Abstract

Stunting is a serious health problem in Indonesia, which can affect the growth and development of children. The Family Assistance Team (FATS) has an important role in stunting prevention through education and nutrition monitoring. This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of FATS in preventing stunting, as well as identify the challenges faced in the implementation of their duties. The research method used is a descriptive design with a quantitative approach, involving 35 FATSs working in 13 stunting locus villages in Sigi Regency. Data collection was carried out through a questionnaire that measured the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of the FATS, and the data was statistically analyzed to get an overview of the characteristics of the respondents and the effectiveness of the FATS. The results show that FATS has a good understanding of stunting, but there is a need for improvement in terms of resource availability and training frequency. Most FATSs feel effective in their roles and are satisfied with the support provided by their respective organizations. Recommendations for continuous training and adequate logistical support were identified as key to improving the effectiveness of FATS in stunting prevention, providing important insights for the development of more effective stunting prevention programs at the village level.

Abstract

Papaya trees are often found in Indonesia, both fruit, flowers and leaves are commonly used. Papaya leaves are widely used to treat various diseases including diabetes. Indonesia, with 10.7 million diabetes sufferers, is in the top ten countries with the highest number of diabetes cases. Boiled papaya leaves water can be an alternative in controlling blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. The aim of the study was to prove that boiled papaya leaf water is useful for lowering blood sugar levels in diabetes mellitus patients. The materials used were papaya leaves and clean water. The research method, this study is analytical, namely quasi-experimental design using the pre-test method (before treatment) how much blood sugar levels and post-test (after treatment) blood sugar levels were measured after 30 minutes of treatment then compared with the control group. The treatment was in the form of drinking boiled papaya leaf water with a dose of 100 ml from 10 grams of papaya leaves in one gift. The control only drank water. The research results were based on statistical tests, the data distribution was not normal so the Wilcoxon test was carried out. The significance obtained was 0.117 (>0.05) so that H0 was accepted, it mean there was no effect, meaning that boiled papaya leaf water had no effect on reducing blood sugar levels in diabetes sufferers. The conclusion is that boiled papaya leaf water has no effect on lowering blood sugar levels in diabetes sufferers. It is recommended to calculate the dose based on body weight, increase the dose, or grind it first before use.

Abstract

Accurate pre-pregnancy weight is crucial for optimal pregnancy outcomes. However, self-reported pre-pregnancy weight often differs from estimated values owing to various factors. This study aimed to compare pre-pregnancy weight with the self-reported method and estimated using the Thomas formula in pregnant women in Bogor, Indonesia. This cross-sectional study was conducted among 160 pregnant women in Bogor. Pre-pregnancy weight was assessed using both self-reported and the Thomas formula estimation. Differences between the two methods were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. Our study revealed a significant median difference between self-reported and estimated pre-pregnancy weight, with 56.5 kg and 58.4 kg, respectively (pvalue<0.001). Women tended to underestimate their pre-pregnancy weight by -1.7 kg (SD=3.8). There was a difference in the proportion of body mass index (BMI) categories based on self-reported and estimated pre-pregnancy weights. However, the classification of BMI before pregnancy was generally consistent between the two methods. The Thomas formula proved to be more sensitive in predicting the incidence of overweight than underweight in Bogor City. A limitation of this study is that it did not directly validate the measured pre-pregnancy weight, which led to the result that self-reported pre-pregnancy weight may underestimate the actual weight. Although Thomas’s formula provides a precise estimate, it is important to consider the limitations of the self-report and estimation methods. Therefore, healthcare providers should be aware of these differences, use a combination of approaches to assess pre-pregnancy weight, and provide appropriate nutritional counseling

Abstract

Hypertension is a major global non-communicable disease and a leading cause of premature death. This study aimed to develop a multivariate prediction model for hypertension incidence in the Banggai Community Health Center working area, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. An analytical observational study with a case-control design was conducted involving 140 people, equally divided into case and control groups. Data were collected on age, family history of hypertension, obesity status, smoking status, coffee consumption habits, use of hormonal birth control, and place of residence. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were performed. The final regression model included sex, age, family history of hypertension, body mass index (BMI), and smoking status, which together could predict hypertension incidence by 59.3%. Family history of hypertension was the most dominant variable, with those having a history being 25.6 times more likely to develop hypertension than those without a history (p < 0.001). Age ≥ 36 years, obesity, and smoking were also significant risk factors. The prediction model is useful for assessing individual hypertension risk and guiding early diagnosis and treatment. Family-based health education and screening for non-communicable diseases based on the prediction variables are recommended to reduce hypertension prevalence. Future research should consider prospective designs, involve more samples, and include additional variables such as diet, physical activity, and stress level to enhance the model's predictive accuracy.

