Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a public health problem in Indonesia, including in Palu City, Central Sulawesi, with prevalence increasing from 23.9% to 24.7% in 2022, remaining below the national target for stunting reduction. Several studies have shown that 22.9% of parents practice poor parenting practices, a factor contributing to the high incidence of stunting in toddlers. Purpose: To determine the relationship between parenting patterns and the incidence of stunting in toddlers in the work area of ​​Tawaeli Health Center, Palu City. Methods: This type of research is quantitative with a cross-sectional design. The study population was all toddlers aged 24–59 months in the Tawaeli Community Health Center working area. A sample of 70 respondents was selected using a purposive sampling technique, with the inclusion criteria being toddlers who had complete data regarding height and weight and mothers who were willing to be respondents. Data on family parenting patterns were collected using a structured questionnaire, while stunting status was determined based on anthropometric data. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test. Results: There was a significant relationship between family parenting patterns and the incidence of stunting in toddlers with a p value of 0.02 (p <0.05). Toddlers raised with poor parenting patterns had a higher risk of stunting than toddlers raised with good parenting patterns. Conclusion: Family parenting patterns are significantly associated with stunting in toddlers aged 24–59 months. Strengthening the family's role through education on appropriate parenting patterns needs to be a focus of pediatric and community nursing interventions in stunting prevention efforts.

Abstract

Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a significant public health problem in Indonesia, with increasing prevalence rates influenced by various factors, including knowledge and implementation of Mosquito Nest Eradication. While good knowledge is important, it does not always translate directly to a decrease in DHF cases, necessitating the active role of housewives as agents of health behavior change within the family environment. Purpose: To determine the relationship between housewives' knowledge and efforts to eradicate mosquito nests in the Wagir Community Health Center Work Area. Methods: This quantitative correlational study used a cross-sectional design. The study population consisted of 184 housewives, with a sample size of 126 housewives drawn using consecutive sampling. The inclusion criteria included housewives from Sidorahayu Village aged 26-45 years. The instrument used was a questionnaire on knowledge and prevention of mosquito nest eradication. Data analysis used the Spearman rank test. Results: There is a relationship between the knowledge of housewives and efforts to eradicate mosquito nests in the Wagir Health Center Working Area with a p value = 0.000 (p <0.05) accompanied by an r value = 0.704 where the correlation coefficient value shows a strong and positive relationship. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between housewives' knowledge and mosquito nest eradication efforts in the Wagir Community Health Center work area. Higher housewives' knowledge tends to be followed by better implementation of mosquito nest eradication efforts.

Abstract

Background: Smartphone addiction is increasing among adolescents and has the potential to lead to various psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem. Excessive smartphone use can also disrupt students' concentration in learning, the quality of their social relationships, and their emotional balance. Planned and sustained prevention efforts are needed to minimize the negative impacts of smartphone use on adolescents. In this regard, the school environment plays a very strategic role as a platform for education, character development, and the prevention of addictive behavior towards digital technology. Purpose: To determine the effect of school-based intervention programs in reducing levels of addiction, stress, anxiety, and depression in senior high school students in Banda Aceh City. Methods: The study used a quasi-experimental design with a control group. The sample size was determined through a power analysis with a medium effect size, power of 0.80, a 95% confidence level, and an alpha of 0.05. This resulted in 128 respondents, consisting of 64 students in the intervention group and 64 students in the control group, who were randomly selected. The study location was selected using cluster random sampling. The intervention, a school-based smartphone addiction prevention program, was implemented in four 50-minute sessions. The instruments used included the Korean Smartphone Addiction Proneness Scale (K-SAPS) to assess smartphone addiction and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) to assess psychosocial status. Results: There were significant differences between the intervention and control groups on the variables of smartphone addiction (p = 0.000), stress (p = 0.015), anxiety (p = 0.048), depression (p = 0.009), self-esteem (p = 0.000), and emotional status (p = 0.002) after the intervention. Conclusion: School-based smartphone addiction prevention programs have been shown to be effective in reducing levels of addiction, stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as increasing self-esteem and emotional stability in high school students

