Abstract

ABSTRAK Latar Belakang: ASI eksklusif telah terbukti dapat mengurangi kejadian stunting dan meningkatkan pertumbuhan jangka panjang di Indonesia, serta mencegah kejadian penyakit menular seperti diare. Sebagai bagian dari strategi penurunan stunting di Indonesia, pemerintah Indonesia memasukkan ASI eksklusif sebagai salah satu dari 11 strategi intervensi spesifik. Bagaimanapun, area-area dengan prevalensi stunting yang cukup tinggi seperti Maluku Tenggara, juga cenderung memiliki prevalensi ASI eksklusif yang lebih rendah.Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyajikan profil ibu hamil multigravida dan ibu menyusui yang memiliki bayi berusia 0-5,9 bulan, baik yang melakukan ASI eksklusif maupun yang tidak, di Pulau Kei Besar, Maluku Tenggara. Metode: Penelitian deskriptif ini menggunakan rancangan potong lintang. Kuesioner diberikan pada 23 ibu hamil multigravida yang pernah menyusui anaknya dan 8 ibu menyusui yang memiliki bayi berusia 0-5,9 bulan untuk mempelajari karakteristik demografik, pengetahuan, dan praktik terkait menyusui. Hasil dipaparkan dalam bentuk statistik deskriptif.Hasil: Di antara ibu hamil, 52% kekurangan pengetahuan mengenai inisiasi menyusui dini. 95.7% memeriksakan kehamilannya pada bidan, dengan 39.1% di antaranya memiliki frekuensi ANC >4 kali. Selain itu, 60.9% mengaku menyusui anak sebelumnya secara eksklusif. Di antara ibu menyusui, 75% mengakui menyusui secara eksklusif, namun 62,5% tidak tepat dalam menyebutkan definisi ASI eksklusif dan juga mengaku memberikan susu formula dalam sehari terakhir. Terdapat juga kepercayaan seperti bahwa perempuan kurus menghasilkan ASI lebih sedikit dan bahwa kandungan gizi susu formula sama dengan ASI.Kesimpulan: Promosi kesehatan tentang ASI eksklusif sangat penting untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan mengoreksi kepercayaan yang keliru. Bidan memiliki potensi untuk menjadi agen yang efektif dalam mempromosikan ASI eksklusif saat memeriksa kehamilan ibu-ibu Kei Besar. KATA KUNCI: ASI eksklusif, Kei Besar, Maluku  ABSTRACTBackground: Exclusive breastfeeding has shown evidence of effectiveness in reducing stunting and promoting long-term growth in Indonesia, as well as preventing infectious diseases such as diarrhea. As part of stunting reduction acceleration strategies, the Indonesian government recognizes the importance of exclusive breastfeeding and includes it in the 11 specific intervention strategies. However, areas with high stunting prevalence such as Southeast Maluku, tend to also have low exclusive breastfeeding prevalence. Objectives: This study aims to delineate the profiles of multigravida pregnant women and women with infants aged 0-5.9 months old engaged in exclusive breastfeeding and those who do not in Kei Besar Island, Southeast Maluku.Methods: This descriptive study employed a cross-sectional design. A questionnaire was administered to 23 pregnant women with previous experience of breastfeeding and 8 breastfeeding mothers of infants aged 0-5.9 months to assess demographic characteristics, knowledge, and breastfeeding practices. Findings are presented using descriptive statistics.Results: Among pregnant women, 52% lacked knowledge of early breastfeeding initiation. 95.7% received antenatal care from midwives, with 39.1% attending four or more times. Notably, 60.9% reported exclusively breastfeeding their previous child. Among breastfeeding mothers, 75% reported exclusive breastfeeding, but 62.5% provided incorrect definitions of breastfeeding and admitted to formula milk use within the past day. Additionally, misconceptions included beliefs that thinner women produce less breast milk and that formula milk's nutritional content resembles that of breast milk.Conclusions: Addressing knowledge gaps and misconceptions through health education on exclusive breastfeeding is essential. Midwives have the potential to serve as effective agents in promoting exclusive breastfeeding during ANC appointments for Kei Besar mothers. KEYWORD: exclusive breastfeeding; Kei Besar; Maluku

