Abstract

Introduction: Stunting is currently one of the world's nutritional problems suffered by toddlers. This study aimed to determine the factors and incidence of stunting among children aged 12-60 months old in Indonesia. Methods: The design was a cross-sectional approach. This research was conducted in the South Central Timor Regency from February to August 2020. The respondents of this study were as many as 286 mothers and children. The sampling technique used in this study was purposive sampling. The questionnaire was used to identify demographic factors, infectious diseases, maternal care practice factors and stunting was identified by using the anthropometric measurement by WHO age-based height index (Z score <-2 SD). Chi-square and logistic regression were used to determine the factors associated with the incidence and the dominant factors of stunting. Results: The results showed a significant relationship between the number of children with  p= 0.000; mother's knowledge with  p= 0.000; and practice of complementary feeding with the incidence of stunting with  p=0.000, while the main factor causing the incidence of stunting in toddlers is the number of children, which is more than two people in the family (p= 0.000, Exp (B) = 0.137). Conclusion: The number of children is the primary factor causing stunting in South Central Timor. Therefore, health workers should increase health promotion and education about stunting and raise family awareness in running family planning programs to meet children's needs, including nutrition and control of childbirth.

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is the most dominant risk factor for cardiovascular disease, which is the most frequent cause of deaths all over the world. Patients’ hypertension requires non pharmacological interventions as an integral part of case management. Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) are recognized and accepted in several countries that have developed a high degree of modern medicine; some researchers showed that CAM could be recommended for lowering blood pressure. The aim of this study is to explore the most popular method of CAM used for hypertension.Method: A systematic review was conducted by searching online databases between 2012 - 2022, by using PRISMA 2020 protocol in filtering the articles. Articles were sourced from Elsevier, Plos One, NIH, Lancet, BMC, Sage, Springer, Wiley, Lippincott and Garuda.  The researcher obtained 26 articles for final review, with inclusion criteria people with hypertension that use CAM as a therapy to prevent elevated blood pressure. Results: Eleven articles were RCT, seven articles were experiments, three articles were descriptive, three articles were cross sectional, one article was cohort, and one article was case control. The result showed that the CAM was effective in lowering blood pressure. People with hypertension most often used herbal medicine, acupuncture, acupressure, yoga, meditation, tai chi, reflexology, massage, guided imagery, and aromatherapy oil (in sequentially). Conclusions: Perception/belief, lack of information, experience and culture affect people's behavior in choosing medical drugs over CAM. Therefore, health care should promote CAM and provide patients with non-pharmacological intervention.
