Abstract

Background: Babies at a young age are susceptible to diseases. Immunity that has not yet formed makes it easier for babies to be infected with bacteria or fungi. Oral thrush is one of the most common infections. According to research conducted by Eranika in 2016, in Indonesia, around 2.4 million babies have oral thrush. There are many ways to deal with oral thrush; one is to maintain oral health through oral hygiene. Consistent oral hygiene measures in babies can reduce the risk of oral thrush, preventing serious problems. Purpose: To moisturize the oral mucosa and reduce plaque in the mouth. Method: Using qualitative methods with a case study approach. The subjects used in this case study were two infants with oral thrush. Data collection techniques use interviews, observation, and documentation. Results: An assessment was conducted on infants with the same complaints. Both have a nursing diagnosis of oral mucosal membrane disorders. The intervention consisted of oral hygiene measures. After 5 days of implementation, there were significant changes in both subjects: appetite improved, drinking improved, they were not fussy, had a moist oral mucosa, reduced white plaques, and were clean. Conclusion: Oral hygiene is effective in overcoming oral thrush in babies' mouths.

Abstract

Background: Anemia is one of the indirect causes of maternal death. Anemia in pregnancy is a condition in which the hemoglobin level in the blood is less than 11 grams, reducing the body's ability to transport oxygen to tissues. The prevalence of anemia in pregnant women in Indonesia was 27% in 2024. The incidence of anemia at the Jagapura Community Health Center, Cirebon Regency, was 18.4% in 2024. Management of anemia involves iron supplementation, dietary changes, and regular monitoring of hemoglobin levels. Dates are foods rich in iron and are part of the local wisdom of the Japura people. Aim: This research aims to address anemia in women by empowering mothers to improve compliance with the consumption of iron tablets and dates. Methods: A case study method is used. The intervention involved the mother and her husband in monitoring compliance with consuming one iron tablet and seven dates per day for 14 days. Mothers' adherence to taking supplements and nutritious foods is supported by the family's active role in monitoring and motivation. Results, There was an increase in the mother’s hemoglobin level and in maternal adherence to taking iron tablets and dates, from 10.1 g/dL to 10.9 g/dL. Conclusions and Implications. Empowering mothers and families to monitor compliance with iron tablets and date consumption effectively increases hemoglobin levels and reduces maternal and infant complications.

Abstract

Background. Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that is still a public health challenge, especially in toddlers, because it has a long-term impact on physical growth, cognitive development, and productivity in the future. Purpose. This study aims to determine the characteristics of stunting determinants in toddlers aged 6–59 months in Pekalipan Village, Cirebon City in 2025. Method. The study used an analytical observational design with a cross sectional approach. The population in this study was all toddlers aged 6–59 months in the study area, with a sample of 153 respondents. Data analysis was carried out univariate to illustrate the distribution of characteristics of the research variables which included maternal education, maternal age at birth, birth weight, exclusive breastfeeding status, immunization completeness, history of infectious diseases, and feeding patterns.Results. The results showed that most mothers had a high level of education (80.4%) and were at a non-risk age at childbirth (83.0%). The majority of toddlers were born with normal weight (92.8%), received exclusive breastfeeding (74.5%), and had complete immunization status (87.6%). Most of the toddlers had no history of infectious diseases (92.2%), but most respondents had improper feeding patterns (86.9%). The prevalence of stunting in toddlers aged 6-59 months in Pekalipan Village is 19.0%.Conclusion. The conclusions of this study show that although most of the determinant characteristics are in the good category, improper feeding patterns are still the dominant problem that has the potential to contribute to the incidence of stunting. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen nutrition education and proper parenting as an effort to prevent stunting in toddlers
