Abstract

Background: Language development is a hierarchical change that begins with hearing and learning through hearing through the sounds of words. This research aims to analyze the effect of gadget use on language and speaking abilities. Subjects and Method: An observational analytical research design using a cross sectional approach was carried out at Bayu Asih Hospital, Purwakarta and Rama Hadi Hospital, Purwakarta in November 2023. A total of 200 children under five were used using a random sampling technique. The dependent variable is language and speech delays. The independent variables are gadget use, mother's employment, mother's education, family income, and child's education. The instruments used were Early Detection of Communication Ability Disorders (DDGKB) and questionnaires. Data analysis uses path analysis. Results: The results of path analysis explain that there is an influence of gadget use (b=1.85; 95% CI=1.02 to 3.40; p=0.044), gender (b=1.85; 95% CI=1.02 to 3.40; p=0.044) and parental income (b =1.85; 95% CI=1.02 to 3.40; p=0.044), mother's employment (b=0.56; 95% CI=0.31 to 1.02; p=0.058), mother's employment (b=0.56; 95% CI=0.31 to 1.02 ; p=0.058) and mother's education (b=0.91; CI 95%=0.48 to 1.73; p=0.783) and child's education (b=0.74; CI 95%=0.42 to 1.34; p=0.325) on speech delays in children. Conclusion: Gadget use, gender, parental income, maternal employment, maternal education, and child education increase the risk of speech delays in children.

Abstract

Background: Maternal and infant morbidity and mortality continue to be a challenge today. Most maternal and newborn deaths occur during the early postnatal period. This condition can be caused by low utilization of postnatal care services. This study aims to analyze and estimate the influence of determining factors on the utilization of postnatal care services. Subject and Methods: Meta-analysis was conducted using PRISMA guidelines and PICO format. Population: Postpartum Mothers. Intervention: high antenatal care, high maternal education, high family income and delivery in hospital. Comparison: low antenatal care, low maternal education, low family income, home birth. Outcome: postnatal care services. Cross-sectional study articles were collected from Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct databases. The search strategy used the keywords: "Determinant Postnatal Care" AND "Maternal Health Service" AND "Cross-Sectional". The inclusion criteria for this study were full-text, cross-sectional studies published from 2014 to 2023. Data from articles were extracted with RevMan 5.3. Result: The meta-analysis included 16 cross-sectional studies from Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, and Malawi. The total sample was 29,165 postpartum mothers. Postnatal mothers with high antenatal care visits (aOR= 2.64; 95% CI= 1.87 to 3.71; p = 0.001), high education (aOR= 2.09; 95% CI= 1.67 to 2.63; p = 0.001), high family income ( aOR= 1.63; 95% CI= 1.25 to 2.11; p = 0.002), and hospital delivery (aOR= 1.58; 95% CI= 1.15 to 2.97; p = 0.010) allow the utilization of postnatal care services and these results were statistically significant. Conclusion: The results of this study reveal that high antenatal care, high maternal education, high family income and delivery in hospital have a positive effect on the utilization of postnatal care services.

Abstract

Background: An infant’s requirement for daily energy and nutrients appears to exceed what breast-feeding gives; consequently, incorporating complementary foods into the diet becomes vital for the growth and development of the infant. The study aims to explore the correlation between the age of complementary feeding introduction before the sixth month and its impact on hemoglobin levels and weight status. Subjects and Method: We conducted a case-series study at the Primary Health Care Center/Al-Tahrir, Baquba City, from April 18 to August 30, 2018. The study included a sample of three hundred fully developed infants, aged between 6 and 12 months, consisting of 180 males and 120 females. The dependent variable was complementary feeding. The independent variables were weight status, haemoglobin levels, and weught for age z-score. We obtained the data through face-to-face interviews with the child's mother using a structured questionnaire. Results: Among the women who took part in the study, 43% initiated the practice of providing additional food to their infants between the ages of 4 and 6 months. It was observed that the average hemoglobin level was higher in infants who consumed complementary feeding during the period of 4–6 months. A significant percentage of infants (52.6%) who initiated food intake by nursing or bottle feeding between the ages of 4-6 months exhibited weight levels within the normal range. In contrast, infants who had not yet commenced supplemental feeding showed a lower prevalence of normal weight levels. Furthermore, a majority of infants (83.3%) who engaged in supplemental feeding experienced an increase in hemoglobin levels and an improvement in weight. The research findings indicate that the introduction of supplemental nutrition throughout the period of 4 to 6 months of age has a significant impact on enhancing hemoglobin levels and weight among infants. Conclusion: The study's findings show that mothers frequently reported offering rice water, biscuits, and tea-soaked bread as their primary food sources.

Abstract

Background: Stunting has become a major nutritional problem for children under five in Indo­nesia. Since 2007 until now, the problem of stunting has been detected in Flobamora, including Rote Ndao Regency. The results of the weighing operation in 2023 reported that the prevalence of stunting in NTT province was 21.7%. Measurement data shows that in 2023 there will be 414 babies born, with 38 children experiencing stunting as measured using the baby's birth length. Mother's behavior regarding nutrition and culture of child eating patterns from the time the child is in the womb until the age of under five years plays an important role in shaping the quality of human resources, including preventing the problem of malnutrition, especially stunting. This study aimed to determine the relationship between maternal behavioral factors regarding nutrition and the eating culture of children under five in the stunting locus area, East Nusa Tenggara Province. Subjects and Method: This was a cross sectional study carried out in Mokdale Village, Lobalain District, Rote Ndao Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, from June to August 2023. A sample of 44 children aged 12 to 36 months, consisted of 22 stunted children and 22 normal height children was selected for this study. The dependent variable was stunting. The independent variables were maternal behavior, knowledge, attitude, and feeding practice, child’s eating behavior. The data were analyzed using Chi-square. Results: The incidence of stunting in children increased with maternal behavior regarding poor nutrition (OR = 2.72; 95% CI= 1.25 to 4.19; p= 0.001); maternal knowledge about poor nutrition (OR= 1.13; 95% CI= -1.06 to 2.37; p = 0.060); attitude = mother regarding poor nutrition (OR = 1.74; 95% CI=0.44 to 3.03; p =0.001); maternal actions regarding malnutrition (OR = 3.07; 95% CI = 1.50 to 4.64; p=0.001); and poor eating culture of children under five (OR= 3.03; 95% CI= 0.12 to 3.57; p= 0.001), and these result were statistically significant Conclusion: Maternal behavioral factors regarding good nutrition and good eating culture are closely related and can reduce the chances of problems with the nutritional status of toddlers in the stunting locus area, Lobalain District, Rote Ndao Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province.
