Abstract

Stunting constitutes a formidable challenge within public health development, necessitating integrated, cross-sectoral strategies for its effective mitigation. A heightened prevalence of stunting is observed in the coastal regions of Tarakan City. This study was designed to elucidate the determinants of stunting among children aged 6–36 months within seaweed farming communities in Tarakan City to inform the formulation of targeted prevention and control policies. An analytical observational study employing a cross-sectional design was conducted from July to September 2023. The target population comprised 200 mothers engaged in seaweed farming in the coastal areas of Tarakan City with children aged 6–36 months. A purposive sampling method was utilized to recruit a sample of 151 participants. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that stunting was significantly associated (p<0.05) with several variables. Key maternal determinants included the level of knowledge regarding stunting, household income, and residential sanitation conditions. Child-specific determinants encompassed the history of exclusive breastfeeding, morbidity from infectious diseases, and daily protein intake. In conclusion, the prevalence of stunting among children of seaweed farmers in this coastal setting is multifactorial, with significant determinants originating from both maternal and child-related factors. Although certain variables did not yield statistical significance in this analysis, their established role in pediatric health is undeniable. Therefore, it is recommended that comprehensive public health interventions continue to address all investigated factors, given their scientific foundation for promoting optimal child growth and development

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between household characteristics and access to sufficient water in Kyrgyzstan, utilizing secondary data from the 2023 Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS). Employing a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, the analysis encompassed univariate, bivariate (Chi-square test), and multivariate (binary logistic regression) methods. The sample comprised 6,615 households, with findings indicating that most households are of productive age, possess secondnoary to higher education, reside in rural areas, and have access to sufficient water. Economic and regional distributions within the sample are relatively balanced, reflecting the broader population's diversity. Multivariate analysis revealed that access to sufficient water is significantly influenced by regional location, household welfare level, and ethnicity; regions such as Issyk-Kul, Bishkek, and Jalal-Abad exhibit higher access, while Talas and Chui show lower access. Demographic factors like gender, age, and place of residence did not significantly affect water access. These findings underscore the necessity for targeted policies that address disparities in water access, focusing on disadvantaged regions and low-income households to promote equitable access to sufficient water

Abstract

In coastal areas, a less diverse diet is one of the main causes of anemia in pregnant women. This study aims to analyze the correlation between marine resource consumption patterns and the incidence of anemia in pregnant women in coastal areas of Indonesia in the period January 2025, focusing on food intake. This study uses a cross-sectional study design. The population in this study is pregnant women living in coastal areas, totaling 369 pregnant women; the sampling technique used in this study is Simple Random Sampling, totaling 189 respondents. Data collection was conducted using a Food Frequency Questionnaire, which was employed to identify the types and frequency of marine resource consumption over the past month, while the three-day 24-hour dietary recall was used to estimate daily nutrient intake, including iron and other relevant micronutrients. Anemia status was assessed by measuring hemoglobin levels through the Cyanmethemoglobin method. In data analysis, the Spearman test will be used to identify the relationship between marine resource consumption patterns and the incidence of anemia. Based on the results of the Spearman test on pregnant women, the value of Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.033 was obtained, which showed that there was a significant relationship between seafood consumption patterns and the incidence of anemia in pregnant women in coastal areas. study found a significant relationship between seafood consumption patterns and anemia in pregnant women in coastal areas. The presence of non-heme iron and inhibitory compounds in seafood, along with low intake of red meat and liver, increases the risk of anemia.

Abstract

The increasing consumption of processed meat products has driven innovation in the partial substitution of raw materials with healthier, functional plant-based alternatives such as white oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus). This study aimed to evaluate the effect of partially substituting beef with oyster mushrooms on the nutritional profile and sensory quality of meatball products. A quantitative approach was employed using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with one factor and five treatment levels (J0–J4), each replicated three times. The treatments consisted of 0 g, 25 g, 50 g, 75 g, and 100 g of oyster mushrooms combined with 300 g, 275 g, 250 g, 225 g, and 200 g of beef, respectively. The results showed that increasing the proportion of oyster mushrooms significantly (p < 0.05) increased moisture content (from 28.57% to 35.37%), crude fiber (from 0.80% to 3.10%), carbohydrate content (from 2.50% to 4.80%), and water-holding capacity (from 55.50% to 68.10%). Conversely, protein and fat contents decreased significantly, with protein dropping from 18.50% (J0) to 13.00% (J4), and fat from 15.80% to 7.20%. Sensory evaluation using a hedonic test with 20 semi-trained panelists revealed that treatment J2 (50 g oyster mushroom + 250 g beef) received the highest scores for taste (3.90), aroma (3.95), texture (3.85), and color (3.95). Treatments with higher levels of mushroom substitution (J3 and J4) led to a significant decline in sensory acceptance, particularly in taste and texture. Therefore, partial substitution with up to 50 g of white oyster mushroom is recommended as an optimal level to improve the nutritional quality of meatballs without compromising sensory attributes, supporting the development of healthier and more functional meat-based products.

