Abstract

Background: Anemia remains a significant public health issue, particularly among adolescent girls, due to its impact on cognitive development, productivity, and reproductive health. This study aims to investigate the association between anemia status and specific contributing factors—including nutritional status (underweight, overweight/obese), dietary intake (staple food and protein consumption), and socioeconomic status (parental education, pocket money)—among adolescent girls aged 12–18 years in Bekasi, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2018 across five high schools in Bekasi, involving 345 adolescent girls aged 12-18 years. Data were collected through food frequency questionnaires, anthropometric measurements, and hemoglobin level tests. Anemia was classified based on WHO guidelines. Statistical analysis included univariate, bivariate, and multivariate tests to identify significant predictors. Results: The prevalence of anemia among participants was 30.7% (95% CI: 25.9%–35.8%), with mild anemia being the most common type, accounting for 48.1% of anemic cases. Overweight or obese participants were significantly more likely to be anemic (OR = 3.52, 95% CI: 1.65–7.51, p = 0.001). Staple food consumption frequency also showed a significant association with anemia risk (OR = 1.75, 95% CI: 0.95–3.21, p = 0.070). However, no significant association was found between socioeconomic status and anemia. Conclusion: In conclusion, this study highlights the role of nutritional status and dietary patterns in anemia prevalence among adolescent girls. Public health interventions should focus on improving dietary quality and addressing both undernutrition and overnutrition. Future research should investigate the effectiveness of iron supplementation programs, the bioavailability of iron in staple diets, and the role of fortified school meals in reducing anemia risk in this population.

Abstract

Background: Anxiety experienced by pregnant women can cause complications during pregnancy and childbirth that can occur in both the mother and the baby. Finger grip and breath relaxation therapy can lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure. One of the movements in yoga is relaxation by gripping fingers and regulating breathing. This movement relaxes the muscles so that it spreads the stimulus to the hypothalamus. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of yoga and hypnoprenatal classes on pregnant women with high risk of anxiety in pregnant women, before and after yoga and hypnoprenatal classes, in the treatment and control groups. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with one group pretest posttest design. The sample in this study were pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria, namely pregnant women with a risk age of <20 and >35 years, parity >2, pregnant in the second and third trimesters at the Health Centers throughout Boalemo Regency. The sampling technique used stratified random. In this study, the sample used the proportion formula from Lameshow. The data collection technique uses the HARS scale instrument to measure the level of anxiety of pregnant women which has been tested for validity and reliability internationally. The test used is t dependent test. Results: Based on the mean value of maternal anxiety before and after giving yoga and hypnoprenatal classes is 0.612 and the standard deviation is 0.571. The results of the statistical test obtained a p-value of 0.000. HO is rejected, there is a difference in anxiety scores before and after yoga and hypnoprenatal classes. Conclusion: The conclusion is that there is an influence of yoga and hypnoprenatal classes on pregnant women with high risk of anxiety in pregnant women. There is a significant difference between anxiety before and after giving yoga and hypnoprenatal classes.

Abstract

Background: The procedure for storing medical record documents (MRDs) involves sorting the records by their medical record numbers before returning them to the medical records department and placing them in storage. This process facilitates the retrieval of required records and streamlines storage operations, thereby preventing misfiling when the documents are needed for patient care. Delays in locating MRDs on the filing racks can result from storage or placement errors, commonly referred to as misfiling. Efficient storage of medical record documents (MRDs) requires proper sorting by medical record numbers before returning them to the filing system. This process ensures quick retrieval and minimizes errors. However, delays in locating MRDs often occur due to misfiling—typically caused by improper storage or placement. This study aims to identify factors contributing to misfiling, focusing on the storage system, alignment, numbering, and human resources. Methods: This study is quantitative research with a descriptive design. The analysis used is univariant analysis. The population comprises inpatient medical records returned from the care units after patient discharge during the period of January to December 2023. The sampling method employed is non-probability sampling, specifically using accidental sampling. Results: Among 50 inpatient MRDs stored in the filing room at Makassar City Regional General Hospital, 15 (30%) were misfiled Conclusion: The factors contributing to the misfiling of medical record documents in the filing room include incompetent medical record personnel, misalignment in the filing system, the absence of tracers, and the lack of an expedition logbook. Misfiling was associated with several factors, including untrained personnel, inconsistencies in the filing alignment, absence of tracers, and the lack of a delivery logbook (previously referred to as an “expedition logbook”) used to track the movement of documents. Addressing these issues may improve filing accuracy and support patient care efficiency.