Abstract

Typhoid fever remains a significant public health burden in developing countries, including Indonesia, where poor hygiene and sanitation contribute to its endemicity. This study aimed to identify behavioral risk factors associated with typhoid fever in the working area of UPT Puskesmas Balongpanggang, Gresik Regency. A quantitative, analytic case control study was conducted involving 74 respondents, equally divided between the case group (patients diagnosed with typhoid fever) and the control group (individuals without the disease). Purposive sampling was applied to select participants, and data collection was carried out through structured interviews using a validated questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed using chi square tests to evaluate associations between specific behaviors and disease occurrence. The study identified six significant behavioral risk factors: eating outside the home (OR = 5.022; 95% CI: 1.465–17.217), consuming raw food (OR = 15.231; 95% CI: 1.850–125.420), drinking untreated water (OR = 10.828; 95% CI: 3.182–36.848), poor knowledge about typhoid (OR = 90.417; 95% CI: 16.991–481.135), family history of typhoid (OR = 4.758; 95% CI: 1.720–13.164), and not washing hands after defecation (OR = 36.458; 95% CI: 7.491–177.444). These results emphasize the role of individual hygiene practices and household behaviors in typhoid transmission. In conclusion, this study provides strong evidence for prioritizing behavior focused public health interventions and educational programs as key strategies for typhoid fever prevention in endemic communities.

Abstract

Triage is a critical process in prioritizing patient care, particularly for P2 (yellow label) patients in the emergency department who are at risk of clinical deterioration. This study aimed to quantitatively and multivariately analyze the factors influencing anxiety levels among P2 triage patients at the Emergency Department of RSU Ciremai. This analytical quantitative study employed a cross-sectional design. A total of 96 P2 triage patients were selected using purposive sampling. The variables examined included response time, therapeutic communication, and family support. Data were analyzed using chi-square tests for bivariate analysis and multiple logistic regression for multivariate analysis. Bivariate analysis revealed significant associations between anxiety levels and response time (p = 0.002), therapeutic communication (p = 0.001), and family support (p = 0.004). Multivariate analysis showed that delayed response time (OR = 3.46; 95% CI: 1.52–7.89), ineffective therapeutic communication (OR = 4.20; 95% CI: 1.85–9.52), and low family support (OR = 3.10; 95% CI: 1.38–6.95) significantly increased the risk of severe anxiety. Among these factors, ineffective therapeutic communication emerged as the most dominant, with the highest odds ratio. Response time, therapeutic communication quality, and family support are key factors associated with anxiety in P2 triage patients. Emergency nursing interventions should focus on enhancing communication skills through targeted staff training, implementing rapid response protocols to reduce delays, and actively involving family members in the care process to help reduce patient anxiety and improve psychological outcomes.

Abstract

Iron Tablet Suplement (ITS) Consumption is expected to prevent anemia with increased hemoglobin levels. The 2023 Indonesian Health Survey report shows that 27.7% of pregnant women in Indonesia experience anemia which will have an impact on pregnancy and childbirth complications. The study aims to determine the effect of ITS consumption on increasing hemoglobin levels in anemia pregnant women, so that it can prevent complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the birth of stunted babies. This study uses meta-analysis using the random effect model method. Articles accessed from Google Scholar and PubMed databases. The selection of articles used the PICOTS framework, which included the population of pregnant women, ITS consumption interventions, comparison with the control group that did not consume ITS, the outcome of increasing hemoglobin levels, and the research design in the form of a quasi-experimental study. The inclusion criteria are research articles published in 2010–2022, using a quasi-experimental design, full text available, and mean difference data available. The search used the keywords "iron tablet" AND "hemoglobin" OR "anemic pregnant women" and "Fe tablets" OR "hemoglobin" OR "anemia in pregnant women". The selection process is presented in the PRISMA diagram, 10 eligible articles were obtained. Data analysis using Review Manager application 5.4. The forest plot showed that the pooled mean difference was significant (MD = 1.87: 1.29-2.44; p<0.00001; I² = 96%), then it can be concluded that the consumption of Blood Supplement Tablets significantly increases hemoglobin levels in anemia pregnant women by an average of 1.87 g/dl. The plot funnel shows the standard error of the left plot between 0.1-0.3 while the standard error of the right plot is 0.1-2.9 which shows an almost symmetrical distribution of research where the distribution of points is almost balanced between the left and right sides of the centerline, meaning that there is no publication bias. Consumption of Blood Supplement Tablets is effective in increasing hemoglobin levels in anemia pregnant women, it is recommended to ensure the appropriate dose (60 mg of iron per day), increase compliance through community-based education programs, regular mentoring, the use of reminders, and health policies that facilitate access to ITS for pregnant women, accompanied by regular examinations and distribution at health facilities.

Abstract

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that occurs in children.  Approximately 2.4 million children in Indonesia are diagnosed with autism. Comparing various parenting styles that affect the development and maturation of children with autism diagnoses in developed nations was the goal of this review. This review utilized the PRISMA-ScR checklist, PCC framework, and critical appraisal of articles by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). Articles were collected from the PubMed, EBSCO, and Wiley databases and manual searches (Google Scholar and Research Rabbit) published from to 2013-2023. The search identified 123 articles and 18 duplicates. The screening results yielded 4 articles. The articles released in 2017 were one in, 2020 was two, and one in 2021. Each study used a cross-sectional design. The four selected articles were grouped by country of origin as follows: one from the United States, one from Japan, one from Brazil, and one from Indonesia. The examination of the four papers found that most mother parenting techniques with autistic children are democratic and impact the growth and development of autistic children in developed countries. Families may significantly enhance the care their autistic children receive and help them achieve the best developmental results by promoting evidence-based parenting techniques.
