Abstract

Background: The use of gadgets in early childhood can affect the mental and physical deve­lop­ment of children. The Indonesian Pediatric Association (IDAI) estimates that 5-10% of children ex­perience developmental delays. Children's development is influenced by environmental factors, pa­rents, nutritional status, and the use of gadgets. This study aimed to analyze the effect of gadget use on child development in Melawi, West Kalimantan, using path analysis model.Subject and Method: This was a cross sectional study conducted in Melawi, West Kalimantan, Indonesia, from August to September 2019. A total 200 children aged 3 to 5 years old was selected by fixed ex­posure sampling. The dependent variable was child development. The independent variables were gadget usage, maternal age, maternal education, maternal em­ploy­ment, family income, number of children, and family type. The data were collected by ques­tion­naire. The data were analyzed by path analysis run on Stata 13.Result: Child development was directly and positively affected by maternal aged ?20 years old (b= 1.52; 95% CI= -0.29 to 3.35; p= 0.101), high maternal education (b=2.53; 95% CI=1.23 to 3.84; p<0.001), family income ?Rp 2,288,000 (b= 1.38; 95% CI= 0.01 to 2.77; p= 0.049), and core family type (b= 1.61; 95% CI= 0.43 to 2.80; p= 0.008). Child development was directly and nega­tively affected by gadget use (b= -2.74; 95% CI= -3.99 to -1.49; p<0.001), mother working outside the house (b= -1.98; 95% CI= -3.06 to -0.90; p<0.001), and number of children >2 (b= -2.48; 95% CI= -3.67 to -1.29; p<0.001). Child development was indirectly affected by maternal education and maternal employment.Conclusion: Child development is directly and positively affected by maternal aged ?20 years old, high maternal education, high family income, and core family type. Child development is directly and nega­tively affected by gadget use, mother working outside the house, and number of children >2. Child development is indirectly affected by maternal education and maternal employment.Keywords: gadget use, child development, path analysisCorrespondence: Livia Calorina.

Abstract

Background: Every year, more than 1.4 million children worldwide die from diseases that can be prevented by immunization. Immunization is still one of the most cost-effective preventive mea­su­res to reduce mortality and morbidity among child­ren. This study aimed to analyze the influ­ence of posyandu contextual and maternal cha­rac­teristics on the provision of complete basic im­mu­ni­za­tion in children aged 12-23 months.Subjects and Method: This was an observa­tional analytic study with a cross sectional design. The study was conduct­ed at 25 integrated health posts (posyandu) in Jember, East Java, Indonesia from Sep­tem­ber to October 2019. A sample of 200 mothers who had children aged 12-23 months was selected by simple random sampling. The dependent variable was complete basic immunization. The independent variables were maternal education, maternal knowledge, parity, maternal em­ploy­ment status, family income, maternal attitude, family support, and contextual effect of pos­yandu. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a multilevel logistic regression analysis run on Stata 13.Results: Provision of complete basic immuniza­tion increased with maternal education ≥Senior high school (b= 2.99; 95% CI= 1.26 to 4.73; p= 0.001), good maternal knowledge (b= 1.93; 95% CI= 0.38 to 3.53; p= 0.018), family income ≥Rp 2,170,000 (b= 1.18; 95% CI= -0.15 to 2.50; p= 0.081), positive maternal attitude (b= 1.92; 95% CI= 0.45 to 3.39; p= 0.011), and strong family sup­port (b= 2.29; 95% CI= 0.62 to 3.96; p= 0.007). Complete basic immunization decreased with ma­ternal parity ≥3 (b= -1.35; 95% CI= -2.68 to -0.01; p= 0.048) and mother working outside the ho­me (b= -2.67; 95% CI= -4.49 to - 0.85; p= 0.004). Posyandu had contextual effect on the pro­vi­si­on of complete basic immunization in children aged 12-23 months with ICC= 23.65%.Conclusion: Provision of complete basic im­mu­nization increases with maternal education ≥Se­nior high school, good maternal knowledge, fa­mi­ly income ≥Rp 2,170,000, positive maternal at­titude, and strong family support. Complete basic immunization decreases with maternal parity ≥3 and mother working outside the home. Posyandu has contextual effect on the pro­vision of com­ple­te basic immunization in children.Keywords: basic immunization, children aged 12-23 months, integrated health post, multilevel analysisCorrespondence: Revina Fiandany Erynda.

