Abstract

The toddler period is a golden period where at the age of 0-5 years the growth and development of the toddler's brain increases rapidly. So every family needs to understand this golden age period so that children's growth and development can be achieved optimally. As individuals who are close to children, mothers have an important role in providing stimulation to children during their development. The study aims to examine the relationship between maternal stress levels and the development of children aged 24-59 months in Palembang City. The study is a quantitative analytic study with a cross-sectional approach. This study uses the design of a random sampling cluster with the number of samples of 128 respondents. There are 8 respondents (80%) of mothers with high levels of stress having children with inappropriate development. Stress levels are associated with child development (p-value=0.047; 95% CI=0.999-24.089) and the confounding variable associated with child development are maternal support system (p-value=<0.001; 95% CI=2.280-10.179).  Mothers with high stress levels had a risk of having children with inappropriate development 2.182 times greater than mothers with low stress levels after controlling for the variable of support system (95% CI = 0.418 - 11.389).

Abstract

Poor sanitation is a significant contributor to health problems in developing countries. The improper handling of household waste contaminates soil, surface water, and groundwater, posing health risks to communities through water consumption and exposure. This study utilizes data from the National Socioeconomic Survey (Susenas) conducted by the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) from 2016 to 2018 to examine the relationship between sanitation facilities and household health quality in Indonesia, analyzing a sample of 883,845 households. Using ordinary least squares (OLS) regression, the findings indicate that households with adequate sanitation facilities generally experience better health outcomes. This study underscores the importance of policy prioritization in establishing communal waste treatment facilities, such as wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), particularly in densely populated areas. This approach aims to mitigate the adverse health impacts of domestic waste pollution on public health.

Abstract

The prevalence of overweight in adolescents is increasing rapidly due to the high production and consumption of sweet foods favored by adolescents. Being overweight during adolescence is correlated with the risk of obesity in adulthood if there is no further prevention. More than one-third of adults and 17% of adolescents are obese, and the prevalence remains stable in America. In Indonesia, the prevalence of excessive nutrition has also reached 16%. This study to determine which types of food consumption are at risk of overweight in adolescents. This research used a cross-sectional design. The study sample consisted of high school students and was selected using random sampling methods. The dependent variable was overweight, and the independent variables included consumption aims of fatty foods, sweet foods, sweet pastries, junk food, and sweet beverages. The gathered data were analyzed using univariate analysis and bivariate analysis with a chi-square test at α = 0.05. This research found that 28% of adolescents are overweight. The results of the bivariate analysis showed that the variables significantly influencing overweight we the consumption of sweet foods (p = 0.02; OR = 2.965, 95% CI = 0.978-8.988) and sweet pastries (p = 0.01; OR = 6.829, 95% CI = 0.987-47.231). In conclusion, the consumption of sweet foods, which implies high sugar intake, is correlated with overweight in adolescents. It is recommended that adolescents limit their consumption of sweet foods containing high sugar levels and increase their nutritional literacy because there is no recommended dietary allowance for sugar
