Abstract

Stunting is a critical public health issue, with multifactorial risk factors that can include a child's gender, birth length, low birth weight, and unhealthy snack consumption. The aim of this research is to analyze the risk factors for stunting in toddlers in Donggala District. This study employed an analytical approach with a cross-sectional design. The research was conducted in Donggala District, with the target population being children aged 6-23 months. A sample of 397 toddlers was obtained through cluster simple random sampling. The respondents were mothers of the toddlers. Data collection took place in August 2023. The independent variables included in the study were the characteristics of mothers and households, child characteristics, disease history, healthcare access, and dietary intake. The dependent variable was stunting status. Stunting data were obtained by measuring the child's length using Length Board Measuring (LMB) and determining age by reading the birth certificate or the child's KIA book. Other data were collected through the Kobocollect questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 22.00, with Z-Score values based on WHO-Antro 2005 standards. Multivariate analysis employed backward logistic regression. The research results indicated that significant factors contributing to the risk of stunting in toddlers in Donggala District included the child's gender, birth length, low birth weight, and consumption of unhealthy snacks. Birth length (AOR=1.8, 95% CI: 1.1-3.1), child gender (AOR=1.7, 95% CI: 1.0-2.7), low birth weight (AOR=2.3, 95% CI: 1.0-5.2), and unhealthy snack consumption (e.g., chips, cheese balls) (AOR=2.0, 95% CI: 1.0-3.8) were all significant factors. Policies addressing aspects such as nutrition, maternal and child healthcare services, supervision of unhealthy snacks, and monitoring and evaluation would help reduce the risk of stunting and improve the quality of life for children in Donggala District

Abstract

Batubara District is one of 33 districts/cities in North Sumatra Province with relatively high stunting prevalence. This study aimed to determine the determinants of stunting among children under two years of age in the Laut Tador Health Center work area of Batu Bara District in 2023. The design of this study was case-control. The number of samples was 154 (case), and control was 154 (non-stunting). Respondents were mothers of children under two years of age. Independent variables were chosen based on the preliminary study results in the study area, including the mother's education, mother's knowledge, family income, history of mother on ANC visits, history of mother taking iron tablets, history of child getting exclusive breastfeeding, and history of child getting complementary feeding. Trained health workers and members of the researcher team collected all data. Analysis data included univariate, bivariate analysis using chi-square and multivariate (logistic regression) analysis. The study showed that there were significant differences between family income (p < 0.001), history of mother on ANC visits (p < 0,001), history of a mother taking iron tablets (p=0.043), history of children under two years getting exclusive breastfeeding   (p < 0.001), and history of children under two years of getting complementary feeding  (p < 0.001) and stunting, respectively. The role of health posts (Posyandu) and village cadres should be improved to provide information about antenatal care, taking iron tablets during pregnancy, exclusive breastfeeding, and complementary feeding to pregnant women, including monitoring children's growth.

Abstract

Due to contextual issues, including social culture and pluralism, spiritual-based leadership in the nursing field has rarely received attention, resulting in comparatively few research projects. Whereas such research can lead to a spiritually supportive environment, benefiting the patients, nurses, and organizations. Current research aims to explore indicators of spiritual-based transformational leadership in Palu City Hospital. This research was done qualitatively through a grounded theory approach and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). In this case, 12 informants were chosen by purposive sampling. The instrument used was Focus Group Discussion (FGD) guidelines. In this study, the results of the FGD were analyzed using the N Vivo 12 Plus. Based on the qualitative data analysis results, a spiritual-based transformational leadership required three primary skill indicators, namely emotional skills, including emotional proficiency and emotional intelligence, spiritual skills including spiritual attitudes and spiritual intelligence, and social skills, namely being able to behave socially. For further research, it is necessary to carry out model intervention and model evaluation under new normal conditions and add other variable components such as performance and commitment.

The population was all Operative Independent Midwives in East Tanjungkarang District of Bandar Lampung City, which amounted to 42 people, and the entire population was sampled. Data analysis used frequency distribution and bivariate analysis using chi-square. Based on the research results from 42 respondents, most had good knowledge about the early initiation of breastfeeding in the new habit era of 29 people (69%), and most midwives had implemented the early initiation of breastfeeding by complying with the Covid-19 protocol, of which 28 people (66.7%).

Abstract

The increase in positive cases of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) has encouraged the Indonesian government to take lockdown policies by implementing Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) and Emergency Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM), which affect the paralysis of the health sector, especially dentistry. All actions in dental practice are limited to emergency case handling only, and many dentists have closed during the pandemic. The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in oral health-seeking behavior during the first phase of the lockdown in Padang City, West Sumatra, Indonesia. A survey method with a cross-sectional design was done by involving 120 respondents who have dental pain history. The data was collected by a self-administered questionnaire via google-form then analyzed by computerization using the fisher test. The results showed that during the PSBB period, most of the people in Padang (85%) treated dental pain independently, and only 15% asked for caregiver aids, specifically, only 3.3% of respondents take professional service. Meanwhile, during the PPKM period, the utilization of healthcare has increased by around 56,7%, (especially 43.4% treated by dental professionals, and 43.3% of respondents did self-medication. Thus, there was a significant difference of finding dental pain treatment behavior during PSBB and PPKM in Padang City (p = 0.004). As a result, limitation search for managing oral problems during COVID-19 has encouraged society to take self-medication or non-professional caregivers, so it is highly recommended to consult with dental professionals in the course of the pandemic through teledentistry without face-to-face meetings.
