Abstract

The prevalence of stunting according to WHO in 2021 is 22%. In Indonesia, according to SSGI data in 2022, the stunting rate in 2021 was 24.4%, down 2.8% to 21.6%. Central Java Province in 2022 by 20.8%. This study aims to determine the influence of the class of mothers under five on maternal knowledge and preventive behavior about stunting. This research was conducted at the UPTD Sumurpanggang Health Center in Tegal City in June 2024 with the Case Control research method.  The dependent variables in this study are maternal knowledge and preventive behavior against stunting. The independent variable in this study was the class of mothers under five. The population in this study was mothers of toddlers aged 12-24 months. The sample used in this study was a number of mothers who attended toddler classes three times as the case group and those who did not attend toddler classes as the control group.  The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. Univariate data analysis in this study used frequency distribution and bivariate analysis using Chi Square. The results showed that there was no significant relationship between participation in toddler mother classes and knowledge about stunting, feeding behavior, and supportive behavior for the prevention of stunting.

Abstract

Full day school is an educational policy that extends the duration of students' learning activities throughout the school day. The academic demands associated with this learning system may increase students' academic stress, particularly among those with lower levels of self-efficacy. Self-efficacy refers to an individual's belief in their ability to successfully perform specific tasks and achieve desired outcomes. This study aimed to examine the relationship between self-efficacy and academic stress among students enrolled in a full-day school system. A quantitative correlational study was conducted involving 105 students. Data were collected using a self-efficacy questionnaire based on a Likert scale, while academic stress was assessed using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21). The relationship between self-efficacy and academic stress was analyzed using a correlation test. The findings revealed a statistically significant relationship between self-efficacy and academic stress (r = 0.191; p 0.05). Although the correlation was weak, the results indicate that self-efficacy was significantly associated with students' academic stress levels.

Abstract

Danger signs of pregnancy are conditions that require early detection to prevent maternal and neonatal complications. Pregnant women's knowledge of danger signs of pregnancy is related to various individual characteristics. This study aims to determine the relationship between age, education, occupation and parity of pregnant women with knowledge of danger signs of pregnancy. This study uses an analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study were all pregnant women who checked their pregnancy, a total of 59 respondents, the total sampling technique, using a questionnaire and analyzed univariate and bivariate using the Chi square test. The results showed that most respondents were 21-35 years old (78%), had a high school education (66.1%), were unemployed (52.5%) and had multigravida parity (49.2%). Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between the age of pregnant women with knowledge of danger signs of pregnancy (P = 0.000), education with knowledge (P = 0.000), occupation with knowledge (P = 0.001), and parity with knowledge (P = 0.000). It can be concluded that age, education, employment status, and the number of pregnant women employed are significantly related to knowledge of pregnancy danger signs. Therefore, more targeted efforts are needed to improve health education, especially for pregnant women with low-risk characteristics and knowledge, through outreach activities and mentoring by health workers.

Abstract

Preeclampsia remains an important contributor to maternal mortality and requires early detection through quality Antenatal Care (ANC). This study aimed to analyze midwives' ANC quality as a determinant of early preeclampsia detection accuracy in primary care facilities. A quantitative analytical cross-sectional design was used. The sample consisted of 30 midwives in Madiun Regency selected by total sampling. The instrument was valid, with r values ranging from 0.374 to 0.861 ( r table 0.361), and reliable with Cronbach's alpha of 0.882. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and simple linear regression. ANC quality was significantly related to early preeclampsia detection accuracy (r = 0.61; p = 0.001), with beta = 0.527 (p = 0.002) and R² = 0.31. ANC quality is a significant determinant of early preeclampsia detection accuracy in primary care facilities.

Abstract

Anemia among adolescent girls remains an unresolved health problem in Indonesia. Factors suspected to be associated with anemia include academic stress and sleep quality. The study aimed to determine the relationship between academic stress and sleep quality with anemia among 12th-grade female adolescents at Senior High School 1 Rendang, Karangasem Regency. This observational analytical study used quantitative methods and a cross-sectional design with a sample of 92 respondents obtained through total sampling techniques. The measurement tools used included the Educational Stress Scale for Adolescents (ESSA) questionnaire to assess academic stress levels, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to assess sleep quality, and hemoglobin levels. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that the highest proportion of respondents were in the moderate academic stress category (87.0%), followed by 48.9% with poor sleep quality, and the prevalence of anemia was recorded at 14.1%. Statistically, no relationship was found between academic stress and anemia (p=0.819), nor between sleep quality and anemia (p=0.710).

