Abstract

Background: According to Indonesian Health Survey in 2023, the prevalence of stunting among adolescents aged 13-15 years was 17.5%, with severe cases, overweight, and underweight reaching 6.6%, 16.2%, and 7.6%, respectively. To address this health condition, there is a need to effectively improve knowledge and attitudes by maintaining a balanced diet through the provision of nutrition education using the SEMAIZIBANG (Showing Balanced Nutrition) card game.   Objectives: This research aimed to determine the difference in nutrition education using the SEMAIZIBANG card game media with lectures on improving knowledge, attitudes, and balanced nutrition diets for junior high school students. Methods: The quasi-experimental research was conducted using a pretest and posttest design, with a total of 48 participants selected for each group through the Slovin formula. Data collection was performed using validated knowledge and attitude questionnaires, alongside Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) form. The intervention group was given nutrition education through the SEMAIZIBANG card game, while the control received a lecture method, with both groups subjected to 8 treatments. The data obtained were tested through paired and independent sample t-tests. Results: The results showed that there was a significant increase in knowledge and attitudes in education with SEMAIZIBANG media (p-value 0.077), but not in dietary patterns. The difference test between the two groups showed significant variation in knowledge and attitudes but not in dietary patterns (p-value 0.379). Conclusions: This research shows that nutrition education through the SEMAIZIBANG card game or lectures significantly improves students knowledge and attitudes. However, the dietary patterns are not affected due to the short intervention duration and limited assessment.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that has a serious impact. The results of SSGI in 2021 the prevalence of stunting in East Nusa Tenggara was 24.4 percent. The highest stunting in South Central Timor District (TTS) was 48.3 percent. The causes of stunting are multifactorial; in addition to inadequate nutritional intake, sociodemographic factors and the role of fathers can affect parenting and susceptibility to infectious diseases. The determinants of stunting incidence in each region are different, including sociodemographics and parenting patterns. Objectives: This study aims to determine the risk factors for stunting according to sociodemographics and the role of fathers in the South Central Timor district. Methods: This research is a quantitative study with a Cross-Sectional Design. The number of samples used was 280 people with a purposive sampling technique based on the researcher's criteria. The research instrument used questionnaires and anthropometric measurements. The data collected included sociodemographic variables, data on child characteristics, and the role of fathers in preventing stunting. Data obtained from secondary data interviews, observations, and anthropometric measurements to measure the nutritional status of toddlers. Data analysis was carried out in stages; the results of bivariate analysis with a p-value below 0.25 were included in the multivariate analysis modeling of logistic regression tests. This study received ethical approval from the Ethics Committee of the Poltekkes Kemenkes Kupang No LB.02.03/1/0156/2024. Results: The results of the bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between a history of infectious diseases, low birth weight <2500 grams, low exclusive breastfeeding, nutritional status of pregnant women with KEK, and the role of fathers with the incidence of stunting in Tobu Village and Noesiu Village. This is indicated by a p-value <0.05, while the results of the multivariate analysis showed that the nutritional status of pregnant women and exclusive breastfeeding had the greatest influence on the incidence of stunting. Conclusion: The biggest risk factors for stunting in this study were maternal nutritional status and low exclusive breastfeeding. Specific variables need to be added in further studies, including complete basic immunization, smoking behavior, and nutritional intake.

