Abstract

One indicator of an individual's wellbeing is related to the nutritional status. The status is influenced by consumption patterns that can be determined by family conditions. Good nutritional status has a positive impact on learning achievement. The purpose of this study is to find whether there is a link between consumption pattern, nutritional status, and family characteristics on academic achievement. This research used an analytical survey method with a cross-sectional study design. The sample consisted of 118 children in grades 4 and 5 at SD Inpres Mokdale, Rote Ndao District, East Nusa Tenggara. Data analysis used the chi-square test with α=0,05. The results showed that there was no influence between parental education, parental work, family size and expenses on students' learning achievement. Consumption patterns and nutritional status also had no influence on the achievement. This research suggested that learning achievement can be influenced by other factors besides biological and family factors such as psychological factors, school environment, and the community support around the children.

Abstract

Maternal mortality ratio (MMR) is one of the problems that has made the focus of the Indonesian government to make policies in the health sector. The main factor causing high MMR is unsafe delivery, either not assisted by health workers or was not in health facilities. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between knowledge, attitudes, husband/family support, and the use of health service facilities in the working area of the Mangili Community Health Center. This cross-sectional study consisted of 104 respondents selected using a cluster sampling technique. The data were analyzed univariably and bivariably using the Chi-square test. The results showed that knowledge (p = 0.040), attitude (p = 0.043), and husband/family support (p = 0.027) are related to the use of health service facilities. Health workers, especially midwives, are expected to monitor and do home visits and provide intensive education to pregnant women and their families to ensure childbirth in health care facilities. On the other hand, the role of the husband/family needs to be optimized to support the mother through motivation, attention, and assistance during pregnancy examinations until delivery.
