Abstract

Background: Stunting is a chronic growth disorder caused by long-term inadequate nutritional intake, particularly during the first 1,000 days of life. This condition does not occur at birth but develops over time and becomes evident as impaired linear growth in children under five years of age. Objective: This study aimed to assess mothers’ knowledge regarding stunting prevention before and after the provision of module-based education in Sanrobone Village, Takalar Regency. Methods: This study used a quantitative descriptive design with a pre–post approach. The population and sample consisted of 62 pregnant women selected using total sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire administered before and after the educational intervention. Results: Before the intervention, 17 respondents (27.4%) had good knowledge, while 45 respondents (72.6%) had poor knowledge. After the intervention, the proportion of respondents with good knowledge increased to 37 (59.6%), while those with poor knowledge decreased to 25 (40.4%). These findings indicate a clear improvement in maternal knowledge following the educational intervention. Conclusion: Module-based education effectively improves mothers’ knowledge regarding stunting prevention. Strengthening educational interventions at the community level is essential to support early prevention efforts and improve child health outcomes.

Abstract

Background:  Children’s physical and mental health depends on a balanced diet that provides adequate nutrients to support optimal growth and development. Objective: This study aimed to describe children’s dietary habits and their nutritional status. Methods: This study employed a descriptive method with a cross-sectional design involving 59 elementary school students. Data were collected using a dietary questionnaire and anthropometric measurements, and analyzed descriptively using frequency and percentage distributions. Results: More than half of the respondents had appropriate dietary habits (55.9%) and normal nutritional status (57.6%). Among children with appropriate dietary habits, the majority had normal nutritional status (93.9%). In contrast, children with inappropriate dietary habits were more likely to experience undernutrition (42.3%) and overnutrition (46.2%). Conclusion: Appropriate dietary habits are associated with better nutritional status among children. Therefore, balanced and regular food intake, including essential nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and minerals, is important to support optimal child health.

Abstract

Background: Stroke is a medical condition caused by disruption of blood flow to the brain, leading to cell death and often resulting in paralysis. This condition can reduce patients’ confidence and independence, particularly among individuals in the productive age group. Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between service quality and the independence of stroke patients. Methods: This study employed a quantitative approach with an analytical cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 40 stroke patients receiving home care services. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using the Chi-square test. Results: The findings indicated a significant relationship between service quality and patient independence. Patients who received better-quality services tended to have higher levels of independence. Statistical analysis showed a p-value of 0.000 (< 0.05), confirming the significance of the relationship. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between home care service quality and the independence of stroke patients. Improving service quality is essential to enhance patient independence in home care settings.

Abstract

Background: Injectable contraceptives are the most widely used family planning method in Indonesia, accounting for approximately 63.7% of all contraceptive users. However, the use of three-month injectable contraceptives is often associated with side effects such as dizziness, menstrual irregularities, bleeding, and weight gain, which may influence acceptors’ knowledge and attitudes. Objective: This study aimed to examine the association between knowledge and attitudes of contraceptive acceptors and the side effects of three-month injectable contraceptives at a private midwifery practice. Methods: This study employed an analytic cross-sectional design. The study was conducted over five days at Midwife Hj. Lindawati’s Practice in Kembang Tanjong District, with a total population of 144 acceptors. A sample of 59 respondents was selected using the Slovin formula. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using appropriate statistical tests to determine the association between variables. Results: The findings showed a statistically significant association between knowledge and the side effects of three-month injectable contraceptives (p = 0.002; p < 0.05). Similarly, a significant association was found between attitudes and the side effects of three-month injectable contraceptives (p = 0.002; p < 0.05). Conclusion: There is a significant association between knowledge and attitudes of contraceptive acceptors and the side effects of three-month injectable contraceptives. Improving knowledge and fostering positive attitudes among acceptors may help in managing and reducing the impact of these side effects.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension remains a major global health problem, with a high prevalence and low treatment adherence. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that 50-70% of patients do not adhere to antihypertensive therapy, which can hinder optimal blood pressure control. In addition, body mass index (BMI) is an important factor This study aimed to examine the association between medication adherence and body mass index among elderly patients with hypertension in the working area of the UPTD Motoboi Kecil Health Center. Methods: This study employed a quantitative analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 76 respondents were selected using purposive sampling based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Medication adherence was measured using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8), and BMI was assessed through direct measurement of weight and height. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test to determine the association between variables. Results: The findings showed that 52.6% of respondents were categorized as non-adherent to medication, while 39.5% had underweight BMI. Statistical analysis revealed a significant association between medication adherence and BMI (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Medication adherence is significantly associated with body mass index among elderly patients with hypertension, indicating that adherence to treatment may reflect broader health behaviors influencing nutritional status. These findings highlight the importance of integrating adherence support and routine nutritional assessment into hypertension management in primary healthcare settings.