Abstract

The maternal and neonatal periods are highly vulnerable stages that require proper monitoring and timely health interventions to prevent serious complications, such as postpartum hemorrhage, infections, or emergency conditions in newborns. Data from the Tegal Regency Health Office in 2024 indicate that preventive and promotive services at posyandu are suboptimal, with postpartum maternal visit coverage at 58%, below the 80% national target. This highlights the importance of the active role of posyandu cadres in providing education, conducting monitoring, and assisting mothers and infants. This study aims to identify the role of posyandu cadres in preventive and promotive efforts related to maternal and neonatal emergencies in Slawi Wetan Village. This descriptive qualitative study involved five cadres and four postpartum mothers. Data from interviews and observations were analyzed thematically. Results show cadres educate on danger signs of pregnancy, conduct home visits, and remind mothers of schedules via communication media. Supporting factors include health center support and community enthusiasm, while obstacles include limited time availability of cadres and uneven awareness among mothers. In conclusion, posyandu cadres play an important role in improving preparedness and promotive maternal and neonatal health. However, cross-sectoral support and capacity building for cadres are still needed to achieve optimal health services.

Abstract

Hypertension is one of the most prevalent non-communicable diseases worldwide, with an increasing burden among working-age adults. Sedentary behavior and dietary patterns, including food consumption based on the NOVA classification, are considered important lifestyle factors that may contribute to hypertension. This study aimed to describe respondent characteristics, sedentary behavior, dietary patterns based on the NOVA food classification, and the distribution of hypertension among working-age adults. A quantitative descriptive study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 37 working-age adults with hypertension recruited using accidental sampling. Data were collected using the Adolescent Sedentary Activity Questionnaire (ASAQ), a NOVA-based food frequency questionnaire, and blood pressure measurements. Data were analyzed descriptively using frequency distributions and percentages. Most respondents were late-middle-aged adults, female, housewives, and non-smokers. Grade I hypertension was observed in 51.3% of respondents, while 48.6% had Grade II hypertension. Moderate sedentary behavior was the most common category. Based on the NOVA classification, respondents frequently consumed foods from NOVA Group 1 and NOVA Group 2, whereas foods from NOVA Group 3 and NOVA Group 4 were consumed less frequently. The findings suggest that hypertension among working-age adults is a multifactorial condition influenced by multiple risk factors. Hypertension prevention strategies should therefore promote healthy lifestyle behaviors through increased physical activity, reduced sedentary behavior, healthier dietary practices, and regular blood pressure monitoring.

Abstract

Infants with Congenital Hypothyroidism who are not diagnosed and treated early are at risk of intellectual disability and growth impairment. Congenital Hypothyroidism Screening coverage for newborns at the Bukoposo Community Health Center in Mesuji, Lampung, during December 2025 to January 2026, reached only 25.9%. This study aimed to determine the extent to which maternal knowledge influences the uptake of Congenital Hypothyroidism Screening for newborns in this working area. A quantitative analytical survey with a cross-sectional design was employed. The study sample consisted of 99 mothers with infants aged 15 days to one month, selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected via questionnaires and analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results showed that among mothers with low knowledge, the majority (90%) did not have their infants screened, while only 10% did (p-value = 0.000; OR = 11.65). The study concludes that there is a very strong and significant relationship between the level of maternal knowledge and Congenital Hypothyroidism Screening uptake. Mothers with poor knowledge were far less likely to have their infants screened. These findings indicate a need for more extensive efforts to improve knowledge and provide education regarding newborn Congenital Hypothyroidism Screening to mothers in this area.

Abstract

Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) is one of the most common health problems among informal workers, including waste pickers who are exposed to dust, bioaerosols, and hazardous gases at landfill sites. This study aimed to analyze the association between working duration and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) with the incidence of ARI among waste pickers at Alak Landfill, Kupang City. This analytical quantitative study employed a cross-sectional design involving 90 respondents selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results showed that 87 respondents (96.7%) experienced ARI. There was a significant association between working duration and ARI incidence (p=0.003), in which all respondents with a working duration of more than five years experienced ARI (73.3%). In addition, PPE use was significantly associated with ARI incidence (p0.001), all respondents who did not use PPE experienced ARI (84.4%). In conclusion, working duration and PPE use were significantly associated with ARI incidence among waste pickers at Alak Landfill, Kupang City.

Abstract

Nutritional issues among preschool children remain a concern, as they are influenced by feeding practices and parenting factors. This study aimed to analyze the relationship of parenting self-efficacy and community peer group support with the feeding practices and nutritional status of preschool children. A quantitative method with a cross-sectional design was employed. The study population consisted of mothers with preschool-aged children at TK PGRI 3 Gambiran, Genteng, Banyuwangi; a total sampling technique was used to select 40 respondents. Data were collected via questionnaires and analyzed using the Spearman test. The results revealed significant relationships between parenting self-efficacy and both feeding practices (p=0.000; r=0.552) and nutritional status (p=0.002; r=-0.469). Additionally, peer group support was associated with feeding practices (p=0.002; r=0.468) and nutritional status (p=0.003; r=-0.463). Respondents with high levels of self-efficacy and community support tended to exhibit optimal feeding practices and have children with normal nutritional status.
