Abstract

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), stunting is a growth and developmental disorder in children caused by chronic malnutrition, recurrent infections, and inadequate psychosocial stimulation, characterized by a height-for-age index of < -2 SD. This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing the incidence of stunting among under-five children in Tanjung Morawa District, Deli Serdang Regency. This study employed an analytical survey with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 71 mothers with stunted children under five. Data were analyzed using bivariate analysis with the chi-square test and multivariate analysis using logistic regression. The results showed that nutritional intake (p=0.000), personal hygiene practices (p=0.027), utilization of health services (p=0.003), child care practices (p=0.003), and exclusive breastfeeding (p=0.032) were significantly associated with stunting incidence. Multivariate analysis revealed that nutritional intake was the most dominant factor (Exp(B)=31.212). In conclusion, all variables significantly influenced the incidence of stunting, with nutritional intake as the dominant factor. Improving child nutrition should be prioritized as a key strategy in stunting prevention.

Abstract

The Emergency Department (ED) is a hospital unit responsible for managing patients with emergency and life-threatening conditions, requiring a fast and accurate response time. However, the response time performance at the Emergency Department of RSUD Puri Husada Tembilahan has not been optimal. Data from January to March 2025 showed that out of every 10 patients, only 6–7 patients (60–70%) received treatment within the standard response time (0–10 minutes for red category, 30 minutes for yellow, and 60 minutes for green), while 3–4 patients (30–40%) did not meet the standard. This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing patient management response time in the Emergency Department of RSUD Puri Husada Tembilahan, Indragiri Hilir Regency, Riau. This study employed a mixed-methods approach with a quantitative sample of 40 nurses selected from a population of 66 using the Slovin formula, and 5 qualitative informants (2 physicians and 3 nurses). Data were collected through questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and observation. Quantitative data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses with multiple logistic regression, while qualitative data were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that knowledge, skills, facilities, and training had a significant influence on patient management response time in the ED, with knowledge identified as the most dominant factor. Meanwhile, motivation, workload, and patient condition were not significantly associated with response time. In conclusion, knowledge, skills, facilities, and training are key factors influencing response time in emergency patient management. It is recommended that hospitals enhance healthcare workers’ competencies through regular and structured training and ensure adequate facilities and infrastructure to improve the quality of emergency services.

Abstract

The Indonesian Adolescent Reproductive Health Survey reported that 33.2% of male adolescents and 9.1% of female adolescents had engaged in intimate touching, 53.8% of males and 36.7% of females had kissed, and 6.1% of males and 1.5% of females aged 15–19 years had experienced premarital sexual intercourse. This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing risky sexual behavior among adolescents in Langsa. This study employed a mixed-methods design using an explanatory sequential approach. The quantitative phase involved 143 adolescents selected through total sampling. The qualitative phase included nine informants: four adolescents, one vice principal for student affairs, one guidance and counseling teacher, and three parents. Quantitative data were analyzed using multiple logistic regression, while qualitative data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results of the chi-square test showed that attitude (p = 0.001), peer influence (p = 0.000), family role (p = 0.006), social media use (p = 0.000), and self-control (p = 0.003) were significantly associated with risky sexual behavior (p < 0.05). The most influential factor was social media use, with an odds ratio (OR) of 14.356. Qualitative findings supported these results, indicating that exposure to social media strongly influenced adolescents’ experiences and contributed to risky sexual behavior. In conclusion, attitude, peer influence, family role, social media use, and self-control significantly affect risky sexual behavior among adolescents in Langsa City. It is recommended that adolescents be more selective in their use of social media and strengthen their understanding of personal boundaries. Parents should improve communication and supervision, while schools should enhance reproductive health education through regular programs and counseling involving health professionals.

Abstract

The rapid development of technology has made social media an essential part of adolescents’ lives, not only as a means of communication but also as a platform for self-exploration and access to information, including sexual content. This study aims to analyze the influence of social media use on adolescents’ sexual behavior. This study employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of 320 adolescents, with a sample of 178 respondents selected using stratified random sampling based on the Slovin formula. Data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate methods. The results showed that there was a significant influence of social media usage intensity (p = 0.039), the role of teachers and parents (p = 0.014), and specific social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and WhatsApp (p = 0.001) on adolescents’ sexual behavior. Meanwhile, knowledge (p = 0.258) and attitudes (p = 0.835) did not show a significant influence. The most dominant variable affecting adolescents’ sexual behavior was the role of social media, with TikTok being the most influential platform. In conclusion, social media use and the social environment play an important role in shaping adolescents’ sexual behavior. Therefore, increased supervision and education from teachers and parents are necessary, along with strengthening digital literacy and reproductive health programs in schools as efforts to prevent risky sexual behavior among adolescents.

