Abstract

The prevalence of stunting in the City of Makassar increased from 2022 to 2023. This is in contrast to the government's target to reduce stunting. Parenting patterns are parenting practices that influence a child's growth. One form of them is the feeding practices for toddlers. This research aimed to analyze the relationship between feeding practices and the incidence of stunting in 12-59 months toddlers at Tamalanrea Community Health Center Area. Research used quantitative methods with a cross sectional design on 53 samples of toddlers aged 12-59 months with respondents being mothers of toddlers. Samples were taken using a purposive sampling technique according to the inclusion criteria, toddlers who live in the Tamalanrea Health Center work area; aged 12-59 months; and cared for by mothers as primary caregivers. The exclusion criteria included toddlers with chronic diseases such as congenital heart disease, genetic disorders, allergies, and other chronic diseases that can affect linear growth; toddlers with autism or mental retardation; and mothers who refused to participate in the study. Data on the nutritional status of toddlers was collected by measuring body length using an infantometer or height using a stadiometer and data on feeding practices by mothers were collected using FPSQ. The results showed that the percentage of respondents with low feeding practices was 33%, 20% in mothers with stunted toddlers and 13% in mothers with normal toddlers. There was a significant relationship between feeding practices and stunting in toddlers (p = 0.001) with an inverse relationship and moderate level (r=-0.446). The conclusion was the better feeding practices given the lower incidence of stunting in toddlers. This implied the importance of education on feeding practices for mothers of toddlers so that mothers can apply good feeding practices to toddlers in everyday life, in the Tamalanrea Makassar Health Center area, to prevent stunting.  Keywords : Feeding practices; Mothers of toddlers; Stunting; Toddlers

Abstract

Dug well water is one of the primary sources of clean water for the community but is often vulnerable to bacteriological contamination, such as MPN Coliform. This contamination can cause various diseases, including diarrhea, particularly if the well is too close to contamination sources, the physical structure of the well does not meet standards, or the well owner's hygiene behavior is poor. This study aims to analyze the risk factors associated with the presence of MPN Coliform in dug well water in Tamangapa Village, Makassar City. The research used a cross-sectional design with purposive sampling of 12 dug wells, analyzed using Fisher's exact test. The results showed a significant relationship between the distance from contamination sources (SPAL, livestock pens, and septic tanks) and the presence of MPN Coliform in dug well water, with a p-value of 0.028 < 0.05 (odds ratio = 3.5). There was no relationship between the behavior of well owners (storage of well buckets, bathing, and washing) or the structure of dug wells (well walls and floors) and the presence of MPN Coliform, with p-values > 0.05. This study concludes that the distance of wells from contamination sources is the primary risk factor in determining the bacteriological quality of dug well water. Therefore, efforts are needed to maintain a safe distance between wells and contamination sources to reduce the risk of contamination. It is recommended that the community increase awareness of well sanitation and hygienic behavior, while the government strengthens the monitoring of well water quality.  Keywords: Water; MPN Coliform; Dug Wells

Abstract

In Indonesia, overnutrition status is still relatively high. Excessive food intake, lack of physical activity, and bad body image are some of the causes. The aim of this research is to find out how food intake, physical activity, and body appearance are related to better nutritional status. A cross-sectional design was used in this study. This research sample took a total of 52 individuals. Use of questionnaires to collect variable data. Remember, twice every twenty-four hours is used to collect food intake data. BMI is calculated by measuring height and weight. The relationship between variables was evaluated with the chi-square test. The results showed that there was a significant correlation between energy intake and nutritional status, with a p-value of 0.024 greater than the α value (0.05). It was shown that there was an insignificant relationship between nutritional status and protein intake, with a p value = 0.118 greater than the α value (0.05), fat and carbohydrates, with a p value = 0.011 greater than the α value (0.05), and physical activity, with a p value = 0.620 greater than the α value (0.05). It is recommended that future researchers conduct further research by including additional factors such as fiber intake and stress factors.  Keywords: Physical activity; food consumption; body appearance; higher nutritional levels

