Abstract

Stunting is the inadequate intake of nutrients from the womb in children until the age of five, which is characterized by stunted height. As a result of these chronic malnutrition conditions, it can systemically inhibit the development of children in the first two years of life so that children become stunted.  This study is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design conducted at the Sicanang Medan Health Center. For respondent collection, the sampling procedure was carried out using the total sampling technique on stunting data from the Sicanang Medan Health Center. Analysis was carried out with descriptive, bivariate and multivariate analysis using multiple logistic regression analysis test. The analysis was carried out to find the most influential risk factors for the incidence of stunting cases at the Sicanang Health Center.  The results of multivariate analysis by considering confounding factors showed that the most influential factors on the incidence of stunting were mothers who married too young (aOR = 0.64; 95% CI = 0.21-1.49; p-value = 0.046) and child spacing below 2 years young (aOR = 1.53; 95% CI = 0.22-2.83; p-value = 0.023).

Abstract

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a non-communicable disease (NCD) that is a global problem with high incidence, especially in developing countries. COPD is described as a respiratory disease with restricted airflow due to alveolar obstruction or lameness. This study aims to analyze the relationship between body mass index and the degree of COPD. The design of this study was cross-sectional. A total of 67 respondents were taken using the sample size formula. COPD patients at Pirngadi Hospital Medan, totaling 67 people, were taken as respondents in this study. Data collection was carried out using secondary data, namely medical records. The results of the research data were analyzed using the Spearman Test. The results showed that the degree of severe COPD was 25 respondents (37.3%). All respondents had a body mass index classified as underweight, namely 28 respondents (41.8). The correlation test of body mass index with COPD found a significant correlation between BMI and COPD degree -0.789 (p<0.05). Suggestions for further researchers could include other variables that may affect COPD, such as the effect of pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies on the degree of COPD

Abstract

This study investigates the emergence and impact of "Gripep," a term used in Indonesia to describe a combination of flu-like symptoms and psychosocial distress. Utilizing qualitative analysis, we explore the socio-cultural factors contributing to the spread of "Gripep" within Indonesian society. The research highlights the increasing prevalence of these symptoms, which manifest as heightened anxiety, depressive tendencies, and general unease. Through a comprehensive review of recent academic literature, expert interviews, and public health reports, we identify key influences such as urbanization, cultural practices, and mental health stigma that exacerbate the condition. The findings reveal significant challenges in healthcare management, underscoring the need for integrated care that addresses both physical and mental health aspects. Furthermore, the study evaluates current public health strategies aimed at controlling "Gripep," emphasizing the importance of culturally sensitive interventions. The results indicate that without timely detection and effective management, "Gripep" may lead to long-term health consequences, impacting individuals and communities. This research aims to inform policymakers and healthcare professionals, providing insights for the development of evidence-based interventions to combat this emerging public health challenge in Indonesia.

Abstract

Anemia is a condition of hemoglobin or red blood cells below 7gr/dl. The government's efforts to encourage pregnant women to consume 90 Fe tablets during pregnancy have not achieved national coverage due to the absence of a monitoring and evaluation program that is direct to low attitudes and adherence. Therefore, it is necessary to design an effective strategy with a smart monitoring system to observe the attitudes and adherence of pregnant women in consuming Fe tablets. The study aimed to determine the effect of a smart monitoring system on attitudes and adherence to the consumption of iron supplement tablets in pregnant women in the work area of Puskesmas Klego 1.The type of research adopted quantitative with the pre-experimental method using the one-group pre-test and post-test design research design. The sampling used a total sampling technique with 50 respondents. Data analysis utilized paired T-test and Wilcoxon test to determine the effect of a smart monitoring system on attitudes and adherence.The analysis of the Paired T-Test presented p value = 2.61 (p = 2.61->0.05). It indicated no effect of the smart monitoring system on attitudes. The results of the Wilcoxon test analysis obtained a p-value = 0.000 (p = 0.00-<0.05. There are differences in the effect of using the smart monitoring system on the attitudes of pregnant women in the work area of Puskesmas Klego 1.

Abstract

Burns are tissue damage due to contact with a heat source, such as fire, hot water, chemicals, electricity, or radiation. Burns are a type of trauma with high morbidity and mortality rates and require high treatment costs. In Indonesia, burns are still a serious problem that requires special care, high costs, and skilled personnel. Currently, burn assessments are carried out manually, which is time-consuming and the results are subjective. Treatment efforts include preventing infection and encouraging epithelial cell regeneration to close the wound. Therefore, innovation is needed in the form of a system that helps assess burns more effectively, including classifying wound tissue, measuring wound area, and monitoring wound development. The use of an Android-based system can provide more accurate measurements through a digital planimetry approach or image segmentation, which can identify wound boundaries and tissue types. Technology-based health applications, such as the "Degree of Burn" application, allow for more efficient calculation of burn area and fluid requirements. This study uses a literature review method from international journals, national journals, books, and conference results related to burn assessment to support the development of this system.
