Abstract

The nutritional status in the first 1000 days of life is very important. WHO and UNICEF recommend that newborn babies should only be breastfed for at least six months, so that babies can grow and develop optimally. The recommendation has been applied, but the failure of exclusive breastfeeding still occurs. This study aimed to analyze the determinants of exclusive breastfeeding of not working mothers in the work area of Oesapa Public Health Center, Kelapa Lima subdistrict in 2019. This is a quantitative study with cross-sectional study design. This research was conducted in the work area of Oesapa Public Health Center with a sample of 61 babies. Data analysis used the Chi-Square test and multiple logistic regression tests. The results showed that the variables of mother’s knowledge (ρ= 0,001), mother’s trust (ρ= 0,024), family’s support (ρ= 0,000), and health care provider’s support (ρ= 0,028) are related to exclusive breastfeeding, but mothers’ age (ρ= 0.257) and information exposure (ρ= 1,000) are not related to exclusive breastfeeding. The factor of family’s support (ρ= 0,001) and mother’s knowledge (ρ= 0,005) had the highest correlation with exclusive breastfeeding. The mothers' level of knowledge also had a major contribution to the success of exclusive breastfeeding. To achieve exclusive breastfeeding success, mothers need support from the family (especially husband) and complete information from health workers so the mothers’ knowledge can be improved. The health centers need to utilize various health promotion media to increase the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding.

This is quantitative research with a cross-sectional study design. The sample of this research is 99 people by using an accidental sampling technique. Data collection used questionnaires of expectations and service performance 32 items each. The analysis conducted is univariate using Importance Performance Analysis. The results indicate that service quality on tangible dimensions is 96.37% (very qualified), reliability 96.13% (very qualified), responsiveness 97.06% (very qualified), assurance 97.57% (very qualified), and empathy 97.66% (very qualified).

Abstract

Tuberculosis is one of the top 10 leading causes of death in the world. In 2017 an estimated 10.4 million people suffered from TB and 1.3 million people died of the disease. TB is a disease based on the region that has a spatial dependence (correlation between geographic regions), therefore its restraint must also consider the spatial distribution patterns of the case that can be learned through spatial analysis. The purpose of this research was to analyze spatially the distribution of BTA positive pulmonary TB cases based on population density, coverage of healthy houses, altitude, and the number of poor families in Kota Kupang 2018. The type of research used in this study was quantitative descriptive with Geographic Information System (GIS) approach. The sample in this study consisted of all new cases of BTA positive pulmonary TB in 2018 amounted to 451 cases. Spatial analysis showed that the BTA positive pulmonary TB cases distributed to spread the subdistricts in Kota Kupang which was a region of low altitude (<150 masl) with the highest distribution in the areas with high population density, high coverage of the healthy house, and the high number of poor families. It calls for networking between the government and the community in the prevention of BTA positive pulmonary TB.

This is a pre-experimental design, with a one group pre-test and post-test design research design. This design does not have a comparison group, but at least a first observation (pre-test) has been made which allows testing of changes that occur after the experiment. The sampling technique used in this study was the purposive sampling technique, and the sample size is 51 students. The results of the analysis using the Wilcoxon statistical test showed that the animated video was effective to increase knowledge about dental health with a significance value (ρ) 0.00 <(α) 0.05. Animated video media can be used as an outreach technique about maintaining dental health in elementary school-aged children.
