Abstract

Stunting in early life, particularly in the first 1000 days has longterm consequences on children’s physical growth, cognitive performance, and emotional well-being. Adequate parental and community knowledge plays a critical role in enabling early recognition, prevention, and appropriate management of factors contributing to stunting. This study aims to investigate the impact of health education on community knowledge related to stunting. A cross-sectional design was applied involving 24 adult participants (≥ 18 years) from the general public in Teluk Sasah District, Bintan Island using total sampling. The educational intervention was delivered through pamphlet distribution, health talks, and discussions with experts focusing on stunting. Pre and post-test were conducted to assess their understanding about stunting. Data were analyzed using Statistical Product and Service Solution (SPSS) Software version 16.0, employing the Shapiro-wilk for normality and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to compare scores before and after the interventions. This study demonstrated a significant difference between pre-test and posttest (80.83 ± 9.74 vs 90.83 ± 7.76, p=0.000). Furthermore, the minimum score of post-test and pre-test also improved markedly (60.00 vs 70.00, p=0.000). This study found that the implementation of health education, including pamphlet distribution, classical lectures, and case discussions, effectively enhanced participants’ knowledge about stunting.

Abstract

The early developmental period in children is a crucial stage marked by rapid growth and development. The number of interconnected neurons can be observed to determine the quality of brain development in a child. Stimulation affects the connections between neurons. This research is an analytical, observational, cross-sectional study that aims to investigate the relationship between stimulation using the Mother and Child Health (MCH) book and the development of children aged 3–5 years at Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal Preschool and Kindergarten, Surabaya. The sample for this research consists of 104 pairs of mothers and children aged 3–5 years old selected using a purposive sampling method. This research utilized primary data collected through a questionnaire based on the MCH book, completed by the mothers in the sample. A total of 79 children in the good stimulation category exhibit good development, while 21 exhibit deficient development. Meanwhile, four children in the deficient stimulation category show developmental delays. Fisher’s Exact Test shows a significant relationship (p-value = 0.003 < 0.05) with a weak relationship (C = 0.335) between maternal stimulation based on the MCH book and the development of children aged 3-5 years old in Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal Preschool and Kindergarten, Surabaya. Therefore, it can be concluded that maternal stimulation, as outlined in the MCH book, has a significant impact on the development of children aged 3–5 years old in Preschool and Kindergarten Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal Surabaya.

Abstract

Postpartum depression remains a major global public health issue, with significant prevalence worldwide, in both low- and high-income countries. Postpartum depression not only affects the mother but also has detrimental effects on the infant. Despite this, it remains a neglected topic, with a lack of treatment services provided, especially in low and lower-middle-income countries. This study aims to compare treatment approaches across highand low-income countries, identify variations in their approaches, and determine the most effective treatment options for each country's income group, particularly low-income countries. This study’s method employs a literature review to inform the survey's outcome, drawing on previous research that each discussed multiple postpartum depression treatments. It was found that there was a difference in each country's income group’s approaches, specifically in the use of antidepressants in high-income countries and more common psychological and psychosocial interventions in low-income countries. However, this does not mean that psychosocial methods are lacking; in fact, some research indicates that this approach is more effective for patients. Therefore, low-income countries should implement psychological and psychosocial interventions more commonly to ensure the prevalence of postpartum depression decreases, as well as to prevent any adverse effects it may have on both mothers and infants.

