Abstract

Introduction: Nutritional status in children under five remains a critical public health concern, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Socioeconomic and educational factors play a pivotal role in determining nutritional outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between socioeconomic status, parental education, and the nutritional status of children aged five and under. Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed, involving 150 children aged 6–59 months. Data were collected through structured questionnaires assessing parental education, household income, and other demographic factors. Nutritional status was assessed using anthropometric indicators, including weight-for-age, height-for-age, and weight-for-height, based on the WHO growth standards. Data analysis used chi-square and logistic regression to identify significant associations. Results: The study found that 32% of children were undernourished, with 18% stunted and 14% underweight. Children from low-income families and those whose mothers had only a primary education were more likely to experience malnutrition (p < 0.05). Maternal education emerged as the strongest predictor of a child’s nutritional status after controlling for income and occupation. Conclusion: Socioeconomic and educational factors are significant determinants of nutritional status in children under the age of five. Improving parental education, especially among mothers, and addressing poverty are essential to combating malnutrition. Strengthen community-based nutrition education programs, promote women’s education, and develop poverty reduction strategies to ensure equitable access to nutritious food and healthcare services.

Abstract

Introduction: Oral health in early childhood is strongly influenced by maternal behavior, knowledge, and daily caregiving practices. Mothers play a crucial role in shaping healthy oral hygiene habits, promoting proper toothbrushing techniques, and preventing dental problems such as cavities. In many rural areas, limited access to dental health information and services increases the risk of poor oral health among children under the age of five. This study aimed to describe the role of mothers in maintaining oral health among young children in Guali Village. Methods: This descriptive study employed a cross-sectional approach involving mothers of children under five years of age residing in Guali Village. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that assessed maternal knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to oral hygiene. Variables included toothbrushing routines, supervision patterns, dietary habits, and access to oral health services. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the findings. Results: The study revealed that although most mothers recognized the importance of maintaining their children’s oral health, there were gaps in their daily practices. A considerable number of mothers reported inconsistent toothbrushing routines, limited supervision, and inadequate knowledge about proper brushing techniques. Sugary snacks and bottle-feeding habits were also commonly reported, contributing to an increased risk of early childhood caries. Additionally, access to regular dental check-ups remained low due to distance and lack of awareness. Conclusion: The findings suggest that while mothers recognize the general importance of oral hygiene, their actual practices remain suboptimal. Strengthening maternal education and improving access to dental health services are crucial for enhancing early childhood oral health in Guali Village. Community-based interventions are recommended to support sustainable behavior change

Abstract

Introduction: Maternal nutrition plays a fundamental role in ensuring optimal fetal growth and development. Inadequate nutrient intake during pregnancy increases the risk of complications such as low birth weight, preterm birth, and developmental delays. This study examines the nutritional status of pregnant women and its impact on fetal development, focusing on dietary practices and maternal perceptions of nutrition. Methods: This qualitative study involved in-depth interviews with 20 pregnant women selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using semi-structured interview guides and analyzed through thematic content analysis. The study focused on participants’ nutritional knowledge, dietary behaviors, access to nutritious foods, and perceptions of fetal development. Results: Findings revealed three major themes: (1) Maternal nutritional awareness, where most participants had basic knowledge of essential nutrients but lacked detailed understanding of recommended dietary intake; (2) Dietary practices and influencing factors, showing that meal patterns were often inconsistent due to socioeconomic constraints, food aversions, and cultural beliefs; and (3) Perceived impact on fetal development, with participants acknowledging the importance of nutrition but demonstrating limited ability to maintain balanced diets. Poor nutritional status was commonly associated with symptoms such as fatigue, inadequate weight gain, and concerns about fetal growth. Conclusion: The study concludes that suboptimal nutritional status among pregnant women may have a negative impact on fetal development. Improving maternal nutrition requires targeted educational interventions, enhanced access to nutritious foods, and culturally appropriate health counseling. Collaboration between healthcare providers, families, and community programs is essential to promote healthier dietary behaviors during pregnancy. Further research is recommended to explore effective strategies for improving maternal dietary adherence.

Abstract

Introduction: The inappropriate use of antibiotics in the community remains a major public health concern, as it can lead to treatment failure, increased risk of side effects, and the emergence of antibiotic resistance. Consumer perception plays an important role in determining whether antibiotics are used correctly. This study aims to describe consumer perceptions regarding the use of antibiotic drugs in PK IV RT 003/RW 002, Tamalanrea District, Makassar City. Methods: This descriptive study employed a survey approach using a structured questionnaire consisting of seven statements related to knowledge and perceptions of antibiotic use. A total of 44 respondents, selected through purposive sampling with inclusion criteria of being between 18 and 60 years old and having used antibiotics, participated in the study. Data were analyzed using a Likert scale scoring system and presented in percentage form to determine the perception category. Results: The findings indicate that most respondents demonstrated good perceptions of antibiotic use, with an overall score of 73.91%. Respondents generally understood that antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections, must be taken until finished, and that improper use can contribute to bacterial resistance. However, misconceptions were still found, particularly the belief that antibiotics can treat viral infections such as colds and flu. Conclusion: Overall, consumer perceptions of antibiotic use fall into the good category. Nevertheless, certain misunderstandings persist. Continuous health education, including counseling and access to reliable health information platforms, is recommended to enhance community understanding and prevent antibiotic resistance.
