Abstract

Toilet training is a key developmental milestone in preschool-aged children, influenced by physical, psychological, and social factors. Poor parenting style, poor parental knowledge, and not good cultural and environmental factors play a significant role in the success of toilet training, with educational interventions shown to improve outcomes. This study aims to examine the relationship between parenting style and the success of toilet training among preschool-aged children (2–6 years). This cross-sectional quantitative study examined the relationship between parenting style and toilet training success among 50 parents of preschool-aged children (2–6 years) at UPT Majasem Community Health Center, Cirebon City, Indonesia, with the relatively small sample size noted as a limitation to generalizability. Data were collected via a validated and reliable structured questionnaire, and ethical approval was obtained from the Research Ethics Committee of Institut Teknologi dan Kesehatan Mahardika, with informed consent and confidentiality ensured for all participants. The findings of this study showed that most parents demonstrated a good parenting style (66%), and the majority of children achieved successful toilet training (80%). A significant association was found between parenting style and toilet training success (p = 0.009, Cramer’s V = 0.36), indicating a moderate relationship, with children of parents practicing a poor parenting style showing higher success rates (100%) than those with a good parenting style (69.7%). In sum, parenting style significantly affects toilet training success in preschool children, and culturally sensitive parental education is recommended to improve training outcomes and child well-being.

Abstract

Indonesia has the fourth-largest population in the world. Uncontrolled population growth can decrease the health status and quality of life of the population. Therefore, the government has an obligation to control the rate of population growth. One way to manage population growth is through family planning programs and the use of contraceptives by couples of reproductive age. The aim of this program is to regulate the number of births and control birth spacing. Hence, couples of reproductive age need to select appropriate contraceptive methods in order to help control population growth effectively. This study aims to examine the factors that influence couples of reproductive age in choosing contraceptive methods. The researcher used a literature review method. Relevant literature was collected from Google Scholar, comprising 10 articles published between 2020 and 2023, following the PRISMA framework. The results of the study show that there are both direct and indirect factors influencing contraceptive method selection. The direct influencing factor is the husband's support, while the indirect factors include health education and counseling, as well as the level of knowledge of couples regarding contraceptive use. It can be concluded that couples of reproductive age tend to choose appropriate contraceptive methods due to the support from their husbands, exposure to health education or having received counseling from healthcare providers, and having adequate knowledge or access to information about contraceptive tools.

Abstract

Commercial dishwashing liquids contain chemicals that are extremely toxic to humans and the environment, hence alternative dishwashing using natural compounds is urgent. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a combination formula of rice straw ash and Ziziphus mauritiana leaf extract (JEBI) in reducing germs colonies per food equipment. This experimental study has a pre-post-test design with a control group. The variations of the JEBI combination used are 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 2:1, and 3:1. Another treatment is using a commercial dishwasher brand "X" and only running water. A total of 210 cutleries (plates and bowls) from 30 restaurants in six districts were taken randomly—calculation of bacterial colonies using the Total Plate Count Agar method. The results were analyzed using one-way ANOVA to compare the effect between treatment groups on germ counts. Overall, a significant difference between the JEBI combination and the number of germs on food equipment was present in this study (p<0.001). The 1:3 JEBI ratio reduced the highest number of germs (average 24.6 colonies/cm2), slightly better than using "X" dishwashing liquid (average 25.6 colonies/cm2). Additionally, all treatments gave a significant reduction of germs compared to washed cutleries without any disinfectant (p<0.001). These findings strengthen the potential disinfectant function of rice straw ash and Ziziphus mauritiana leaf extract (JEBI) against germs on cutleries. Further studies with different ratio formulas and better study designs are required to obtain better and more precise results.

Abstract

Daily prenatal care plays an essential role in maintaining maternal and fetal health and preventing pregnancy complications. However, its implementation remains suboptimal due to several influencing factors. This study aimed to examine the relationship between maternal age, education level, parity, and family support with daily prenatal care practices. A cross-sectional study was conducted from May to June 2024 at Berangas Public Health Center, involving 74 pregnant women selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation test. The research study shows that the majority of respondents were aged 20–35 years (86.5%), had education equivalent to senior high school or higher (56.8%), were in the at-risk parity group with 0, 1, and 3 live births (82.4%), and received adequate family support (82.4%). A total of 70.3% of respondents demonstrated good daily prenatal care practices. Significant positive correlations were found between age (ρ = 0.435, p < 0.001), education (ρ = 0.506, p < 0.001), and family support (ρ = 0.321, p = 0.005), while parity showed a significant negative correlation (ρ = –0.321, p = 0.005). These findings indicate that maternal education and family support are key factors influencing daily prenatal care behavior.