Abstract

Lovina is one of the leading tourist destinations in North Bali, which is the target of the CHSE (Cleanliness, Health, Safety, and Environmental Sustainability) program as an effort to realize safe and sustainable tourism. However, there has been no systematic evaluation regarding the implementation of CHSE in the community living in tourist area. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the antecedents (planning), transaction (process), and outcomes (output) of CHSE program. A descriptive approach was used with a Countenance Stake evaluation model including 3 main stages, namely context (planning), process (implementation), and outcomes (output). Furthermore, this study comprised 50 respondents, consisting of the community living around the Lovina tourist area selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through interviews, questionnaires, and documentation of the local CHSE program. The results showed that the implementation of CHSE program in Lovina has been excellent, although several aspects still need to be improved, including community understanding of standards, active participation in implementing health protocols, and support from the local government, both in the form of ongoing socialization and supervision. At the antecedents stage, 62% of respondents confirmed readiness and understanding of the appropriate category. Meanwhile, at the transaction stage, 60% of respondents routinely implemented hygiene practices according to CHSE guidelines. At the outcomes stage, most respondents (88%) had a perception in accordance with sustainability. In conclusion, this study provides an important contribution to the development of health-based tourism in Bali, specifically emphasizing the importance of collaboration between the government, tourism actors, and the local community. As a recommendation, the results can be used as basis for formulating effective policies in improving the quality of safe, healthy, and sustainable tourism services in the Lovina tourist destination and other areas in Bali.

Abstract

The issue of early marriage and premarital pregnancy among adolescents has become a critically important topic, attracting serious attention at global, national, and local levels. This study aims to (i) explore peer dynamics in shaping adolescents' perceptions of early marriage and premarital pregnancy and (ii) analyze the influence of peers on adolescent decision-making regarding early marriage, premarital pregnancy, prevention, and education. This research employs a mixed-method approach (qualitative-quantitative). The study was conducted in Tana Toraja Regency in 2024. The population and sample consist of female adolescents aged 15–18 years. A stratified random sampling technique was used to select 168 respondents. Meanwhile, for the qualitative phase, 20 young women under the age of 18 were interviewed as affected individuals, examining the health, educational, and social impacts of early marriage and premarital pregnancy. Qualitative data collection was conducted through interviews and focus group discussions, whereas quantitative data were gathered via the distribution of questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted qualitative analysis through Nvivo software and quantitative analysis using Pearson correlation test and multiple linear regression. The findings indicate that peer influence plays a significant role in shaping adolescents’ perceptions of early marriage and premarital pregnancy. Statistical analysis using Pearson’s correlation test revealed a positive correlation between peer influence and adolescents’ perceptions of early marriage (r = 0,71) and premarital pregnancy (r = 0,73). Further analysis using multiple linear regression showed an R² value of 0,504, suggesting that approximately 50,4% of the variance in peer influence can be explained by the variables studied, indicating a substantial impact, particularly on perceptions of early marriage and premarital pregnancy. Overall, peer influence is significantly shaped by perceptions of early marriage and premarital pregnancy, underscoring the importance of social factors in shaping adolescent decisions regarding social and educational issues.

