Abstract

Background: Monitoring toddler development is a crucial aspect of early detection of growth and developmental issues in children. However, its implementation in Indonesia still faces various challenges, such as low parental awareness and limited access to health services. This study aims to identify factors associated with toddler development monitoring based on data from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (SKI). Methods: This research used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design involving all children aged 0–6 years across Indonesia. Data were collected through standardized questionnaires and structured interviews, and analyzed using simple linear regression to assess the relationship between socioeconomic factors, ownership and use of the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) handbook (KIA Book), and access to community health centers in relation to child development monitoring. Results: The results indicate that the most dominant factor supporting development monitoring is the ownership and use of the MCH handbook, showing a very strong and significant correlation (R = 0.781 and R = 0.788). Easy access to Puskesmas also had a significant effect (R = 0.681). In contrast, economic status showed a weaker and statistically insignificant relationship in most categories. Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of increasing parental awareness of the MCH handbook and optimizing access to health services to support more effective child development monitoring.

Abstract

Hypertension is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease, stroke and premature death. It is a serious public health problem. Reports show that only 54% of adults with hypertension are diagnosed, 42% receive treatment and 21% can control their hypertension. These statistics show how important it is to increase awareness and control of hypertension. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of providing hypertension treatment education on medication adherence and control to health care facilities in Indonesia. This study is a cross-sectional analytical study using secondary data from the Indonesia Health Survey (SKI) 2023. The independent variable is hypertension treatment education, the dependent variable is adherence to taking medication and control to health care facilities. Bivariate data analysis used simple linear regression test. The results of providing hypertension education is effective on the regularity of taking anti-hypertensive drugs with statistical test results obtained p-value 0.002, as well as hypertension education is also effective on routine control to health care facilities with p value 0.000. In addition, the factors of age, education, employment and economic status affect the regularity of taking antihypertensive drugs with p value < 0.05. Hypertension treatment education is effective on the regularity of taking medication and control to health care facilities in Indonesia. The characteristics of age, education, employment and economic status affect the regularity of taking antihypertensive drugs.

Abstract

Stunting is still a global health issue, especially in lower-middle class countries, the problem of stunting reflects a multidimensional problem that has not been addressed effectively. In Indonesia, the prevalence of stunting has decreased significantly by 18.9% in 2023, but has not reached the target set at 14%. This study is a qualitative study with a causal loop diagram analysis approach, the causal loop diagram method was chosen because it is able to describe problems that interact dynamically as causality. Data collection by interviewing 23 informants and analyzing documents on the achievement of specific interventions in 2023 from the Pekalongan District Health Office. There are five key variables identified, namely the ability of officers, specific interventions, budget, community roles and access to health services. The results of the CLD analysis formed 26 causal links, strengthening one loop and balancing two loops. The findings highlight the disparity in access to health services and the role of the community that is not yet optimal. Policy recommendations, improve cross-sector coordination to improve the provision of health services and increase the role of the community, especially mothers of toddlers and cadres in specific nutrition interventions. The use of CLD analysis in holistic and strategic specific nutritional interventions in identifying stunting problems to determine the most appropriate interventions.

Abstract

The elderly represents the final stage in the human life process, characterized by various physical, cognitive, and functional limitations that arise due to the degenerative process. According to statistical data from 2022, the proportion of the elderly population increased from 7.57% in 2021 to 10.48% in 2022. One of the most prevalent conditions among the elderly is dementia, which manifests as a progressive decline in memory, cognitive abilities, and the capacity to perform daily activities. Without intervention, dementia symptoms worsen over time, necessitating targeted therapeutic approaches to prevent its progression. Engaging in recreational activities, such as playing games, has been shown to keep the mind active and foster cognitive engagement. This is particularly important for the elderly, especially those at risk of or experiencing mild dementia. The "Balloon Breathing Exercise Game" is a simple yet engaging activity that involves the use of locally crafted wooden tools, woven bowls, and plastic balls. This game aims to stimulate cognitive functions, enhance memory, and improve concentration in 11 elderly individuals. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Balloon Breathing Exercise Game as a therapeutic medium for managing mild dementia in the elderly. A quasi-experimental research design was used, utilizing a one-group pretest-posttest approach to assess the effect (impact) of the intervention. Statistical analysis using a correlation test yielded a significance (sig.) value of 0.021 (<0.05), indicating a significant effect of the Balloon Breathing Exercise Game on reducing Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores in elderly individuals with mild dementia. Furthermore, a paired sample t-test yielded a sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.005 (<0.05), indicating a significant difference between pretest and posttest MMSE scores following the intervention. In conclusion, the Balloon Breathing Exercise Game is an effective therapeutic medium for managing mild dementia in elderly individuals.

Abstract

The achievement of stunting reduction in Indonesia is still below the national target. The low coverage of preventive health efforts in several regions is one of the causes of the high prevalence of stunting in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to analyze the modeling of the coverage of preventive health efforts with the prevalence of stunting in toddlers in Indonesia. A type of analytical descriptive research with a cross-sectional design. The research data is sourced by Indonesian Health Profile, 2023. The collected data was then processed and analyzed using simple and multiple regression statistical tests. There was a linear relationship between coverage of complete basic immunization, monitoring the growth of childs, implementation of GERMAS, and proper sanitation with the prevalence of stunting in toddlers in Indonesia (p-value ≤ 0.05). The coverage of monitoring the growth of childs and proper sanitation was feasible to significantly predict the prevalence of stunting in toddlers in Indonesia (p-value ≤ 0.05) with the regression model equation being stunting = 55.837-0.211*CMGT-0.209*CPSA. The increasing coverage of monitoring the growth of childs and proper sanitation was predicted to further reduce the prevalence of stunting in childs in Indonesia. There is a need to improve the coverage of monitoring the growth of childs and proper sanitation, especially in low-coverage areas through an integrative and comprehensive approach that involves the active participation of the government, communities, and other sectors.