Abstract

Anemia is a prevalent health issue among adolescent girls, particularly during puberty, when iron requirements increase due to growth and menstruation. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between adolescent characteristics, knowledge levels, and the incidence of anemia among female students at SMP NU Jawilan, Serang Regency. Using a quantitative analytic design with a cross-sectional approach, data were collected from 57 students through questionnaires and hemoglobin measurements using a Hemocue device. The variables examined included knowledge level, menstrual cycle, menstruation duration, nutritional status, dietary patterns, and sleep patterns. Chi-Square tests revealed significant relationships between all variables and the incidence of anemia, with p-values less than 0.05. The findings indicate that inadequate knowledge, irregular or prolonged menstruation, poor nutritional status, unhealthy diets, and poor sleep habits are strongly associated with anemia among adolescent girls. These results highlight the need for targeted health education, nutritional interventions, and lifestyle improvements to reduce anemia prevalence in this population. School-based programs involving health workers, teachers, and parents are essential to foster better health behaviors and prevent anemia during adolescence.

Abstract

The increasing awareness of the ideal body shape among adolescents, driven by the influence of social media and social pressure, has led many teenage girls to follow specific diet trends despite lacking a thorough understanding of their nutritional needs and the long-term health implications. This study aims to identify the preferred diet trends among teenage girls and to examine their dietary patterns and motivations for dieting, with a focus on female students at SMPN 11 Gorontalo. The research employs a descriptive quantitative approach, with data collected through closed-ended questionnaires distributed to 30 female students in grades VIII and IX who reported having been on or currently being on a diet. The data were analyzed descriptively using percentages and presented in tables and graphs. The results show that the most commonly chosen diet among respondents is the low-carbohydrate diet (36.7%), followed by intermittent fasting (26.7%), portion reduction diets (20%), and vegetarian/vegan diets (10%). Their dietary patterns generally tend to restrict staple food intake and replace it with high-protein foods or fruits. However, this is not always accompanied by an understanding of balanced nutrition. The primary motivations for dieting were the desire to lose weight (43.3%), the influence of social media (30%), and peer encouragement (16.7%). Most respondents obtained their diet-related information from social media, while only a small proportion received information from parents or teachers. These findings suggest that external factors have a greater influence on adolescents' diet preferences than rational health considerations. Therefore, more structured and contextually relevant nutrition education efforts are needed within the school environment to help teenage girls develop healthy, balanced eating habits appropriate to their stage of growth.

Abstract

Gestational diabetes is a glucose intolerance disorder that arises during pregnancy and is one of the most common obstetric complications globally. Its increasing prevalence is closely linked to high rates of obesity, unhealthy dietary patterns, physical inactivity, and advanced maternal age, particularly in developing countries like Indonesia, which still face limitations in screening and maternal healthcare services. This condition has both short-term and long-term impacts, including an increased risk of type 2 diabetes in both mothers and their children. This article presents a systematic literature review of preventive and therapeutic strategies for managing gestational diabetes, evaluating their effectiveness and potential for implementation. The method employed is a qualitative descriptive literature review, based on scientific articles from the past decade, obtained from databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Garuda. The review findings indicate that the most effective preventive strategy is lifestyle modification, such as adopting a healthy diet and engaging in light physical activity, especially when implemented early in pregnancy or even before conception, which can reduce the risk of gestational diabetes by up to 25%. Therapeutic strategies include medical nutrition therapy, the use of insulin or metformin, self-monitoring of blood glucose, as well as education and psychosocial support. The use of digital technologies, including mobile applications and telehealth services, has also been shown to improve patient adherence and engagement. A holistic approach that integrates both preventive and therapeutic efforts continuously is considered the most effective in reducing complications and long-term risks. However, challenges such as limited access to healthcare services, low health literacy, and a shortage of trained healthcare personnel remain obstacles in Indonesia. Therefore, cross-sector collaboration among healthcare professionals, families, and policymakers is crucial to optimize the contextual and sustainable management of gestational diabetes.

Abstract

Based on the 2018 Basic Health Research (Riskesdas), 93% of preschool-aged children in Indonesia experience dental caries, indicating the crucial role of parents in establishing oral health habits from an early age. This study aimed to determine the relationship between caregiving factors and dental caries in children. An analytic cross-sectional survey design was used, conducted at the Posyandu in Sekip Lama Village under UPT Puskesmas Singkawang Tengah I, with a population of 84 participants selected through a total sampling technique. Research instruments included a caregiving behavior questionnaire, the child’s age, the number of the child’s teeth, the caregiver’s educational background and occupation, as well as the caries index; data were analyzed using the Spearman correlation test. The results showed that most parents had caregiving behavior in the adequate category (69.3%), with an average behavior score of 18.71 ± 4.5; children had an average dmf-t index of 6.08 ± 4.9, at ages 12–60 months, and an average number of teeth of 17 ± 4.5. The Spearman test revealed a significant relationship between the severity of dental caries and the child’s age, the number of teeth, the caregiver’s educational level, and caregiving behavior (p < 0.05). It can be concluded that caregiving factors play an important role in children’s oral health conditions, and parents are encouraged to be more proactive in fostering good oral hygiene habits from an early age.