Abstract

Background: Hypertension, when it is not controlled, can cause complications to many diseases and death. Hypertension control can be achieved by adjusting to a healthy diet, such as increasing the consumption of fruit, whole grains, potassium intake, calcium, and magnesium. Several studies have shown that star fruit and chia seeds can control blood pressure in people with hypertension. However, the nutritional content, such as calcium and magnesium, is still relatively low in star fruit. According to USDA, chia seeds contain high level of calcium, potassium, and magnesium.Objectives: This research aims to determine the sensory acceptability and the nutritional content of star fruit juice by adding chia seeds.Methods: This is an experimental study with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). There were four formulations of star fruit juice with chia seeds additions (0 g,10 g,15 g, and 20 g). The sensory analysis was tested by the Kruskal Wallis test and Mann-Whitney test. While differences of the nutritional content from the product that preferred by panelists were tested by Independent T-test.Results: There were significant differences (p<0.05) in all sensory parameters. The selected sweet star fruit juice with the addition 10 g chia seed formulation showed an increase in nutrients except for the water content. Water content of 89.21 %, ash content of 0.32 %, carbohydrate content of 7.14 %, fat content of 1.75 %, protein content of 1.55%, potassium content of 206 mg/200 ml, calcium content of 34.84 mg/200 ml, magnesium content of 17.80 mg/200 ml, and sodium content of 2.46 mg/200 ml.Conclusions: Sweet start fruit juice with the addition of 10 g of chia seed is the most liked star fruit juice formulation with chia seed addition by the research panellists, and it can increase the nutritional content, especially calcium and magnesium content.

Abstract

ABSTRAK Latar Belakang: Masalah triple burden di Indonesia menjadi salah satu target dari Sustainnable Development Goals (SDGs) yang harus segera diselesaikan karena berkaitan dengan penurunan kematian balita akibat gizi buruk. Deteksi dini tumbuh kembang anak belum optimal mengatasi masalah gizi karena masih ada guru yang masih kesulitan menentukan status gizi sehingga data yang dilaporkan masih manual dan belum akurat.Tujuan: melihat efektifitas pemberian pelatihan WHO Anthro terhadap kualitas data status gizi anak sekolah.Metode: Penelitian Quasi Eksperimental dengan rancangan pretest-postest equivalent repeated measured, menggunakan dua kelompok. Penelitian dilakukan bulan Januari-Maret 2023. Sampel sejumlah 40 guru terbagi dalam 2 kelompok sama rata. Guru TK ABA di Kapenawon Gamping yang berstatus aktif dan sudah mengisi informed consent, akan masuk menjadi responden. Peserta pelatihan yang tidak mengikuti tes sebanyak 3 kali akan dieksklusi. Kelompok kontrol dilatih pengeplottan status gizi menggunakan grafik WHO dan kelompok perlakuan dilatih menggunakan aplikasi WHO Anthro Plus. Pelatihan dilakukan selam 2 bulan untuk menilai  pretes, midtes, dan postes. Analisa data menggunakan Uji Friedman dilanjutkan dengan uji post hoc Tukey HSD.Hasil: Hasil uji friedman, kelompok yang dilatih menggunakan aplikasi WHO Anthro Plus terbukti kualitas data status gizi yang dihasilkan signifikan berbeda dengan nilai p value= 0,000 (p<0,05) baik dari aspek keakuratan data maupun manfaatnya. Hasil Post hoc Tukey HSD membuktikan bahwa dari tiga kali penilaian kualitas data, penilaian yang dilakukan setelah dua bulan dari pelatihan terbukti signifikan berbeda p value=0,007 (p<0,05). Hal ini disebabkan peserta pelatihan langsung mempraktekkan WHO Anthro Plus di sekolah masing-masing.Kesimpulan: Aplikasi WHO Anthro Plus terbukti memudahkan guru TK/PAUD dalam penentuan status gizi dan laporan status gizinya menjadi lebih berkualitas karena lebih akurat dan bermanfaat untuk deteksi dini tumbuh kembang anak di tiap sekolah. KATA KUNCI: WHO Antrho; Gizi; pelatihan guru ; stuntingABSTRACTBackground: The triple burden problem in Indonesia has become one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) targets that must be urgently addressed due to its critical role in reducing toddler mortality attributed to malnutrition. However, the early detection of child growth issues is not optimal because some teachers still struggle to determine nutritional status, resulting in manual and inaccurate data.Objectives: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of providing WHO Anthro training on the quality of nutrition status data for schoolchildren. Methods: This research employs a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest equivalent design, measured repeatedly, using two groups. The study was conducted from January to March 2023. A total of 40 ABA School Teachers at Kapenawon Gamping who had provided informed consent participated as respondents. Training participants who did not pass the test three times were excluded. The control group received training on plotting nutritional status using WHO charts, while the treatment group was trained using the WHO Anthro Plus application. The training spanned two months, including pre-tests, mid-tests, and post-tests. Data analysis involved the Friedman test followed by the Tukey HSD post hoc test.Results: The results of the Friedman test revealed a significant difference in the quality of nutritional status data produced by the group trained using the WHO Anthro Plus application (p-value = 0.000, p < 0.05). This difference was observed in both data accuracy and the perceived benefits. This improvement occurred because training participants were able to practice using WHO Anthro Plus in their respective schools.Conclusions: The study concludes that the WHO Anthro Plus application facilitates school teachers in determining nutritional status more accurately and efficiently. As a result, the reported data is of higher quality, enhancing the early detection of child growth issues in schools. KEYWORDS: data quality; kindergarten teacher; training; stunting; WHO Anthro

