Abstract

Background: There is a piece of increasing evidence that exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) up to six-month of age has important consequences on health and nutritional outcomes of children. However, studies on the contextual effect of integrated health post (posyandu) on EBF are scarce. The purpose of this study was to examine the contextual effect of posyandu on exclusive breastfeeding using multilevel analysis.Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Sleman, Yogyakarta, from November to December 2018. A sample of 200 lactating mothers was selected by simple random sampling. The dependent variable was exclusive breastfeeding. The independent variables were knowledge, education, age, parity, birth spacing, employment, and family support. The data were collected by a multilevel logistic regression.Results: Exclusive breastfeeding increased with good knowledge (b= 2.66; 95% CI= 0.85 to 4.47; p= 0.004), high education (b= 2.10; 95% CI= 0.29 to 3.91; p= 0.023), maternal age 20-35 years (b= 3.35; 95% CI= 1.46 to 5.24; p<0.001), multiparous (b= 2.90; 95% CI= 0.41 to 3.39; p= 0.012), birth spacing ≥2 years (b= 2.91; 95% CI= 0.92 to 4.89; p= 0.004), unemployed mother (b= 4.53; 95% CI= 2.39 to 6.67; p<0.001), strong family support (b= 2.88; 95% CI= 1.04 to 4.72; p= 0.002). Integrated health post had substantial contextual effect on exclusive breastfeeding with ICC= 29.2%.Conclusion: Exclusive breastfeeding increases with high knowledge, high education, maternal age 20-35 years, multiparous, birth spacing, unemployed mother, strong family support. Integrated health post has the substantial contextual effect on exclusive breastfeeding.Keywords: exclusive breastfeeding, integrated health post, multilevel analysisCorrespondence: Esti Lestari.

Abstract

Background: Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) and anemia in pregnant women have a health impact on the mother and child in the womb. This condition can increase the risk of babies with low birth weight, miscarriage, premature birth, even death in mothers and newborns. This study aims to determine the relationship between CED and anemia in pregnant women at the Muara I Health Center in Lhokseumawe City in 2017.Subjects and Method: This study was a cross-sectional study conducted at the Muara I Community Health Center, Lhokseumawe, in December 2017. A sample of 90 pregnant women was selected by consecutive sampling. The dependent variable was the anemia of pregnant women. The independent variables were education and CED. CED was measured based on maternal mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) during pregnancy using MUAC tape. The hemoglobin level was measured by Hb Sahli. Other data were measured using a questionnaire. The data were analyzed using multiple logistic regression tests.Results: CED has a significant positive and statistically significant effect on anemia in pregnant women (OR = 64.34; 95% CI = 15.10 to 274.10; p <0.001). Low maternal education has a positive effect but was statistically significant towards anemia in pregnant women (OR = 3.15; 95% CI = 0.81 to 12.27; p = 0.099).Conclusion: CED and low maternal education have a positive effect on anemia in pregnant women.Keywords: anemia, pregnant women, education, chronic lack of energyCorrespondence: Helliyana, Masters Program in Public Health, Faculty of Public Health, Universitas Sumatera Utara, Jl.

Abstract

Background: DPT3 immunization coverage is considered as one indicator of the success of immunization programs in various countries. Indonesia is one of the countries that adopted Expand Program in Immunization (EPI) in 1977 which later introduced DPT as part of routine basic immunization services for infants, although there are still infants who do not get complete DPT immunization at this time. The purpose of this study was to analyze contextual effect of the integrated health post on DPT3 immunization uptake among infants in Wonogiri, Central Java.Subjects and Method: This was an analytical observational study with a cross sectional design. It was conducted in Wonogiri community health center II, East Java, from October to December 2018. A sample of 200 infants was selected from 25 integrated health posts with simple random sampling.
