Abstract

Purpose: Infections in children can affect weight gain and linear growth by influencing metabolism and nutrition. Chronic inflammation results in growth failure mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines and poor nutritional intake, which affects the GH/IGF-1 axis. This study aimed to investigate the impact of the inflammatory response on children's anthropometry, particularly HAZ, and the role of IGF-1. Methods: An observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted from September 2021 to July 2022. The study involved children diagnosed with infections. The subjects had undergone a physical and laboratory investigation, which included a thorax photo, urine culture, Mantoux test, and complete blood test in a hospital setting. A complete medical history was obtained from the pediatrician. Results: The prevalence of undernutrition was 37.33%; the prevalence of underweight/severely underweight, stunted/severely stunted, and wasted/severely wasted was 25.33%, 30.66%, and 14.67% respectively. Stunted/severely stunted was more prevalent in subjects under 2 years old, compared to subjects more than 2 years old (22/41 vs. 7/34, p=0.014). SEM analysis revealed that the inflammatory response affected IGF-1 levels (r=0.850, p=0.000), while IGF-1 affected body composition (r=0.245, p=0.025), and then affected HAZ (r=1.000, p=0.000). The effect of IGF-1 on HAZ appears to be indirect, acting through body composition. Parental height has a weak, albeit significant, effect on body composition (r=0.101, p=0.025) and HAZ (r=0.192, p=0.040). Univariate analysis revealed strong correlations between IL-6 and IL-10 and IGF-1 (r=0.870, p=0.000 and 0.876, p=0.000, respectively). In contrast, parental height showed a correlation with HAZ/LAZ (r=0.319, p=0.000). Maternal height was correlated positively with WAZ (r=0.320, p=0.044). Conclusion: The prevalence of stunting among children under two years of age indicates that early childhood constitutes a critical period for intervention in growth and development. Inflammatory response has been demonstrated to influence IGF-1 levels in children. The role of IGF-1 on HAZ was mediated by body composition.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze why social support has not yet successfully transformed parenting behavior among caregivers of stunted toddlers in Nagari Tanjung, West Sumatra, and to identify internal and external barriers that prevent caregivers from accessing and utilizing the available support. Methods: We used an exploratory qualitative approach with a case study design, involving 47 caregivers of stunted toddlers. The findings highlight parenting barriers and provide a compelling argument for promoting Basic Social Work Training (PDPS) among nagari officials, thereby enabling them to integrate various social components within their communities effectively. We collected data through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation, then thematically analyzed it based on internal and external factor categories. Data collection was conducted in Nagari Tanjung, West Sumatra, in 2024. Results: The main barriers include low nutritional literacy, stigma, shame, minimal father involvement, and beliefs in myths such as palasik. Social support from family, community, health workers, and the government has not been effective due to a lack of integration, inadequate cultural contextualization, and insufficient attention to psychosocial aspects. Moreover, the role of community social workers (PSM) at the village level has not been fully optimized, further exacerbating the situation. Conclusion: Community- and culture-based interventions are necessary, along with capacity-building for Nagari government officials through PDPS, to enable them to function similarly to social workers. The Ministry of Social Affairs should extend this training to the village or nagari level, not just at the provincial or district level. Strengthening the roles of nagari officials, village midwives, and community cadres (PKK, Posyandu, Family Planning, PPKBD, Human Development Cadres, PSM, and PKH facilitators) can help coordinate a sustainable and culturally contextual parenting support system.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the implementation of tuberculosis preventive therapy (TPT) in Majalengka District using the Van Meter and Van Horn policy implementation model, focusing on inter-organizational communication, resources, implementer disposition, implementing agency characteristics, and economic-socio-political conditions. Methods: This qualitative study employed a case study approach involving six selected community health centers with the highest and lowest TPT coverage. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with six tuberculosis (TB) program managers, five triangulation informants, direct observations, and document reviews. Data were analyzed thematically, involving data reduction, presentation, and inductive conclusion drawing. Results: The study found that communication inconsistencies across national, provincial, and district levels led to information gaps at the community health center level. Implementation was hindered by limited human resources, diagnostic tools, and logistics, as well as the absence of clear internal regulations. However, proactive roles by TB program managers and cadres, supported by community-based outreach strategies, helped mitigate barriers. Social stigma, indirect costs, and low intersectoral coordination remained significant challenges. Conclusion: TPT implementation faced barriers such as inconsistent communication, limited resources, and unclear regulations. Effective TPT implementation requires coordination by the Ministry of Health, improved diagnostics by health facilities, empowerment of health workers and cadres, and strong support from local governments.

Abstract

Purpose: Retinoblastoma is the most common primary intraocular tumour in children. Its prognosis varies depending on the stage of diagnosis. However, in developing countries such as Indonesia, retinoblastoma still has a poor prognosis as most patients present at advanced stages. This research aims to explore the factors influencing the delay in patients with retinoblastoma reaching referral health facilities from the perspective of their families. Methods: A qualitative study using a phenomenological approach was conducted to gather family perspectives through in-depth interviews via WhatsApp calls. Each interview lasted 20-25 minutes and included families of retinoblastoma patients who had visited the eye clinic at Sardjito General Hospital at a late hour. “Late” was defined as tumour spread beyond the eyeball (intraorbital, spread to the optic nerve, or intracranial spread) or involvement of more than one eye. Audio was transcribed verbatim using a mobile phone voice recorder, and open coding was performed using Open Code 4.02 software to identify meaning units, codes, and categories. Triangulation and peer debriefing were used to ensure validity and trustworthiness. Results: Several categories emerged, including reasons for seeking help, trust in medical professionals, family compassion, and challenges in health facilities. Challenges in health facilities, particularly diagnostic capabilities, communication, and education about eye tumours, along with negative emotions like denial from families, contributed to delays in seeking treatment for retinoblastoma patients. Conclusion: Family compassion plays a positive role in encouraging families to seek medical help. However, challenges in health facilities, particularly in diagnosis, communication, and education about eye tumors, as well as family denial, contribute to the delays in retinoblastoma patients reaching referral health facilities.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the direct and indirect effects of knowledge, intention, and behavior related to drinking Blood Supplement Tablets and Eating Nutritious food, guided by the Theory of Planned Behavior, following education through video and comic media. Methods: This study employs a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental pre-post test two-group design. The sample size consists of 63 people, and the sampling technique employed is stratified sampling. Results: The direct effect of knowledge on actual behavior is -0.036, while the indirect effect is 0.006. The direct effect of attitude on actual behavior is 0.216, and the indirect effect is 0.027. Subjective norms have a greater indirect effect value of 0.035 compared to the direct effect value (-0.125). The same thing happens for the actual control variable, which has a direct effect value of 0.135 while the indirect effect is 0.052. The intention variable has a direct effect of 0.210 on actual behavior. Conclusion: Research shows that attitudes and intentions have a direct impact on healthy behavior, while knowledge, subjective norms, and behavioral control do not have a direct effect. These findings can serve as the basis for health education interventions, with suggestions for incorporating other behavioral models and exploring more diverse subjects.
