Abstract

Background: Stunting is a condition of growth failure in children under five due to chronic malnutrition, particularly during the first 1,000 days of life. It is characterized by a shorter height compared to other children of the same age. The prevalence of stunting at Simpang Kawat Health Center in 2023 was recorded at 5.2%. However, low participation in child growth monitoring and maternal health programs indicates a lack of knowledge about stunting prevention. This study aims to quantitatively assess the knowledge level of mothers with children under two years old regarding stunting and the first 1,000 days of life. Method: This research used a quantitative cross-sectional study design. Data were collected using structured questionnaires distributed to 30 mothers at Simpang Kawat Health Center. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods, including frequency distribution and percentage analysis, to assess respondents' knowledge levels. Result: The study revealed that 36.67% of respondents had a low level of knowledge about stunting, 46.67% had a moderate level, and only 16.66% demonstrated a good level of knowledge. The analysis showed that factors contributing to low knowledge levels included limited health education media, insufficient health worker resources, and low participation in posyandu and pregnancy classes. Conclusion: The findings indicate that the knowledge of mothers about stunting and the first 1,000 days of life is still inadequate. It is recommended that health centers implement more effective educational interventions, such as digital health campaigns, video-based learning, and interactive posyandu sessions, to enhance maternal awareness and participation in stunting prevention programs.

Abstract

Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis is a preventable infectious disease, but according to 2022 data, pulmonary TB ranks second in causing deaths worldwide after the coronavirus (COVID-19). Household environmental conditions are thought to play a role in its transmission. This study aims to determine the relationship between lighting, humidity, and ventilation in homes and the incidence of pulmonary TB at the Pakuan Baru Community Health Center, Simpang Kawat Community Health Center, and Paal X Community Health Center in 2024. Method: This research uses a case-control design with a sample of 104 respondents (26 cases, 78 controls) in three community health center areas. Lighting and humidity measurements were taken using a lux meter and hygrometer, while windows were measured using observation sheets. Data were analyzed univariately and bivariately using the Chi-Square test with Odds Ratio (OR). Results: Most homes of TB patients have inadequate environmental conditions. Analysis shows a significant relationship between inadequate humidity (OR=54.86; 95% CI:11.60-259.52; p<0.001), inadequate lighting (OR=13.83; 95% CI: 4.61-41.52; p<0.001), and lack of windows (OR=4.29; 95% CI: 1.62-11.35; p=0.002) with TB incidence. Conclusion: Poor household environmental conditions, such as humidity, lighting, and window conditions, are risk factors for TB. It is recommended that TB prevention programs integrate the promotion of household environmental improvements.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: Antimicrobial resistance mediated by the blaCTX-M gene in Escherichia coli represents a major global public health threat, while molecular epidemiological surveillance data from environmental sources in Indonesia remain highly limited. This is study aimed to analyze the molecular epidemiology of the blaCTX-M gene in environmental Escherichia coli isolates from Indonesia using a genomic surveillance approach based on publicly available genome data and Linux-based bioinformatics pipeline. Method: This quantitative descriptive study employed a comparative genomics and phylogenomic analysis design based on an in silico approach. The study included 86 Escherichia coli genome assemblies retrieved from the EnteroBase database using the selection criteria of Environment as the source niche and Indonesia as the country of origin. Data analysis was performed using QUAST, Prokka, AMRFinderPlus, ABRicate, MLST, Snippy, IQ-TREE, and FastTree on the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS operating system. Result: All isolates met the assembly quality criteria, and the analytical pipeline was validated using both positive and negative controls. Most isolates originated from water and river samples, with the highest number collected in 2019. The blaCTX-M subtypes were predominantly assigned to the CTX-M-1 group (88,2%), particularly CTX-M-15 and CTX-M-55, while resistome profiling revealed a multidrug-resistant pattern. Sequence type ST2 and ST471 were the most prevalent, and although the genomic population was highly heterogeneous, four clonal clusters were identified. Conclusion: These findings highlight the need for sustained deposition of environmental Escherichia coli genome data from Indonesia with more balanced temporal and geographic representation to strengthen the national One Health-based genomic surveillance system for antimicrobial resistance.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: Health literacy plays a pivotal role in the effective management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), influencing patients' ability to understand health information, adhere to treatment, and adopt healthy lifestyles. Limited health literacy has been associated with poor glycemic control, increased risk of complications, and higher healthcare utilization. This study aimed to assess health literacy among patients with T2DM and identify sociodemographic factors associated with health literacy in a primary health care setting in Jambi, Indonesia. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 170 patients with T2DM attending Puskesmas Putri Ayu, Jambi, Indonesia, between January and March 2025. Participants were recruited using consecutive sampling. Data were collected through interviewer-administered structured questionnaires assessing sociodemographic characteristics and diabetes-related health literacy. Health literacy was categorized as poor, moderate, or good based on the total questionnaire score. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, and multivariable logistic regression were used to analyze the data.. Result: Among the 170 participants, 61.8% were female and 35.3% were aged 51–60 years. Most respondents had completed secondary education (58.8%). Poor health literacy was identified in 57.6% of participants, while 30.6% demonstrated moderate health literacy and only 11.8% had good health literacy. Educational attainment, age, employment status, and family history of diabetes were significantly associated with health literacy (p < 0.05). Higher educational attainment was the strongest predictor of adequate health literacy.. Conclusion: Most patients with T2DM attending primary health care demonstrated inadequate health literacy. Strengthening patient-centered educational interventions tailored to patients' educational backgrounds and individual needs is essential to improve diabetes self-management and support better health outcomes.