Abstract

Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, which can be transmitted through various routes. Toxoplasmosis in pregnant women may cause abortion and fetal disabilities. Decreased body immunity due to anemia can increase the risk of toxoplasmosis during pregnancy. The purpose of this study was to identify the characteristics of pregnant women and their association with anemia, determine the prevalence of anemia and toxoplasmosis infection in pregnant women, and investigate whether anemia is a risk factor for toxoplasmosis in pregnant women. This research is an analytical, observational study using a cross-sectional laboratory examination. The sample in this study consisted of blood collected from first- and second-trimester pregnant women at the Kaliwates and Banjarsengon Public Health Centers for hemoglobin analysis and toxoplasmosis serology. Accidental sampling was conducted from July to December 2024. The research data were presented in tabular form and analyzed using the Chi-square test. This study was conducted on 65 pregnant women. The number of pregnant women with anemia was 43% and the number of pregnant women who were positive for toxoplasmosis was 66%. A significant association exists between gestational age and anemia (p-value = 0,041). Bivariate analysis between anemia and T. gondii infection showed no significant association (p-value = 0.182). This study concludes that anemia is not proven to be a risk factor for toxoplasmosis infection in pregnant women. However, the cases of anemia and toxoplasmosis were high and require specific attention.

Abstract

Laryngomalacia is the most common cause of congenital stridor in infants and can lead to feeding difficulties, failure to thrive, and respiratory distress. Diagnosis typically requires flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy, which more often than not, not available in resource-limited settings. We report a 12-day-old male infant who presented to the emergency department with apnea following a choking episode. He required cardiopulmonary resuscitation and was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. Clinical findings included chest retractions, cyanosis, weight loss (from 3500g at birth to 2700g), and feeding difficulties. Chest radiograph showed right-sided perihilar infiltrates consistent with aspiration pneumonia. Despite initial clinical improvement, the infant developed new-onset positional stridor on day ten of hospitalization, particularly when supine. These findings raised strong suspicion of underlying laryngomalacia. These signs raised a strong clinical suspicion of laryngomalacia. Due to absence of flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy, diagnosis could not be confirmed. The infant was stabilised with supportive care and feeding adjustments before being referred to a tertiary center for definitive evaluation and management. This case highlights the importance of prompt recognition and early stabilisation of neonates with aspiration-related complications and suspected airway anomalies, particularly in low-resource settings. Timely referral is essential to prevent deterioration and guide appropriate long-term management.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of eliminating BPJS Health classes and implementing the Standard Inpatient Class (KRIS) in Indonesia, focusing on healthcare access, service quality, financial sustainability, and governance. The policy was introduced to promote social equity and reduce disparities in healthcare delivery. A systematic literature review was conducted using databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus, covering studies published between 2019 and 2024. The selected literature met inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure relevance and quality, and a narrative synthesis was applied to identify major patterns and policy implications.The findings indicate that KRIS can improve fairness in healthcare access and simplify administrative processes. However, significant challenges remain, especially regarding hospital preparedness in less developed regions, where overcrowding, longer waiting times, and potential declines in service quality are likely to occur. The transition from a classbased system to a standardized model also raises financial concerns, particularly about sustainability and equity in funding. In addition, governance weaknesses and limited policy communication have led to uncertainty and public hesitation.Overall, KRIS reflects a progressive step toward healthcare equity but demands careful implementation. Sustainable financing, improved hospital capacity, effective governance, and active public participation are essential for ensuring its success. Future studies should continue exploring financial mechanisms and regional readiness to guide more inclusive and sustainable policy development.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic prompted health authorities to adopt measures to protect the population by curbing the spread of the virus. Given that SARS-CoV-2 is primarily transmitted through close contact with infected droplets, aerosols, or contaminated surfaces, the measures implemented include social distancing, adherence to hand hygiene rules, and vaccination of the population. To assess compliance with anti-COVID-19 barrier measures implemented by dispensing pharmacists after the pandemic, we conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study. The study included 117 dispensing pharmacists, 74% of whom practiced in urban areas. The results of our research show that anti-COVID-19 barrier measures in pharmacies are partially maintained at 74%. The use of glass barriers over countertops is at the top of the list, at 71%, followed by hand disinfection with hydroalcoholic gel after each user visit, at 27%. Other measures, such as the wearing of masks, the presence of a hydroalcoholic gel dispenser at the entrance, limiting the number of users in the pharmacy, as well as the indication of one-way traffic and physical distance lines on the floor, are applied at rates of 1%, 6%, 3% and 4% respectively. Our study also revealed that 45% of dispensing pharmacists support maintaining or extending anti-COVID-19 barrier measures in their pharmacies. It is essential to note that although working in a pharmacy requires close interaction with users, maintaining distancing and hand hygiene measures remains crucial for reducing the risk of infectious disease transmission, thereby promoting a safe and healthy environment for both pharmacy staff and users.

