Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are one of the leading causes of death in Indonesia, including in Tasikmalaya city, with an increasing prevalence. This study aims to analyze the capacity of health promotion interventions in the prevention and control of NCDs in Tasikmalaya city. The methodology used was a cross-sectional survey involving 31 health promotion program managers at puskesmas. Data were collected through a 2010 WHO capacity mapping instrument questionnaire, with eight domains of health promotion capacity. The results showed that the average capacity of health promotion interventions was at developmental level C, meaning that the program had begun to be implemented, but its impact could not yet be clearly assessed. There was a significant shortfall in the number of human resources trained specifically for NCD health promotion, as well as low budget allocations. The variation in respondents' ratings suggests the need for better evaluation and monitoring of the program's effectiveness. Based on these findings, the study recommends improving HR training, developing more targeted policies, increasing financing, and strengthening collaboration with various stakeholders. With these measures, it is hoped that efforts to prevent and control NCDs in Tasikmalaya City can be more effective and sustainable, thereby reducing the burden of disease in the community.

Abstract

Background: Infant development and growth are natural processes that can be supported by good nutrition coverage. Providing complementary foods for breast milk is an effective way to improve development and infant growth since the age of 6 months. However, in reality, there are still many mothers who do not know about infant nutritional needs causing infant nutritional needs to be unmet. Therefore, health education is very important to improve mothers' knowledge and attitudes so that infant nutritional needs are met. Objective: To determine the effect of health education about complementary foods for breast milk on the knowledge and attitudes of mothers of infants aged 0-6 months. Method: This study used a pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design method. The population in this study were mothers who had infants aged 0-6 months total of 29 people. The sampling technique used a purposive sampling technique total of 25 people. The collection of research data was carried out by distributing questionnaires 2 times, namely before health education (pre-test) and after health education (post-test). The data analysis technique used univariate tests and the Paired Sample T-test. Results: The results of the study before health education were given showed that the majority of mothers' knowledge regarding the provision of complementary foods was in the sufficient category, namely 14 people (56%), while the majority of mothers' attitudes were in the positive category, namely 15 people (60%). After being given health education, the mothers' knowledge regarding the provision of complementary foods increased to the good category, namely 20 people (80%), and positive category attitude, namely 23 people (92%). Conclusion: From the results of the study, it can be concluded that health education greatly influences the increase in mothers' knowledge and attitudes regarding complementary foods.

Abstract

Background: Lower back pain is joint among pregnant women, especially in the third trimester, affecting around 70% in Indonesia. This discomfort significantly impacts daily activities and quality of life. Endorphin massage, a light touch technique that stimulates the release of the body's natural pain-relief hormones, and warm compresses, which use heat to reduce pain, are two methods to address this issue. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of these methods on lower back pain intensity in third-trimester pregnant women. Using a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-test post-test approach, 15 pregnant women were selected from a population of 51 through purposive sampling. Pain intensity was measured on the first and third days using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Results showed a significant reduction in pain intensity, from an average of 5.40 before the intervention to 1.60 after. A paired sample T-test yielded a p-value of 0.000, indicating a significant effect of endorphin massage and warm compresses on reducing lower back pain in third-trimester pregnant women at the Karikil Community Health Center Work Area

Abstract

One of the benchmarks for the success of a country's development is improving the quality of life, which is one of the main prerequisites in developing human resources (HR). One of the causes of the high maternal mortality rate is because the mother experiences obstetric complications. Complications of pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum are conditions that cause health problems in pregnant women, mothers giving birth, mothers in the postpartum period, or fetuses in the womb. This condition can occur directly or indirectly, including due to infectious or non-infectious diseases that have the potential to endanger the lives of the mother and fetus. Talango Health Center itself has a tourist post. The Tourist Post (integrated movement to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality) is a new innovation carried out by the Talango Health Center. This innovation is carried out by village representative cadres in Talango sub-district, each village appoints 2 cadres as representative cadres, the 2 cadres will become coordinators for the cadres in their village. Each cadre monitors high-risk pregnant women, babies and postpartum mothers to ensure that the condition of the mother and baby can reduce the risk of maternal and neonatal mortality. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the tourist guard program on the incidence of obstetric complications. This type of research is an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional design . The independent variables in the study include the tourist guard program which includes assistance for pregnant women, pregnancy classes, postpartum visits and transportation. While the dependent variable in this study is the incidence of obstetric complications. The population in this study were all fertile couples in the Talango Health Center work area totaling 6910 people. The sample size used a cross-sectional sample size of 73 people with a simple random sampling technique. The bivariate analysis in this study used a simple regression test. The results of the simple regression test between assistance for pregnant women, pregnancy classes and postpartum visits with the incidence of obstetric complications had a significant effect. While for the results of the data analysis of pregnant women who received pick-up and drop-off services, there was no effect between receiving pick-up and drop-off services for pregnant women to do ANC with the incidence of obstetric complications. The conclusion of this study is that there is an effect of the tourist guard program on the incidence of obstetric complications

Abstract

Based on the results of the Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey, the incidence of stunting in 2021 was 24.4%, and it decreased to 21% in 2022. The government continues to strive to reduce the stunting rate with a target of 14% by 2024. In 2022, the National Population and Family Agency (BKKBN) innovated through the Elsimil application to reduce the stunting rate. This study is relevant to the government's efforts to reduce the incidence of stunting. The primary objective of this study is to assess the application of Elsimil in women as prospective brides and mothers to prevent stunting. This research aims to analyze the application of Elsimil in increasing the knowledge and attitudes of teenagers regarding the prevention of stunting in Cirebon City. This is a quantitative research study, a type of quasi-experimental research with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The population is late adolescents (15-19 years old). The sample consisted of 30 young women aged 15-19 years, selected using purposive sampling. The research instrument uses a questionnaire. Univariate analysis uses frequency distribution. Bivariate analysis of the Marginal Homogeneity test for the knowledge variable yields a p-value of 0.00. The McNemar test for the attitude variable yields a p-value of 0.00. There are significant differences in knowledge and attitudes between those who used the Elsimil application before counseling and those who used it after counseling. The Elsimil application can serve as an alternative educational medium for teenagers to help prevent stunting.
