Abstract

Permasalah kesehatan yang paling umum pada remaja perempuan, terutama di pondok pesantren, adalah anemia. Salah satu elemen penting yang perlu dibantu melalui penyuluhan gizi adalah kurangnya pengetahuan dan sikap tentang cara mencegah anemia. Tujuan dari pelaksanaan penelitian ialah untuk mengetahui bagaimana penyuluhan gizi melalui media video berdampak pada pengetahuan dan perasaan remaja putri di Pondok Pesantren Ummul Mukminin. Studi ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dan membuat satu kelompok pre-test dan post-test. Metode sampel purposive digunakan untuk memilih 22 remaja putri. Penyuluhan gizi dilakukan dengan menggunakan video edukatif tentang anemia dan pentingnya mengonsumsi tablet tambah darah. Setelah kuesioner dikumpulkan untuk mengukur tingkat pengetahuan dan sikap sebelum dan sesudah intervensi, data dianalisis dengan uji paired t-test. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa skor pengetahuan telah meningkat dari 9,18 menjadi 9,63 (p-value = 0,009) dan skor sikap telah meningkat dari 45,45 menjadi 46,23 (p-value = 0,006). Ada bukti bahwa penyuluhan gizi yang diberikan melalui media video berhasil meningkatkan pengetahuan remaja putri tentang cara mencegah anemia dan membuat mereka bersikap positif.

Abstract

Family motivation is an important factor influencing independence in elderly care, especially among those with non-communicable diseases (NCDs). This study aimed to analyze the relationship between family motivation and independence in caring for elderly NCD patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted in March 2025 at the Tolangohula Health Center, Gorontalo Regency, Indonesia. A total of 89 families caring for elderly NCD patients were recruited using total sampling. Data were collected through structured questionnaires covering demographics, family motivation, and family independence. Validity and reliability tests confirmed that all instruments demonstrated strong internal consistency and were suitable for use in the study. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of p < 0.05. The results showed that most families had strong motivation (60.7%) and high independence (Level IV, 60.7%). Families with strong motivation predominantly achieved Level IV independence (85.1%), while those with moderate motivation tended to fall within Levels III and II. The Chi-Square analysis revealed a significant relationship between family motivation and family independence (p < 0.001). These findings indicate that stronger family motivation is significantly associated with higher independence in elderly NCD care. Strengthening family education and empowerment programs within community nursing services is recommended to enhance caregiving capacity and improve health outcomes among elderly individuals with chronic diseases.

Abstract

The prevalence of common mental disorders (CMD) among university students is increasing. Globally, one in seven people (1.1 billion) lived with a mental disorder, and 15% of the population including adolescents and adults were affected. These growing burdens highlight the importance of examining lifestyle and hematological factors related to CMD. This study aims to examine the associations of hemoglobin (Hb) levels, physical activity, and sleep quality with CMD. In this cross-sectional study, 105 active students from Tamalatea University, Makassar, were selected through proportional stratified sampling. Data included demographics, anthropometry, total weekly physical activity via the International Physical Activity Questionnaire–Short Form (IPAQ-SF), sleep quality via the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Common Mental Disorder (CMD) symptoms via the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS-42), and hemoglobin (Hb) levels. Multiple logistic regression was used for data analysis. After covariate adjustment, moderate (aOR=0.17; 95%CI: 0.04–0.70; p=0.014) and high  physical activity (aOR=0.08; 95%CI: 0.01–0.56; p=0.011) were significantly associated with lower odds of CMD compared with low activity. Good sleep quality was also protective (aOR=0.15; 95%CI: 0.03–0.76; p=0.022). Higher hemoglobin levels showed a borderline protective association (aOR=0.64; 95%CI: 0.41–1.00; p=0.050). Age, gender, BMI, and allowance were not significant predictors in the final model. Moderate to high physical activity, good sleep quality, and higher hemoglobin levels are protective factors against CMD among university students. These findings support the implementation of lifestyle based promotional strategies and hematological status monitoring within the campus setting.

Abstract

The prevalence of stunting in children under five remains a global and national public health challenge. Although various policies have been targeted to reduce stunting cases in the community, dietary diversity plays a key role in determining the quality of children's nutritional intake and preventing chronic malnutrition. Information on what dietary diversity is important is needed so that appropriate stunting reduction policy targets can be determined. This study aims to determine the relationship between dietary diversity and the dominant factors associated with the prevalence of stunting. The study design used correlation analysis with a cross-sectional approach. The study population was all children under five and families in stunting locus villages in the UPTD Trawas Health Center area of Mojokerto Regency, totaling 1734 people. Sampling was carried out using proportional cluster sampling with a total of 315 people. Data were obtained through a dietary diversity questionnaire measured by the DDS, and stunting incidence was measured by the Height/Age index (HAZ). Bivariate analysis used chi- square, and multivariate analysis used multiple logistic regression. The results showed a relationship between dietary diversity and stunting (P 0.001, OR 6.532, CI 3.158- 13.510). There was an association between consumption of vitamin A-rich fruits and vegetables (P 0.037, OR 4.221), meat and fish consumption (P 0.002, OR 5.101), egg consumption (P 0.039, OR 4.145), and milk consumption (P 0.048, OR 1.938) and stunting in children under five. Meat and fish consumption were the dominant variables influencing stunting (P 0.020, AOR 4.205). This study recommends that policymakers, particularly the Ministry of Health, prioritize dietary diversity in efforts to reduce stunting, with a primary focus on ensuring adequate animal protein intake.

Abstract

Despite maternal and child health (MCH) policies in Indonesia, substantial gaps persist between policy targets and service delivery outcomes. This study analyzed MCH conditions and identified factors underlying policy implementation gaps using an integrated policy analysis framework. This descriptive-interpretive policy analysis integrated published national-level indicators from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey with a structured narrative review of scientific literature and national policy documents published between 2019 and 2025. Evidence was synthesized using four complementary frameworks: Evidence-Based Policy, Systems Thinking, Political Economy of Health, and Wicked Problem. Major discontinuities were identified across the maternal and newborn continuum of care. Although first antenatal care coverage reached 86.7%, only 17.6% of pregnant women completed six recommended visits. Complete neonatal and postpartum care coverage remained low at 40.5% and 26.8%, respectively. Maternal anemia affected 27.7% of pregnant women, while child stunting prevalence remained at 21.5%. The integrated analysis identified discontinuities in care and indicated that unequal local implementation capacity, output-oriented accountability, fragmented financing, referral-system limitations, and weak intersectoral coordination may contribute to implementation gaps. These interacting factors indicate that MCH challenges constitute a complex policy problem that cannot be addressed through isolated interventions. Improving MCH outcomes requires strengthening the continuum of care, enhancing service quality and referral systems, implementing outcome-based accountability, reinforcing intersectoral governance, and developing adaptive health- system management.
