Abstract

The nutritional status of toddlers is a critical indicator of sustainable human development. Disparities between urban and rural areas remain a major challenge for equitable child health in Indonesia. This study analyzed socio-economic and environmental factors' influence on toddlers' nutritional status, comparing urban and rural areas. A comparative survey design was used, with 60 respondents - 30 toddlers each from urban and rural areas. Data collection included socio-economic questionnaires, environmental checklists, and WHO Z-score anthropometric measurements. Data were analyzed using regression tests and t-tests. Nutritional status (Z-scores) was significantly better in urban children (1.1 ± 0.3) than rural children (0.5 ± 0.4), (p = 0.000), indicating socioeconomic and environmental disparities between populations. Family income shows the strongest correlation with nutritional status (r = 0.632, p < 0.01) and dominates the multivariate model. Mother's education has a moderate correlation (r = 0.486, p < 0.05), as does environmental score (r = 0.458, p < 0.01), which is dominant in the multivariate context. These findings suggest socioeconomic conditions and environmental quality influence child nutritional outcomes, with income and sanitation being most impactful. The study concludes that toddler nutritional status is determined by interrelated socio-economic and environmental factors varying between urban and rural contexts. These findings underscore the need for region-specific interventions and multi-sectoral policies responsive to local needs.

Abstract

Adolescents are a population group vulnerable to various reproductive health risks due to limited access to accurate sexual health information and youth-friendly services. This study aims to explore the role of adolescent health services in promoting sexual health among adolescents. Using a narrative literature-policy review, the analysis was based on current literature and policy reviews regarding adolescent health promotion in Indonesia. The findings indicate that adolescent health services play a significant role in increasing awareness, knowledge, and preventive behaviors related to sexual and reproductive health. Key strategies include the provision of youth-friendly service facilities, health education using appropriate media, and peer counseling. However, various challenges such as lack of trained personnel, stigma in society, and limited adolescent participation hinder service effectiveness. This study emphasizes that in Indonesia, the need for multi-sector collaboration, improvement of health personnel competence, and the involvement of adolescents in the design of educational programs. Strengthening the capacity and accessibility of adolescent health services is crucial in Indonesia to improving the overall sexual health status of adolescents and preventing reproductive health problems at an early age.

Abstract

Banggai yam (Dioscorea alata), a local tuber cultivated in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, is known for its rich nutritional content, including complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, essential vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds such as anthocyanins and polyphenols. Although its nutritional potential has been well documented, its consumption safety, especially in processed forms such as powdered extract, requires toxicological validation. This study aimed to evaluate the acute oral toxicity of Banggai yam powdered extract using a murine model. This study had three treatment groups that received Banggai yam flour extract at different doses (1.95 g, 3.906 g, and 5.9 g) and one control group that received 1% CMC Na. Observations and measurements were analyzed using independent sample t-tests through SPSS software. The analysis did not show statistically significant differences between the treatment and control groups, with p-values of 0.55, 0.97, and 0.85, respectively. These findings indicate that Banggai yam extract does not produce acute toxic effects at the dose levels tested. In conclusion, in animal models, Banggai yam flour extract is considered non-toxic under acute exposure conditions. Further studies involving subchronic and chronic toxicity tests and evaluation in human subjects are recommended to confirm its broader safety profile and support its use as a functional food ingredient.

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between health information quality management and patient safety performance, identifying significant factors influencing safety outcomes. A quantitative approach was used, with the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSPSC) translated, culturally tailored, and validated for the local setting. The intervention consisted of comprehensive training in information quality, workflow alignment, and the implementation of standardized documentation procedures over 6 weeks. The study was conducted at Awet Muda Narmada Regional General Hospital in West Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, with a sample size of 92 healthcare professionals, including physicians, nurses, and health information managers. The results demonstrated a 46-point improvement (from 52 to 98 on a 100-point Likert-type scale) in the dimension of "Management Support for Patient Safety," with an average gain of 46 points after the intervention.  A paired t-test found a significant difference between pre- and post-intervention scores (p = 0.001), and linear regression confirmed a strong positive relationship between information quality and patient safety (y = 0.86x + 24.15), with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.496. The study demonstrates that improving health information quality is associated with better patient safety outcomes. Practical implications include the need to incorporate information technology training, create non-punitive incident reporting systems, and optimize Electronic Health Records (EHR) to foster a stronger patient safety culture in hospital settings.

Abstract

Violence against women is a major public health problem globally and in Indonesia. This study aimed to determine the handling of violence against women in farming families through a two-way communication approach based on traditional institutions in Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi. This qualitative study employed a two-way communication approach. Key informants included traditional figures (head of the Traditional Institution and several additional informants involved in and knowledgeable about violence against women in farming families, including village heads, hamlet heads, community leaders, women's figures/activists, religious leaders, and traditional leaders in Sigi Regency). The main instrument was an interview guideline, and the data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis. The causes of violence against women in farming families in Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi Province, were identified as economic problems, patriarchal culture, and education. Impacts experienced by victims included: psychological trauma (frustration, heartache, shame, mental pressure), physical trauma (bruises, wounds), family neglect (lack of support), and separation (divorce). Regarding the prevention of violence against women in farming families, the findings indicate that efforts focused on intervention after violence occurred, rather than proactive prevention. In terms of handling violence, two patterns emerged: initial handling by the family using a familial approach, and subsequent reporting through government channels (such as the village office followed by customary law) if the violence persisted or the familial approach was unsuccessful. Alternatively, some cases were directly reported to the village office without family negotiation

