Abstract

The high prevalence of stunting is a major nutritional problem that must be resolved because it is a threat to the future of Indonesian children. One of the efforts to prevent stunting needs to be done by searching for solutions that can be practiced by the general public by applying positive deviance to improve behavior in fulfilling nutritional content in pregnant women and children. The purpose of this research is to identify and study positive deviance behavior to prevent stunting. The research method used is the qualitative method. The research was conducted for 28 months (February 2020-June 2022) in Gunung Maddah Village, Sampang Regency, Madura Island, East Java, Indonesia. Data collection techniques included the results of Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), in-depth interviews, and observations obtained from 55 informants including mothers of toddlers, parents/parents-in-law, community members, cadres, and health workers. Data analysis techniques included content analysis consisting of data preparation, data editing, and data cleaning. The results showed that positive deviance behavior to prevent stunting in Gunung Maddah Sampang Village included the consumption of milk by pregnant women, the provision of milk to children (breast milk and/or cow's milk), mothers' efforts to overcome eating difficulties, limiting and regulating children's snacking habits, and the consumption of rice with vegetables and side dishes.

Abstract

Decreased immunity is a risk factor for viral respiratory infections, underscoring the crucial role of balanced diets to support the immune system. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the eating habits of people in the location based on balanced nutrition guidelines during the Covid-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional design was used and the samples included 3394 respondents who met the criteria of being ≥15 years old and living in the provinces of Central Java, East Java, Riau, and Southeast Sulawesi. Data were collected using a Google form-based online questionnaire filled out independently by respondents. The gathered data comprised compliance with balanced nutrition recommendations for consuming staples, protein-rich foods, fruits, vegetables, water, salt, sugar, and oil. In addition, diet was also observed based on several sociodemographic variables. The results showed that during the Covid-19 pandemic, 75.7% of respondents had not fulfilled intake according to balanced nutrition advice due to insufficient fruit consumption. However, about 60.6% consistently used dietary supplements, and 77.8% did not limit salt, sugar, as well as oil intake. The population at more risk of inadequate nutrition included younger age groups, males, those with low education, unemployed, and living in areas with high Covid-19 cases. This study concluded that during the Covid-19 pandemic, many Indonesians did not implement a diet based on the principles of balanced nutrition. Therefore, education on the importance of balanced nutrition consumption, local food campaigns, cheap markets, and food aid was needed, specifically for rarely consumed diets such as fruit, by targeting the most vulnerable groups.

Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, pregnant women were reported to face a disproportionately high death rate, reaching nearly 25% of the global pregnant population. According to data from POGI (Indonesian Association of Obstetrics and Gynecology) as of April 2021, 536 pregnant women in Indonesia were exposed to COVID-19 resulting in 16 deaths. This implies an estimated mortality rate of 32 per 1000. Family with pregnant women experience more worries about the COVID-19 infection, which reduces resilience capacity. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the impact of certain factors including husband education, profession, family size, and wealth, as well as the presence of pregnant women on the resilience of family in facing the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional design and analytical observational method were used, while the samples comprised 100 households selected using g-form and accidental sampling. In addition, the data collected were analyzed with the chi-square test. The results showed that family income OR = 2.46 (95% CI = 1.08 - 5.61; p-value = 0.03) and the presence of pregnant women OR = 5.40 (95% CI = 2.25 - 12.96; p-value 0.01) had a significant relationship with family resilience. Specifically, low family resilience was related to lower income and the presence of pregnant women in the household.

Abstract

Infants who are not exclusively breastfed often have the potential to experience implications for their future quality of life. Furthermore, the extent of this impact is influenced by the concerted efforts of both the father and mother in promoting and implementing exclusive breastfeeding. Several studies have also shown that father’s proactive support is an essential factor in its successful implementation. Therefore, this study aims to determine the relationship between paternal control behavior and exclusive breastfeeding. A quantitative cross-sectional method was used and the sample population comprised 326 fathers with children aged < 2 years old. The procedures were carried out in the working area of the Situ Udik Health Center in July 2023. The sample size was calculated using the Slovin size formula, followed by the selection of 77 respondents based on the random sampling technique. The data obtained were then analyzed using the chi-square test to assess the association between the variables. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between father's knowledge (p=0.001), attitude (0.006), and trust (p=000.0) with exclusive breastfeeding. Meanwhile, breastfeeding fathers (0.339) and intention (0.341) had no significant influence. Based on these results, father played an essential role in providing support during this practice

Abstract

The prevalence of stunting among children in 2021 and 2022 was 25.3% and 24.4% respectively, according to Indonesian Nutritional Status Survey in Mataram City. The Religious Court of NTB Province reported that the rate of early marriage among children was 16.59%. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the relationship between early marriage and pregnancy history with stunted children in Mataram City. An analytical survey method was used with a case-control design, questionnaire, and anthropometric measurements conducted in a single session. The samples were selected using cluster random sampling, reaching 61 children aged 24-59 months for normal and stunted groups. The results showed that the samples were predominantly male, while increased weight during pregnancy <10 kg (p=0.009, OR=2.948, CI=1.285-6.766) and maternal height <150 cm (p=0.004, OR=2.937, CI=1.406-6.135) were associated with the incidence of stunted children. On the other hand, early marriage (p=0.926, CI=1.31) had no significant relationship with the incidence of stunting. A history of pregnancy and early marriage simultaneously influenced stunting by 30.5%, with the highest predictor being the height of the mother. Therefore, pregnancy history greatly influenced the incidence of stunting among children in Mataram City.

