Abstract

Cassava starch extract and sea urchin gonads can be used as ingredients for making various kinds of food formulas. This study is expected to be able to develop cassava starch extract as a formula for making bagea added with sea urchin gonads which are rich in nutrients to make it good for pregnant women. This study was aimed at analyzing the effect of the provision of bagea enriched by sea urchin gonads on weight gain in toddlers of the Bajo community. In making the formula of bagea, the researchers used a quasi-experimental design. After the data were collected, they were then checked for feasibility, coded, and reduced. Furthermore, data were presented in tabular form, showing percentage and frequency, and analyzed using statistical tests. Consuming bagea enriched with sea urchin gonads has an effective effect on weight gain in toddlers of the Bajo tribe (p = 0.000). Furthermore, the provision of additional food from a government program (in form of biscuits) has also an effect on weight gain in toddlers of the Bajo tribe (p = 0.000). Apart from that, the researcher also found a difference between the consumption of bagea enriched with sea urchin gonads and the provision of additional food (biscuits) from the government program on weight gain in toddlers of the Bajo tribe (p = 0.000). Therefore, the proposed suggestion for health workers (nutrition improvement programmers) is that they should use bagea as one of the additional feeding interventions to improve nutritional status (weight gain) in toddlers.

Abstract

AbstractPoor comp lementary feeding practices can lead to malnutrition in infants and young children . Minimum dietary diversity (MDD) is one of the determinants of children’s nutritional status and has been found to predict stunting. This study examined factors associated with MDD achievement among breastfed children aged 6-23 months based on Indonesia’s Demographic and Health Survey 2017. This study us ed chi-square and multiple logistic regression to analyze the data. Among 2,976 children only around 53% children met MDD recommendation. Multivariate analysis found that the diversity of diet is better among older children than younger children. Children aged 18-23 months have possibility of 5.7 times higher to achieve MDD than children aged 6-11 months and 1.3 times higher than children aged 12-17 months . Children of wealthier family (3 rd quintile and above), those delivered by trained healt h personnel, children of higher mothers’ education, working mothers, fathers’ involve in child care , ANC visit >= 4 times, and parents reside in u rban areas have possibility of having higher MDD achievement significantly than the other groups . The low MDD achievement among children aged 6-11 months warrant the importance of prioritizing effort on this age group because this is a period where a child grows rapidly and potentially expose to infection as a result of un -hygienic food preparation , and will affect the child’s growth later on .AbstrakPraktik MP-ASI yang buruk dapat menyebabkan kekurangan gizi pada anak -anak.a Ragam Asupan Minimal ( MDD) merupakan salah satu penentu status gizi anak dan dapat memprediksi terjadinya stunting . Penelitian ini membahas mengenai faktor -faktor yang berhubungan dengan capaian MDD pada anak yang diberi ASI usia 6 -23 bulan berdasarkan data SDKI tahun 2017 . Penelitian ini menggunakan uji Chi -square dan uji regresi logistik ganda untuk menganalisis data. Dari 2 ,976 anak usia 6 -23 bulan yang diberi ASI di Indonesia tahun 201 7, h anya sekitar 5 3 % anak yang telah mencapai MDD. Hasil analisis multivariat menunjukkan ba hwa capaian MDD lebih baik pada anak yang berusia lebih tua. Anak umur 18 -23 bulan mempunyai kemungkinan sebesar 5.7 kalinya untuk mencapai MDD dan anak umur 12 -17 bulan sebesar 1.3 kalinya, dibandingkan dengan bayi umur 6 -11 bulan. Anak yan g berasal da ri keluarga lebih mampu (kuintil 3 atau lebih), yg lahir ditolong tenaga kesehatan terlatih, anak dari ibu yang berpendidikan lebih tinggi, ibu yang bekerja, ayah yang berperan dalam mengurus anak, ibu yang melakukan kunjungan ANC > 4 kali dan orang tua t inggal di perkotaan, mempunyai kemungk inan lebih besar secara bermakna untuk mencapai MDD sesuai anjuran . Rendanhya capaian MDD pada bayi 6 -11 bulan menunjukkan pentingnya memberikan perhatian pada kelopmpok ini karena merupakan kelompok yang masih tumbuh dengan cepat dan mulai terpapar dengan kemungkinan terjadiya infeksi akibat penyiapan makanan yang tidak hygienis, dan akan berpengaruh terhadap pertumbuhan selanjutnya .

