Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the influence of maternal factors on stunting in young children aged 24-59 months. Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in a subdistrict of Padang. The dependent variable was stunting, and the independent variables were maternal factors. The sample number was 155, and it was collected using stratified and consecutive sampling techniques. Chi-square and logistic regression were applied in data analysis. Results: The study reveals no significant difference between stunted and non-stunted under-five children in terms of the following maternal factors: age at pregnancy, body mass index (BMI), gestational age, upper arm circumference, height, and education. However, both groups showed a significant difference in terms of the number of children (p = 0.041), parenting style (p = 0.006), and knowledge (p = 0.039). Logistic regression analysis showed that mothers who had poor parenting styles had a 3.186 times higher risk of having children with stunting compared to mothers who had good parenting styles (95% CI: 1.382-7.348). Conclusion: The mother's parenting style was the most influential factor in the incidence of stunting among children in Padang City. More effective preventive and intervention measures to overcome the problem of stunting need to pay attention to maternal parenting style, knowledge, and the number of children.

Abstract

Purpose: The first human milk produced contains highly nutritious colostrum and antibodies that could protect newborns against disease. The study analysed the role of maternal employment status in achieving early initiation of breastfeeding in urban Indonesia. Methods: This cross-sectional study employed secondary data from the 2017 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey. The study analyzed 36,163 women with children under 24 months old. The study used early initiation of breastfeeding as the outcome variable and maternal employment status as the exposure variable. Furthermore, the research employed ten control variables: maternal current marital status, age, education, parity, wealth, antenatal care, place of delivery, mode of delivery, type of birth, and child sex. The authors employed a binary logistic regression in the final test. Results: The study showed that unemployed mothers were 1.587 times more likely to experience early initiation of breastfeeding than employed mothers in urban Indonesia (AOR 1.587; 95% CI 1.509-1.669). The result indicated that maternal unemployment was a protective factor for the early initiation of breastfeeding in urban Indonesia. Moreover, the results also found that eight control variables were significantly correlated with the early initiation of breastfeeding: current maternal marital status, maternal age, maternal education level, parity, wealth status, antenatal care, place of delivery, and mode of delivery. Conclusion: The study found that maternal employment status correlates with the early initiation of breastfeeding in urban Indonesia. Maternal unemployment status was more likely to experience early initiation of breastfeeding than employed mothers.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the resistance status of Aedes aegypti (Ae. aegypti) to temephos at Dumai International Seaport, Indonesia, and to identify the biochemical mechanisms underlying this resistance to support more effective vector control strategies. Methods: An experimental study was conducted using larval bioassays at four concentrations of temephos (0.005–0.625 mg/L) to determine susceptibility levels in field-collected mosquito populations from operational and industrial zones. A laboratory strain was used as a control. Additionally, biochemical assays were performed to measure α-esterase and monooxygenase activity, which are potential indicators of metabolic resistance. Results: Larval bioassays revealed reduced susceptibility to temephos in both operational and industrial populations compared to the laboratory strain. The resistance ratios were 9.75 and 11.75, respectively, indicating moderate to high resistance. Biochemical analysis showed significantly increased α-esterase activity in both field populations (p<0.000), while the seaport population also exhibited elevated monooxygenase activity (p<0.020), suggesting enzyme-mediated resistance mechanisms. Conclusion: The presence of temephos resistance in Ae. aegypti at Dumai Seaport underscores the need to revise existing insecticide use practices. Integrating biochemical surveillance and diverse control measures within the framework of integrated vector management is essential to ensure the sustainability and effectiveness of vector control programs.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the association between hygiene and sanitation facilities, food handler knowledge, health checks, and uniform conditions with personal hygiene behavior among food handlers in fast food restaurants in South Jakarta. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using secondary data from 102 fast food restaurants inspected by the South Jakarta Health Office in 2021. Variables were constructed from standardized environmental health inspection forms. Chi-square tests and logistic regression were used to analyze the relationships between variables. Results: The majority (93.1%) of food handlers exhibited good personal hygiene behavior. Multivariate analysis revealed that the quantity and quality of handwashing facilities (adjOR: 6.64; 95% CI: 1.14–38.74) and the condition of work uniforms (adjOR: 8.48; 95% CI: 1.43–50.12) were significantly associated with personal hygiene behavior. Other variables, such as knowledge and health checks, showed no significant association despite low implementation rates. Conclusion: Ensuring the availability of proper handwashing facilities and appropriate work uniforms can significantly improve food handlers’ hygiene behavior, thereby reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses. These findings underline the importance of infrastructure, routine inspections, and hygiene monitoring in fast food settings as part of a broader public health strategy to enhance food safety.

Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of health literacy interventions, such as health education, health promotion, and digital media use, in improving knowledge, attitudes, and contraceptive use among women of reproductive age (WRA) in Indonesia, as well as to compare outcomes in rural and urban areas. Methods: This systematic review, guided by the PRISMA 2020 framework, analyzed data from 2019 to 2024 on health literacy interventions related to contraception. Literature was sourced from four databases: Lens.org, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Results: Out of 10,451 articles identified (Lens.org: n=1,598; PubMed: n=84; Scopus: n=121; Google Scholar: n=8,648), 154 articles were assessed for eligibility, and 22 were included in the final review. Common interventions included leaflets, videos, mobile apps, and counseling, which effectively improved WRA’s knowledge, attitudes, and contraceptive behaviors. Technology-based methods were more effective in urban areas, while community-based approaches were more effective in rural settings. Conclusion: Health literacy interventions improve contraceptive outcomes among WRA in Indonesia. Their effectiveness varies by the type of intervention and the geographic context. A combined approach of community empowerment and technology, tailored to local settings, is key to enhancing contraceptive health literacy.