Abstract

The Healthy Indonesia Program with Family Approach (PIS-PK) is a primary initiative enforced by the current government to enhance the quality of family life and public health. In this context, the assessment of the Healthy Family Index (IKS) is essential for implementing appropriate interventions and efforts to prevent chronic diseases at the family level. Measurement indicators of IKS include healthy, pre-healthy, and unhealthy family categories. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze IKS based on PIS-PK in Jeneponto Regency, South Sulawesi in Indonesia. A quantitative design with an analytical survey was used to measure IKS across the entire family population in the Jeneponto Regency Health Center working area, totaling 1,321 households. The total sampling method was applied, and data from 12 healthy family indicators were evaluated following the IKS formula. The results showed that the average IKS value ranged from 0.59 to 0.77, representing unhealthy, pre-healthy, and healthy family, which constituted 12%, 54.35%, and 33.5% of the examined population, respectively. High numbers of family fell in the pre-healthy and unhealthy categories due to limited participation in family planning program (55.11%), non-utilization of official facilities for childbirth (11.65%), lack of exclusive breastfeeding practices over 7–23 months (10.14%), and absence of weight monitoring at Posyandu (5.59%). Consequently, integrated efforts and cross-sectoral engagement are crucial for improving IKS status.

Abstract

In rural areas, a dearth of health care support services, lack of legal protection, and widespread stigma can lead to increased cases of violence and exploitation, making it increasingly difficult for female sex workers to seek help or escape situations of abuse. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of gender-based violence (GBV) among female sex workers (FSWs) in the Westrand District area of Mogale, South Africa. This was a descriptive, quantitative study conducted among 383 FSWs who were selected using a systematic random sampling technique. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires. About half of the FSWs (45%) were between the ages of 25 and 35. Most of the FSWs were single (91%), and half of them (54%) had completed only secondary education. Results showed that two-thirds of the FSWs (67%) experienced GBV. More than two-thirds (70%) had been belittled, 60% reported being insulted, 43% of FSWs had experienced forced vaginal sex, and another 40% had experienced forced anal or oral sex. Among those who did not report the violence, 18% indicated financial reasons, followed by personal choice. GBV is pervasive among FSWs in Mogale City and hinders HIV prevention efforts as well as access to justice and treatment. An integrated, multi-sectoral GBV strategy that addresses structural risks is required to improve safety and promote access to care and justice.

Abstract

Intraindividual double-burden malnutrition, Wasted-Stunted (WaSt), frequently occurs in the same child simultaneously or at different moments throughout their life. This study aims to identify differences in the sociodemographic characteristics, incidence of infectious diseases, food security, and environmental conditions in the family of children with and without WaSt. The research employed a cross-sectional design conducted from April to October 2022 in Semarang City involving 133 subjects. The independent variables included toddler, mother, father, and family characteristics. The dependent variable was WaSt. The statistical tests used were the Kruskal-Wallis test with the Mann-Whitney U test for data that were not normally distributed and the one-way ANOVA test with the Bonferroni post hoc test for normally distributed data. This research shows that 19% of toddlers have WaSt. There were differences in the incidence of infectious diseases, home sanitation hygiene, father’s education, and food security between toddlers with normal nutritional status and the other two groups (stunted and WaSt) with a p-value <0.05. There were no differences in the incidence and types of infection between WaSt and stunted groups. Most family expenditures were allocated to food (70% in the WaSt and stunting groups and 60% in the normal nutritional status group). The government and related stakeholders need to pay more attention to families of children under five with limited access and facilities for hygiene and sanitation, low income, low parental education, and low food security to prevent an increase in the risk of WaSt.

Abstract

Immunization has been proven to be cost-effective and globally successful in reducing child deaths from infectious diseases. However, the many types of vaccines that must be given to each child in one visit make this practice controversial because they are considered unsafe. The study aims to analyze behavioral determinants of multiple injection immunization practices in rural areas. This is analytical research with a quantitative and cross-sectional approach. The population consists of all children aged 9-12 months in Kendal Regency with a sample of 407 children. Respondents were parents/caregivers selected from 30 PHC. Data were collected by interview using a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Immunization practices are assessed through the Maternal and Child Health-Book. Immunization practice with multiple injections is partially related to education, knowledge, perception (susceptibility, severity, side effects, benefits), self-efficacy, and support (family, health workers, community, informational, and policy). Simultaneously, it is known that health worker support has the most dominant influence, followed by informational support, knowledge, perceived severity, and perceived susceptibility. Efforts are needed to increase health workers' competency in reducing the pain of children due to vaccination, as well as providing education to parents/caregivers effectively through clear communication, reducing misinformation and misperceptions, especially for rural communities.
