Abstract

Stunting is a nutritional problem that occurs in toddlers; this nutritional problem begins to appear when the child is two years old. Stunting is a condition where children experience failure in growth. This study aimed to determine mothers' knowledge about the incidence of stunting in Bagan Serdang Village, Pantai Labu District, Deli Serdang Regency. This research method is a quantitative study using questionnaires, observations, and a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study were mothers who had toddlers in Bagan Serdang Village. Sampling in this study uses Non-Probability Sampling with a Purposive Sampling technique. In the study, a study done in Bagan Serdang Village, the vast majority of respondents needed more knowledge, namely 21 respondents (70%) and nine respondents (30%). This is due to a lack of counseling and a maternal desire to understand what stunting is and how to avoid it. Due to the absence of maternal awareness about the frequency of stunting, stunting rates have occurred. The frequency of stunting in Bagan Serdang Village was determined to be five toddlers (16.7%), whereas 25 toddlers (83.3%) were not stunted or normal. From here, we know that the mother's knowledge about stunting is one of the causes.Some efforts must be made in Bagan Serdang Village to increase mothers' knowledge about stunting in infants and toddlers by counseling mothers on the importance of nutrition in toddlers so that the incidence of stunting can be reduced by promotive, preventive, and curative measures provided by the village in collaboration with health workers.

Abstract

The coronavirus attacks the human respiratory tract. A person can get infected by a Covid-19 patient. The disease can spread through small droplets from the nose or mouth when coughing or sneezing. Transmission of the COVID-19 virus has two main ways, namely through respiratory droplets and contact. Respiratory droplets are produced when a person coughs or sneezes. Everyone in close contact (within a 1 m radius) with a person showing symptoms of respiratory distress (coughing, sneezing) is at risk of being exposed to respiratory droplets that may cause infection. Droplets can also fall onto surfaces where the virus remains active. A total of 93% of Medan city residents have implemented mask-wearing behavior.  Seventeen respondents (56.7%) use a hand sanitizer constantly, 15 respondents (29.4%) use a hand sanitizer sometimes, and 28 respondents (54.9%) never use a hand sanitizer. According to the data shown in table 4 above, seven respondents (90%) always use physical separation, compared to one respondent (10%) who never does so. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we aim to continue to increase our body's immune system and maintain personal hygiene to avoid various diseases and the Covid-19 virus. We also hope for constructive criticism and suggestions from our friends so that the article we have created meets expectations and is useful for all of us

Abstract

The community has an important role in breaking the chain of transmission of COVID-19 so as not to cause new sources of transmission/clusters in places where the movement of people, the interaction between humans, and large gatherings of people occurs. The community must be able to carry out activities again in the COVID-19 pandemic situation by adapting to new habits that are healthier, cleaner, and more obedient, which are implemented by all components in the community and empower all existing resources. The community's role in breaking the chain of transmission of COVID-19 (the risk of contracting and transmitting it) must be done by implementing health protocols.  To provide an overview of the behavior and response of the community to implement health protocols by the Covid-19 Education Team in public places during the New Normal era in the city of Dumai.  This study is research with a qualitative approach. The data used in this study is to use observation which sees and directly observes people's behavior in the field and also takes some data online due to situations that require social distancing. This research was carried out in several public places, including the task stations of the Dumai City Covid-19 Education Team, which began in June-July 2020. The research subjects were the sources of data observed by the research problem.  In general, the behavior and response of the community to the implementation of health protocols during the New Normal period in public places by the Covid-19 Education Team could have been better. Moreover, several factors cause this, namely education, knowledge, and the community's economy. As well as developing issues, public confidence decreases about the dangers of the Covid-19 virus. The educational activities provided will only be meaningful if there is compliance and mutual community support.

Abstract

Aromatherapy is a method that uses essential compounds to improve physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Another effect is to reduce pain and anxiety. Several studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of aromatherapy for pain and stress in maternity patients. Chamomile is one of the herbal medicinal plants that has long been known in human life. Chamomile that has been processed is generally used to treat diseases experienced by humans, namely fever, inflammation, muscle spasms, menstrual disorders, insomnia, wounds, digestive disorders, rheumatic pain, and hemorrhoids. Chamomile oil is used extensively in cosmetics and aromatherapy. Many chamomile treatments can be developed; the most famous medicine is chamomile herbal aromatherapy. This study used a posttest-only control group design with 44 respondents, all pregnant women whose gestational age was between 38-41 weeks.The results of therapy in the form of a decrease in pain in the chamomile oil therapy group compared to the ginger group turned out to have a significant difference. The pain intensity of some respondents before ginger therapy was moderate pain, namely, 12 people (54%) and mild pain, 10 people (46%). After ginger therapy, the pain intensity of respondents experienced no pain, namely as many as 10 people (46%), mild pain in as many as 7 people (32%), and moderate pain in as many as 5 people (22%).Value < 0.05, whereas with ginger, the p-value was 0.049, also the p-value < 0.05, it can be interpreted that chamomile and ginger are both effective in reducing the intensity of labor pain during the active phase I stage, but chamomile is more effective compared to ginger, because the smaller the p-value, the greater the effectiveness, as shown in the table above. There is a significant difference between chamomile and ginger oil in reducing pain.