Abstract

ABSTRAKLatar Belakang: Praktik pemberian Makanan pendamping ASI (MPASI) yang tepat selama pandemi COVID-19 menjadi tantangan tersendiri karena kebijakan pemerintah untuk mengurangi penularan virus di tempat kerja seperti perubahan status pekerjaan termasuk bekerja dari rumah. Perubahan status pekerjaan, khususnya bagi ibu bekerja, berkaitan dengan keragaman pola makan dalam praktik pemberian MPASI.Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dampak status pekerjaan ibu terhadap Keanekaragaman Gizi Minimum (MDD) selama pandemi COVID-19.Metode: Penelitian cross-sectional dilakukan dan online self-administered questionnaires digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data dari 403 ibu yang memiliki anak usia 6-23 bulan yang tinggal di Jawa, Indonesia.Hasil: Secara keseluruhan, 91,1% anak memenuhi kriteria MDD. Dalam model yang disesuaikan, anak-anak dengan ibu yang bekerja di luar rumah dikaitkan dengan penurunan peluang mengalami MDD (AOR: 0.85, 95%CI: 0.42-0.98). Faktor yang berhubungan dengan MDD pada praktik pemberian MPASI adalah daerah tempat tinggal (AOR: 0.12; 95%CI: 0.03-0.54), usia anak (AOR: 2.93; 95%CI: 1.12-7.67), dan usia ibu (AOR: 1.39 ; 95%CI: 1,16-3,93).Kesimpulan: Praktik pemberian makanan pendamping ASI dipengaruhi oleh status pekerjaan ibu selama pandemi. Namun demikian, strategi lain untuk meningkatkan keragaman pangan MPASI diperlukan untuk mencegah malnutrisi pada anak dengan meningkatkan pengetahuan ibu terkait gizi anak, khususnya pada ibu bekerja.KATA KUNCI: pemberian makanan pendamping ASI; COVID-19; keanekaragaman pangan minimum; status pekerjaan ibu ABSTRACTBackground: Appropriate complementary feeding practices during the COVID-19 pandemic are challenging due to government policies to reduce the virus transmission in workplace such as changes of employment status including working from home . The changes of employment status, especially for working mothers was related to the dietary diversity of complementary feeding practice.Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the impact of maternal employment status on Minimum Dietary Diversity (MDD) during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted, and online self-administered questionnaires were used to collect data from 403 mothers of children ages 6-23 months who live in Java, Indonesia.Results: Overall, 91.1% of the children met the criteria for MDD. In the adjusted model, children with mothers who work outside of home were associated with a reduced odds of meeting MDD (AOR: 0.85, 95%CI: 0.42-0.98). The factors related to MDD on complementary feeding practices were area of residence (AOR: 0.12; 95%CI: 0.03-0.54), child's age (AOR: 2.93; 95%CI: 1.12-7.67), and maternal ages (AOR: 1.39; 95%CI: 1.16-3.93).Conclusions: Complementary feeding practices were impacted by maternal employment status during pandemic. However, other strategies to increase dietary diversity of complementary feeding are needed to prevent child malnutrition by increasing maternal knowledge related to child nutrition, especially for working mothers.KEYWORDS: complementary feeding; COVID-19; Minimum Dietary Diversity; maternal employment status

