abstract

Anemia among pregnant women remains a major public health problem, increasing the risk of pregnancy and childbirth complications, low birth weight, preterm birth, and maternal and neonatal mortality. Low health literacy regarding adequate nutrition, iron and folic acid supplementation (IFAS), and anemia prevention contributes to its high prevalence. This community service program aimed to improve pregnant women's health literacy through nutrition education and anemia prevention. Activities included interactive health education, group discussions, demonstrations on selecting iron-rich foods, educational leaflet distribution, and pre-test and post-test evaluations. Conducted at a community health center (Puskesmas), the program involved 30 pregnant women. Participants' mean knowledge score increased from 64.2 to 88.6 after the intervention. They also demonstrated better understanding of regular IFAS consumption, iron-rich food selection, and anemia prevention during pregnancy. Active participation reflected the effectiveness of the educational approach. This program is expected to encourage healthier anemia prevention behaviors, support healthy pregnancies, and contribute to reducing stunting risk during the First 1,000 Days of Life

Abstract

Kasus perundungan di kalangan peserta didik Sekolah Dasar menunjukkan kecenderungan meningkat dan berimplikasi pada gangguan kesehatan, baik secara jasmani maupun psikologis, yang berpotensi menghambat efektivitas proses pembelajaran di sekolah. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menganalisis perbedaan kecenderungan perilaku bullying ditinjau dari aspek jenis kelamin pada siswa Sekolah Dasar Negeri 21 Bandar Baru, Kabupaten Pidie Jaya. Penelitian ini menerapkan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain survei deskriptif komparatif. Subjek penelitian mencakup seluruh siswa kelas V dan VI. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner perilaku bullying yang telah memenuhi uji validitas dan reliabilitas. Hasil analisis menunjukkan adanya perbedaan yang bermakna antara perilaku perundungan pada siswa laki-laki dan perempuan. Siswa laki-laki cenderung lebih dominan dalam bentuk bullying fisik, sementara siswa perempuan lebih sering terlibat dalam bullying verbal dan relasional. Perbedaan jenis kelamin diduga memengaruhi variasi bentuk serta tingkat intensitas perilaku bullying di lingkungan sekolah. Temuan ini diharapkan dapat menjadi rujukan bagi pihak sekolah dalam merancang program pencegahan dan penanganan bullying yang lebih efektif serta responsif terhadap perbedaan gender.
