Abstract

Background: Everyone has tonsils that can become problematic for some reason. Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the tonsils that occurs due to infection. Inflammation of the tonsils can cause discomfort and difficulty swallowing. These conditions cause disruption to daily activities. The incidence of tonsillitis in Indonesia is still quite high, especially in children aged 5-15 years. Tonsillitis itself is the second highest case in the ear nose and throat (ENT) field. Tonsillitis can occur due to several factors, one of which is closely related to diet and oral hygiene. This article is to determine the relationship between diet and oral hygiene on the incidence of tonsillitis in children. Methods: The method used was a literature review taken from several sources from 2019-2024. Database for this article such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct. The search keywords we used were diet, hygiene, tonsillitis, and child. Discussion: The highest incidence of tonsillitis in children is due to the body's imperfect immune response. This is supported by children's low knowledge of unhealthy diets such as eating fast food and preservatives. In addition, oral hygiene also contributes to the risk of tonsillitis where children cannot maintain their own hygiene such as washing hands before eating and brushing teeth twice a day. Conclusion: There is an association between diet and oral hygiene to tonsillitis supported by the immune system that is still in the developmental stage in children.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem due to malnutrition, especially during the first 1,000 days of life. In addition to affecting physical growth, stunting also affects children's cognitive development and immune system. Stunted children have a higher risk of recurrent infections such as respiratory infections and diarrhea, because their immune systems are not yet optimally developed. In Indonesia, the prevalence of stunting is still quite high and is one of the main health problems, caused by prolonged malnutrition that weakens the function of the child's immune system. Objective: To determine the relationship between stunting and resistance to infection in children, as well as the role of proper nutrition in improving health and endurance. Methods: A literature review covering various scientific sources from 2019-2024 through the Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct databases with the keywords "stunting," "immunity," "infection," and "children." Secondary data on the prevalence of stunting and infection are used to show the relationship between these two factors. Results and Discussion: Stunted children are more susceptible to infection because their immune systems are not yet optimal due to a lack of essential nutrients such as protein, zinc, and vitamins. Research shows that an unbalanced diet and zinc deficiency can weaken the immune response, making children more likely to experience respiratory infections and diarrhea. Repeated infections worsen their nutritional status, creating a cycle of malnutrition and infection that is difficult to break. Conclusion: Stunting is closely related to low body resistance to infection. Children who experience stunting have a higher risk of recurrent infections due to a less than optimal immune system. Appropriate nutritional intake, such as protein, zinc, and vitamins, plays an important role in increasing immunity and overcoming stunting.

Abstract

Background: Early childhood malnutrition is a significant public health problem, especially in developing countries. Its impact is not only limited to impaired physical growth, but also affects cognitive development, increases susceptibility to disease, and decreases future productivity. Early detection and effective prevention are essential to reduce the long-term impact of malnutrition and improve the quality of human resources. Growth Monitoring and Nutritional Surveillance are two key strategies in the fight against malnutrition. Growth Monitoring involves monitoring children's growth at regular intervals through weight weighing, height measurement, and nutritional status assessment, while Nutritional Surveillance focuses on collecting, analyzing, and interpreting nutrition data to monitor the nutritional status of the population and identify risk factors that contribute to nutritional problems. Objective: To assess the effectiveness of integrated Growth Monitoring and Nutritional Surveillance in detecting and preventing early childhood malnutrition. Methods: The method used was a literature review from various sources, including scientific journals, reports from health organizations, and government publications with a boundary of 2018-2024. Results and Discussion: The results and discussion show that the integration of Growth Monitoring and Nutritional Surveillance provides a comprehensive and effective approach. Growth Monitoring enables early identification of children at risk of growth disorders, while Nutritional Surveillance provides data on the prevalence, trends, and determinants of malnutrition for targeted interventions. Conclusion: The integration of Growth Monitoring and Nutritional Surveillance is essential to improve the effectiveness of early detection and prevention of malnutrition in early childhood.

Abstract

Background: Micronutrient deficiencies, such as iron, vitamin A, zinc, and iodine, remain critical nutritional issues in developing countries, including Indonesia. These deficiencies significantly impact public health, particularly among children and pregnant women, causing conditions like anemia, stunting, and increased susceptibility to infections. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of micronutrient supplementation in improving nutritional status, with a focus on identifying challenges and proposing solutions for sustainable interventions. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted using sources from Google Scholar. Keywords included “micronutrient supplementation,” “nutritional status improvement,” and “micronutrient deficiencies.” Journals were selected based on criteria such as publication within the last 20 years, relevance, and inclusion of clinical trials or human case studies. Data were classified by micronutrient type, target population, and measured outcomes. Results and Discussion: Micronutrient supplementation significantly improves nutritional status in vulnerable groups. Iron supplementation reduces anemia rates and associated complications, while vitamin A supplementation decreases infection-related morbidity and mortality. Zinc supplementation alleviates stunting and reduces diarrhea and respiratory infections in children. However, challenges such as limited accessibility, low compliance, and programmatic barriers persist, necessitating integrated approaches for sustainable outcomes. Conclusion: Micronutrient supplementation is effective in improving nutritional and health status, particularly among children and pregnant women. To optimize these outcomes, supplementation programs should be complemented by education, food-based interventions, and supportive government policies that ensure accessibility and sustainability.

