Abstract

Tobacco use is a major health burden in Indonesia, especially among men, while the use of cessation aids remains low. Although more individuals are attempting to quit, factors influencing successful cessation are not fully understood. This cross-sectional study analyzed data from the 2021 Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) Indonesia. A total of 1,111 respondents aged ≥15 years who had ever smoked were included. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox proportional hazard models assessed demographic and behavioral predictors of smoking cessation. Among respondents, 68.9% had quit smoking for at least 12 months. Women were more likely to quit than men (aHR = 4.23; 95% CI: 2.64–6.75). Education level was positively associated with cessation: medium (aHR = 1.79) and high (aHR = 2.17) education levels had higher quit rates than low education. Only students showed significantly higher cessation rates among employment groups (aHR = 6.19). Exposure to e-cigarettes was linked to lower cessation likelihood, although frequency of use was not significant. Female gender and higher education are key factors in successful smoking cessation. Programs should address social disparities and offer targeted support for less-educated and socially disadvantaged populations.

Abstract

Nutrition remains a major public health issue in Indonesia, significantly affecting the quality of human resources. One persistent nutritional problem is stunting, which continues to impact many communities, including Pacciongang Hamlet, where data showed a stunting prevalence of 11.1%. The program included problem identification, development of a problem-solving framework, and implementation through a series of activities: pre-test, health education, post-test, and practical training. One key intervention was a demonstration of preparing complementary food using local ingredients—specifically, Moringa leaves processed into nutritious pudding. Moringa was chosen due to its high protein content and availability in the village.  To evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention, pre- and post-tests were conducted to assess participants' knowledge on stunting, exclusive breastfeeding, and the benefits of Moringa. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed a significant increase in participants' understanding, with a p-value < 0.05, indicating a meaningful difference in knowledge before and after the counseling sessions. Additionally, the demonstration session successfully empowered participants to prepare and serve Moringa pudding following the given recipe. This initiative not only increased awareness of stunting prevention but also provided a practical solution using affordable and accessible local resources. In conclusion, the health education and training activities were effective in enhancing community knowledge and skills related to child nutrition and stunting prevention. This community-based approach highlights the importance of local resource utilization and participatory education in improving public health outcomes.