Abstract

Background:  The transformation of health services through the rebranding of Integrated Health Posts (Posyandu) as a community-friendly service positioned Posyandu as the primary hub for community-based health services, with a lifecycle approach, from pregnant women to the elderly. However, in Aceh Province, Posyandu's functioning still faces challenges such as limited funding, unequal capacity of cadres, and the suboptimal institutional role of the Posyandu Operational Working Group (Pokjanal) and Working Group (Pokja). Purpose: To compile policy recommendations in the form of a policy brief regarding the formation and strengthening of regulations for Pokjanal and Pokja Posyandu at the district/city level in Aceh. Methods: The research employed a strategic review approach based on a policy brief. Data were collected through focus group discussions (FGDs) and in-depth interviews with stakeholders, including the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Ministry of Health, the Health Office, the Community Empowerment Office, the Family Welfare Movement (PKK), the Integrated Health Service Post (Posyandu) working group (Pokjanal), and the National Population and Family Planning Board (BKKBN). Data were analyzed qualitatively through thematic synthesis to formulate policy recommendations. Results:  The findings show that 54% of Posyandu in Aceh are not yet active. Posyandu working groups at the district/city and sub-district levels are not yet functioning optimally, while Posyandu working groups at the village level are still limited. Synthesis of the results of FGDs and interviews resulted in nine policy recommendations, including: socialization of Posyandu's position as a Village Community Institution; affirmation of Posyandu's function as a forum for health and social activities; strengthening the role of working groups in services; increasing the capacity of cadres based on 25 basic competencies; structuring the management structure through Village Regulations/Village Decrees; strengthening lifecycle-based and cross-sectoral services; harmonizing regulations following Law No. 17/2023 concerning Health; and regulating cadre terms of office and incentives. Conclusion: Optimizing Posyandu in Aceh requires derivative regulations at the district/city level for the formation and strengthening of Pokjanal-Pokja, accompanied by clear institutional support and increasing the capacity of Posyandu cadres so that integrated health services can be sustainable.

Abstract

Background: Early detection of child growth and development plays a crucial role in ensuring children's readiness for formal education and preventing delays in intervention during the golden period of development. The reality in urban-rural transition areas shows that implementation is suboptimal due to low parental participation, limited teacher competency, and the limited availability of tested standardized instruments. Purpose: To describe the implementation of early childhood growth and development screening at Bungong Jaroe Kindergarten, Aceh Besar, and to identify factors related to the effectiveness of the screening. Methods: This descriptive research used a case study approach. The study population consisted of all children aged 4–6 years, teachers, parents, and PAUD administrators at Bungong Jaroe Kindergarten. Sampling used purposive sampling, including 20 children, 20 parents, 6 teachers, and 3 PAUD administrators, with inclusion criteria: children aged 4–6 years enrolled at Bungong Jaroe Kindergarten, teachers teaching for at least 1 year, and parents willing to be interviewed. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews, observations, and document reviews. The screening instruments used included the Child Development Card (KKA) and the Developmental Pre-Screening Questionnaire (KPSP), which had previously been tested for validity and reliability. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Implementation of growth and development screening at Bungong Jaroe Kindergarten is suboptimal, reflected in low parental participation only 50%, minimal teacher training, and limited use of standardized instruments. Children's nutritional status indicates a double burden of malnutrition, with 10% undernourished and 35% at risk of overnutrition. Factors related to screening effectiveness include teacher competence, parental awareness, instrument availability, and institutional support. Conclusion: Early detection of child growth and development at Bungong Jaroe Kindergarten remains limited. Strengthening teacher capacity, increasing parent participation, and developing an integrated monitoring system are needed to improve screening effectiveness.

Abstract

Background: Clean and Healthy Living Behavior in nursing students plays a strategic role not only in maintaining individual health but also as a foundation for developing promotive and preventive competencies that will be applied in nursing practice. Variations in characteristics such as gender and study period have the potential to be factors in the implementation of PHBS in students. Purpose: To find out the implementation of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior and the relationship between gender and study period of students with Clean and Healthy Living Behavior in the Diploma III Nursing Study Program in North Aceh, Poltekkes Kemenkes Aceh. Methods: This type of quantitative research uses an analytical approach and a cross-sectional design. The study population was all students of the Diploma III Nursing Study Program in North Aceh, Poltekkes Kemenkes Aceh, with a sample of 132 students selected using a proportional stratified random sampling technique. The instrument used was a Clean and Healthy Living Behavior questionnaire whose validity had been tested (r count value > r table). Data analysis included univariate and bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: There were 77.1% of students who had good Clean and Healthy Living Behavior implementation and 22.9% were in the poor category. The results of the bivariate analysis test showed a significant relationship between gender (p = 0.041) and study period (p = 0.032) with Clean and Healthy Living Behavior implementation in Diploma III Nursing Study Program students. Conclusion: The majority of Diploma III Nursing students demonstrate good practice of Clean and Healthy Living Behaviors. However, efforts are still needed to improve aspects such as regular health check-ups and physical activity. Furthermore, the length of study period has the potential to improve Clean and Healthy Living Behavior implementation, so a longer study period could provide a greater opportunity for optimal implementation.
