Abstract

Background: The 2025-2029 NMDP targets a reduction in stunting of 14.4% in 2029 from a baseline of 18.8% in 2025. This means that stunting must be reduced by 4.4% over 4 years, or approximately 1.1% per year. Indonesia has only managed to reduce stunting by 0.1% per year. This research aims to identify best practices, provide policy insights, or analyze success factors. Methods: The study processed aggregate data at the district/city level from Basic Health Research 2018, Susenas 2018 and Gross Regional Domestic Product (PDRB) data from BPS 2018 with a cross-sectional design. Stunting was measured in children aged 0-23 months using standardized value (Z-score) using WHO Anthro 2018. Other data variables are presented in percentages. Correlation tests and path analysis were used to see the direct and indirect relationships of various risk factors to stunting. Results: There is a significant relationship between access to food and the prevalence of stunting at the district/city level (p-value <0.05; r-value = 0.19). Pregnancy check-ups (path coefficient = -0.29) and access to food (path coefficient = -0.31) have a significant direct contribution to the prevalence of stunting at the district/city level. Conclusion: Research findings state that pregnancy checks according to regulations and access to food are risk factors for stunting that have a major impact on reducing stunting in districts/cities. In low and medium categories of stunting, the government needs to pay attention to the disparity in the percentage of nutritional services for these two factors, along with other factors that are already running.

Abstract

Background: Upper back pain (UBP) is stiffness in the back that starts from the area behind the neck to the waist, which can cause pain. One type of work that is at risk is loading and unloading work. Loading and unloading workers at the port manually carry out their work with loads that exceed the limits recommended by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Manual handling activities carried out continuously can risk causing complaints of pain in the upper back. This research aims to determine the recommended weight limit (RWL) and Lifting index (LI) values ​​on loading and unloading workers, as well as to analyze the Ergonomic Risk Level in manual handling Activities using the NIOSH Lifting Equation method with UBP complaints. Methods: This research employs an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. The research sample employed an exhaustive sampling technique, involving as many as 50 participants. Measurement of ergonomic risk used questionnaires and the NIOSH Lifting Equation. Data analyzed using Spearman correlation test. Results: Based on the calculation of Lifting Index (LI) value, most respondents work with a moderate risk level (1-<3), namely 33 respondents (66%) and assesment result of UBP complaints used a questionnaire showed that 19 respondents (38%) stated that they often experienced UBP complaints due to their work activities, 14 respondents (28%) stated that they always felt UBP complaints, and 3 respondents (6%) never experienced complaints. Spearman correlation test obtained ρ-value = 0.000 (<0.05) and r = 0.727. Conclusion: There is a relationship between the risks of manual handling work and complaints of upper back pain in loading and unloading workers (TKBM). This relationship is strong and positive (unidirectional), meaning that the higher the risk of manual handling work, the higher the complaints of upper back pain experienced. If the manual handling risk value can be reduced, workers can avoid the risk of complaints of upper back pain.

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.
