Abstract

Background: Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that has a serious impact on children's growth and development, particularly during the first 1,000 days of life. Community-based health efforts are essential in preventing stunting, with Posyandu cadres playing a key role at the grassroots level. Purpose: to analyze the roles and duties of Posyandu cadres in implementing stunting prevention programs, Method: This research employed a quantitative design using a Chi-Square analysis approach to examine the relationship between the roles and duties of Posyandu cadres and stunting prevention efforts. Results: The results showed a significant relationship between all roles and duties of Posyandu cadres and stunting prevention efforts, as indicated by P-values < α for all analyzed variables. These findings are supported by secondary data and previous studies demonstrating that active cadre involvement in education, monitoring, and nutritional interventions contributes substantially to reducing stunting prevalence. Conclusion: Posyandu cadres have a strategic and significant role in stunting prevention within the community through education, monitoring, and direct nutritional interventions.

Abstract

Background: Postpartum urinary dysfunction, particularly postpartum urinary retention (PPUR), is a common obstetric complication reflecting impaired bladder recovery in the early postpartum period. Postpartum urinary retention (PPUR) results from multifactorial mechanisms, including physiological changes during pregnancy, mechanical and intrapartum factors such as prolonged labor and obstetric interventions, and maternal characteristics. Purpose: to evaluates the pathophysiology of PPUR and factors influencing postpartum bladder recovery. Method: The literature search was carried out using several electronic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. Articles were searched using keywords adjusted to the research topic, including postpartum urinary retention, voiding dysfunction, postpartum bladder function, pregnancy, labor, and maternal and fetal factors on urinary retention. These keywords were combined using Boolean operators (“AND”, “OR”) to obtain relevant literature, either used individually or in combination Results:Evidence indicates that unrecognized or poorly managed PPUR may lead to bladder overdistension, detrusor dysfunction, recurrent urinary tract infections, and long-term voiding impairment, although most cases resolve with timely and appropriate management. Conclusion: A comprehensive understanding of these factors enables identification of high-risk women and implementation of effective bladder care strategies to reduce postpartum urological morbidity.

Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a major nutritional problem in Indonesia and significantly impacts human resource quality. Purpose: to examine various nutritional interventions that influence the reduction of stunting prevalence among toddlers. Method: A literature review was conducted by searching articles from PubMed, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and Research Gate. Literature selection was carried out systematically and analyzed narratively. Results: A review of 38 articles showed that supplementation interventions such as SQ-LNS, LNS, and RUSF were the most effective in reducing stunting prevalence by 10–16%, especially when provided to children aged 6–24 months along with nutrition education. Locally based supplementary feeding (PMT) also had a positive effect, particularly when combined with fortification and education. Educational and community-based interventions played an important role in improving compliance and the sustainability of nutrition programs. Conclusion: The combination of nutritional supplementation and education is the most effective strategy for reducing stunting among toddlers.

Abstract

Background: Caesarean section (CS) is a common surgical procedure associated with postoperative wound complications if wound care is not optimally managed. Patient education plays a crucial role in improving mothers’ knowledge and supporting postoperative wound management, Purpose:  This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of wound care education on knowledge level and wound healing outcomes among post-caesarean section mothers, Method: A quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent control group pretest–posttest design was conducted. Thirty post-CS mothers were recruited using purposive sampling and divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received structured wound care education through leaflets and counseling, while the control group received standard education. Data were collected using a knowledge questionnaire and wound assessment (REEDA score). Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, Results: The results showed a significant improvement in knowledge levels among mothers in the intervention group after receiving wound care education. However, no significant difference in wound healing outcomes was found between the intervention and control groups at the posttest, as all participants demonstrated good wound healing conditions, Conclusion: Wound care education effectively improves knowledge among post-caesarean section mothers but does not significantly affect short-term wound healing outcomes. Integrating structured wound care education into routine nursing care is recommended to support self-care and prevent postoperative complications.

Abstract

Background: Various serious problems resulting from the lack of spiritual support for the elderly in nursing homes, particularly in mental health, impact their overall quality of life. Fulfilling spiritual support, as a value system that provides them with strength, hope, and meaning in life, as well as acceptance of the impact of aging, is crucial in maintaining inner peace, meaning in life, and the ability to adapt to the limitations of old age. Purpose: to analyze the relationship between spirituality and the quality of life of the elderlyMethod: This research is a descriptive correlational design using a cross-sectional approach. A population of 67 elderly people, a sample of 30 of whom were selected using purposive sampling techniques. The instruments used were the Daily Spirituality Scale (DSELS) and the modified World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale (WHOQOL-BRELF). Data analysis was conducted bivariately with a chi-square test at the confidence level (α = 0.05).Results: The results of the study showed that the majority of elderly people had a low level of spirituality (11 people) (40%) and a low quality of life (21 people) (70%). The chi-square test obtained a p-value of 0.023 (<0.05).Conclusion: It is necessary to provide guidance on routine spiritual activities, spiritual counseling sessions, and facilitate communication and visits from families. For the elderly, it is recommended to be more active in participating in activities organized by the foundation and to be proactive in establishing social and spiritual relationships, as an effort to improve the mental well-being and improve the quality of life of the elderly.

