Abstract

The triple burden of malnutrition (TBM), comprising undernutrition, overnutrition, and micronutrient deficiencies, remains a major nutritional challenge in Indonesia amid rapid economic growth and shifting dietary habits. This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of TBM and its association with maternal dietary patterns using data from 1,005 mother–child pairs in the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey. Complex sample logistic regression was applied to account for the multistage sampling design. The prevalence of TBM was 4.3%. In children, 16.6% were underweight, 21.3% stunted, and 21.7% anemic, while 51.4% of mothers were overweight or obese and 15.0% anemic. Maternal dietary patterns were significantly associated with TBM risk, whereby mothers who rarely or never consumed grilled or charred foods were more likely to belong to non-TBM families (AOR = 8.57; 95% CI: 1.43–51.29; p = 0.018), as were those with moderate consumption (AOR = 4.78; 95% CI: 1.09–20.98; p = 0.038). In contrast, rare consumption of meat, poultry, or fish products with preservatives (AOR = 0.13; 95% CI: 0.02–0.95; p = 0.043) and fruits or fruit-based products (AOR = 0.19; 95% CI: 0.06–0.61; p = 0.005) was associated with a higher likelihood of TBM. A non-linear association was observed for flavor enhancers, where moderate consumption was linked to lower odds of TBM (AOR = 0.33; 95% CI: 0.15–0.73; p = 0.006), whereas rare consumption increased the likelihood of belonging to non-TBM families (AOR = 2.79; 95% CI: 1.04–7.48; p = 0.041). Additionally, moderate consumption of fats and oils was positively associated with TBM risk (AOR = 2.94; 95% CI: 1.01–8.54; p = 0.047). In conclusion, maternal dietary patterns significantly influence TBM risk among Indonesian families.

Abstract

Emotional literacy is critical for children’s psychosocial well-being and particularly challenging among migrant children facing displacement and cultural stressors. This pre-experimental study evaluated the immediate changes of a play-based psychoeducation program on emotional literacy among 30 Indonesian migrant children aged 9–15 years in Malaysia. Using a one-group pretest–posttest design, participants completed the validated Emotional Literacy Questionnaire before and after intervention. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests showed a significant improvement in total emotional literacy scores from 11.53 ± 0.54 to 13.30 ± 0.49 (p = 0.009, r = 0.47). Children improved in recognizing emotions, applying emotional knowledge to case studies, and employing adaptive regulation strategies. The findings provide preliminary evidence suggesting that culturally congruent, play-based psychoeducation may support improvements in emotional competence among migrant children. Nursing professionals can incorporate such interventions to promote psychosocial adaptation in school and community settings.