Abstract

Background: At the community level, assessment for children nutritional status is measured by female volunteer community health workers (FVCHW) through integrated health post (Posyandu). Based  on  initial  observation,  volunteers  have  sufficient  knowledge  of  anthropometric measurement however, to put it into practice, common pitfalls remain found.Refreshment on basic knowledge and practical training on anthropometric assessment is needed.Objectives:  As  part  of  Kampung  Caraka  Project  that  attempts  to  empower  locals  to  be deliberately  aware  of  community  health  and  well-being,  this  particular  study  aims  to  evaluate knowledge of FVCHW as well as their accuracy and precision on anthropometric assessment.Methods: This study is a quasi-experimental study with pre-posttest with control group design. The sample was purposively selected and 54 overweight adolescents were divided into a control group and two intervention groups. Education using healthy snacks quartet was conducted for 21 days  from  September  to  October  2023  in  Makassar  City.  Data  analysis  was  performed  using Wilcoxon singed ranks test.Results:  Results  showed  women  with  good  precision  for  MUAC,  height,  head  circumferences and length measurement were 23.1%, 23.1%, 53.8% and 33.3%, respectively. In contrast, only 7.7% of women had good accuracy on MUAC measurement. There is a significant difference of knowledge score before and after the education given (p-value 0.02, CI 95%).Conclusions:  The  cadre  had  good  precision  yet  poor  accuracy,  implying  the  necessity  of standardized procedure and regular equipment calibration prior to anthropometric measurement. There is a difference in mean scores before and after the education given, yet still denoted as low capacity. Further comprehensive education is highly required.

Abstract

Background: Obesity is a risk factor for metabolic syndrome which can increase mortality. Obese sufferers often fail to lose body weight (BW) through non-pharmacological therapy. Obesity synthetic drugs can cause side effects, so natural ingredients are needed as alternative therapies.Objectives: This study aims to determine the effect of raja banana peel extract (RBPE) on BW, body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (BFP), and visceral fat mass in obese male rats.Methods: The research subjects were 30 male Wistar rats weighing 125-200 g, aged eight weeks. Obesity was induced by being given high-fat high fructose (HFHFr) feed for 28 days. Rats were randomized and divided into five groups: the negative control group (C-) was given standard feed and distilled water, the positive control (C+) was given standard feed and orlistat, treatment 1 (T1), treatment 2 (T2), and treatment 3 (T3). Which were given standard feed and RBPE doses of 200 mg/kgBW/day, 400 mg/kgBW/day, and 800 mg/kgBW/day. Data before and after the induction of obesity were analyzed using paired t-tests. BW, BMI, and visceral fat mass were analyzed using the One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Repeated Measure ANOVA tests. BFP was analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and the Friedman test.Results: RBPE can significantly reduce BW (p=0.026), BMI (p<0.001), and BFP (p<0.001). However, all groups had no significant difference in visceral fat mass (p=0.187). T3 was the group with the lowest average BW, BMI, BFP, and visceral fat mass although the highest weight loss during the intervention period occurred in C+.Conclusions: RBPE has the potential as an alternative therapy for obesity because it can reduce BW, BMI, and BFP. Future studies can investigate the effect of RBPE on other obesity parameters such as lipid profiles.

