Abstract

Background: Infant mortality is one of the priority problems in the field of maternal and child health in Indonesia until now. All health issues in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's) are integrated into goal number 3. In the city of Surabaya, the total number of infant deaths has shown a decreased trend in the last 3 years, but in the number of infant deaths, including deaths within the neonatal period, the number continued to increase during 2018-2020. The target of neonatal visits in the working area of Puskesmas X Surabaya is one of the causes of the infant mortality rate during the neonatal period in the city of Surabaya having increased in 2018-2019, especially in the working area of Puskesmas X Surabaya which makes the Puskesmas rank second in the number of neonatal deaths in Surabaya in 2019. Objectives: To analyze factors related to the use of neonatal services in the working area of Puskesmas X Surabaya. Methods: This type of research was an analytical observational study with a quantitative approach. The design of this research used cross-sectional studies. The sampling technique used in this study was probability sampling. Results: From the research conducted, it was shown that there was no significant relationship between family resource and community resource with the use of neonatal services by  mothers of infants, judging from statistical tests using the Chi-square test, the p-value obtained was more than α=0,05. Conclusions: The enabling characteristics of the baby's mother, such as insurance ownership, family income, husband support, family support, health worker support, and accessibility, were not related to the use of neonatal services by the baby's mother in the work area of Puskesmas X Surabaya.

Abstract

Background: The rapid growth of e-commerce in Indonesia has increased the demand for delivery services, primarily from online buyers and sellers. This surge elevates couriers' workload, leading to prolonged work hours and unstable conditions (extreme weather exposure, and inconsistent delivery targets), which contribute to stress. Persistent work stress negatively affects productivity, quality of life, and physical and mental health. Objectives: To analyze the relationship between workload and job stress in couriers, and determine the relationship between external and internal factors of work stress in couriers. Methods: This study employed a literature review method, utilizing national and international articles that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The selected journal articles were from research published in the last five years (2020-2025) and were sourced from databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. The data search strategy applied the PICO method (Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcomes) using keywords combined with Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) to refine or expand the search. Results: The results of data search through the screening stage found a total of seven articles, namely four national articles and three international articles. The results of the search for these seven articles prove that as many as 85.7% indicate a relationship between workload and work stress in couriers. Conclusions: Based on the comparative analysis of the number of articles found and selected, there is a relationship between workload and work stress in couriers. External factors of high work demands with long working hours can cause work stress which can interfere with workers' work.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia still faces quite serious nutritional problems, especially in children, because the first five years of a child's life are very vulnerable to nutritional problems. Therefore, balanced nutritional needs for toddlers must be met properly. Nutritional problems that arise are always related to food intake factors in children. If balanced nutritional needs in toddlers are not met properly, they can experience nutritional disorders such as malnutrition. Objectives: To analyze the effect of nutritional assistance on the knowledge of mothers of toddlers, the level of energy consumption, zinc, and vitamin C of wasting toddlers. Methods: This study is a quasi-experimental study targeting toddlers aged 12 to 59 months. Respondents were taken using the non-probability sampling method, namely total sampling. The data collected included the knowledge of mothers of toddlers taken with a questionnaire, the level of energy consumption, zinc, and vitamin C obtained by filling out the 24-Hour Food Recall form. The study was conducted by providing intervention in the form of nutritional assistance three times within three weeks. Data analysis tests used the paired t test, Wilcoxon signed rank, independent t-test, Mann Whitney U test. Results: Nutritional assistance on the knowledge of mothers of toddlers before and after in the treatment group (p=0.003) had a more significant effect than in the control group (p=0.011). Then the level of consumption before and after in the treatment group also had a significant effect, namely energy (p<0.001), zinc (p=0.006), and vitamin C (p=0.004). However, the level of consumption before and after in the control group did not have a significant effect, namely energy (p=0.583), zinc (p=0.366), and vitamin C (p=0.534). Conclusion: Nutritional assistance can affect the knowledge of mothers of toddlers, consumption of energy, zinc, and vitamin C of toddlers before and after the intervention in the treatment group. Meanwhile, in the control group it only affected the knowledge of mothers of toddlers.