Abstract

Diarrhea in Indonesia is still a problem with high morbidity and mortality rates. Factors that influence the prevalence of this disease are that some people in Indonesia do not have access to healthy drinking water and proper sanitation. The quality of drinking water that does not meet bacteriological requirements can be a cause of diarrheal disease. So it needs to be anticipated through concrete steps by utilizing natural resources that contain anti-microbial compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, brazilin and brazilein which function as anti-microbials. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Secang Wood (Caesalpinia Sappan L.) in reducing bacteria Coliform in Refillable Drinking Water with experimental research methods quasi laboratory scale by using 1 gram of secang wood in 1 liter of refillable drinking water with a variation of contact time 12 hours, 24 hours, and 36 hours.The results of the study of the addition of 1 gram of secang wood in 1 liter of refillable drinking water with a contact time of 12 hours the percentage of decrease is 100%, 24 hours the percentage of decrease is 100% and 36 hours the percentage of decrease is 100%. Based on the results obtained from the three observations, the results of the quality of pH, color, and turbidity examination were best at a contact time of 12 hours compared to the contact time at 24 hours and 36 hours. The addition of secang wood with a contact time of 12 hours, 24 hours and 36 hours is effective in reducing bacteriaColiform bacteria in accordance with the requirements of Permenkes RI No. 2 Year 2023. For this reason, it is recommended for the community to use secang wood with a contact time of 12 hours in drinking water as an effort to prevent diarrheal disease.  Keywords :Coliform; secang wood(Caesalpinia Sappan L.);  refillable drinking water

Abstract

Many Indonesian cake products, such as pukis cakes, generally use wheat flour as raw material even though Indonesia is not a wheat producing country. To reduce dependence on wheat flour, it is necessary to look for local substitutes for wheat flour. One way to diversify local food is making pukis cakes with the substitution of red bean flour and blood cockle flour. Efforts to overcome the problem of anemia are to increase the intake of foods rich in protein and vitamin C such as red beans and blood cockles. This research aims to determine the protein and vitamin C levels of pukis cakes with the substitution of red bean flour and blood cockle flour. This type of research is a pre-experiment using a One Shot Study Case laboratory design with concentration formulas for red bean flour and blood cockle flour respectively 95 g and 5 g, 90 g and 10 g, and 85 g and 15 g. Protein levels were tested using the micro Kjedhal method and vitamin C levels were tested using the iodometric titration method. The results of this study showed that the protein content of pukis cakes by substitution of red bean flour and blood cockle flour increased F0 and F1 by 16.64%, F1 and F2 by 3.85%, F2 and F3 7.54% and vitamin C levels of pukis cakes. Substituting red bean flour and blood cockle flour there was an increase in F0 and F1 by 24.10%, F2 and F3 by 2.14%, and a decrease in the presentation of F1 and F2 -1.71%. Future researchers are expected to conduct further research on the effect of dough storage time on the vitamin C levels of pukis cakes substituted for red bean flour and blood cockle flour. And the processing of local food ingredients can be further improved to produce products that are beneficial for health. Keywords :Pukis Cake 1; Red Beans 2; Blood Clam 3; Protein 4; Vitamin C 5

Abstract

Primary dysmenorrhea is a common reproductive health issue among women that can disrupt daily activities. Pharmacological treatments often cause side effects, making non-pharmacological interventions an appealing alternative. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions, such as heat therapy, yoga, exercise, acupressure, effleurage massage, and lifestyle modifications, in reducing menstrual pain. A systematic review approach was employed, analyzing 16 relevant articles. Results showed that all methods significantly reduced pain levels, with yoga and exercise yielding the greatest reduction (2.8–3 points on the VAS scale). Heat therapy, acupressure, and effleurage massage provided immediate but temporary relief. Lifestyle modifications offered long-term benefits in improving quality of life. Combining methods is recommended for optimal outcomes.

Abstract

Sleep problems are common among students, especially medical students, due to high academic workload and demanding course requirements. Lack of sleep can have negative effects on physical and mental health, as well as academic performance. Sleep hygiene, which includes practices and habits that support good sleep, can be a non-pharmacological solution to this problem. This study aims to investigate the correlation between sleep hygiene and sleep quality among preclinical seventh-semester medical students at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Palangka Raya. The study employed an analytical observational cross-sectional design with 63 students selected through purposive sampling. Sleep hygiene was assessed using the Sleep Hygiene Index (SHI), and sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The results showed that 9.5% of students had good sleep hygiene, 46% had moderate sleep hygiene, and 44.4% had poor sleep hygiene. Most students (84.1%) reported poor sleep quality. Spearman's correlation analysis revealed a statistically significant moderate positive correlation between sleep hygiene and sleep quality (r = 0.401, p = 0.001). It was concluded that there is a moderate positive correlation between sleep hygiene and sleep quality among preclinical students in the 7th semester of the Faculty of Medicine at Palangka Raya University.

