Abstract

Background: Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem with profound implications for the quality of human resources. Multiple factors, including parental knowledge, feeding practices, and environmental sanitation, influence this condition. The working area of the Buhit Community Health Center (Puskesmas Buhit) in Samosir Regency continues to face challenges in addressing stunting, making the identification of dominant factors essential for targeted interventions. Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between parental knowledge, feeding practices, and environmental sanitation with the incidence of stunting among children aged 24–59 months, and to identify the most influential factor in the Buhit Community Health Center service area, Samosir Regency, in 2025. Methods: This research employed an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population comprised all children aged 24–59 months (n = 577). A total of 88 respondents were selected using simple random sampling and the Slovin formula. Data were collected through questionnaires and anthropometric measurements, and analyzed using Chi-square tests and logistic regression. Results: Bivariate analysis revealed a significant association between parental knowledge (p = 0.000), feeding practices (p = 0.000), and environmental sanitation (p = 0.004) and the incidence of stunting. Multivariate analysis revealed that feeding practices were the most dominant factor (OR = 105.463; 95% CI = 13.888–800.848). This indicates that children with inadequate feeding practices have a 105.463-fold higher risk of stunting compared to those with good feeding practices. Conclusion: A significant relationship exists between parental knowledge, feeding practices, environmental sanitation, and the incidence of stunting. The most dominant factor is feeding practices. Therefore, stunting prevention interventions in this area should focus on improving parents’ understanding and implementation of appropriate feeding practices.

Abstract

The addition of inappropriate food additives (BTM) such as artificial sweeteners, and synthetic dyes which are added intentionally by food vendors is one of the problems that cause food not suitable for consumption because it can cause health problems. The purpose of this study was to analyze the dyes, sweeteners and E.coli in corn ice drinks sold in Pakam. The study design uses qualitative laboratory analysis. The population in this study is the corn ice traders in the city of Lubuk Pakam, amounting to 5 traders. The sample consisted of 5 traders who were in the Regent's Office, Galang Street, Segangular Field, Labu Beach and Ahmad Dahlan Street. The work procedure is by checking the coloring agent, sweetener and Escerichia coli examination. The results of laboratory tests revealed that the coloring agents in samples A and E contained Tartrazine and in samples B, C and D contained Tartrazine and Sunset Yellow, sweeteners were found in samples C and E and in samples A, B and D were not found to contain artificial sweeteners and 5 samples (100%) showed a total value of escerichia coli <3 APM / ml per ml sample. The conclusion in this study is that corn ice drinks sold in the city of Lubuk Pakam use coloring agents and sweetening agents that are permitted based on the Republic of Indonesia Ministerial Regulation No. 033 of 2012 and containing Escerichia coli of <3 APM / ml are still within the allowed limits in accordance with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) and the Head of Indonesian National Drug and Food Control Agency Regulation No. HK.00.06.1.52.4011.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to explore in more depth all matters related to the Health Promotion Strategy through the PHBS Programme, namely Health Education, Disease Prevention and Health Protection. This type of research is qualitative research. Research involves in-depth interviews, document review, and direct observation. The informants in this study were the Head of Public Health, the holder of the health promotion programme and the community in Sarolangun. In this study, triangulation was employed by asking questions to informants and by examining written documents and field circumstances to validate the interview results. Processing research data with the in-depth interview method. The results showed that the health education strategy had an impact on individual behaviour, achieved through mass media, collaboration with puskesmas, doctors, and community groups. The disease prevention strategy has a positive effect on increasing community awareness and participation in disease prevention through health screening programs, immunisation, and environmental hygiene campaigns, which elicit a positive community response. The health protection strategy focuses more on providing hygiene facilities, forming health protection policies, and collaborating across sectors. However, challenges such as limited infrastructure and low community compliance need to be addressed through educational approaches, facility expansion, and stricter supervision to ensure programme sustainability and greater community impact.

Abstract

Background: Based on the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (SKI) in Samosir Regency, the prevalence of stunting was 22.4%, with Palipi District recording the highest rate. As of August 2024, the incidence of stunting in Palipi District reached 14.34% (182 toddlers). Although there has been a decline, stunting remains a priority program in Samosir Regency. Objective: This study aims to analyze the risk factors associated with the incidence of stunting among toddlers in the working area of Mogang Public Health Center, Palipi District. Method: This research employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach conducted in the working area of Mogang Public Health Center in 2024. The study sample consisted of 93 mothers with toddlers, selected using accidental sampling techniques. Data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate (Chi-Square test), and multivariate (logistic regression) analyses. Results: The bivariate analysis revealed significant relationships between maternal nutritional status (p=0.000), parenting pattern (p=0.000), maternal education level (p=0.000), family income level (p=0.002), and household sanitation conditions (p=0.000) with the incidence of stunting. However, multivariate analysis identified only three dominant and independent variables: maternal education level (p=0.014; Exp(B)=26.410), parenting pattern (p=0.001), and household sanitation condition (p=0.023). Conclusion: Maternal education level, parenting pattern, and household sanitation are proven to be the dominant factors influencing stunting. Mothers with low education levels are 26 times more likely to have stunted children. Preventive efforts should prioritize interventions targeting these three factors through focused health education programs.

Abstract

Background: Bitter melon (Momordica charantia L.) is known to contain active compounds such as flavonoids, polyphenols, and vitamin C, which act as natural antioxidants. These compounds have potential as natural moisturizing agents that protect skin cells from damage caused by free radicals. Objective: This study aimed to formulate a cream scrub preparation containing the ethanolic extract of bitter melon fruit as a skin moisturizer and to determine the optimum concentration that produces the best formulation. Methods: This experimental laboratory study was conducted using various extract concentrations: F0 (blank), F1 (2.5%), F2 (3.5%), and F3 (4.5%). The formulations were evaluated based on organoleptic properties, pH, emulsion type, skin moisture, and irritation tests. Results: All formulations met the physicochemical requirements, showing stable organoleptic characteristics, pH values of 4.9–5.8, an oil-in-water (o/w) emulsion type, and no skin irritation. The F2 (3.5%) formulation demonstrated optimum results with a water content of 61.56% (very moist) and an oil content of 27.6% (neutral), indicating the best skin hydration capability compared to other formulations. Conclusion: The cream scrub containing the ethanolic extract of bitter melon (Momordica charantia L.) at a concentration of 3.5% (F2) is the optimum formula, providing the best moisturizing effect and proven safe for use. Further research is recommended to analyze free fatty acid content and antibacterial activity.