Abstract

Basic immunization coverage remains a challenge in Indonesia's public health efforts despite being a national priority program. Maternal perception is considered one of the factors that influence the completeness of immunization in children. Maternal perceptions of immunization can play an important role in determining the completeness of child immunization, as the decision to provide immunization is often influenced by the mother's beliefs and knowledge about the benefits of vaccines. This study aims to determine the relationship between maternal perceptions and the completeness of basic immunization status in toddlers in primary health care. This study is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design involving 69 mothers who have children aged 9-24 months. Respondents were selected using a quota sampling technique. Data were collected through a standardized and validated questionnaire in the Indonesian version. The data were analyzed univariately using frequency distribution and bivariately with the Chi-Square test. Most mothers (94.2%) had a positive perception of immunization, and 72.46% of children had received complete basic immunization. However, the results of statistical analysis showed no significant relationship between maternal perceptions and completeness of basic immunization (p = 0.3; OR= 0,31). Although the majority of mothers had positive perceptions, it was not significantly associated with children's basic immunization status. This finding indicates that other factors, such as vaccine availability, access to health services, and social support, may have a greater role in influencing immunization practices.

Abstract

Osteoporosis is a silent degenerative disease that commonly affects the elderly, leading to decreased bone density and increased risk of fractures. Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) is the standard tool for assessing Bone Mineral Density (BMD), but its limited availability and high cost in many healthcare facilities, especially in developing countries like Indonesia, necessitate alternative diagnostic methods. This study aims to assess the potential use of Computed Tomography (CT) scan images as a substitute for DEXA in detecting osteoporosis. The objective is to analyze bone texture attributes from CT images to differentiate between normal and osteoporotic bone structures. The method involved collecting CT scan data from patients at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM). The vertebrae regions were segmented from the abdominal CT images using image processing techniques to isolate bone tissue. Four image-derived texture attributes—Roughness, Contrast, Greyscale, and Phase—were then extracted using MATLAB-based analysis. The results showed that osteoporotic bones had higher values in Roughness and Contrast, and lower values in Greyscale and Phase compared to normal bones. Among these, Roughness was identified as the most sensitive attribute in detecting changes associated with osteoporosis. These findings indicate that CT scan images, when analyzed through proper segmentation and texture evaluation, have the potential to serve as a viable alternative for osteoporosis screening, particularly in settings where DEXA is unavailable.

Abstract

Morning sickness is a common symptom of pregnancy that occurs in the first trimester, characterized by nausea, vomiting, and fatigue due to hormonal changes such as hCG and estrogen. Although physiological, this condition can interfere with the mother's nutritional intake and have a negative impact on fetal health, especially if it is severe and prolonged. Masih there are still many pregnant women who face obstacles in meeting nutritional needs and optimally handling morning sickness. This study aims to determine and analyze the relationship between the severity of morning sickness, nutritional status of pregnant women, and fetal health. Method This study used a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. A sample of 100 pregnant women who experienced morning sickness in the first or second trimester, selected by purposive sampling at five Health Centers in Palopo City during July–November 2024. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews, then analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of p <0.05. A total of 36% of respondents had good nutritional status, 36% were undernourished, and 28% were overnourished. The severity of morning sickness was categorized as mild in 28% of respondents, moderate in 40%, and severe in 32%. Fetal health was considered good in 58% of respondents and poor in 42%. There was a statistically significant relationship between maternal nutritional status and the severity of morning sickness (P-value = 0.005), as well as between nutritional status and fetal health (P-value = 0.003). Additionally, a significant association was found between the severity of morning sickness and fetal health.

Abstract

Heart failure is a pathophysiological condition due to impaired heart function in pumping blood that is chronic and progressive, and contributes to high morbidity and mortality rates. Reducing these rates requires a treatment strategy that maintains the health and well-being of patients, one of which is through effective self-care management. In its implementation, the role of family is an important aspect as a source of non-medical support that can motivate patients to undergo treatment. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between family support and self-care practices among individuals with heart failure attending polyclinics in Garut City. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed, involving 105 participants who were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a family support questionnaire the Caregiver Contribution to Self-Care of Heart Failure Index version 2 (CC-SCHFI v.2), then The Spearman rank correlation test was used for data analysis. The results showed that most participants had high levels of family support (81%), and demonstrated moderate self-care practice (88,6%).  There was a strong and significant positive correlation between family support and self-care behavior (r = 0.680; p < 0.001), suggesting that better family support is associated with improved self-care practices among heart failure patients. Family support significantly enhances self-care behavior in heart failure patients. Involving family members in disease management programs is essential to promote better health outcomes.