Abstract

Background : Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by disturbances in insulin secretion and action. Effective management of DM requires optimal blood glucose regulation, in which nutrition education plays a crucial role in enhancing the nutritional knowledge of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Objective : The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of nutrition education on nutritional knowledge and Random Blood Glucose (RBG) levels among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the service area of UPT Turikale Health Center, Maros Regency. Methods : The research design employed a quasi-experimental approach involving 30 respondents who were divided into two groups: an intervention group that received nutrition education through a nutrition booklet, and a control group that did not receive any education. Data were collected using a nutritional knowledge questionnaire and Random Blood Glucose (RBG) examination. Data analysis was performed using an Independent T-test with a significance level of p<0.05. Results : The intervention group showed a significant improvement in nutrition knowledge (p = 0.000), whereas the change in Random Blood Glucose (RBG) levels was not statistically significant (p = 0.701). Nevertheless, a shift in blood glucose categories toward normal levels was observed after the nutritional education. Conclusions : The intervention group demonstrated a significant improvement in nutritional knowledge (p=0.000), while the change in RBG levels was not statistically significant (p=0.701). However, there was a noticeable shift in blood glucose level categories toward the normal range following the nutrition education.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the determinants of Escherichia coli (E. coli) presence in household drinking water in Paduresan Hamlet, Imogiri, Bantul using a cross-sectional design involving 106 households selected through proportional random sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires, observational checklists, and laboratory examination of drinking water samples for E. coli. Bivariate analysis using the Chi-square test showed no significant association between mother’s education level (PR = 1.041; 95% CI: 0.872–1.242; p = 0.879), knowledge (PR = 0.926; 95% CI: 0.764–1.121; p = 0.572), attitudes (PR = 0.992; 95% CI: 0.835–1.179; p = 1.000), raw water protection (PR = 0.988; 95% CI: 0.820–1.191; p = 1.000), and drinking water storage practices (PR = 0.938; 95% CI: 0.784–1.123; p = 0.653) with the presence of E. coli in household drinking water, although a high prevalence of contamination was observed, with 83% of samples testing positive. The findings indicate that socio-demographic and behavioral factors were not significantly associated with E. coli contamination, suggesting that environmental and infrastructural factors may play a more dominant role in determining drinking water quality in the study area.

Abstract

Background: Type II diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia due to impaired insulin secretion or resistance. Nutrition education plays an important role in regulating diet and controlling blood glucose levels. Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of nutrition education on Blood Glucose Levels (GDS) and macronutrient intake in patients with type II diabetes mellitus. Methods: The study used a quasi experiment design with a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design. A total of 30 respondents were divided into two groups: 4-week nutrition education and no education controls. Data was collected through periodic blood glucose checks, and 24-hour food recalls.Results: Nutrition education had no significant effect on blood glucose levels during (p=0.701). However, there was a significant effect on changes in carbohydrate intake (p=0.002), while energy intake (p=0.133), protein (p=0.735), and fat (p=0.066) showed no significant change. Conclusion: Nutrition education does not have a significant effect on reducing blood glucose levels at any time, but it has a significant effect on increasing carbohydrate intake, although it is not optimal for energy, protein, and fat.

Abstract

Anemia in adolescent girls remains a significant public health problem in Indonesia, partly due to low adherence to consuming Iron Supplement Tablets (TTD). This study aims to analyze the effect of peer educator education on adherence to consuming TTD in adolescent girls at SMA Negeri 2 Sigi, Dolo District. This research used a quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group design. The sample consisted of 388 female students divided into intervention (n=194) and control (n=194) groups. The intervention group received peer educator education, while the control group received standard education. Data were collected using questionnaires on knowledge, attitudes, practices, and the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 (MMAS-8). Data analysis used the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test, Mann-Whitney U Test, and logistic regression. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge, attitudes, practices, and adherence to TTD consumption in the intervention group after peer educator education (p < 0.05). Comparison between the intervention and control groups showed significant differences, with peer educator education having a greater effect on improving adherence. This study concludes that peer educator education significantly improves adherence to consuming Iron Supplement Tablets in adolescent girls. Peer education approaches are recommended as an effective strategy for anemia prevention programs in schools.

Abstract

The screening policy for prospective brides and grooms is a strategic intervention to prevent stunting from upstream. This research aims to evaluate the implementation of the prospective bride and groom screening policy in Dolo District, Sigi Regency, in 2025. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, observation and documentation. The informants were determined purposively, consisting of 11 people including Community Health Center officers, KUA, cadres, and prospective brides and grooms. Analysis uses the Miles & Huberman model. The research results show that policy implementation is not optimal. The six variables of the Van Meter & Van Horn model are the main findings: (1) policy standards experience a reduction in meaning to administrative formality; (2) resources experience systemic deficits in medical logistics and budget; (3) the characteristics of implementing agents are characterized by procedural informality without local SOPs; (4) the implementer's attitude is positive but the workload is pressured; (5) fragmented interorganizational communications without fixed protocols; (6) socio-cultural conditions in the form of "good day" traditions are the main obstacle. The conclusion of this research is that the policy is administratively successful but not optimal in clinical substance. Strengthening regional regulations, data interoperability and incentives for officers is needed.