Abstract

Ronda disease is a dermatological condition that often infects humans, causing symptoms like itching, skin pain, and prolonged fever. The Kaili ethnic group considers this disease dangerous and potentially fatal if not treated promptly. This study aimed to explore the Kaili community's perception of Ronda Disease. A qualitative method with a life history approach was employed to examine the community's knowledge and experience in seeking treatment. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with five purposively sampled informants: three patients with current or past Ronda Disease, one Sando (shaman), and one Sando assistant involved in treatment. Study results indicated that Ronda Disease is not viewed as an ordinary illness but as deliberately 'sent' to cause suffering. Two interviewed patients initially believed they had common skin conditions like eczema or athlete's foot; despite repeated consultations with dermatologists over several months, their condition did not improve. Following consultation with a Sando and a traditional diagnosis, they were identified as having Ronda Disease. Traditional treatment therapy, involving herbal concoctions and bathing rituals, was administered until recovery. These findings suggest that the modern health system faced challenges in adequately addressing this specific condition within this cultural context. Integrating modern and traditional health systems appears crucial for creating synergy in managing diverse health issues, including culturally specific conditions like Ronda Disease

Abstract

Dysmenorrhea, or menstrual pain, is a prevalent condition among adolescent girls. Various strategies have been employed to alleviate dysmenorrhea, one of which is the consumption of young coconut water, which is known for its rich electrolyte and mineral content. This study aimed to examine the effect of young coconut water consumption on the intensity of menstrual pain among adolescent girls. A pre-post experimental study design with a one-group pre-test–post-test approach was employed. The study was conducted at SMPN 39 Padang, a junior high school located in West Sumatra, Indonesia, and involved 189 female students from grades VII, VIII, and IX. A purposive sample of 12 students who reported experiencing dysmenorrhea was selected for the intervention. Participants were instructed to consume young coconut water for three consecutive days during menstruation. The intensity of menstrual pain was assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before and after the intervention. Data analysis was conducted using paired t-tests. Univariate analysis demonstrated a reduction in mean pain scores from 4.00 ± 1.35 (indicating moderate pain) to 1.58 ± 0.67 (indicating mild pain). The paired t-test revealed a statistically significant decrease in menstrual pain intensity following the intervention (p-value = 0.000, p < 0.05). In conclusion, the consumption of young coconut water was found to be effective in reducing the intensity of dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls. It may serve as a safe, natural, and accessible complementary approach for managing dysmenorrhea in adolescents

Abstract

Anemia among adolescent girls is a critical health issue that requires serious attention, as it can trigger a chain of nutritional problems in future generations. Providing iron supplementation tablets to adolescent girls is expected to reduce the incidence of anemia in this population group. This study aimed to assess the knowledge level of adolescent girls before and after receiving nutrition education on the importance of iron supplementation. A quasi-experimental study design was used, specifically a one-group pre-test and post-test design. Participants' knowledge was initially pre-tested using a validated questionnaire adapted from previous studies. The questionnaire had been reviewed and validated by experts in the field of nutrition education to ensure its reliability in measuring knowledge about iron supplementation. Nutrition education was delivered through interpersonal communication for approximately 40–50 minutes. Following the intervention, participants' knowledge was reassessed through a post-test. The study sample consisted of 13 adolescent girls enrolled at Muhammadiyah Junior High School, Maros Regency. Data was collected through interviews, and knowledge assessment was performed using the same validated questionnaire. The results showed a p-value of 0.003 (<0.05), indicating a statistically significant improvement in the knowledge of adolescent girls after receiving the nutrition education intervention. The interpersonal communication approach likely contributed to this improvement by enabling active interaction, immediate feedback, and better engagement with the participants, all of which are essential factors in enhancing information retention.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an acute viral infectious disease that attacks the body. DHF is divided into 4 grades (I, II, III, IV), in which degrees 3 and 4 are also known as Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS). When the disease severity is detected too late, it can be fatal. Therefore, a predictor or inflammatory marker is needed to detect and predict this. In this study, the inflammatory marker assessed is the NLR value. This study compares the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and the incidence of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever and Dengue Shock Syndrome in pediatric patients at the Anutapura Regional Hospital, Central Sulawesi Province. This study uses an observational analytical method with a cross-sectional design using secondary data from medical records at the Anutapura Regional Hospital, Palu, in 2021-2023. The sample included is patients with a diagnosis of DHF, totaling 100 samples. The sampling technique used is random sampling. Based on the Mann-Whitney test, a significant difference (p = 0.001) was found in the NLR value between DHF and DSS. The mean NLR in DHF was lower (1.28 (±0.98 SD)) than in DSS (2.07 (±1.59 SD)). There was no significant relationship between age (p=0.217) and gender (p=0.597) in the DHF and DSS groups. It is then concluded that there is a significant difference in NLR values between DHF and DSS, where NLR values are lower in DHF and higher in DSS.
