Abstract

Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) is a condition where a mother experiences a prolonged and continuous lack of food intake (chronic), leading to health problems. The primary factor contributing to the risk of CED in pregnant women is insufficient food consumption. This study aims to examine the relationship between dietary patterns and the occurrence of CED among pregnant women in the working area of Kawangu Public Health Center, East Sumba Regency. The research method used was analytic observation with a case-control design. The study population consisted of 40 cases and 260 controls, with a sample size of 60 pregnant women (30 cases and 30 controls). Sampling was conducted using simple random sampling, and bivariate analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed a significant relationship between dietary patterns and the occurrence of CED in pregnant women. Pregnant women with poor dietary patterns had a lower risk of experiencing CED (p=0.000, OR=0.091). Additionally, inadequate meal frequency was also associated with CED (p=0.000, OR=0.026), as was insufficient energy intake (p=0.000, OR=0.014). However, variables such as food type and protein intake did not show a significant relationship with CED. This study recommends that pregnant women receive health education through prenatal classes to improve dietary quality, ensuring that their energy, carbohydrate, protein, vitamin, and mineral needs are adequately met.

Abstract

Exclusive breast milk is the process of providing breast milk within 6 months without any drinks or additional food for babies. Breastfeeding is exclusively beneficial in maintaining the health of the baby. Lack of breast milk intake causes unbalanced infant nutrition. The problem is that exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia and the Oebobo Health Center have not reached the target. This research aims to find out what factors are related to exclusive breastfeeding at the Oebobo Health Center in 2023. This research is an analytical survey, with a cross sectional research design. The population in this study is mothers who have babies 6-7 months at the Oebobo Health Center. The sampenyal collection technique is simple random sampling and the number of sampenyal is 52 people. The data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate with chi square test. The results showed that there was a relationship between knowledge (ρ=0.002), attitude (ρ=0.002), work (ρ=0.003), family support (ρ=0.001), and health worker support (ρ=0.001). Health workers should provide a good explanation regarding exclusive breastfeeding to mothers and mothers' families since the mother checked for pregnancy, increase the frequency of counseling by utilizing various health promotion media, and guidance on breastfeeding counseling. It is hoped that mothers should also visit health facilities more regularly so that they can get information or counseling related to exclusive breastfeeding. Working mothers can seek exclusive breastfeeding by sucking milk before going to work.

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic malnutrition problem caused by inadequate nutritional intake over a prolonged period due to improper feeding practices that do not meet nutritional needs. The percentage of stunted children at the Tarus Health Center has increased every year from 2019 to 2022. This study aims to determine the socioeconomic factors associated with stunting among children under five in the working area of Tarus Health Center, Kupang Regency. This type of research is an analytical survey with a case-control study design. The sample consisted of 36 cases and 36 controls, selected using probability sampling techniques. Data collection was carried out through observation and structured interviews using questionnaires. Data analysis included univariate and bivariate analysis using the chi-square test. The results showed that the factors associated with stunting were family income (p-value = 0.023) and history of infectious diseases (p-value = 0.001), while factors not associated were maternal education (p-value = 0.617) and maternal occupation (p-value = 0.629). Based on these findings, it is expected that health workers provide education on proper dietary practices by utilizing local resources, and the government should also create adequate job opportunities so that human resources can improve, thereby reducing stunting rates in families.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused stress at various levels of society. Concern and fear of this virus triggers a negative stigma, especially towards infected individuals, including the families of patients who died from COVID-19. This stigma can have a significant impact on the mental health of the family left behind. This study aims to analyze the effect of social exclusion on the mental health of families of COVID-19 patients who died in Kupang City. This study used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design and involved 95 respondents. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed by simple linear regression. The results of this study show that social exclusion has a significant influence on the mental health of families of COVID-19 victims in Kupang. Based on simple linear regression analysis, a determination coefficient (R²) of 0.310 was obtained, which means that social exclusion contributed 31.0% in influencing mental health. Meanwhile, the remaining 69.0% were influenced by other factors not examined in the study, such as economic factors, social support, and the individual's psychological condition before experiencing social exclusion. Thus, this study confirms that social exclusion is a factor that affects the mental health of the families of COVID-19 patients who died. Therefore, more attention is needed from various parties to support individuals who experience social exclusion in order to maintain their mental well-being.

Data analysis was carried out qualitatively based on information obtained from in-depth interviews with informants. The results of the study showed that the pattern of feeding, personal hygiene, and health services among poor families was good. Families were able to provide and regulate a variety of nutritious foods for toddlers by choosing nutritious foods that were easily accessible to mothers of toddlers. Families also always pay attention to personal hygiene and health services for toddlers, thus supporting their nutritional status. Cadres and health workers play a role in monitoring the nutritional status of toddlers, providing counseling on nutrition, and dealing with nutritional problems. Positive deviance behavior needs to be socialized to the community through family empowerment and various experiences between families that show positive deviance, with support from the local health service and community health centers to improve health levels.

Abstract

Stunting is a condition of impaired growth and development in children under five years of age due to chronic malnutrition and recurrent infections, especially during the first 1,000 days of life, from conception until the child is 23 months old. A child is classified as experiencing growth faltering when their height is below minus two standard deviations from the median height of children of the same age. This condition usually becomes apparent at around two years of age, and its impacts are irreversible. This research uses a descriptive study design with a survey method. The population includes all mothers in Bello Sub-District who have undernourished toddlers aged 2 to 5 years (more than 24 months up to 59 months). Samples were taken using an accidental sampling method. The findings indicate that maternal parenting patterns for undernourished toddlers are generally good. However, improvements are still needed in certain areas such as feeding practices ensuring balanced meal composition and avoiding coercive feeding and in environmental sanitation, particularly the condition of open wastewater drainage systems.