Abstract

ABSTRAK Latar Belakang: Saat ini, Indonesia masih menghadapi permasalahan stunting yang cukup tinggi dibandingkan dengan negara lain, termasuk di Asia Tenggara. Oleh karena itu, pemerintah melakukan program percepatan penurunan stunting melalui program spesifik dan sensitif yang melibatkan banyak sektor. Berbagai strategi disusun dengan sasaran prioritas pada kelompok ibu hamil dan anak usia 0-2 tahun dalam gerakan 1.000 HPK (Hari Pertama Kehidupan). Salah satu penyebab langsung stunting adalah rendahnya kualitas konsumsi makanan, yang dimulai sejak ibu hamil sampai anak usia dua tahun.   Tujuan: Penelitian ini secara umum bertujuan untuk menganalisis efektivitas program Nutrimenu terhadap pengetahuan, sikap, dan praktik ibu-ibu.Metode: Desain penelitian ini adalah pre-post intervention study yang secara khusus menganalisis perubahan pengetahuan, sikap, praktik sebelum dan setelah program Nutrimenu.   Program tersebut berupa edukasi gizi yang diberikan kepada ibu-ibu yang mempunyai anak batita/balita/usia sekolah, ibu hamil, ibu menyusui, dan calon pengantin.  Sebanyak 517 ibu-ibu dipilih dari 12.000 sasaran program yang berasal dari 4 kabupaten. Hasil: Terdapat 53% ibu-ibu peserta program yang mengalami peningkatan skor pengetahuan tentang gizi seimbang. Sebagian besar ibu-ibu (54%) mengalami peningkatan nilai skor sikap positif tentang gizi seimbang. Terdapat peningkatan yang signifikan jumlah ibu-ibu yang dapat mempraktikkan konsumsi pangan harian sesuai pedoman isi piringku, yaitu dari 13% menjadi 20% setelah program (p<0.05). Kesimpulan: Secara umum program Nutrimenu berhasil meningkatan pengetahuan, sikap, dan praktik gizi seimbang pada ibu-ibu peserta. Peningkatan ini berpotensi menjadi langkah preventif yang penting dalam pencegahan stunting. KATA KUNCI: edukasi; gizi; isi piringku; perilaku; seimbang ABSTRACT  Background: Currently, Indonesia is still facing a high stunting problem compared to other countries, including Southeast Asia. Therefore, the government is implementing a program to accelerate stunting reduction through specific and sensitive programs involving many sectors. Various strategies were prepared with priority targets for the group of pregnant women and children aged 0-2 years in the 1,000 HPK (first day of life) movement. One of the direct causes of stunting is low quality food consumption, which starts from pregnant women to children aged two years.Objectives: This study generally aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Nutrimenu program on the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of women of mothers.Method: The research design is a pre-post intervention study which specifically analyzes changes in knowledge, attitudes, practices before and after the Nutrimenu program. The program takes the form of nutritional education provided to mothers who have toddlers/school age children, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and prospective brides and grooms. A total of 517 mothers were selected from 12,000 program targets in 4 districts. Results: There were 53% of mothers participating in the program who experienced an increase in knowledge cores about balanced nutrition. Most mothers (54%) experienced an increase in positive attitude scores regarding balanced nutrition. There was a significant increase in the number of mothers who were able to practice daily food consumption according to the contents of My Plate guidelines, namely from 13% to 20% after the program (p<0.05).Conclusion: In general, the Nutrimenu has succeeded in increasing the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of balanced nutrition among participating mothers. This improvement potentially served as a crucial preventive measure against stunting. KEYWORD: balanced-nutrition; behavior; education; my plate

Abstract

Background: Child undernutrition has been a global problem that could be potentially treated with the support of food for special medical purposes, including oral nutrition supplements (ONS). This literature review aims to examine the effectiveness of ONS on growth indicators, length of stay, and the occurrence of adverse events and explore the cost-effectiveness of ONS. Methods: This review summarized findings from 16 articles. The articles were experimental, with or without comparison or control group, and examine nutrition status, other outcomes directly or indirectly related to malnutrition, and cost-effectiveness. Articles were collected from electronic database including PubMed, ProQuest, and Google Scholar with additional articles from Google search engine.Results: Some articles reported that ONS administration, good ONS consumption, and higher ONS density resulted in weight and height gain, improvements in nutrition status, and shorter length of stay compared to those who don’t receive ONS, had poor ONS consumption, and had lower ONS density, although several adverse events of ONS consumption such as gastrointestinal symptoms, diarrhea, and vomiting were also recorded. Conclusion: Studies on the cost-effectiveness of ONS are limited, yet available studies suggest ONS might potentially be a cost-effective nutrition intervention in child malnutrition treatment due to its relatively low cost which potentially reduces direct medical costs.
