Abstract

Stunting and malnutrition remain major public health problems in Indonesia. The Supplementary Feeding Program (PMT) is one of the nutritional interventions expected to improve the nutritional status of under-five children.To evaluate the effectiveness of the PMT program on the nutritional status of children under five in the working area of Mekar Sari Public Health Center. A descriptive quantitative study was conducted on 60 under-five children categorized as undernourished or severely undernourished based on WHO growth standards. Body weight data were collected between May and July 2025. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS to assess changes in average body weight before and after the intervention. The mean initial body weight of the children was 11.0 kg, which increased to 11.4 kg after the PMT intervention, with an average gain of 0.4 kg. A paired t-test showed a statistically significant difference (p = 0.002). The PMT program was effective in improving the body weight of undernourished children. However, the observed increase was modest, highlighting the need for additional interventions such as nutrition education, improved parenting practices, and sanitation improvements.

The instrument was a knowledge and attitude questionnaire, while data analysis used the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results showed a significant increase after education. Before the intervention, the majority of students had low knowledge and attitudes. After education, 97.6% of students were categorized as having good knowledge and 76.2% had good attitudes. The statistical test yielded p <0.05, indicating the effect of education on improving students' knowledge and attitudes. The conclusion of this study is that education on disposing of waste properly is effective in fostering environmental awareness from an early age, and can be an important strategy in character education in elementary schools.

Abstract

Physiologically, blood vessels tend to harden or stiffen with age. This hardening of the arteries forces the heart to work harder, leading to high blood pressure in older adults. An unhealthy lifestyle in older adults increases the risk of hypertension. The purpose of the study was to determine the lifestyle of elderly people with hypertension at the elderly health post in Panasan Hamlet, Tekenglagahan Village, Loceret District, Nganjuk Regency. This study used a descriptive design which was carried out on February 11, 2025 at the the elderly health post in Panasan Hamlet, Tekenglagahan Village, Loceret District, Nganjuk Regency. The population in this study were 40 elderly with hypertension. A sample of 40 respondents using the Total sampling technique. The research variable is lifestyle. Data collection using a questionnaire. The results of this study indicate that of the 40 respondents, the majority (28 respondents (70%) had a good lifestyle, and almost half (12 respondents (30%) had an unhealthy lifestyle. The results of this study were influenced by gender, age, occupation, and residence. A better lifestyle is more common in women because more household activities are carried out by women. Most have elementary school education, resulting in the elderly living a simple life with minimal stress, but a lack of understanding of healthy food consumed by the elderly, causing almost all of them to have poor eating habits.

Abstract

After delivery, the uterus gradually shrinks back to its original shape, a process known as uterine involution. One indicator of this involution process is a decrease in the uterine fundus (FFU). The uterine fundus descends 1-2 cm every 24 hours. On the first day postpartum, the FFU drops 1 cm below the umbilicus. The purpose of this study was to describe uterine involution on the first day in postpartum women with normal deliveries in the Delima Ward of Kertosono Hospital. This study used a descriptive design and was conducted from January 13, 2025, to February 13, 2025, and April 9, 2025, to May 9, 2025, in the Delima Ward of Kertosono Hospital. The population consisted of 29 postpartum women with normal deliveries. A sample of 25 respondents was selected using an accidental sampling technique. The research variable was uterine involution on the first day. Data were collected by measuring the FFU. Based on the research results, the majority of 25 respondents (14 respondents (56%) experienced uterine involution on the first day at 2 cm below the umbilical cord, and nearly half (11 respondents (44%) experienced uterine involution on the first day at 1 cm below the umbilical cord. The results of the research showed that the majority of uterine involution on the first day was 2 cm below the umbilical cord. This can be influenced by early mobilization (toileting), early breastfeeding (IMD), good nutritional status, age above 20-30 years, and parity of the mother who has had more than one postpartum period. Early mobilization and early breastfeeding (IMD) are the most important factors in accelerating uterine involution because they increase blood flow and help release the hormone oxytocin, which can stimulate uterine contractions.

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the treatment and nutritional status of postpartum mothers and the healing time of perineal wounds at the Oeekam Health Center. The design of the correlation research with a cross sectional approach. The population is all postpartum mothers with perineal lesions at the Oeekam Health Center, with a total sampling technique obtained a sample of 16 respondents. The independent variables are postpartum care and nutritional status, while the dependent variables are the length of time perineal wound heals. The instrument used observation, data analysis using linear regression test (α = 0.05). The results showed that half of the respondents (50.0%) had adequate perineal treatment, most of the respondents (62.5%) had normal nutritional status and half of the respondents (50.0%) had old perineal wound healing. The results of the simultaneous analysis showed that p-value = 0.000 < α = 0.05 then H0 was rejected and H1 was accepted, which means that there is a relationship between perineal care and nutritional status with the healing time of perineal wounds. Perineal care and nutritional status are interrelated in influencing the length of wound healing. Good wound care must be followed by good nutritional status so that wound healing takes place quickly. Postpartum mothers are expected to pay more attention to perienum care efforts and increase the consumption of nutritious food during the postpartum period.
