Abstract

Stunting is still a global health emergency, and this is a burden for developing countries including Indonesia. Based on the report, Indonesia is the country with the 5th largest contributor to stunting worldwide. The empowerment of cadres is considered very helpful in monitoring children's growth and development. This study aims to determine the training of cadres on knowledge and skills in monitoring the growth of toddlers in the working area of the Samarinda City Health Centre. The research is a quasi-experimental design conducted in July – August 2023 in the working area of the Samarinda City Health Center, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. A total of 66 cadres were involved as respondents by setting inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data was then collected and analyzed with the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests. Results show that there is an effect of training using modules on cadre knowledge (p = 0.000), there is an effect of training using videos on cadre knowledge (p = 0.000), there is an effect of training using modules on cadre skills (p = 0.000), and there is an effect of training using videos on cadre skills (p = 0.000). There is a difference. These results show that module media is more effectively used in training than video. Both forms of training exert the same effect. However, module-based training is more effective than video, this is because module media builds interaction among cadres

Abstract

The Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) method is a survey method that can be used to measure the satisfaction performance that is considered important by customers (expectations) and the satisfaction performance received by customers (reality). This research aims to determine the level of compatibility between performance and expectations of satisfaction towards the quality of service at the Biromaru Public Health Center in Sigi Regency. This type of research was quantitative with descriptive analysis techniques; the sample size used the Slovin formula, while the sampling used accidental sampling techniques. The total sample was 99 respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires and then analyzed using the Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) method. Results show that The Biromaru Public Health Center has met patient expectations in terms of the friendliness and politeness of health workers, the cleanliness of examination rooms, and the timeliness of doctor examinations. However, there are several areas where the health center can improve, such as the cleanliness and maintenance of the building, the waiting time for medicines, and the availability of sophisticated and adequate health facilities. The attributes that patients consider less important, but are still implemented well, include the appearance of health workers, the clarity of drug dosage information, and the good communication of nurses. The Bureaumaru Health Center has met patient expectations in terms of the courtesy and politeness of health workers, the cleanliness of the examination room, and the timeliness of doctor's examinations.

Abstract

The earthquake disaster in Palu in 2018, followed by the pandemic in 2020, caused mobility to be hampered and affected people's habits and lifestyles, who mostly stayed at home and had no activities. This also affected pregnant women who just stayed at home because they were afraid. The impact of the pandemic will result in less physical activity and less interaction with health workers, causing pregnant women to experience macrosomia. This research aims to determine the risk factors for postpartum hemorrhage at Anutapura Public Hospital in Palu. This research was an analytic observational with a case-control approach. Case subjects were mothers who experienced postpartum hemorrhage, and controls were mothers who did not experience postpartum hemorrhage. Case samples were 67 people, and controls were 67 people with age matching. A simple random sampling technique was carried out for sampling. The data source used secondary data, medical records for 2019-2021. Data analysis used the odds ratio test. The results showed that macrosomia (OR=4.543 and CI=1.421-14.528), prolonged labor (OR=3.674 and CI=1.720-7.850), and parity (OR=2.452 and CI=1.199-5.014) a risk factor for postpartum hemorrhage. Postpartum hemorrhage is significantly associated with low-risk macrosomia, low-risk parity, and safe parity

Abstract

This research aims to determine bullying behavior among Generation Z youth at the DP3A Children's Forum in Palu City. This research used qualitative research methods with a case study design. There were 10 informants in the research using purposive sampling techniques. Data management using matrix techniques. The results of research on the behavioral belief variable were that the perpetrator understands the dangers of bullying quite well, but bullying behavior was still carried out. Regarding the evaluation variable or behavioral impact, most did not know and did not feel the impact of bullying. In the behavioral motivation variable, the perpetrators were motivated to bully because it was fun for them and had thought about stopping bullying because they had received warnings and advice from those closest to them. It is suggested that the Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Service (in Indonesia known as DP3A) of Palu City should find out about providing maximum education and guidance to the parents of the perpetrators so that bullying behavior by those who become administrators or new members in the Palu City Nosarara children's forum does not occur. Parents should pay attention and always ask about the activities they are carrying out and understand their children's feelings so that they trust them and do not hesitate to talk about their children's problems

