Abstract

The increasing use of gadgets among preschool-aged children has become a growing concern for parents and educators. This study examines the relationship between parental knowledge levels and the intensity of gadget usage given to preschool-aged children. A cross-sectional design was employed, involving 52 parents of preschool-aged children selected through purposive sampling in an urban community. Data were collected using structured questionnaires that assessed parental knowledge levels regarding gadget usage and the frequency with which gadgets were provided to their children. Parental knowledge was categorized as either "adequate" or "inadequate," while gadget usage intensity was measured based on daily screen time reported by the parents. Statistical analysis was performed using Spearman's rank correlation test to determine the association between the two variables. The results revealed a significant relationship between parental knowledge levels and the intensity of gadget usage (p = 0.017). Parents with inadequate knowledge were more likely to allow higher gadget usage among their children compared to those with adequate knowledge. These findings suggest that enhancing parental awareness and understanding of the potential risks associated with excessive gadget exposure is crucial in promoting healthier developmental environments for preschool-aged children. Future interventions should focus on educating parents about appropriate gadget use and alternative activities to minimize screen time and support optimal child development.

Abstract

Background: The second highest MMR in Indonesia in 2023 was due to obstetric haemorrhage, which accounted for 17.16% of the total MMR of 4,129. One of the factors causing obstetric haemorrhage is anaemia. In 2023, the Indonesian Health Service Office reported that the proportion of anaemia in pregnant women in Indonesia was 27.7%, and in West Java in 2023 it was 10.44%. One of the non-pharmacological therapies to help overcome anaemia is the administration of date juice. Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of date juice administration on haemoglobin levels and blood glucose levels in pregnant women with anaemia. Method: This type of research is a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The population is pregnant women in the third trimester with anaemia. The sample in this study consisted of 20 people who were then given treatment. The sampling technique used purposive sampling. Bivariate analysis used the Wilcoxon test and Paired sample t test. Result: The results showed an increase in the average haemoglobin level before (10.11 g/dL) and after (11.60 g/dL) the providing of date juice. Meanwhile, the average blood glucose level before (96.30 mg/dL) and after (96.65 mg/dL) showed a slight increase. The results of the Wolcoxon test on haemoglobin levels showed a p value = 0.000, so there is a significant effect of date juice administration on haemoglobin levels. Meanwhile, from the results of the paired sample t test on blood glucose levels, the p value = 0.953, so there is no effect of date juice administration on blood glucose levels in pregnant women in the third trimester with anaemia. Conclusion: There is an effect of date juice on increasing haemoglobin levels and no effect on blood glucose levels in pregnant women in their third trimester with anaemia.

Abstract

Pesticide exposure can have various negative impacts on pregnant women, especially for fetal development so that it can cause low birth weight. This study aims to analyze the literature findings over the past five years related to the relevance of pesticide exposure to the incidence of low birth weight in agricultural areas. This research method uses a literature review of 10 selected articles. The databases used were ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and PubMed, with the keywords pesticides, low birth weight, and agriculture. A total of 10 articles were obtained, and they will go through the screening process through inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results showed that pregnant women in agricultural areas have a greater risk of being exposed to pesticides, which can have an impact on the growth and development of the fetus they are carrying. In addition, it can also cause a decrease in IGF1 levels, which can impact the incidence of LBW. Pregnant women can do prevention by minimizing the use of chemicals containing pesticides and using personal protective equipment. This study found that pesticide exposure can increase the risk of low birth weight incidence in agricultural areas, where most people, especially pregnant women in agricultural areas, feel the negative impact of pesticide exposure on the incidence of low birth weight

Abstract

Background: Maternal and child health problems are inseparable from socio-cultural and environmental factors in the community where they live. Whether we realize it or not, traditional beliefs and knowledge factors, such as concepts regarding various taboos, causal relationships, concepts about healthy and sick, and habits, sometimes have a positive or negative impact on maternal and child health (MCH). Objective: The aim is to analyze health behavior during the postpartum period, both those that conflict with or do not conflict with health in the Outer Baduy Tribe in Kanekes Village, Leuwidamar District, Lebak Regency, Banten Province. Methodology: This study uses a qualitative phenomenological method through a triangulation approach. It took data from 10 informants (6 key informants and 4 supporting informants), and saturation was achieved when no new information was obtained on the same question. Data collection could be stopped, and the number of informants was not increased. Data analysis in this study used the Colaizzi nine-step technique. Results: The results of the study showed that the culture of postpartum care in the Outer Baduy tribe is contrary to health, namely not being allowed to take a nap, the culture of nyanda for 7 days, the prohibition of consuming eggs and sea fish during the postpartum period, the use of octopus for 1-3 months and cleaning the vagina from back to front. Treatments that do not conflict are the mobilization process, urination and defecation, the breastfeeding process, and breast care. Conclusions: Postpartum care in the Outer Baduy tribe still includes treatments that are contrary to health, but some treatments are by evidence-based obstetrics.
