Abstract

Background: There is growing evidence of the connections between slow growth in height early in life and impaired health and educational and economic performance later in life. Basic Health Research (Riset Kesehatan Dasar, Riskesdas) conducted by The Minister of Health in 2010, showed that prevalence of stunting in Indonesia was 35.6% of children aged under five years old. This study aimed to examine  path analysis on the effect of biopsychosocial and economic factors during gestational period on the risk of stunting and development in children under five, in Nganjuk, East Java.Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational study with case control design.  This study was conducted at Bagor Community Health Center, Nganjuk, East Java.  A total sample of 150 children under five, consisting of 50 stunted children and 100 normal children, was selected for this study by  fixed exposure sampling. The dependent variables were stunting and development. The independent variables were  middle upper arm circumference (MUAC) and family support at pregnancy, low birthweight, maternal height, maternal schooling, and family income. The stunting was measured by anthropometry (weight for height). The child development was measured by Kuesioner Pra-Skrining Perkembangan (KPSP). Other variables were measured by a set of questionnaire. The data were analyzed by path analysis.Results: Low birth weight had direct negative effect on stunting (b=0.99; p=0.897). Maternal height (b=-2.58; p= 0.029), maternal education (b=-1.55; p=0.002), and family income (b=-1.30; p=0.002) had direct negative effects on stunting. Low birth weight (b=-0.27; p=0.253) and family income (b=-0.007; p=0.976) have negative but statistically non-significant effect on development. Maternal education had positive but statistically non-significant effect on development (b=2.16; p=0.883). MUAC (b=-4.60; p<0.001) had negative and statically significant effect on low birth weight. Family support  had positive but statistically non-significant on low birth weight (b=0.52; p=0.492). Maternal height had positive and statistically significant effect on MUAC (b=3.16; p<0.001). Family income had positive but statistically non-significant effect on MUAC (b=0.83; p=0.253).Conclusion: MUAC and maternal education have indirect, negative and statistically significant effect on stunting Maternal height, maternal education, and family income, have direct, negative, and statistically significant effect on stunting.Keywords: stunting, biopsychosocial, economic, gestational periodCorrespondence : Erike Yunicha Viridula.

Abstract

Background: Exclusive breastfeeding in the puerperium period is beneficial for mother and infant. Breastfeeding stimulate oxytocin release that will increase uterine contraction. It in turn fastens uterine involution process and eventually prevents prolonged post partum bleeding. Breastfed infants are healthier, have better nutritional status, and less probability of dying. Therefore, there is a need to develop a health promotion model that empowers post partum mothers to visit maternity clinic for post partum examination. This study aimed to determine factors that affect maternal visits to maternity clinic for post partum examination.Subjects and Method: This was an analytical observational study with cross-sectional design. This study was conducted in Sleman, Yogyakarta. A total sample of 125 post partum mothers was selected for this study. The dependent variable was number of visits to maternity clinic for post partum examination. The independent variables were maternal knowledge, access to information, husband support, stakeholder role, and participation in maternal health promotion class. The data were collected by a set of questionnaire, and then were analyzed by Structural Equation Model (SEM).Results: The SEM showed Goodness of Fit, with indicators as follows: Chi Square 263.01, p= 0.055, RMSEA=0.025, GFI=0.98, NFI=0.92, and CFI 1.00. Maternal knowledge (b=0.15), access to information (b=0.42), husband support (b=0.52), stakeholder role (b=0.57), participation in maternal health promotion class (b=0.04).Conclusion: Maternal knowledge, access to information, husband support, stakeholder role, participation in maternal health promotion class, are important determinant of maternal visit to maternal clinic for post partum examination.Keywords: maternal visit, maternal clinic, health promotion class, puerperium.Correspondence: Eny Retna Ambarwati.

Abstract

Background: Child immunization coverage was low in several health centers in Surakarta, Central Java. Some of the health centers did not achieve GAIN Universal Child Immunization (UCI) target in 2014. For example, Penumping Health Center (HBV <7 days= 86.9%, BCG= 87.8%, Campak= 87.5%, DTP-HBV-HIB= 86.7%, Polio= 87.5%) and Banyuanyar Health Center (Campak= 89.6%). This study aimed to determine the effect of maternal perception on completeness of child immunization status using Health Belief Model (HBM).Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational study with case control design. It was conducted at Penumping and Banyuanyar Health Centers, Surakarta, Central java. A total sample of 120 mothers and their respective children aged <9 years was selected for this study by fixed disease sampling. This sample consisted of children with complete immunization and the other children with incomplete immunization (ratio= 1:4). The dependent variable was completeness of immunization status. The independent variables were maternal perception on various HBM constructs, including perceived susceptibility, seriousness, threat, benefit, and barrier. The data were collected by a set of questionnaire, and analyzed by path analysis.Results: Perceived susceptibility had indirect and positive effect on completeness of immunization status via perceived threat, although it was not statistically significant (b= 0.63; 95% CI= -0.13 to 1.39; p= 0.104). Perceived seriousness had indirect positive and statistically significant effect on completeness of immunization status via perceived threat (b= 1.10; 95% CI =0.71 to 3.04; p=0.005). Perceived threat (b= 1.88; 95% CI= 0.34 to 1.86; p= 0.002), and perceived benefit (b= 1.83; 95% CI = 0.69 to 2.96; p= 0.002), showed direct positive and statistically significant effect on completeness of immunization status. Perceived barrier had direct and negative effect on completeness of immunization status  (b= -0.96; 95% CI= -1.97 to 0.05; p= 0.063).  Conclusion: Maternal perception on child susceptibility, disease seriousness, disease threat, benefit and barrier of immunization, have effects on the completeness of immunization status.Keywords: immunization status, completeness, health belief modelCorrespondence: Yessica Eka Puri.

Abstract

Background: Unintended pregnancies remain a substantial global public health issue despite considerable advances in contraceptive technologies. The global trend shows that the use of permanent contraception to prevent unintended pregnancy is high. Although the trend also shows a rise in the use of long-acting reversible methods, these are still underutilized despite having contraceptive as well as non-contraceptive benefits. This study aimed to examine the determinants of participation in long-term contraceptive method among women of reproductive age in Nganjuk, East Java, using Theory of Planned Behavior.Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational study, using case control design. This study was conducted in Bagor, Nganjuk, East Java. A total of 100 women of reproductive age was selected for this study by fixed disease sampling. The independent variables were constructs in the Theory of Planned Behavior, i.e. attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavior control. The dependent variables were intention and participation in long-term contraceptive use. The data were collected by a set of questionnaire, and analyzed by path analysis.Results: Intention had direct and positive effect on participation in long-term contraceptive use (b=2.07; CI 95% 0.78-3.36; p=0.002). Attitude (b=1.40; CI 95% 0.41-2.40 p=0.006), subjective norm (b=1.64; CI 95% 0.76-2.53; p<0.001), and perceived behavior control (b=1.22; CI 95% 0.32-2.12; p=0.008) had indirect positive effect on participation in long-term contraceptive use through intention.