Abstract

Background: Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in pregnant women remains a public health problem in Indonesia and contributes to an increased risk of pregnancy complications, low birth weight, stunting, and maternal and perinatal mortality. One effort to improve the nutritional status of pregnant women with CED is through structured and ongoing nutrition education. Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of nutritional education on weight gain in pregnant women with Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED). Method: This study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The study was conducted at the Helen Tarigan Clinic from March to May 2025. A sample of 25 pregnant women with special needs was selected using a total sampling technique. The intervention, in the form of nutritional education, was provided in a structured manner through counseling and educational media. Weight data were measured before and after education, then analyzed using a paired t-test with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: The average weight of pregnant women before nutrition education was 45.2 ± 2.8 kg and increased to 47.1 ± 2.7 kg after education. There was a difference in weight gain of 1.9 kg. The statistical test results showed a p-value of 0.001, indicating a significant effect of nutrition education on weight gain in pregnant women with CED. Conclusion: Nutrition education has a significant impact on weight gain in pregnant women with Chronic Energy Deficiency, so it is important to implement it as part of antenatal care.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem among toddlers and remains a major public health concern. A history of infectious diseases is considered an important factor contributing to stunting. Purpose: This study aimed to review the association between infectious disease history and stunting in toddlers through a literature review. Method: A total of 25 national and international research articles were analyzed, most of which used case-control and cross-sectional designs. Results: The findings show that the majority of studies reported a significant association between infectious diseases particularly diarrhea, Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI), and intestinal parasitic infections and stunting (p < 0.05), with a 2–7 times higher risk. Longer duration and recurrent infections increase the risk of stunting by impairing nutrient absorption. However, several studies reported no significant association due to differences in respondent characteristics and confounding factors. Conclusion: Overall, stunting is a multifactorial condition requiring comprehensive prevention strategies.

Abstract

Background: Adolescent obesity is an increasing public health problem influenced by lifestyle factors such as gadget use and sleep patterns. Excessive gadget use may promote sedentary behavior, while insufficient sleep can disrupt metabolic processes and increase the risk of weight gain among adolescents. Purpose: to analyze the relationship between gadget use, sleep patterns, and the incidence of obesity among adolescents. Method: This study employed a descriptive correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of all students in grades 7–9 at MTs Darul Ihsan and SMP Muhammadiyah 3 Samarinda. A total sampling technique was used, involving 152 respondents. Data were collected through anthropometric measurements to determine obesity status based on Body Mass Index (BMI) and self-administered questionnaires to assess gadget use duration and sleep patterns. Data analysis included univariate and bivariate analyzes using the Pearson Chi-Square test. Results: The majority of respondents were 13 years old (43.4%) and female (73.7%). Most adolescents had a high duration of gadget use (67.8%), and 50.7% experienced insufficient sleep duration (< 8 hours per day). Based on BMI measurements, 32.2% of respondents were classified as obese. Bivariate analysis showed no statistically significant relationship between gadget use and obesity (p-value = 0.075; OR = 2.020; 95% CI = 0.814–1.643). However, a statistically significant association was found between sleep patterns and obesity (p-value = 0.013; OR = 2.426; 95% CI = 0.756–1.833). Adolescents with insufficient sleep had approximately 2.4 times higher odds of being obese compared to those with normal sleep duration. Conclusion: Sleep patterns are significantly associated with obesity among adolescents, whereas gadget use does not show a statistically significant relationship. Since adolescent obesity is a multifactorial condition, comprehensive prevention strategies involving schools, healthcare providers, and families are necessary to promote healthy sleep habits and balanced lifestyles.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem in toddlers that has long-term impacts on physical growth, cognitive development, and the quality of human resources. One of the factors that plays a crucial role in preventing stunting is maternal knowledge, as mothers play a key role in ensuring nutritional needs, parenting patterns, and monitoring children's growth and development. Purpose: To determine the relationship between the level of maternal knowledge and the incidence of stunting in toddlers in the working area of ​​the Bonebobakal Health Center, Banggai Regency, Central Sulawesi Province. Method: This study used a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The study was conducted from August to October 2025, with a population of 412 mothers with toddlers. A sample of 80 mothers was selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire to measure maternal knowledge about stunting and anthropometric measurements to determine toddler stunting status based on WHO standards. Data analysis was performed using SPSS through univariate and bivariate analysis. Results: The results showed that most mothers had good knowledge about stunting. The incidence of stunting was higher among toddlers whose mothers had less knowledge than among mothers with good knowledge. Statistical tests showed a significant relationship between maternal knowledge and stunting in toddlers (p = 0.000). Conclusion: Maternal knowledge is significantly related to the incidence of stunting in toddlers and plays an important role in stunting prevention efforts.

Abstract

Background: Fish is a major source of essential nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, iodine, and high-quality protein, which are vital for healthy growth and development during childhood. The World Health Organization (WHO) and other international organizations recommend that infants begin consuming fish between 6 and 9 months of age and continue to consume it regularly once a week. However, there is slight variation among guidelines regarding the quantity and frequency of fish consumption for children. Based on data from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the average global per capita fish consumption tends to increase, with the latest data estimates showing around 20.5 kilograms per person per year. Global consumption of fish, excluding algae, has increased significantly. Purpose: to determine the fish-eating behavior of toddlers. Method: This study is a quantitative descriptive observational study with a cross-sectional design conducted in Adisara Village in November 2025. This study was conducted in the Adisara Village area as a fish processing center in the Banyumas region because some residents work as fish managers and sea fish sellers who fill some markets in the Banyumas Regency area. The population was all mothers of toddlers in Adisara Village totaling 152 people. Results: While sampling was carried out using a cluster sampling approach obtained a sample of 45 people. So based on the results of the questionnaire, it was obtained that the behavior of eating fish in toddlers tends to be less, namely in the frequency question section 1-3 times and a week and one of them is also supported by the lack of information about potential allergens and concerns about contaminants. This is also supported by the fact that the majority of mothers choose to introduce fish to toddlers after 12 months of age, partly due to the informational concerns discussed above. Conclusio: Therefore, specific education on this issue is needed to increase the quantity of fish consumed by toddlers.
