Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to explore maternal behavior in providing sweet foods and beverages to toddlers in Jembrana, Bali. Method: A qualitative case study design was employed, guided by the Health Belief Model to structure data collection and analysis. Twenty participants, including mothers of toddlers and health workers, were selected using purposive sampling from two primary health centers. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using qualitative content analysis supported by NVivo 12 Plus. Results: Maternal behavior varied in the frequency and types of sweet food and beverage provision, often influenced by perceptions of susceptibility, seriousness, benefits, and barriers. Some mothers showed low perceived susceptibility, believing their children were not at risk, while others recognized the negative health impacts. Perceived benefits included preventing illness and controlling eating habits, while barriers included limited supervision and environmental influences. Family communication, social media, and personal experiences shaped cues to action. Conclusion: Maternal behavior in feeding toddlers sweet foods and beverages is shaped by a combination of personal perceptions, family dynamics, and environmental context. Efforts to promote healthier feeding practices should address these multifaceted influences through community-based education and supportive family engagement.

Abstract

Purpose: Stress is a global epidemic. In the decade, more than 50% of the population in many countries reported experiencing work-related stress. The percentage of female workers working in the formal sector in Indonesia has increased every year, and female workers tend to be more vulnerable to work stress. Some of the causes of work stress in the industrial world are workload, interpersonal conflict, and work-family conflict. Methods: This study employed a quantitative cross-sectional design. The research sample was 70 respondents. This research utilized the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health's Generic Job Stress Questionnaire as a measurement tool. Results: Results of chi-square and Fisher's exact test showed a positive correlation between workload (p = 0.00), interpersonal conflict (p = 0.00), and work-family conflict (p = 0.00) with work stress. The results of the logistic regression test showed that conflicts between interpersonal and work-family conflict correlated significantly with work stress, with a Pseudo R² value of 0.3285, indicating that the variables of interpersonal conflict and work-family conflict correlate equally to 32.85% of work stress. While 0.6715, or 67.15%, of work stress on women workers sewing parts may be caused by other factors. Conclusions: Workload, interpersonal conflict, and work-family conflict have a positive relationship with events and work stress on women workers sewing part.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine whether primary health care (PHC) services in Indonesian cities are utilized exclusively by the poor or also by the non-poor. If both groups access PHC, it may indicate that the system promotes equity by providing inclusive, non-discriminatory services. Methods: This study analyzed the utilization of primary health care (PHC) among individuals aged 15 years and older in 13 major cities in Indonesia, using data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey 5 (IFLS5), conducted in 2014. The equity effect was assessed by comparing the proportion of PHC users between poor and non-poor population groups. Results: The proportion of the population utilizing primary health care (PHC) increased by 26% in the past four weeks. Among the five major urban areas in Indonesia, Jakarta demonstrated the most equitable utilization of PHC services between poor and non-poor groups. In Jakarta, the poor were more likely to use PHC services, with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.3 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.04–1.83). Conclusion: Jakarta demonstrates the most equitable access to health services between poor and non-poor populations among major Indonesian cities. These findings align with primary health care (PHC) reform efforts and support the policy objective of improving access to health facilities for the poor.

Abstract

Purpose: The installation of drinking water facilities in the school environment has been shown to increase students' water consumption. With the construction of the Toya Gama Drinking Water Supply System (SPAM Toya Gama) in 2014, the academic community at Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) gained improved access to clean drinking water, which is expected to impact overall health positively. This study aims to assess the effect of the SPAM Toya Gama installation as a drinking water source on the level of plain water consumption among UGM students in Yogyakarta. Methods: This was an observational study with a cross-sectional study design. The research was conducted on UGM undergraduate students in the 2018 class with a sample of 154 students taken by clustered sampling. Results: The average consumption of plain water was 1,665.76 ± 502.17 mL. Students who have used the SPAM Toya Gama facilities tend to have a higher level of plain water consumption, 14.9122 times that of those who have never used Toya Gama SPAM. The total liquid consumption also influences the level of plain water consumption. Conclusion: The average consumption of plain water was 1,665.76 ± 502.17 mL. The installation of SPAM Toya Gama affects the plain water consumption of UGM students. Their total fluid consumption also influences students' consumption of plain water.

Abstract

Purpose: The first timely antenatal care can detect complications during early pregnancy, such as hemorrhage, anemia, diabetes, and other infectious diseases. The province of Papua has the three lowest antenatal care K1 coverage areas, at 56.02%, and Jayapura city has an antenatal care K1 coverage of 51.49%. Methods: This research employed a mixed-methods approach using a sequential explanatory design. In the first stage, a quantitative approach was conducted using a cross-sectional research design. In the second stage, a qualitative approach was applied through in-depth interviews. Results: Multivariable analysis showed that unintended pregnancies were 2.8 times more likely to result in delayed first antenatal care visits compared to planned pregnancies (AOR 2.62; 95% CI: 1.23–6.25), after controlling for partner/spouse support, exposure to mass media, gestational interval, and education level. Interview findings revealed that other contributing factors to delayed first antenatal care visits included low awareness about the importance of timely care, being too busy, and a lack of knowledge regarding the benefits of antenatal care. Conclusion: The importance of family planning counseling for reproductive women is to manage and plan their pregnancies.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of health promotion in controlling NCDs. Methods: This study was conducted using a literature review method. A search was performed on PubMed using the keywords "effective," "health promotion," and "NCD." The initial search yielded 51 articles, which were then screened and narrowed down to 10 articles published within the last five years. These selected articles were further reviewed and analyzed. A narrative synthesis was conducted based on the types of findings to present evidence on the effectiveness of health promotion in addressing non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Results: Health promotion has proven to be effective in reducing NCD risk factors, which include unhealthy eating patterns, tobacco use, physical activity, and alcohol use. The health promotion methods used include the use of media (i.e., TV, magazines, and leaflets), social media (WeChat), policies (healthy food labels and healthy schools), education on the importance of early physical activity, peer education programs through cadres, and community empowerment. Health promotion programs were carried out in communities, workplaces, and schools. This review suggested that schools were ideal places to instill healthy behaviors from an early age. Health promotion interventions also need to consider gender. Conclusion: Health promotion was effective in reducing risk factors when implemented using multiple methods simultaneously. Schools were recommended as a place to start developing positive habits that reduce NCD risk factors.

Abstract

Purpose: One of the key barriers to exclusive breastfeeding is the increasing number of mothers who work outside the home. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between maternal employment and exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia using data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) 4 and 5. Methods: This study employed an analytic observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of women aged 15–49 years who were never married and currently breastfeeding. Data from IFLS 4 and 5 were analyzed using Chi-square tests and logistic regression to examine the relationship between maternal employment status and exclusive breastfeeding. Results: The percentage of exclusive breastfeeding increased by approximately 10% between 2007 and 2014 (from 10.4% to 22%). During the same period, the percentage of working mothers also increased by about 20% (from 70.3% to 95.2%). In 2007, the highest proportion of breastfeeding working mothers was among private employees (13.5%), while in 2014, it was among those working in informal agricultural jobs (39.3%). There was no statistically significant relationship between maternal employment status in general and exclusive breastfeeding (p>0.05). However, there was a significant association between knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding practices (p<0.05). Conclusion: Exclusive breastfeeding rates in Indonesia are affected by maternal knowledge about exclusive breastfeeding.