Abstract

To identify risk factors for under-five children with malnutrition, the present study was conducted at two Nutritional Rehabilitation Centers (NRCs) in Uttar Pradesh, India, established to provide facility-based treatment for children affected by Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) and support for their mothers. A facilitybased case-control study was conducted in the Nutritional Rehabilitation centers of Barabanki and Lucknow district hospitals. The research covered all children admitted to these centers between July 1, 2018, and June 30, 2019, aged 1 to 59 months. A pre-tested, semi-structured questionnaire was filled out to collect information on various risk factors. The odds of a child belonging to the SAM category increased significantly if there was lack of toilet facility in the household, improper or absent water purification measures, failure to wash hands with soap and water after defecation, child is devoid of age-appropriate vaccination, has received pre-lacteal feeds, exclusively breast feed for less than 6 months and child was not a recipient of supplement from the Anganwadi Centre (AWC). Interventions within the health system are crucial for addressing the risk factors identified in the study. Since the strongest correlation was found with child feeding habits, programs to combat undernutrition should place a greater emphasis on nutritional education and counseling, as well as providing appropriate guidance.

Abstract

Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) and congenital heart disease (CHD) represent significant global public health challenges, contributing substantially to childhood morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to determine the impact of the community service on CAKUT and CHD early detection conducted by Universitas Airlangga, Surabaya, Indonesia, at Puskesmas Sobo, Banyuwangi Regency. This pre-test post-test design study was conducted among health cadres, parents of students, and the elderly in Puskesmas Sobo District. The subjects' knowledge was assessed by comparing pre- and post-test scores, which included 10 questionnaire questions. We conducted an early detection program for children in grades 4-6 of elementary school, which included weight, height, blood pressure, saturation, heart sound screening, and a complete urine dipstick examination. 62 subjects participated in the community service, with Pre-Test Scores of 62.9±16.5 and Post-Test Scores of 71.7±20.2. There were 25 children examined in our community service, with 100% regular heart examination and 76% with trace proteinuria; systolic blood pressure 90 ± 11.7 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure 59.4 ± 11.6 mmHg. This community service initiative demonstrated its dual impact on enhancing health knowledge and facilitating the early detection of potential congenital abnormalities in children. The findings underscore the critical need for more systematic, comprehensive screening programs for kidney and heart health in children across the region.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that remains a worldwide health concern, with Indonesia having the secondhighest number of cases in the world. Contact investigation is a crucial tool for the early diagnosis and prevention of tuberculosis transmission, and health cadres play a vital role in this process. However, a lack of training reduces their efficiency in discovering instances. This study investigates the impact of IC training on cadre knowledge at the Girisubo Health Center, which had the highest number of TB patients in Gunungkidul in 2022. With most cadres not yet trained, this training will deepen their understanding and support TB case detection. This quasiexperimental study used a One-Group Pretest-Posttest design to investigate the influence of TB contact investigation training on the knowledge of 48 health cadres at the Girisubo Health Center. A validated questionnaire was used to gather data before and after the exam. A paired t-test with a 95% significance level (p<0.05) was used to assess changes in knowledge following training. This study found that TB patient contact investigation education was beneficial for the understanding of health cadres (p-value = 0.000; 95% CI: 2.962-5.643). TB contact investigation education improves cadres’ knowledge at the Girisubo Health Centre. The rise in post-test scores demonstrates the efficacy of lecture, audiovisual, and role-playing modalities. Interactive talks help alleviate boredom and improve comprehension. Continuous assistance is required to optimize the role of cadres in TB detection. tuberculosis contact investigation education was effective in increasing health cadres’knowledge regarding contact investigation.
