<![CDATA[Background: Children's growth and development can be hampered due to the adverse effects of diarrhea. If diarrhea is not treated properly, it can even lead to death. Lack of personal and environmental hygiene is a trigger factor for diarrhea. The incidence of diarrhea in infants aged 1 month to 1 year was 31.4% and infants aged five years was 25.2%. In Indonesia, the number 1 cause of infant death is caused by vomiting diarrhea. Purpose: To describe the knowledge and attitude of mothers about handling diarrhea in toddlers. Method: Descriptive research, with a population of all mothers who have children under five. The sampling technique used in this study was accidental sampling of 30 people. Data collection was done by interview using a questionnaire. Data analysis using univariate analysis. Results: Based on the results of the study of Maternal Knowledge and Attitudes About Handling Diarrhea in Toddlers at Puskesmas Lumut Tapanuli Tengah, it can be concluded that the majority of mothers' knowledge is sufficient as many as 17 people (56.7%) and a positive attitude as many as 22 people (73.3%). Conclusion: based on the results of this study there are still mothers who have insufficient knowledge, with a negative attitude, so that health counseling efforts are needed about diarrhea and how to prevent it and the importance of parents maintaining personal hygiene and the environment as well as baby food handlers always pay attention to hand hygiene and eating and drinking utensils used by babies. ]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Indonesia is one of the countries with the highest population growth in the world. In an effort to reduce the birth rate, the government has implemented a mandatory family planning program for couples of childbearing age. This program not only reduces the birth rate but also improves maternal and child health. There are various contraceptive methods available. Family planning participants are given the freedom to choose the contraceptive method most appropriate for their individual circumstances. Purpose: To describe the extent of mothers' knowledge regarding contraceptive selection. Method: Descriptive design. All 120 women of childbearing age who accepted family planning constituted the study population. A total of 30 were sampled using accidental sampling. Results: 22 (73.3%) were categorized as lacking knowledge. This lack of knowledge impacts the community's limited ability to understand the importance of accepting family planning as an effort to reduce birth rates and improve maternal and child health. Conclusion: Contraceptive selection is not appropriate based on the number of children and age of women of childbearing age. Suggestion: Respondents are encouraged to seek information about long-term contraception. In order to conduct research to analyze the factors that influence the choice of contraceptives]]>

<![CDATA[Background: The postpartum period is an important time for physical and emotional recovery, during which breast care is necessary to help increase milk production. However, many postpartum mothers in the Pungpungan Community Health Center working area are unable to produce milk optimally. Some mothers say that their milk has not flowed smoothly until the third day, causing mastitis and sore nipples due to a lack of breast care. Purpose: To analyze the effectiveness of breast care techniques on breast milk production in postpartum mothers in the Pungpungan Health Center service area. Method: A pre-experimental study design using a one-shot case study design, with total sampling involving 21 respondents. The independent variable was breast care, and the dependent variable was postpartum mothers' breast milk production. Data collection instruments included observation sheets and questionnaires. Data processing utilized editing, coding, scoring, tabulation, and the Friedman test. Results: Of the 21 respondents, it was found that the majority (15 people, 71.4%) had low breast milk production before breast care, while the majority (18 people, 85.7%) had good breast milk production after breast care. The results of the Friedman test showed a p-value (Asymp. Sig 2) of 0.000, indicating that the breast care technique is effective in improving breast milk production in mothers. Conclusion: Breast care techniques are effective in promoting milk production. Postpartum mothers are expected to consistently practice the breast care techniques they have learned in order to increase and facilitate milk production.]]>

<![CDATA[Abstract Background: Stunting remains a major health problem in Indonesia. Although the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia has decreased from 37.2% to 21.6% in 2022, this figure still exceeds the WHO threshold of 20%. One major challenge in implementing programs is the number of children who are not reached by nutritional interventions, known as "lost contact." This group is vulnerable to being overlooked and not receiving adequate health services. Purpose: To develop a holistic, family- and village-based intervention model to address stunted children who are "lost contact". Method: This is an operational study using a mixed methods approach. A survey was conducted on 15 stunted children who were "lost contact." Quantitative and qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs) with mothers, cadres, and village officials. Analysis was descriptive and thematic. Results: The majority of children come from families with low education (40%) and incomes below the minimum wage (UMR) (46.7%). The main factors contributing to "lost contact" are lack of tracking, low maternal awareness, geographical access constraints, and social stigma. Meanwhile, mothers' knowledge of nutrition is generally low to moderate. Conclusion: Addressing stunting with lost contact requires a holistic, community-based approach, including active tracking, contextual education, adaptive logistics distribution, and locally based behavior change campaigns.