Abstract

Background: Based on data from the Gorontalo Provincial Health Office in 2023, the number of LBW babies was 1,285 out of 18,724 births. LBW is caused by several factors, including the mother's age during pregnancy, primigravida status, the mother's gestational age at delivery, anemia in pregnant women, intrauterine growth restriction, and the number of antenatal care (ANC) visits. Among these causal factors, the incidence of LBW is more likely to occur in first pregnancies or primigravida cases..   Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between primigravida and low birth weight (LBW) in the NICU of Toto Kabila Regional General Hospital in Bone Bolango Regency.   Methods: This study design uses a correlational research design, which aims to analyze the relationship between two or more variables without attempting to determine their influence. The sampling technique used in this study is simple random sampling, with a sample size of 113 newborns delivered by cesarean section with a history of primigravida pregnancy in the NICU of Toto Kabila Regional General Hospital. The statistical analysis used is the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Results: The results of the study obtained a p-value of 0.273 > 0.05, meaning that there is no relationship between primigravida and the incidence of LBW in the NICU room of Toto Kabila Regional General Hospital, Bone Bolango Regency.  Conclusion: It is hoped that this can serve as information and a solution to improve the quality and standard of NICU services in reducing the incidence of LBW. For educational institutions, especially nursing schools, it is hoped that this can provide additional information in developing and conducting further research on factors related to LBW in primigravida, such as maternal health status, factors related to pregnancy outside of marriage, ANC visits, and nutritional status.

Abstract

Background:   The nutritional status of elementary school-aged children is a crucial factor in determining the quality of future human resources. However, limited nutritional knowledge among children remains a challenge, particularly in coastal areas with restricted access to information. Purpose:  This study aims to assess the effectiveness of leaflet-based educational media in improving students' knowledge about balanced nutrition at Elementary School 2 Toronipa, Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Methods:   This research employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample consisted of 45 students from grades III, IV, and V, selected through total sampling. The research instrument was a multiple-choice questionnaire developed based on the Balanced Nutrition Guidelines from the Indonesian Ministry of Health. The study procedure included a pretest, an educational intervention using leaflets, and a posttest. Results:   The results showed that before the intervention, the majority of students had moderate (51.1%) and low (31.1%) levels of knowledge. Following the intervention, there was a significant increase in the high knowledge category to 73.4%, while the low category decreased to 2.2%. The average knowledge score improved from 11.3 to 16.6. The paired sample t-test indicated a statistically significant difference (p = 0.000; p < 0.05), confirming the effectiveness of the leaflet in enhancing students’ nutritional knowledge. Conclusion:   Leaflets are an efficient, easy-to-understand, and engaging educational medium for elementary school children. These findings have positive implications for school-based nutrition education programs, especially in regions with limited access to information. Leaflet media can be integrated into health promotion programs to improve nutritional literacy and support healthy lifestyles from an early age.

Abstract

Background: The CERDIK program (Check, Eat, Regular exercise, Drugs, Insulin injection, and Control blood glucose) is a key self‑management strategy for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). However, patient adherence remains suboptimal in many primary health care settings.Objective: To identify family support, diabetes knowledge, and motivation as factors associated with CERDIK behavior among T2DM patients at Puskesmas Moramo.Methods: A cross‑sectional study was conducted in May 2024 among 42 T2DM patients attending Puskesmas Moramo. Participants were recruited by consecutive sampling. Data were collected using validated questionnaires for family support, diabetes knowledge, motivation, and CERDIK behavior (Cronbach’s α = 0.82–0.90). Spearman’s rank correlation was performed in SPSS v26 with α = 0.05.Results: The mean age was 57.3 ± 8.5 years; 58.3% were female. Good CERDIK behavior was observed in 24 (57.1%) patients. Family support was moderately correlated with CERDIK behavior (ρ = 0.483; p = 0.001). Diabetes knowledge (ρ = 0.395; p = 0.008) and motivation (ρ = 0.317; p = 0.035) also showed significant positive correlations with CERDIK behavior. Conclusion: Family support, diabetes knowledge, and motivation are significant factors influencing CERDIK behavior in T2DM patients at Puskesmas Moramo. Interventions should integrate family involvement, targeted education, and motivational enhancement to improve self‑management and glycemic outcomes.
