Abstract

Background : Indonesia is experiencing a triple burden of malnutrition—undernutrition, overnutrition, and micronutrient deficiencies. Wasting reflects acute nutritional imbalance caused by inadequate dietary intake and infection. Evidence linking dietary diversity, household food security, and wasting remains limited, particularly in the Puskesmas Mangkupalas area. Objective : To assess the associations between dietary diversity, household food security, and other related factors with wasting among children aged 6–23 months in Puskesmas Mangkupalas. Research Methods : A cross-sectional study was conducted among 137 children aged 6–23 months from Puskesmas Mangkupalas, selected through purposive sampling. Data collected included sociodemographic characteristics, dietary diversity, 24-hour dietary recall, anthropometric measurements, macronutrient intake, and household food security. Spearman correlation tests were used to examine associations between variables. Results : The triple burden was evident, with 40.1% of children wasted and 11.7% overweight or obese. Nearly half (48.9%) consumed non-diverse diets. Dietary diversity (p = 0.100) and household food security (p = 0.379) were not significantly associated with wasting. Significant correlates included the presence of smokers in the household, recent child illness, market proximity, household income, and macronutrient intake—energy (p = 0.001, r = 0.354), fat (p = 0.048), and carbohydrates (p < 0.001). Conclusion/Lesson Learned : The coexistence of wasting and overweight reflects the ongoing nutrition transition. Addressing this issue requires multi-sectoral actions prioritizing modifiable household and dietary factors—such as smoking exposure, market access, and energy adequacy— beyond dietary diversity and food security measures to effectively reduce acute malnutrition.

Abstract

Background : Quality healthcare services are a top priority in improving community satisfaction as an indicator of public service performance. The Samarinda City Government, through the E- Kianpuas application, has introduced a digital-based public satisfaction survey to assess the quality of health services at community health centers (Puskesmas). This study focuses on dental and oral health services at the Air Putih Health Center, which play a vital role in enhancing community health status Objective : This study aims to describe community satisfaction with the quality of dental and oral health services using the E-Kianpuas application, analyzed through the five SERVQUAL dimensions: Tangibles, Reliability, Responsiveness, Assurance, and Empathy. Research Methods/ Implementation Methods : A quantitative descriptive survey approach was employed, referring to Regulation of the Minister for Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform (Permenpan) No. 14 of 2017. Data were collected from the E-Kianpuas application in 2024 involving 24 respondents aged 18–66 years. Measurements used a 1–4 Likert scale and were analyzed descriptively to calculate averages and convert them into the Community Satisfaction Index (IKM). Results : The overall IKM score was 84.38, categorized as “Good.” The Assurance and Responsiveness dimensions achieved the highest scores, reflecting fast, transparent, and safe services. Meanwhile, Tangibles, Reliability, and Empathy received lower scores, particularly regarding facilities, service time, and staff politeness. Conclusion/Lesson Learned : The E-Kianpuas application effectively evaluates health service quality and supports continuous improvement. Although Air Putih Health Center meets public expectations, enhancing physical facilities, procedural efficiency, and interpersonal communication is essential for optimal service quality.

Abstract

Adolescents in Islamic boarding schools often experience limited access to health information and nutrition education, which can lead to unhealthy dietary behaviors and low awareness of balanced nutrition. Improving health literacy at this stage is essential to promote lifelong healthy habits. However, evidence regarding the effectiveness of interactive nutrition education in this specific educational context remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of interactive nutrition education in improving the knowledge and attitudes of adolescents in an Islamic boarding school toward a healthy lifestyle. A quasi-experimental design with a one group pretest posttest approach was conducted among 30 students. The intervention consisted of interactive nutrition education sessions combining discussion, games, and visual media. Data on knowledge and attitudes were collected using validated and reliable instruments (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.708 for cognitive and 0.848 for attitude). Statistical analyses included paired t-tests and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Tests to assess differences before and after the intervention. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ knowledge after the intervention (t(29) = 7.581, p < 0.001), indicating that interactive nutrition education effectively enhanced cognitive understanding of healthy nutrition. Meanwhile, although the average attitude score increased after the intervention, the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.131). These findings suggest that while knowledge improved significantly, behavioral and attitudinal changes may require longer or repeated exposure to reinforcement activities. Interactive nutrition education is effective in improving adolescents’ nutritional knowledge in Islamic boarding schools and serves as a promising strategy for promoting healthy lifestyles. Future programs should incorporate continuous reinforcement and experiential learning to sustain attitudinal and behavioral change.