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine smoking behavior among adolescents, particularly in a public junior high school of SMP Negeri 9 Palu City. This type of research was qualitative research with a case study approach. The informants in this study consisted of 10 people using a purposive sampling technique. The variables in this study consisted of knowledge, attitudes, facilities and infrastructure, and peers. The results showed that knowledge of smoking behavior was quite good regarding the dangers of smoking. The attitude of most of the informants towards smoking behavior was not good because they still accepted peer invitations to smoke. Access to cigarettes is quite easy by buying retail cigarettes at stalls near the school. Peers have a major influence on smoking behavior at school. Adolescents at SMP Negeri 9 Palu City, despite having good knowledge about the dangers of smoking, demonstrate inconsistent behavior due to positive attitudes, easy access to cigarettes, and strong peer influence. This highlights the need for interventions that address not only knowledge dissemination but also address attitudes and peer pressure, making it harder to access cigarettes near schools.

Abstract

Stunting is a serious health problem that has long-term impacts on children's physical and cognitive growth and national progress. This study aims to explore micro-level social determinants, such as maternal knowledge, caregiving practices, household food access, and health service utilization, that influence stunting in Kediri City, and to formulate context-based strategies to address these issues. The design of this study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method; Data were collected through in-depth interviews and participatory observations of mothers who have toddlers or school-age children. Based on research, the incidence of stunting in Kediri City is influenced by various factors, including: lack of understanding of balanced nutrition, inadequate nutritional intake, malnutrition from an early age, lack of monitoring during pregnancy, Low Birth Weight (LBW), unhealthy eating habits, to recurring child health problems, lack of food variety and limited time and knowledge of mothers also exacerbate the situation. These findings emphasize the importance of nutrition education from pregnancy, improving primary health services such as routine visits to health centers, and continuous monitoring of child growth and development. This study recommends a multisectoral and participatory approach to accelerate the reduction of stunting at the community level.

Abstract

Murraya koenigii (curry leaf) is a tropical plant known for its diverse phytochemical content and potent antioxidant activity. However, limited studies have provided comprehensive quantitative data on its bioactive compounds, especially from Indonesian varieties. This study aimed to quantitatively analyze flavonoid, saponin, and tannin content in young and mature curry leaves and evaluate their in vitro antioxidant activity using the DPPH assay. An experimental design was conducted from January to March 2025. Ethanolic extracts of young and mature M. koenigii leaves from Aceh were prepared via maceration. Phytochemical quantification was performed using spectrophotometric methods, and antioxidant capacity was assessed using the DPPH radical scavenging assay with IC₅₀ determination. Young leaves showed higher levels of total flavonoids (0.19%), saponins (3.34%), and tannins (5.77%) compared to mature leaves (0.13%, 2.53%, and 4.58%, respectively). However, mature leaf extract exhibited stronger antioxidant activity with an IC₅₀ value of 46.77 μg/mL (very strong category), while young leaves showed 53.14 μg/mL (strong category). This suggests that antioxidant efficacy is influenced more by compound maturity and synergistic effects than total concentration. Mature M. koenigii leaves have superior antioxidant potential despite lower phytochemical concentrations, highlighting the importance of compound quality and interactions between compounds.

Abstract

Fluid restriction compliance refers to a patient's adherence to the prescribed limit of fluid intake to maintain optimal health. This compliance is influenced by factors such as age, education level, family support, and knowledge. The purpose of this study was to explore how these factors impact fluid restriction adherence among hemodialysis patients. This correlational research used a cross-sectional design with a sample of 155 hemodialysis patients from Jampangkulon Regional Hospital, selected through proportional random sampling. Data were collected via a questionnaire and analyzed using chi-square and logistic regression. The study found that a majority of patients were compliant with fluid restrictions (71.0%), and most possessed good knowledge on the topic (80.6%). Bivariate analysis identified significant effects of age (p=0.030), education (p=0.041), family support (p=0.015), and knowledge (p=0.001) on compliance. After controlling for all factors in a logistic regression model, knowledge emerged as the sole statistically significant predictor of compliance (p=0.028). In conclusion, while age, education, family support, and knowledge were all correlated with adherence, knowledge was the most significant factor in predicting compliance. It is recommended that Jampangkulon Regional Hospital enhance educational programs and involve families in patient care to improve compliance.
