Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to determine the relationship between the determinants of BBLR factors and the growth of babies aged 1–6 months in the working area of the Kaliwungu Health Center, Kudus Regency. Research Method: The study used an observational analytical design with a rhetorative approach with a total sampling technique in infants aged 1–6 months who had a history of BBLR. Data were collected through medical records and observation sheets, including maternal characteristics (age, education, occupation, parity, preterm gestational age), pregnancy complications (KEK, anemia, preeclampsia, anxiety), and baby growth based on body weight, then analyzed univariate and bivariate using Fisher's Exact Test. Results and Discussion: The results showed no statistically significant relationship between maternal characteristics and pregnancy complications or baby growth (p > 0.05). Most BBLR babies show normal growth according to age-based weight indicators, although there are variations, such as catch-up growth, and the need for follow-up monitoring. Implications: It was concluded that maternal factors do not significantly affect the growth of BBLR babies, so it is still necessary to prevent and optimally monitor pregnancy and baby growth.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of green bean (Vigna radiata) juice administration on the nutritional status of malnourished toddlers in Mejobo Village, Kudus District. The hypothesis proposed that daily supplementation of green bean juice would significantly improve nutritional status as measured by Z-scores. Research Method: A pre-experimental design with a total sampling technique was applied to 32 toddlers aged 2–4 years with malnutrition (Z-score: -3 SD to < -2 SD). Respondents were divided into two groups: experimental and control. The intervention consisted of administering 250 ml of green bean juice daily for seven consecutive days. Data were collected through anthropometric measurements before and after the intervention and analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk test, paired sample t-test, and independent sample t-test. Results and Discussion: The mean Z-score improved from -2.431 pre-intervention to -1.77 post-intervention in the experimental group (p = 0.000), while no improvement occurred in the control group. Independent t-test results showed a significant post-test difference between groups (p = 0.000), confirming the positive effect of green bean juice on nutritional status. Implications: Green bean juice, as a locally sourced supplementary food, is effective for short-term nutritional improvement in malnourished toddlers and can be integrated into community-based nutrition programs. Further studies with longer durations and larger sample sizes are recommended.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the effect of ginger extract consumption on reducing dysmenorrhea pain in adolescent girls. The research is based on the hypothesis that ginger extract, due to its anti-inflammatory properties, significantly decreases menstrual pain intensity and provides a safe non-pharmacological treatment alternative. Research Method: The study employed a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The population consisted of 406 female students at SMP Negeri 2 Gebog, with a sample of 70 respondents selected using the Slovin formula. Data were collected through pain scale assessments before and after administration of ginger extract. Analysis was conducted using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, as the data exhibited a non-normal distribution. Results and Discussion: Findings revealed a significant reduction in dysmenorrhea pain levels after consuming ginger extract, with a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05). Before the intervention, most respondents reported moderate to severe pain, whereas after the intervention, the majority experienced mild pain or no pain. This confirms the hypothesis and aligns with previous studies highlighting the effectiveness of ginger extract in reducing menstrual pain. Implications: The results suggest that ginger extract can be promoted as a low-cost, accessible, and safe alternative to manage dysmenorrhea among adolescents. Future research should consider larger samples, control groups, and long-term effects to strengthen generalizability.