Abstract

The escalating prevalence of overweight among women of reproductive age in Indonesia has emerged as a critical public health challenge. This study aims to analyze temporal trends in overweight prevalence among Indonesian women aged 15–49 years and investigate age-specific risk patterns using nationally representative longitudinal data. Utilizing the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) across all five waves (1993–2014), we extracted anthropometric, demographic, and socioeconomic data from the USbook health examination module. A total of 53,348 observations were analyzed after excluding outliers, with overweight defined as BMI ≥25 kg/m². Univariable logistic regression was employed to finding. The result demonstrated a marked increase in overweight prevalence from 18.8% (947/5,038) in 1993 to 38.3% (5,094/13,290) in 2014. While the highest prevalence initially clustered in women aged 35–39 years (1993–2007), a notable shift occurred in 2014, with the 30–34-year cohort surpassing other groups. Regression analysis revealed a significant age-gradient association, peaking at ages 40–44 (OR: 2.14, 95% CI: 1.89–2.43, p<0.001), suggesting heightened vulnerability in this demographic despite younger cohorts exhibiting faster prevalence growth. These findings underscore the dual burden of overweight among Indonesian women: an expanding younger population with rising incidence and persistently elevated risk in perimenopausal groups. The study advocates for life-course-targeted interventions prioritizing women aged 40–44 while addressing upstream determinants across reproductive-age populations. This longitudinal evidence provides critical insights for policymakers to design age-stratified strategies combating Indonesia’s overweight epidemic.

Abstract

WHO recommends Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (EIBF) during the first hour of life, maintaining exclusive breastfeeding for up to 6 months postpartum, and continuing breastfeeding after this period in addition to healthy foods suitable for infants up to 2 years of age or more. This form of feeding is considered effective in ensuring the health and survival of newborns worldwide. Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (EIBF) will also greatly assist in the sustainability of exclusive breastfeeding (breast milk only) and the duration of breastfeeding. The percentage of newborns who received EIBF in Central Java Province in 2023 was 87.7%, an increase compared to the achievement in 2022 of 85.9%. Meanwhile, the percentage of exclusive breastfeeding for infants aged 0-6 months in Central Java in 2023 was 64.3%, decreasing when compared to the percentage of exclusive breastfeeding in 2022, which was 71.4%. The purpose of the study was to answer the relationship between Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (EIBF) and Exclusive Breastfeeding. The analysis involved Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (EIBF) as an independent variable, and Exclusive Breastfeeding as a dependent variable. The relationship analysis was carried out using a scatter plot diagram. There are 5 regencies or cities that have exclusive breastfeeding coverage above the target of 80%, namely Klaten Regency, Jepara Regency, Purworejo Regency, Semarang City and Rembang Regency. Meanwhile, the lowest exclusive breastfeeding coverage was achieved by Semarang Regency (25.54%), with EIBF coverage (94.82%). There is a linear and positive relationship between Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (EIBF) and exclusive breastfeeding. It is necessary to examine other variables that contribute to exclusive breastfeeding to increase the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in regencies or cities that have not met the target.

Abstract

Background: Postpartum depression (PPD) is a common non-psychotic mental disorder that occurs after childbirth and negatively impacts maternal quality of life, child development, and family stability. This study aims to analyze the association between maternal factors and the incidence of PPD in primigravida mothers in Indonesia based on the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (SKI) data. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design with the source of data from SKI 2023. The study subjects were 36956 primigravida mothers with infants ≤6 months of age. Postpartum depression was measured using the Indonesian version of the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI). Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to identify factors associated with the incidence of PPD. Results: The prevalence of PPD in primigravida mothers was 6.4%. Factors that were significantly associated with PPD included: region of residence (p = 0.001), abuser relationship (p = 0.001), marital status (p = 0.001), and no antenatal care check-up (p = 0.001). Maternal age, pregnancy complications, and delivery complications showed no statistically significant association with PPD (p > 0.05). Conclusion: These findings can help in the development of policies focusing on community-centered approach, as well as enhanced mental health services for mothers to assist in the prevention of PPD.

Abstract

Background: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide, with persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection (types 16 and 18) accounting for approximately 70% of cases. Despite the availability of HPV vaccination and screening programs, Indonesia has a low screening coverage rate (12%). Female nurses and midwives play a crucial role in cervical cancer prevention, yet their knowledge, perceptions, and screening practices remain underexplored. Objective: This study aims to assess the knowledge, perceptions, and screening practices of female nurses and midwives in Jepara District, Indonesia, and identify key barriers to participation in screening programs. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted at RSUD Dr. Rehatta, Jepara, involving 74 registered female nurses and midwives. Data were collected using a validated self-administered questionnaire, and descriptive analysis was performed using SPSS version 20. Results: The majority of respondents were aged 20–30 years (37.1%) and over 40 years (37.1%), with 87.1% married. While 98.6% were aware of cervical cancer and 89.2% identified HPV as its primary cause, only 35.3% knew the recommended screening frequency. Although 94.7% recognized cervical cancer as preventable, only 40.0% perceived themselves at risk, and merely 32.0% had undergone screening. The primary barriers included fear of diagnosis (74.7%), embarrassment (56.0%), and misconceptions regarding the necessity of screening in the absence of symptoms (54.7%). Conclusion: Despite high awareness of cervical cancer, screening participation remains low due to psychological, social, and cultural barriers. Structured education, mandatory training, and targeted awareness programs are essential to improving screening uptake among healthcare professionals.