Abstract

Background: WHO analysis estimates the number of children with disabilities reaching 7-10% of the total population of children. The limitations of retarded children are influenced by age, physical condition, nutritional status of the child, and parenting in the family have a relationship in the level of independence of the children. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors that influence self-care in retarded children in Surakarta, Central Java.Subjects and Method: This study was a cross sectional study conducted in 15 special schools in Surakarta, Central Java, from June to July 2019. A sample of 200 mentally retarded children aged 9-17 years was selected by stratified random sampling. The dependent variable was self care. The independent variables were age, nutritional status, mental retardation classification, maternal age, maternal education, maternal occupation, maternal knowledge, parenting style, and teacher sup­port in school. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a multilevel multiple logistic regression run on Stata 13.Results: Good self-care in mentally retarded children increased with aged ?15 years (b= 4.61; 95% CI= 2.53 to 6.69; p<0.001), mild retardation (b= 2.02; 95% CI= 0.13 to 3.91; p= 0.036), maternal education ?senior high school (b= 1.23; 95% CI= 0.22 to 2.25; p= 0.017), and good maternal parenting style (b= 1.42; 95% CI= 0.21 to 2.62; p= 0.021). Good self-care decreased with undernourished children (b= -2.16; 95% CI= -3.44 to -0.87; p= 0.001), low maternal knowledge (b= -1.56; 95% CI= -2.90 to -0.22; p= 0.023), and weak teacher support (b= -3.34; 95% CI= -5.41 to -1.26; p= 0.002).Conclusion: Good self-care in mentally retarded children increases with aged ?15 years, mild retardation, maternal education ?senior high school, and good maternal parenting style. Good self-care decreases with undernourished children, low maternal knowledge, and weak teacher support.Keywords: self-care, mental retardation, childrenCorrespondence: Janur Putri Wayanshakty.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is a form of malnutrition that has an impact on decreased learning achie­ve­ment, motor and mental development and intellectual. Exclusive breastfeeding is a perfect nu­tri­tion for the First 1,000 Days of Life for normal growth. Maternal nutritional status also plays an im­por­tant role for the success of breastfeeding whose indicators are measured by the duration of ex­­clu­sive breastfeeding and the nutritional status of children. Adequacy of zinc is an important mi­cro­nutrient during the child's growth period to prevent growth failure. This study aimed to analyze the association between exclusive breastfeeding, maternal nutritional status, maternal zinc in­ta­ke, and stunting in infants aged 6 months.Subjects and Method: This was cross sectional study conducted in the 3 areas of Community He­alth Center, Jember Regency. The subjects of the study were infants aged 6 month and 115 mo­thers. Infants were selected by cluster sampling and simple random sampling for each area. The zinc intake data was obtained by the 24 hours Recall. Body Mass Index was used to obtain maternal nu­­­tritional status data. The stunting data measured by microtoise. The other data were collected by ques­tionnaire. The data were analyzed by path analysis.Results: Exclusive breastfeeding (b = - 0.61; 95% CI = -1.42 to 0.21; p = 0.143) and maternal zinc in­take (b = -0.04; 95% CI = 1.35 to 0.58; p = 0.436) directly decreased the risk of stunting in in­fants. Maternal BMI indirectly affected the risk of stunting in infants through exclusive breast­feedingConclusion: Exclusive breastfeeding and maternal zinc intake directly decrease the risk of stun­ting in infants. Maternal BMI (Body Mass Index) indirectly affect to the risk of stunting in infants thro­ugh exclusive breastfeeding.Keywords:  Exclusive breastfeeding, nutritional status, zinc intake, stuntingCorrespondence: Ivanda Glanny Anindya.