Abstract

The number of filariasis cases in Central Kalimantan increased in 2021, with 49 cases of chronic filariasis reported. Filariasis is a chronic infectious disease caused by infection with three species of microfilariae parasites, namely Brugia malayi, Brugia timori, and Wuchereria bancrofti, transmitted by mosquitoes from five genera: Anopheles, Mansonia, Culex, Aedes, and Amigeres. The transmission of filariasis is influenced by several factors, including the presence of microfilaria-positive individuals, vector density, community behavior, and ecological factors that affect vector density. Regional characteristics also play a role as supporting factors for the reproduction of Mansonia spp. as filariasis vectors. This study aims to determine the distribution of Mansonia spp. larvae habitats and identify Mansonia spp. larvae species in Henda Village, Pulang Pisau District. The study employs a descriptive method with cross-sectional sampling techniques to identify Mansonia spp. larvae in Henda Village, Pulang Pisau District. The criteria for sampling Mansonia spp. larvae that can be reached for collection and sample size estimation in this study are all Mansonia spp. larvae found during the study based on the coordinates determined in Henda Village, Pulang Pisau District. The results of this study indicate that the habitat of Mansonia spp. larvae was found in fish ponds characterized by abundant aquatic vegetation. The number of larvae found was 35, distributed across two locations: location a = 33 larvae and location b = 2 larvae. The habitat of Mansonia spp. larvae can be found in fish ponds characterized by the presence of aquatic plants. The presence of Mansonia spp. larvae requires attention in terms of vector control efforts, particularly regarding the transmission of filariasis in Central Kalimantan.

Abstract

Bed bugs (Cimex sp.) are insects that can cause dermatitis, allergic reactions, and potential anemia through their bites, with their spread closely related to environmental hygiene and bedding conditions. This study aims to determine the presence and identify the types of bed bugs (Cimex sp.) found in Islamic boarding schools in Palangka Raya City. This quantitative descriptive study with a cross-sectional design was conducted in January 2024 at several boarding schools in Palangka Raya City to determine the presence and types of bed bugs (Cimex sp.) in students' bedrooms. The study samples included mattresses, pillows, blankets, carpets, and sofas in students' rooms with damp conditions and insufficient sunlight, using purposive sampling techniques. The equipment used included non-sterile gloves, flashlights, masks, head coverings, small bottles (100 cc urine pots), and label paper for visual inspection and sampling of Cimex sp. The results of the study in six Islamic boarding schools in Palangka Raya City showed the presence of bed bugs (Cimex sp.) on mattresses, pillows, dolls, and wooden cabinets, with macroscopic characteristics of black spots, particularly in the Nurul Solihin and Hidayatul Insan Islamic boarding schools, with a percentage of 33.3%. Nurul Solihin Islamic Boarding School had the highest number of Cimex sp., with 71 eggs, 32 nymphs, and 36 adult bed bugs. This finding indicates that the sleeping environment of students in some boarding schools has the potential to support the development of bed bugs. The study identified Cimex lectularis at the Nurul Solihin and Hidayatul Insan Islamic boarding schools, with life cycle stages found including eggs, nymphs, and adult bed bugs, and their habitats distributed across both boarding schools. These findings highlight the need for enhanced efforts to control bed bugs in boarding school environments. Keywords: Bed Bugs; Islamic Boarding Schools; Environmental Cleanliness

Abstract

Air in rooms contaminated by microorganisms such as bacteria can cause health problems, especially respiratory tract infections. The use of eco-enzymes as a natural disinfectant is an environmentally friendly alternative to control airborne bacteria. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of eco-enzyme at concentrations of 15%, 20%, and 25% in reducing airborne bacteria levels in indoor spaces. The research method used a Quasi-Experimental design with a Pre-Post Test Control Group. Samples were collected from three classrooms at SMA Negeri 12 Makassar using random sampling. The eco-enzyme concentrations tested were 15%, 20%, and 25%, with a contact time of 1 hour. Data were analyzed using a One-Way ANOVA test. The results showed a significant reduction in airborne bacteria levels at all concentrations: 15% reduced by 14%, 20% by 24%, and 25% by 76%. Meanwhile, the control group experienced an increase in bacterial counts by 27%. Statistical analysis showed significant differences, with the 25% concentration being the most optimal (p-value 0.0001 < 0.05). Eco-enzyme at a concentration of 25% was proven effective in reducing airborne bacteria and has potential as an environmentally friendly natural disinfectant. This study has limitations, such as the use of a simple application method (manual sprayer) and a limited number of samples, so further research is recommended using the dry mist method and a broader sample scope.