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Stunting is one of the significant global issues hindering human development. The prevalence of stunted children under five is considered a public health concern when it reaches 20% or more. Stunting can be directly affected by infectious diseases, and immunization is an effective method to enhance immunity to prevent communicable diseases (diarrhea and ARI). Therefore, immunization plays an essential role in reducing stunting risks in children by preventing diseases, which can hinder children's growth and development. Purpose: This study aims to investigate the relationship between complete basic immunization history and the incidence of stunting in children under five years old in the working area of Ingin Jaya Public Health Center, Aceh Besar District. Method: This research employed a quantitative method with a descriptive-analytic approach and a cross-sectional study design. The study population consisted of all stunted children under five years old in the working area of Ingin Jaya Public Health Center, totaling 80 individuals. The sampling technique used was multistage cluster random sampling. Results: The findings indicated that a complete basic immunization history (p = 0.022) was significantly associated with stunting among children under five in the study area. Multivariable analysis among the variables studied at Ingin Jaya Public Health Center revealed that a complete basic immunization history was the most dominant factor influencing stunting, with the highest AOR value 0.183 (95% CI: 0.36–0.938). Conclusion: A significant relationship exists between a complete basic immunization history and the incidence of stunting among children under five in the working area of Ingin Jaya Public Health Center, Aceh Besar. Suggestion: It is recommended that the health center collaborate with community leaders to educate the public on the importance of complete basic immunization for children.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Anemia in pregnant women is a health problem that affects the mother and fetus. Compliance with antenatal care (ANC) visits and good diet play a role in preventing anemia. However, culture and community beliefs influence the diet of pregnant women, Transcultural Nursing emphasizes the importance of considering cultural factors in health services so that education is more effective. Purpose: To analyze the relationship between compliance with ANC visits Health Center. Method: The design of this study was correlational analytic with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 40 pregnant women in the third trimester selected by purposive sampling. Data was collected through medical record observations, diet questionnaires, and hemoglobin level examinations, then analyzed using the Chi-Square test. Results: ANC visits in pregnant women showed that 87.5% were non-compliant and were not significantly related to anemia (p = 0.496). Diet was mostly good (65%) and sufficient (35%), but also not significant for anemia (p = 0.232). Thus, diet remains a risk factor (OR = 4.167). A cultural approach is needed in education because beliefs about food taboos affect the nutritional intake of pregnant women. Conclusion: ANC visits and diet are not significantly related to the incidence of anemia, but diet remains a risk factor (OR = 4.167). Suggestion: Health workers need to implement Transcultural Nursing in nutrition education, adapting to local culture so that pregnant women understand the importance of nutrition and compliance with ANC visit.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Maternal mortality rates and infant mortality rates are very important indicators, with cases in Indonesia still relatively high. Low birth weight (LBW), defined as a birth weight of less than 2500 grams, remains one of the leading causes of infant mortality, accounting for 38.85% of total infant deaths in Indonesia. Purpose: To provide an overview of LBW cases among women of reproductive age (20-35 years) and women of high-risk age (<20 years or >35 years) at PONED. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study using secondary data from birth records with a sample of 95 live births. Conducted from November 2018 to February 2019. Results: Of the 7 LBW cases (7.4% of total births), 6 cases (8%) occurred in women of reproductive age and 1 case (6%) in women of high-risk age. This study shows a higher prevalence of LBW in the reproductive age group, which is counterintuitive compared to the general literature that identifies high-risk age as the main risk factor. This is most likely influenced by the numerical dominance of the reproductive age group in the sample, as well as the role of unmeasured confounding factors such as double burden, chronic fatigue, and socioeconomic disparities that affect access to and quality of antenatal care. Conclusion: This study concludes that LBW can occur in both age groups, but in this context, it is more prevalent in mothers of reproductive age. Therefore, a holistic screening approach that focuses on maternal age, as well as improving the quality of comprehensive antenatal care, is very important to reduce the incidence of LBW and improve the health of mothers and babies.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Examinations during pregnancy, such as HIV/AIDS screening, need to be carried out early. The transmission of the disease from mother to child should be a concern during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. This transmission can be prevented through early testing of pregnant women. The dominant factors influencing HIV/AIDS screening among pregnant women are their level of knowledge and attitudes. Purpose: To analyze differences in knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women regarding HIV/AIDS counseling at the Wede Ar'rachman Primary Clinic in Bandar Lampung. Method: This was a qualitative study using pre-experimental design and pre- and post-test group approaches. The study population was pregnant women. A sample of 30 respondents was selected using a purposive sampling technique. A questionnaire was used as the instrument. Data Analysis Using the Wilcoxon test. Results: Before the counseling session, 17 respondent (56.7%) had poor knowledge and 16 respondent (53.3%) had poor attitudes. After the counseling session, 24 respondent (80%) had good knowledge and 20 respondent (66.7%) had good attitudes. There was a difference in the level of knowledge of pregnant women regarding HIV/AIDS (p-value 0.000) and HIV/AIDS (p-value <0.05), and there was a difference in the level of attitudes of pregnant women regarding HIV/AIDS (p-value 0.000). Conclusion: There is an influence on the level of knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women regarding HIV/AIDS. It is hoped that all pregnant women will undergo HIV testing, and then clinic staff will provide ongoing education about HIV/AIDS.]]>