Abstract

Background:  The World Health Organization (WHO) calls for all regions in the world not to have a caesarean section (SC) rate of more than 15%. Globally, since 2003-2018, Emer­­gency Ca­esarean Section (EmCS) and Elec­tive Cae­sarean Section (ElCS) actions have con­tinued to in­crease by 4% each year to 21%. Previous studies report that EmCS increases the risk of com­pli­cations in the fetus compared to ElCS. Based on the problem above, this study aims to analyze and compare complications ex­p­erienced by the fe­tus in the process of Emer­gency Caesarean Section (EmCS) and Elective Caesarean Section (ElCS).Subjects and Method: This was sys­tem­atic review and meta-analysis study, which was con­ducted from July-August 2019. The data were obtained from Pub­Med, Sci­ence Direct, Web of Science, Springer Link, and Cochrane Data­base. The keywords were "elective cesa­rean sec­tion (ElCS) AND emergency cesarean section (Em­CS)" AND "emer­gency cesarean section (Em­CS) and fetal complication" AND "elective ce­sa­re­an sec­­tion (ECS) and fetal complication" AND "elec­­tive cesarean section (EmCS) AND fetal compli­cation" (ElCS) AND emergency ce­sa­rean section (EmCS) AND fetal complication.Results: Emergency cesarean section incre­a­ses the likelihood of neonatal death 4 times high­er than the elective cesarean section and is statistically significant (RR= 4.02; 95% CI= 2.41 to 6.72). Emergency cesarean section can in­­crease the likelihood of apgar score dec­rease 2 times higher than elective cesarean sec­tion and statistically significant (RR= 2.07; 95% CI= 1.03 to 4.15). Emergency cesarean section is 1.62 times higher than elective cesa­rean section and statistically significant (OR= 1.62; 95% CI= 1.19 to 2.20).Conclusion: Emergency cesarean section can increase the likelihood of death, decrease Apgar score <6, and hypoxia in the fetus compared to elective cesarean section.Keywords: emergency cesarean section, elec­tive cesarean section, meta-analysisCorrespondence: Ika Yulianti.

Abstract

Background:  Early childhood development is a critical period in children's lives. The develop­ment index in early childhood in Indonesia is rela­­­tive­ly low compared to other developing coun­­­tries, which is 88.3%. Various factors that can influence early childhood development were the nutritional status of children, stimulation by pa­rents, exclusive breastfeeding, dietary patterns, and parental characteristics. This study aimed to analy­ze the contextual influence of early child­hood education on child development in Tanjung Jabung Timur, Jambi.Subjects and Method: This was a cross sec­tional study conducted at 25 early childhood schools in Tanjung Jabung Timur, Jambi, from Sep­tember to October 2019. A sample of 200 child­ren aged 3-6 years old was selected by stra­tified random sampling. The dependent variable was child development. The independent variables were nutritional status, dietary pattern, ex­clu­sive breastfeeding, maternal education, mater­nal occupation, and family income. Child deve­lop­ment was measured by The Indonesian child deve­lopment prescreening questionnaire. The other data were collected by questionnaire. The data were analyzed by a multilevel multiple logis­tic regression run on Stata 13.Results: Early childhood development increased with good nutritional status (b= 1.88; 95% CI= 0.48 to 3.28; p= 0.008), good dietary pattern (b= 1.58; 95% CI= 0.26 to 2.91; p= 0.019), exclusive breastfeeding (b= 0.64; 95% CI= -0.69 to 1.99; p= 0.346), maternal education ≥High school (b=  2.45; 95% CI= 0.97 to 3.92; p= 0.001), and family income ≥Rp 2,840,000 (b= 1.93; 95% CI= 0.32 to 0.53; p= 0.018). Early childhood development decreased with maternal working outside the house (b= -1.42; 95% CI= -2.66 to -0.17; p= 0.025). Early childhood school had low effect on child development with intra-class correlation= 10.09%.Conclusion: Early childhood development was influenced by nutritional status, dietary patterns, ex­clusive breastfeeding, maternal education, maternal employment, and family income. Early child­hood education has contextual influence on child development.Keywords: child development, early childhood edu­cationCorrespondence: Dinda Septiani Hardilla.