Abstract

AbstractThis study aims to discover the prevalence of stunting and determine the associations between the history of pulmonary tuberculosis disease with the prevalence of stunting among children under five years of age (6-59 months) in Babakan Madang Sub-District, Bogor District 2019. This study uses a cross-sectional design with a quantitative approach. The sample in this research was 194 children under five obtained by cluster sampling. Data collection was conducted through May 2019. The data collection process includes anthropometric measurements using calibrated microtoise and digital length board, dietary assessment using 1 x 24-h food recall, and a self-administered questionnaire. Data analyses were performed using the chi-square test and independent t-test. The result of this study shows that 35.6% of children under five are being stunted (HAZ ≤ -2.00). The risk factor with a significant correlation with stunting is history of pulmonary tuberculosis disease (p-value 0.044), although careful interpretation is needed in this result due to the limited number of observed cases. However, this study recommends pulmonary tuberculosis disease prevention and improve nutritional education. Keywords: stunting, children under-five, pulmonary tuberculosis disease AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui besaran prevalensi stunting dan membuktikan hubungan antara riwayat penyakit TB paru serta faktor lainnya dengan kejadian stunting pada balita umur 6-59 bulan di Kecamatan Babakan Madang Kabupaten Bogor Tahun 2019.

Abstract

AbstractWith a high prevalence of hypertension (25.8% in 2013 and 34.1% in 2018), Indonesia currently deals with a tremendous health economic burden with the implementation of National Health Insurance (JKN).  Hypertension is known to lead to severe complications and productivity loss. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of health and nutrition education on blood pressure knowledge and compliance among hypertension patients. The study was conducted over a period of 6 months in Bogor District.  A total of 179 patients (64%) completed the study (intervention n = 88, control n = 91). Compared to the control group, patients in the intervention group showed a significant improvement of knowledge and compliance (p < 0.001), yet no significant difference of blood pressure was observed. However, there was a significant mean reduction of systolic and diastolic blood pressure between baseline and end-line by around 17mmHg and 8 mmHg, respectively by the intervention group. In conclusion, health education over 6 months was related to significant improvement in blood pressure knowledge and compliance of hypertension patients. Keywords: hypertension patients, health and nutrition education, blood pressure, knowledge, compliance AbstrakDengan tingginya prevalensi hipertensi (25.8% dan 34.1% pada tahun 2013 dan 2018), Indonesia saat ini menghadapi beban ekonomi Kesehatan yang besar dengan diimplementasikannya Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN). Hal ini disebabkan hipertensi dapat menyebabkan beragam komplikasi kesehatan yang serius dan penurunan produktivitas. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh edukasi gizi dan kesehatan terhadap pengetahuan, kepatuhan, dan tekanan darah pasien hipertensi selama 6 bulan pada sebanyak 179 pasien (64%) yang berhasil menyelesaikan rangkaian studi ini (jumlah subjek pada kelompok intervensi = 88 dan jumlah subyek kelompok kontrol = 91). Dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol, penderita hipertensi pada kelompok intervensi menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan dan kepatuhan yang signifikan (p<0.001), meski tidak ditemukan perbedaan tekanan darah antara kedua kelompok. Meskipun demikian, studi ini menunjukkan adanya penurunan tekanan darah sistolik dan diastolik antara baseline dan endline masing-masing berkisar 17 mmHg dan 8 mmHg. Sebagai kesimpulan, edukasi kesehatan berkaitan dengan peningkatan pengetahuan dan kepatuhan pasien yang signifikan, meski dibutuhkan waktu yang lebih panjang untuk mengobservasi perbedaan tekanan darah antara kedua kelompok.  Kata Kunci: Hipertensi, edukasi gizi dan kesehatan, tekanan darah, pengetahuan, kepatuhan