Abstract

Backgrounds. Eight hundred thirty mothers in the world die every day due to complications of pregnancy and childbirth. Direct caused are 75% because of bleeding, 24% by high blood pressure during pregnancy (preeclampsia), infection, or prolonged or obstructed labor. Other cause of maternal death is low awareness and the delay in recognizing danger signs during pregnancy, late decision-making caused the mother to be late in reaching a health facility, and the impact was being late for further health intervention. The Government relied on the MCH book, which was revised in 2024, but still provides one-way communication, which is easily damaged and impractical. The classical method must be accompanied by learning videos or MHealth technology, for example, in the form of health applications to increase mother awarness of pregnancy danger signs. Objectives. This research is a pilot test to measure usser acceptanse of S-MOM Application, determine the effectiveness of the S-MOM Application in improving awareness pegnancy danger signs and mother adherence to check danger signs of pregnancy using S-MOM aplication. Method.. This research used a quasi-experimental design, the sample for the quasi-test (35) and quasi-control (35) groups. The researcher used data from the questionnaire to compare the differences in using the MCH book and the S-MOM application. Results. On the Usser Acceptance Test, pregnant women and midwives rated the S-MOM application with the majority reporting "good" to "excellent" acceptance levels. The quasi-control group showed lower improvement in knowledge compared to the quasi-test group, with a p-value of 0.01, while the control group showed lower improvement in maternal attitude for screening emergency signs of pregnancy compared to the quasi-test group, with a p-value of 0.01. With p-value of 0.047 and OR 0.210, indicating a significant relationship between awareness of pregnancy danger signs and adherence to the S-MOM application. Conclusion. Midwives and pregnant mother The s-MOM application has effectiveness in increasing attitude scores, and is medium to improving knowledge. In contrast, the MCH book has proven less effective in increasing knowledge but medium in mothers' attitudes. Mothers with low adherence are five times less likely to be aware of pregnancy danger signs.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is a chronic nutritional deficiency that affects physical growth, cognitive development, and children’s future independence. Prevention is most effective during the first two years of life, when most brain development occurs. A preliminary study in the working area of Putri Ayu Public Health Center (February 2024) identified 20 children with stunting. Weight loss was also observed in infants over six months due to adaptation from exclusive breastfeeding to complementary foods, although age-appropriate weight gain is expected. While the health center provides supplementary feeding, infant massage has not been utilized as an intervention to support weight gain and developmental stimulation. Infant massage may increase appetite, weight, and developmental progress, and egg consumption is known to improve weight and length in children. Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of infant massage combined with egg consumption on the growth and development of infants aged 6–12 months in preventing stunting. Methods: This quasi-experimental study involved 30 infants aged 6–12 months, divided into 15 infants in the intervention group and 15 in the control group. The intervention group received infant massage and one egg daily, while the control group received one daily egg. Growth and development were measured at baseline and after four weeks. Results: Paired t-tests showed significant differences (p-value<0.05) in weight and length before and after intervention in both groups. Wilcoxon tests indicated significant developmental improvement in the intervention group (p-value=0.004) and the control group (p-value=0.046). Conclusions: Infant massage combined with daily egg consumption is effective in improving growth and development among infants aged 6–12 months.

Abstract

Background: Anemia is a significant global health problem among adolescent girls and requires effective prevention strategies. One approach to address this issue is Iron Folic Acid Supplementation (IFAS), also known as iron tablet supplementation (TTD), implemented through school-based programs. However, program success depends on the use of appropriate and integrated strategies within the health and education systems to improve compliance, even without direct supervision. Objectives: This study aimed to identify a school-based empowerment intervention model to improve adherence to IFAS among adolescent girls. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was conducted in two high schools in Jambi City over a three-month period. The study involved 78 female students aged 15–18 years, selected using purposive sampling and divided equally into intervention and control groups. The intervention included scheduling one day per week for collective IFA consumption and establishing peer monitoring teams to assess compliance by counting remaining tablets and recording intake using colored body puzzles. The control group received only baseline information. Hemoglobin, erythrocyte, and hematocrit levels were measured before and after the intervention to evaluate effectiveness, and data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test. Results: The results showed significant differences between the two groups. Compliance improved (p-value=0.03), hemoglobin increased (p-value=0.001) from 1.02 g/dL to 13.13 g/dL, erythrocyte rose slightly (p-value=0.004), and hematocrit improved (p-value=0.002). Conclusions: The IFAS model effectively improved compliance and hematological outcomes, indicating its potential to support long-term reproductive health among adolescent girls.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is considered a chronic nutritional problem with serious impacts. In 2021, SSGI reported a 24.4% prevalence of stunting in East Nusa Tenggara, with South Central Timor (48.3%) experiencing the highest cases. Stunting causes are multifactorial, influenced by inadequate nutrition, sociodemographic factors, and paternal roles affecting parenting and infection susceptibility. Objectives: This study aims to determine the risk factors for stunting according to sociodemographic characteristics and fathers' role in the South Central Timor Regency. Methods: A cross-sectional quantitative design was used, including 280 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Inclusion criteria were children aged 6–59 months residing in Noesiu and Tobu Villages, possessing a Child Health Card (KIA), and providing informed consent. Exclusion criteria were families of stunted children who were absent or had relocated. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, anthropometric measurements, and secondary sources. Logistic regression was used for both bivariate and multivariate analyses. Furthermore, variables with p-values<0.25 in the bivariate stage were incorporated into the final model. The Kupang Health Polytechnic's Health Research Ethics Committee provided the ethical permission (No. LB.02.03/1/0156/2024). Results: Stunting was found to be significantly associated with low birth weight, exclusive breastfeeding, a history of infectious diseases, mothers' nutritional status (chronic energy deficiencies), and paternal role (p-value<0.05). Multivariate analysis identified maternal nutritional status and exclusive breastfeeding as the most influential factors. Conclusions: Maternal nutritional status and low rates of exclusive breastfeeding were identified as major risk factors for stunting. Further studies should include variables such as immunization status, smoking habits, and diet.