Abstract

Kejadian Luar Biasa (KLB) keracunan makanan merupakan masalah kesehatan masyarakat yang membutuhkan respons cepat. Pada 14 Mei 2025, dilaporkan sejumlah siswa SMPN 4 Kintamani mengalami gejala akut keracunan setelah makan di kantin sekolah. : Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi sumber penyebab, pola penyebaran, dan faktor lingkungan yang mempengaruhi kejadian. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain case-control dengan pendekatan kuantitatif. Subjek terdiri dari 16 siswa sebagai kasus (memiliki gejala keracunan) dan 32 siswa sebagai kontrol (tanpa gejala), dipilih secara purposive. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara menggunakan kuesioner semi terstruktur, observasi sanitasi lingkungan, dan pemeriksaan laboratorium terhadap sampel air. Analisis bivariat menggunakan uji chi-square dan perhitungan odds ratio (OR) dengan CI 95% untuk menentukan hubungan antara konsumsi makanan dan kejadian keracunan. Gejala muncul 1–26 jam pascakonsumsi makanan, menunjukkan pola point source. Konsumsi ayam sisit berhubungan signifikan dengan kejadian keracunan (OR = 4,488; p = 0,004; CI 95%: 1,544 13,049). Seluruh kasus mengonsumsi ayam sisit. Uji laboratorium menunjukkan air minum mengandung Escherichia coli dan total coliform melebihi ambang batas. Kondisi kantin tidak higienis, dekat tempat sampah, dan banyak lalat mendukung kemungkinan kontaminasi silang. KLB diduga disebabkan oleh ayam sisit terkontaminasi, dengan faktor pendukung berupa sanitasi lingkungan yang buruk dan kualitas air tidak layak. Diperlukan peningkatan pengawasan kantin sekolah, pelatihan penjamah makanan, perbaikan sanitasi, dan penguatan surveilans dini untuk mencegah kejadian serupa.

Abstract

Background : Stunting remains a significant chronic nutritional problem in Indonesia, particularly among children born to adolescent mothers. These young mothers often face limitations in nutritional knowledge, lower health literacy, and suboptimal reproductive preparedness, which collectively increase the risk of stunting in their children. Objective : This study aimed to conduct a review to determine the association between adolescent mothers’ nutritional knowledge and the incidence of stunting in toddlers, and to identify the contributing factors. Research Methods/ Implementation Methods : This was a systematic review conducting following the PRISMA guidelines and utilizing the Population, Concept, and Context (PCC) framework. Articles were collected through searching the Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Crossref databases for studies up to October 2025. Two reviewers independently screened and included full- text article that examined Mothers Knowledge and stunting, focusing on the concept of knowledge, adolescent mother, and stunting. Results : A review included five articles. Adolescent mothers’ knowledge had a significant association with the incidence of stunting. This association was often strengthened by confounding factors such as socio-economic status, low education levels, limited access to healthcare services, and inadequate childcare practices. Several studies found that improving maternal nutritional literacy and initiating early prenatal care can effectively reduce the risk of stunting in children. Conclusion/Lesson Learned : Low nutritional knowledge among adolescent mothers is confirmed as an important determinant of stunting in toddlers. Intervention efforts need to be focused on enhancing the education and nutritional literacy of adolescent girls through structured programs, including school-based education, adolescent mother classes in community health centers (Puskesmas), and targeted community campaigns. The integrated approach is crucial to break the intergenerational cycle of stunting and foster the development of quality human resources.
