<![CDATA[Introduction. Stunting manifests chronic nutritional deficiency that can begin in the baby in the womb and after birth. This study identifies and describes various stunting prevention and management efforts reported in the literature in Indonesia. This study was to obtain an overview of the prevention and efforts to treat stunting; it is hoped that it will produce the best efficacy information and can be scientifically accounted for so that it can be applied as a national policy in Indonesia. Methods. We reviewed Indonesian and English articles published between 2018 and 2022 through ProQuest, PubMed, and Google Scholar search data engines. The search generated 2,454 articles. All selected studies were systematically evaluated and screened based on title, open access, and full text related to the research objectives. Finally, 10 articles were included in the learning. Stunting prevention and intervention efforts are identified from the selected articles and presented in the extraction table. The final conclusion is made based on the types of intervention from the articles obtained. Results. The results showed that there were 2 types of interventions to overcome stunting in toddlers, namely preventive and curative. Preventive intervention is carried out by conducting health education, mentoring and counselling for families, mothers, and caregivers of stunting toddlers, while curative interventions are provided by improving food intake and adding nutrients. Conclusion. This study describes a variety of stunting prevention and interventions that have been reported in the literature. Further research on the management of stunting with comorbidities is needed because stunting children are a population at risk for complications.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction. One of the competencies of nursing students is wound care. The goal of moist wound healing treatment is to keep the wounds wet for the natural tissue growth as the wounds heal. For the community, the existence of independent nursing practices will make the community more able to obtain health services, especially in nursing services. People do not have to go to a hospital when there are health or nursing services around their residence. Method. This research is a descriptive study to identify student competence in wound care using a cross sectional design. Result and Analysis. From the research result, it is known that the r table for a sample size of 30 is 0.361. When the Cronbach's Alpha is bigger than 0.7 then it is reliable. The univariate tests were conducted to provide a descriptive picture. In numerical data, the analysis results were presented as mean ± SD. While the categorical data is presented in the form of frequency and percentage. The bivariate test used is Pearson correlation.

<![CDATA[ Introduction. In addition to having a higher risk of more physical and psychological health problems, blue-collar workers form the largest proportion of the workforce in industries. Thus, it is important to ensure their well-being which can have broader benefits for economic growth and society. This study aims at investigating the relationship between subjective well-being, namely life satisfaction and heart rate variability (HRV) coherence as an objective indicator. The second aim is to evaluate whether any differences in HRV coherence across three levels of life satisfaction groups (dissatisfied, neutral, and satisfied) after a brief session of resonant breathing training. Methods. A total of 313 female blue-collar workers from an electronic manufacturing company participated in this study. All participants completed a satisfaction with life scale (SWLS). Their HRV coherences were then recorded at baseline or rest and after attending a brief session of resonant breathing. Results and Analysis. We found a significant correlation between life satisfaction and HRV coherence after the intervention but not at rest, implying a current state of cardiac activity did not reflect workers’ attitudes toward their life. Moreover, less satisfied workers showed greater cardiac coherence improvement than those who perceived more satisfaction in life. Discussion. This finding suggests that brief resonant breathing training can help workers achieve greater HRV coherence which offers its potential as a strategy to combat workplace stressors.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction. Tuberculosis (TB) spondylitis is one of the most common spinal infections. The management of spinal tuberculosis is difficult due to non-specific and variable clinical manifestation that leading to delayed identification and increases the risk of disease. The early identification and treatment are very important to avoid permanent damage in the future. Method. In this research, the researcher reports a case of a patient with tuberculous spondylitis involving the thoracic vertebral body which treated by decompression and posterior stabilization treatment. Results and Analysis. The physical examination revealed a mass appears in the midline of the back. Chest CT examination without contrast revealed a mass that caused destruction and compression of the right side of the Thoracal 7 (Th 7) vertebral body, partial destruction of the right Th7 lamina, and spinal intracanal pushing to the left of the Th7 level of the spinal cord which caused the destruction of 7th and 8th posteromedial right ribs nearby. During the two months of treatment, the patient was treated with a first-line oral regimen as standard treatment for extrapulmonary TB followed by seven-month follow-up phase. At follow-up after more than 2 months of initial TB drug administration, the back pain was persisted. The patient underwent level 7 thoracic decompression by means of laminectomy and flavectomy. Histopathological examination from biopsy showed fibrous connective tissue containing epitheloid tubercles with datia langhans which suggests the presence of tuberculous spondylitis. The diagnosis was confirmed by AFB staining. Discussion. This case is important to provide recognition of the risks and phenomena of the continuing incidence of spinal TB, despite the progress made in early diagnosis and effective management.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction. Stunting is a growth disorder in children under five due to chronic malnutrition and recurrent infections. Therefore, efforts are needed to increase community participation in preventing stunting and the strategy to implement a health promotion strategy. Bangun Purba sub-district has been included in the stunting locus since 2020. This study aimed to analyze health promotion strategies (advocacy, partnerships, and community empowerment) on community participation in stunting prevention. Method. This type of research was a mixed method with an explanatory sequential design with a quantitative approach of interviewing 131 respondents and qualitative with in-depth interviews with 10 informants. The data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis (logistic regression). Result & Analysis. The results showed that 49.6% of respondents stated that advocacy was not good, there was an influence between advocacy and community participation (p=0.046), but the implementation of advocacy was good enough, along with public commitment and government support. The partnership was stated by 72.2% of respondents in the not good category because partnerships in stunting prevention not implemented optimally, there was an influence between partnerships on community participation (p=0.042). Community empowerment was stated by 72.5% of respondents in not good category due to activities not running actively, there was an influence between community empowerment on community participation (p=0.038). The community empowerment variable was the greatest variable influence on community participation with OR = 0.536. Discussion. Good coordination and synergize well in the prevention and control of stunting so that Deli Serdang Regency becomes a stunting-free Regency.]]>