Abstract

Background: Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) during adolescence can have serious long-term consequences, not only compromising individual health but also increasing the risk of complications during future pregnancies. Local food sources such as moringa oleifera leaves offer a promising strategy to address this issue, given their high iron content. Developing practical, acceptable forms such as cookies and capsules may provide holistic solutions for improving hemoglobin levels. Although both preparations have been shown to significantly enhance hemoglobin levels within the same intervention period, differences in their composition, production methods, and potential iron bioavailability warrant further comparison. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of moringa-based cookies and capsules in improving hemoglobin levels among adolescent girls diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia. Method: A quasi-experimental study was conducted in 2024 among 53 female high school students selected through purposive sampling. Hemoglobin concentrations were measured using the Easy Touch GCHb device. Paired t-tests were used to assess changes within each group, and independent t-tests were applied to compare outcomes between groups. Results: The study proved that the mean hemoglobin level in the moringa cookies group increased to 12.52 g/dL (p=0.002), while the capsule group showed an increase to 12.20 g/dL (p=0.001). However, no significant difference was observed between the two interventions (p=0.412). Conclusion: Both moringa cookies and capsules effectively improved hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls with iron deficiency anemia. Nevertheless, there was no significant difference in the extent of improvement between the two forms of supplementation.

Abstract

Background: According to Basic Health Research (RISKESDAS) 2018, obesity prevalence in Jakarta is higher among women. In adolescent girls, obesity can persist into adulthood, causing reproductive issues. The factors contributing to obesity include energy and fat intake, body image perception, and physical activity. Objectives: This study analyzes the relationship between energy intake, fat intake, physical activity, and body image with obesity. Methods: This study is quantitative research with a cross-sectional design. The research was conducted at SMAN 98 Jakarta and SMAN 105 Jakarta, involving 108 female students aged 15-18 years from April to May 2024. Data were collected using stratified random sampling and analyzed using Spearman Rank for non-normally distributed variables and Pearson for normally distributed variables. Obesity variables were measured using BMI for age (BMI/A) and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis; energy and fat intake were assessed using a 24-hour food recall instrument; body image was measured using the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire Appearance Scales. Results: The correlation between energy and fat intake with obesity showed coefficients of r=0.035 (p=0.722) and r=0.074 (p=0.448) for body fat percentage, and r=-0.016 (p=0.869) and r=-0.034 (p=0.726) for BAZ. Physical activity correlated with obesity at r=0.197 (p=0.041) for body fat percentage and r=0.156 (p=0.107) for BAZ. Body image correlated with obesity at r=0.291 (p=0.002) for body fat percentage and r=0.309 (p=0.001) for BAZ. Conclusion: The variables significantly associated with the occurrence of obesity are physical activity (when measured using body fat percentage) and body image. Meanwhile, the variables not associated with the occurrence of obesity are physical activity when measured by Body Mass Index for age (BMI for age), energy intake, and fat intake.

Abstract

Background: Exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of an infant's life and appropriate complementary feeding are essential for child growth and development. However, the low knowledge and attitudes of mothers and caregivers on Gili Iyang Island pose a challenge in achieving optimal infant feeding practices. Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of emo-demo in improving knowledge and attitudes regarding exclusive breastfeeding and appropriate complementary feeding in Gili Iyang Island. Methods: This pilot study used a pre-test-post-test design with two post-intervention measurements. Respondents consisted of 20 pregnant women and 16 caregivers. The sample was taken by total sampling. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Results: The analysis showed a significant increase in the knowledge score of pregnant women after (p=0.008) and 30 days after the emo-demo activity (p=0.008). However, there was no significant change in maternal attitude (p=0.417). In the caregiver, there was a significant increase in knowledge after (p=0.003) and 30 days after the activity (p=0.003) and in the attitude of the caregivers 30 days after the activity (p=0.013). Conclusion: Emo-demo is effective in improving the knowledge of pregnant women and their caregivers regarding exclusive breastfeeding and appropriate complementary feeding. However, the effect on participants' attitudes requires additional approaches for more optimal results.