Abstract

There is still much debate about smoking behavior in Indonesia, some scholars declare it haram [forbidden] to smoke, but others state it is forbidden. There is still a lot of debate among Muslims regarding the maslahat [benefits] and dharar [damage] resulting from smoking. Researchers want to see the effect of maslahat, dharar [damage], and Religiosity on the smoking law. This study followed a cross-sectional design conducted by interviewing 518 Muslim youths taken using the snowball method and disseminating online questionnaires; data analysis uses SMART PLS with a CI of 95%. The results of this study showed an effect between maslahat [benefits] (p<0.001 and T=4.010), dhara (p=0.006 and T=2.744) to fatwa perspective [the view of a group of ulemas about a problem in perspective in Islamic law] and no significance between Religiosity (p=0.433 and T=0.785) to fatwa perspective. There is a significant influence between maslahat [benefits] (p<0.001 and T=4.605), dharar [damage] (p=0.0027 and T=2.218), and Religiosity (p=0.001 and T=2.596) on smoking law. The Indonesian government must be intense in socializing the maslahat [benefits] of smoking behavior and explaining that there is no benefit, so Muslim youths should consider smoking. This is by the rules of Ushul Fiqh, “the government policy is meant to maslahat [benefits] ” through the fatwa on smoking haram [forbidden] for Muslims issued by the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) and Muhammadiyah [Muhammadiyah is one of the islamic organization].

Abstract

There are differences in fatwas about smoking by Islamic organizations, which will impact worshipers' smoking behavior. Behaviors like smoking will be linked to internal factors like being part of an Islamic group, getting religious education, and knowing about the smoking law. Smoking is an activity carried out by many people in Indonesia. Even though smoking is dangerous to health, it is triggering non-communicable diseases, which cause an increase in disability and death. This study follows a cross-sectional design by interviewing 530 Muslims who have prayed in the mosque for the last 14 days. This study used a pre-prepared closed questionnaire. Frequency distribution and cross-tabulation were carried out using JAPS 16 software. The results of this study show that people with religious education are less likely to smoke (12.1% at boarding schools and 36.7% at madrasah aliyah). Mosque worshipers who think smoking has a haram law tend never to smoke (34.1%), while among those who view smoking as a makruh law, many still smoke (4%). The results of this study indicate that Muhammadiyah organizations tend never to smoke (5.8%), Salafi organizations tend not to smoke (1.7%), and Nahdatul Ulama organizations tend not to smoke (80.8%). Many members of the Nahdatul Ulama organization still smoke cigarettes (5.5%). There is a strong link between smoking and things that happen on the inside, like religious education, smoking laws, and Islamic groups. Islamic organizations and smoking laws are factors that have an impact on the smoking behavior of mosque congregations.

Abstract

Prostitution or Commercial Sex Worker (CSW) is exchanging money for sexual services. Someone who sells sexual services is referred to as a prostitute, although the term commercial sex worker is now more commonly used. Method: This study is a qualitative look at how prostitutes in Medan and Batam feel about God. When looking for information for a study on how prostitutes' religion affects their work and lives, it was found that there is not much to go on. To obtain this information, interviews were conducted. In these informal interviews, the participants may be unaware they are being interviewed systematically. The data collection strategy included in-depth interviews and observation of directly involved prostitutes. This method was used to determine how prostitutes thought about religious patterns and to improve and develop the theory. Results: Most Commercial Sex Workers (CSWs) in Medan, Indonesia, are generally unfamiliar with the actual meaning of religion. You can use "Islam" even if you have never done the required worship. In addition, prostitution is viewed as a fact of life experienced alone. In general, the religious knowledge and comprehension of Commercial Sex Workers (CSWs) in Batam are limited.Conclusion: Even more interesting, they know that sin and punishment are different things that do not overlap. Thus, as do prostitution-related activities, prayer, and other forms of worship continue. The causes of prostitution can be broken down into two categories: economic factors and basic needs. In comparison, the following factor is the result of association and friendship. In addition to these two factors, there are at least lifestyle, and sexuality needs as derivative factors.

Abstract

Violence against women and children has several very influential impacts on victims, both short term and long term such as physical, psychological and social impacts. The impact of violence on women and children can add to the problems experienced by victims and their families. Some of the physical impacts that occur on women and children who experience violence are physical injuries to the body and even death, unwanted pregnancies and declining health conditions due to permanent injuries or psychological stress. This study aims to assess the knowledge of nurses.This research is a facility-based cross-sectional study that aims to determine the level of knowledge of nurses. The sampling technique in this study was a total sampling of 56 samples, namely health workers who were directly involved in health services in Jambi City. The measuring instrument used in this study was the Physician Readiness to Manage Intimate Partner Violence Survey (PREMIS) questionnaire. Data analysis using chi square This facility based cross sectional study was carried out among 56 nursing personnel from the public sector. Two thirds of nursing personnel (67%) have moderate knowledge scores and 27% have low knowledge scores; 6% have a high knowledge score on violence. The majority of learning or knowledge needs are in the moderate category and the majority do not have the readiness to deal with victims of violence. Similar to violence against women, domestic violence is also a common occurrence. Domestic violence is common enough that it does not fail to take casualties, and the factors of domestic violence are not always big problems; it can be just a small problem but very impactful if it happens to a person who is quite emotional. Domestic violence affects women, who are always victims, and men; however, women are more likely to be victims.
