A prospective study design with total of 25 participants. The sampling technique used was consecutive sampling.

Abstract

Family knowledge and attitudes regarding balanced nutrition in children and toddlers play a crucial role in preventing stunting. This study aims to analyze family knowledge and attitudes towards balanced nutrition and its relationship with stunting prevention in Desa Regemuk, Pantai Labu Sub-district, Deli Serdang Regency. This research used a descriptive quantitative approach with a sample of 100 families who have children aged 0-5 years. Data were collected using questionnaires containing questions about family knowledge and attitudes related to balanced nutrition. The results showed that approximately 40% of families had good knowledge about balanced nutrition, while 60% had limited knowledge. However, most families demonstrated positive attitudes towards providing nutritious food for their children. Economic factors were identified as the main barrier to implementing balanced nutrition in families with lower-middle-income status. The study concludes that to reduce stunting prevalence, there is a need to improve knowledge about balanced nutrition and provide accessible nutritious food for families in rural areas.

Abstract

Appearance is one of the important factors for humans in living their lives. However, each individual's perception of their own body tends to be inconsistent with the good anthropometric body standards. This body image perception is closely related to lifestyle, diet, physical activity, and environment. This study aims to explore the body image perception of workers in Jayapura City. This research is an exploratory study to gain an in-depth understanding of the body image perception of workers in Jayapura City. The subjects of this study were 379 workers domiciled in Jayapura City. Data was collected using a body image perception questionnaire and anthropometric measurements were conducted on the workers. The results showed that 53% of respondents were female, 60% were in the early working-age category, and 47% worked as civil servants, military personnel, police officers, or employees of state-owned enterprises. Furthermore, most respondents had normal nutritional status (60%) and 87% had a negative body image perception. Cross-tabulation analysis found that a positive body image perception was mostly found among respondents with normal nutritional status. However, many respondents with normal nutritional status still had a negative body image perception. Further studies are needed to investigate the factors related to body image perception to develop interventions that improve workers' understanding of the ideal body shape.

Abstract

Hospital information systems are technologies used in hospital information management. Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital has kept up with technological developments by using HIS which is used to simplify the service process in the medical record unit from incoming patients to outpatients. The purpose of this study is to find out the overview based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) dementia, which is an information system theory of how users can accept and utilize technology. The RME evaluation considers five perceptions, namely perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitude toward using, behavioral intention, and actual technology use. The method of this study is quantitative description research and the object of this study is 96 Hospital Information System (HIS) respondents. The results of this study show that as many as (61.5%) respondents who received HIS and (38.5%) who have not received HIS with details of the perceived ease of use HIS obtained (75%), perceived usefulnesss (70.8%), Attitude toward using was obtained (79.2%), behavioral intention was obtained (62.5%) and in terms of Actual Technology Use as many as 70.8% used every day with a duration of 3 hours per day. It can be concluded that the perception of HIS users has gone well and provided benefits for officers including increased productivity in doing work, but there are still several shortcomings so that there is a need for monitoring and socialization of users who are still not skilled in using HIS and developing HIS features that are more responsive to the needs of health workers and improving technological infrastructure so that HIS can run more easily.

Abstract

Dunstan Baby Language (DBL) identifies five distinct infant vocalizations (“neh”, “owh”, “eh”, “eairh”, “heh”), each associated with a specific need. An Android application, Madzas, translates these vocalizations, aiding caregiver understanding. This study, conducted within a Community Service (PKM) program focused on village community development, investigated the impact of Madzas on the accuracy of care provided to infants by first-time mothers in the Bangetayu Public Health Centre Service Area. This true experimental study, employing a case-control approach, was conducted in the Bangetayu Public Health Centre Service Area, Semarang city. The study population consisted of primiparous mothers with infants aged 1-3 months, with a sample size of 46 mothers selected using purposive sampling. The participants were divided into case and control groups. The data were analysed using the Mann-Whitney U test, revealing a statistically significant effect (p < 0.05) of using the Madsaz application on the accuracy of care provided by the mothers. The findings indicated a high accuracy rate (z = 2.094) in treatment decisions among the mothers who used the application, supporting the hypothesis that the application positively influences caregiving accuracy in the studied population.