Abstract

Background: Stunting prevention in Sikka Regency remains suboptimal, partly due to limited community awareness of the critical importance of the First 1,000 Days of Life. Faith-based organizations, such as the Family Pastoral Commission of the Maumere Diocese, have the potential to complement public health efforts through family-centered education; however, empirical evidence on community responses to these interventions is limited. This study aimed to examine the relationship between community understanding, appreciation, and satisfaction regarding the Commission’s role in supporting the First 1,000 Days of Life. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional correlational study was conducted among 2,427 respondents from 38 parishes who had participated in First 1,000 Days of Life–related activities. Data were collected between June and September 2024 using validated questionnaires and analyzed using the Gamma correlation test. Results: Strong and statistically significant positive correlations were observed between understanding and appreciation (r = 0.973), understanding and satisfaction (r = 0.964), and appreciation and satisfaction (r = 0.931) (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Community understanding strongly influences appreciation and satisfaction toward faith-based interventions in stunting prevention. Strengthening educational content and facilitator capacity within family pastoral programs may enhance multisectoral efforts to reduce stunting.

Abstract

Introduction: Cultural and socioeconomic factors affecting sanitation, hygiene, and academic performance in Gorontalo remain unexplored, necessitating further study to develop targeted interventions and foster collaboration among stakeholders. This research aims to analyze the relationship between nutrition, personal hygiene, and academic performance among primary school students in Gorontalo. Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was conducted in Gorontalo City and Gorontalo Regency in 2019, involving 456 children aged 8–11. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, weight (digital scales), and height measurements (microtoise). Statistical analysis was performed using chi-square and logistic regression techniques. Results: Results indicated no significant difference in personal hygiene between urban and rural students (p=0.805), but significant variation in nutritional status (p=0.006). Regression analysis showed a strong correlation between personal hygiene and academic performance (β=1.880, OR=6.556, p=0.002). These findings underscore personal hygiene as a critical factor for improving academic performance, particularly as outdoor play activities may compromise hygiene among primary school-aged children. Enhancing personal hygiene should therefore be prioritized to improve both health and education outcomes. Conclusion:  Although no major differences in hygiene were found, nutritional disparities highlight the need for interventions addressing access to nutrition and hygiene education. Recommendations include fostering collaboration between schools, families, and community stakeholders to address sanitation and hygiene issues comprehensively. Further research should investigate cultural and socioeconomic factors influencing the interplay between hygiene, nutrition, and academic outcomes, ensuring context-specific strategies are implemented to enhance children’s well-being and performance.

Abstract

Background: One of the main risk factors for cardiovascular disease and the leading cause of death worldwide, including in Indonesia, is dyslipidemia. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between demographic characteristics and central obesity with dyslipidemia among adults in Indonesia. Methods: This study used national Basic Health Research data from 2018. Study design is cross sectional. This study was conducted in September 2024. The study population consisted of individuals aged 25–45 years in Indonesia. Initially, the sample size included 305,457 respondents, but after data cleaning, 12,796 respondents with complete data remained. The analysis was conducted univariately using frequency distribution and percentages, bivariately using chi-square tests, and multivariately using multiple logistic regression. Results: The results of bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between age (p=0.000, OR=1.46), gender (p=0.000, OR=1.53), central obesity (p=0.000, OR=1.79) and dyslipidemia. There was no relationship between level of education and dyslipidemia (p=0.283). Central obesity showed the strongest association in multivariate analysis Conclusion: In conclusion, the variables associated with dyslipidemia are age, gender, and central obesity.  Central obesity emerged as the strongest predictor of dyslipidemia in the multivariate analysis. Management of central obesity such as dietary improvements and increased physical activity should be considered to decrease risk of dyslipidemia.

Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a major public health problem in low- and middle-income countries and is closely linked to inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) conditions through repeated infections and impaired nutrient absorption. Evidence on the role of WASH across a broader child age range remains limited. This study aimed to systematically review the association between WASH factors and stunting among children aged 0–14 years. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Articles published in English between 2013 and 2023 were retrieved from PubMed and Scopus using the keywords “water,” “sanitation,” “hygiene,” “WASH,” and “stunting.” Observational studies conducted in low- and middle-income countries were included. Two reviewers independently screened titles, abstracts, and full texts. Results: A total of 83 studies were included, predominantly cross-sectional in design. Most studies were conducted in East Africa and Southeast Asia. Consistent evidence showed that unimproved water sources, lack of water treatment, poor sanitation facilities, open defecation, unsafe disposal of child feces, and inadequate hygiene practices—particularly handwashing—were significantly associated with increased risk of stunting. Improved water access, sanitation infrastructure, and hygiene behaviors were identified as protective factors. Conclusion: Inadequate WASH conditions are strongly associated with childhood stunting. Integrating WASH interventions, especially sanitation and hygiene improvements, with nutrition programs is essential to reduce stunting and promote healthy child growth in low- and middle-income countries.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) requires long-term treatment, and non-adherence remains a major challenge that increases the risk of treatment failure and disease transmission. The Information–Motivation–Behavioral (IMB) model highlights the importance of social support in improving adherence. Community-based organizations, particularly youth and religious organizations, are deeply embedded in society and have the potential to support TB patients through information dissemination and motivational assistance. This study aimed to explore the role of community organizations in providing information and motivation to enhance treatment adherence among TB patients. Methods: A qualitative study with a phenomenological approach was conducted in the Serdang Bedagai health service area, North Sumatra, Indonesia. A total of 24 informants, including health workers, members of youth and religious organizations, and TB patients, were recruited using purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using qualitative content analysis supported by Atlas.ti software. Results: Three main themes emerged: adherence to treatment, establishment of cooperation, and motivation. Community organizations supported adherence by facilitating regular meetings, assisting medication intake, establishing communication groups, and providing emotional, informational, and family support. Conclusion: The involvement of youth and religious organizations plays a critical role in strengthening TB treatment adherence. Integrating community-based support with health services may enhance motivation, supervision, and long-term treatment compliance among TB patients.

Abstract

Background: Sweet potato leaves are widely consumed in Indonesia and have been traditionally used to help overcome anemia due to their mineral and vitamin content. This study aimed to analyze the mineral and vitamin C content of green and red sweet potato leaves and to assess their potential role in supporting hemoglobin formation. Methods: This type of research is descriptive by explaining the results of laboratory tests on water extracts and red and green sweet potato leaves. Samples of water extract from 10 red sweet potato leaves and 10 green sweet potato leaves. Meanwhile, for the leaf extract, each leaf was air-dried for 1 week and then placed in an oven at 1050C for 3 days until the weight remained constant. To analyze the minerals, samples were tested using a SHIMADZU Type AA-7800 Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). Vitamin C analysis was performed using the titration method. Results: The results of the study were obtained from the green leaf extract Fe 56.36 gr, Ca 1052.2 gr, Mg 3.3 gr. Red leaves Fe 55.46 gr, Ca 285.9 gr, and Mg 32.46 gr. The content of boiled water extract for 10 minutes Fe 0.15 mg/l, Ca 0.54 mg/l, Mg 1.9 mg/l. Pink leaves Fe 0.08 mg/l, Ca 0.745 mg/l, Mg 1.88 mg/l. Dark red leaves Fe 0.11 mg/l, Ca 0.95 mg/l, Mg 1.92 mg/l. Water extract with added sugar on green leaves Fe 0.04 mg/l, Ca 0.84 mg/l, and Mg 1.89 mg/l. Red leaves Fe 0.08 mg/l, Ca 1.27 mg/l, and Mg 1.91 mg/l. The vitamin C content of green sweet potato leaves is higher than that of red sweet potato leaves, indicating its potential as a more effective food source to increase hemoglobin levels and overcome anemia. Conclusion: Sweet potato leaves contain important nutrients, based on the results of extracts from green sweet potato leaves containing higher concentrations of minerals and vitamin C.
