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: Skin disorders are an important component of childhood morbidity. Islamic boarding schools are among the environments with a high risk of developing skin problems such as itching, redness, white spots, or bumps. One preventive measure to reduce the risk of skin diseases is maintaining good personal hygiene. This study aimed to describe personal hygiene and skin complaints among students. Method: This descriptive observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted at As’ad Islamic Boarding School, Jambi City, in November 2024. The sample consisted of 97 students who reported skin complaints. Results: Of the 97 participants, 61 students (62.9%) had good personal hygiene, while 36 students (37.1%) had poor personal hygiene. A total of 84 students (86.6%) reported itching, 53 students (54.6%) reported bumps, 36 students (37.1%) had red rashes, 20 students (20.6%) reported white/reddish spots, and the least frequently reported complaint was a hot or burning sensation (7 students; 7.2%). In addition, 38 students (39.2%) experienced recurrent complaints. Conclusion: Most students tended to have good personal hygiene, including maintaining cleanliness of the skin, hands, and nails, as well as clothing, towels, beds, and bed sheets. However, itching was the most common skin complaint among students at As’ad Islamic Boarding School.

Abstract

Background: Psychoactive substance abuse is a global health problem with physical, psychological, and social impacts. Final-year students are a vulnerable group to psychoactive substance use due to academic demands, stress, and environmental factors. However, research on the profile of psychoactive substance use among medical students is still limited, particularly at the University of Jambi. Research Objective: To determine the profile of psychoactive substance use among students preparing their thesis proposals in the Medical Study Program at the University of Jambi in 2025. Methods: This study used a descriptive design with a qualitative approach and was conducted from February to May 2025 at the Faculty of Medicine and Medicine, UNJA. A sample of 139 students was determined using the Slovin formula. The research instrument used the Indonesian version of the WHO-ASSIST questionnaire and was analyzed univariately to obtain the frequency distribution of psychoactive substance use. Results: Of the total person, 20 had used psychoactive substances in their lifetime, with the most common types of substances being cigarettes, alcohol, inhalants, and sedatives/sleeping pills. Use in the past 3 months was found in 14 individuals, predominantly cigarettes and alcohol. Three individuals reported receiving attention from others regarding their substance use habits, and three had unsuccessfully attempted to quit. No intravenous drug use was found. The most common substances used were cigarettes (14 individuals) and alcohol (8 individuals). Conclusion: Final-year medical students at the University of Jambi were found to have a history of psychoactive substance use, with the highest prevalence being cigarettes and alcohol. These results indicate the need for education and interventions to prevent psychoactive substance abuse in academic settings.

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.