Abstract

Adolescent mental health is a crucial aspect influenced by various psychosocial, emotional, and social factors. Changes in the lives of adolescents, such as the impact of social media, social pressure, and technological developments, can worsen their mental health conditions. The COVID-19 pandemic further exacerbated this situation, with many adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, and stress due to social restrictions and school closures. In addition, social stigma and a lack of understanding about mental health often create barriers to seeking help. Studies show that factors like positive interactions with family and peers can help reduce psychological symptoms, while a family's socioeconomic status also plays a role in adolescent mental health. This article examines the various factors affecting adolescent mental health and highlights the importance of family involvement and evidence-based interventions to support their psychological well- Methode : This research employs a literature analysis approach by reviewing relevant theoretical and empirical sources, including Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct. Conclusion : Adolescent mental health is influenced by psychosocial, socio-economic, and technological factors, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Anxiety, depression, and stress have increased, with stigma and a lack of mental health awareness exacerbating these conditions. Positive interactions with family and peers, as well as a family's socio-economic status, play a crucial role in supporting adolescent mental health. Efforts to improve mental health literacy, reduce stigma, and strengthen social support are essential for prevention and intervention.

Abstract

Abstract Background. Anemia is a condition when the number of red blood cells decreases to meet the physiological needs of the body. It is estimated that about 30% of the world's population suffers from anemia, and more than half of them are iron deficiency anemia. This review of various literatures intends to determine the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in adolescent girls, which by knowing this we can determine more targeted prevention and treatment strategies. Methods. The method used in this literature review is a literature search using keywords that match the topic through several databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar. The literature used is literature with a maximum publication year of 2019 or the last 5 years. The results obtained the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in adolescent girls. Discussion. All journals discussed the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in adolescent girls with the majority using cross-sectional and NHANES methods. Key findings include that the prevalence of anemia varies based on factors such as age, nutrition, menstrual cycle, and level of knowledge. General strengths include valid and relevant data, while weaknesses include limited generalizability, lack of analysis of specific factors, and terms that are complicated for lay readers. Conclusion. The prevalence rate of iron deficiency anemia in adolescent girls is still relatively low.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the countries with a high risk of natural disasters with a total of 20,380 cases between 2020-2024. The high number of disasters that occur will have an impact on the high number of casualties that must be handled by medical personnel. In the event of a disaster, the number of health workers is often less than the need to cause an increase in the mortality rate of victims, therefore as an effort to increase the efficiency of the number of health workers to provide treatment, it is necessary to apply triage, one of which is the Rapid Emergency Medicine Score (REMS) triage model. The purpose of writing this article is to determine the effectiveness of triage with the REMS model used by medical personnel and volunteers in disaster areas on disaster victims. The method used is a literature review taken from several sources with a limit of 2019- 2024. From the literature review, it is found that the application of the REMS triage model has proven effective during disasters. As during the Covid 19 pandemic, this is because the REMS triage method is simple and fast; flexible and has good prognostic value; and uses Vital Signs (TTV) parameters so that it can be applied to various situations and conditions. REMS is an effective triage model for non-trauma disaster victims.

Abstract

Abstract Background. HIV/AIDS remains one of the most significant global health challenges, particularly in developing regions such as Africa and Southeast Asia. Despite significant advances in treatment and prevention, the epidemic continues to be fueled by complex interactions between mental health, socio-economic, cultural, and behavioral factors. Objective: The objective of this study is to explore and analyze the various factors that contribute to the ongoing spread of HIV/AIDS, with a specific focus on the role of mental health, socio-economic status, and cultural practices. Method. This study employed a comprehensive literature review approach, analyzing data from peer-reviewed journals, WHO reports, and national health statistics. The review included articles published between 2019 and 2024, sourced from databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar, with a focus on studies that address the intersection of mental health and HIV, as well as the socio- cultural dynamics influencing the epidemic. Discussion. The results indicate that poor mental health significantly elevates the risk of engaging in high- risk behaviors associated with HIV transmission. Additionally, socio- economic disparities and cultural practices, such as stigma and discrimination, continue to exacerbate the prevalence of HIV, particularly in vulnerable populations. Conclusion: The findings underscore the critical need for integrating mental health services into HIV prevention and treatment programs. Furthermore, addressing the socio-cultural determinants of health is essential for reducing the global burden of HIV/AIDS and achieving more effective control of the epidemic.
