Abstract

Underweight in toddlers remains both a global and national health issue. In Balikpapan, the prevalence of underweight increased from 14.1% (2023) to 16.2% (2024). One of the government's efforts to address this problem is through Taburia, a multimicronutrient powder formulated to increase nutritional intake and support growth. However, its effectiveness has never been evaluated locally at the Karang Jati Health Center, Balikpapan City. This study is a quasi-experiment with a one-group pre-test and post-test design involving 30 underweight toddlers aged 6–24 months. The intervention consisted of Taburia administration for 30 days at a dose of 1 sachet every two days. Weight data were measured weekly, while nutrient intake was assessed using a 2x24-hour food recall. Analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed that Taburia administration had a significant effect on increasing the toddlers' body weight (p=0.005). The average weight gain for the 6–11 month age group was 400.0 ± 141.4 grams, and for the 12–24 month group, it was 376.9 ± 127.4 grams. Taburia also significantly increased protein intake (p=0.021) and fat intake (p=0.002), while increases in energy and carbohydrates were not significant (p>0.05). Taburia administration has a positive effect on weight gain and the improvement of protein and fat intake in underweight toddlers aged 6–24 months. This intervention has potential as a public nutrition strategy, especially in areas with a high prevalence of underweight. As a follow-up, the Taburia program needs to be expanded with family nutrition education and long-term monitoring, as well as further research with an RCT design and longer duration to strengthen the evidence of its effectiveness

Abstract

Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) is a serious nutritional problem to which adolescent girls are susceptible, and it can have detrimental effects on health and productivity. The prevalence of CED in Indonesia, particularly in Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT), remains high. The factors causing CED are multifactorial, including direct factors such as macronutrient intake and indirect factors such as body image, which can trigger unhealthy dieting behaviors. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between body image and intake of energy, protein, fat, and carbohydrates with the incidence of CED in adolescent girls at SMAN 7 Kupang. This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional design and was conducted from February to June 2025 at SMAN 7 Kupang. A sample of 93 female students from grades X and XI was selected using the Simple Random Sampling technique. Body image data were collected using the MBSRQ-AS questionnaire, macronutrient intake using a 24-hour food recall form, and CED status was measured with a Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) tape (cutoff <23.5 cm). Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test at a significance level of p<0.05. The majority of respondents were aged 15-16 years (66.7%) and came from families with income below the regional minimum wage (77.4%). Bivariate analysis results showed a significant relationship between negative body image (p=0.009), insufficient energy intake (p=0.016), insufficient protein intake (p=0.000), insufficient fat intake (p=0.024), and insufficient carbohydrate intake (p=0.030) with the incidence of CED.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of administering a mung bean beverage supplemented with red ginger on total cholesterol levels in female patients with hypercholesterolemia. The study utilized a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group approach. A total of 30 respondents were divided into two groups: treatment and control. The treatment group received the mung bean beverage with red ginger (250 ml) every morning for 14 days, while the control group received no intervention. Total cholesterol levels were examined using the Point of Care Testing (POCT) method before and after the intervention. Statistical analysis was performed using the paired t-test and the independent t-test. The results showed a significant decrease in total cholesterol levels in the treatment group from 240.33 ± 24.84 mg/dL to 207.07 ± 31.24 mg/dL (p = 0.000), with a mean difference of 33.27 mg/dL. Conversely, the control group experienced an increase in total cholesterol levels from 246.47 ± 28.65 mg/dL to 256.53 ± 27.51 mg/dL (p = 0.083). The independent t-test showed a significant difference between the two groups post-intervention (p = 0.000). The consumption of mung bean beverage with the addition of red ginger is effective in lowering total cholesterol levels in female patients with hypercholesterolemia. This intervention has the potential to be developed as a local food-based nutritional strategy for controlling dyslipidemia in primary health care

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the relationship between nutritional status, nutrient intake (including fat, fiber, and sodium), physical activity, and smoking habits, and the incidence of hypertension at the Cardiac Polyclinic of RSUD Banten. This study was conducted from January to February, utilizing a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design and a purposive sampling technique, involving 36 respondents. Research data were collected through direct interviews using the SQ-FFQ, IPAQ SF, and GN-SBQ questionnaires. The results showed that the majority of respondents (52.8%) in the Cardiac Polyclinic of RSUD Banten were female, aged 50–64 years, and had a family history of hypertension (63.9%). Most respondents (91.7%) experienced hypertension, with half of the respondents having excess nutritional status. Additionally, excessive fat intake (72.2%), low fiber intake (61.1%), and excessive sodium intake (27.8%) were found. A total of 44.4% of respondents had low physical activity, and 11.1% had a very heavy smoking habit. Based on the analysis using the Chi-square test, it was found that there were significant relationships between nutritional status (p=0.001), fat intake (p=0.021), physical activity (p=0.043), and smoking habits (p=0.020) with the incidence of hypertension, while there were no significant relationships between fiber intake (p=0.353) and sodium intake (p=0.529) with the incidence of hypertension. The conclusion of this study is that nutritional status, fat consumption, physical activity, and smoking habits are associated with the incidence of hypertension in outpatients at the Cardiac Polyclinic of RSUD Banten

Abstract

Adolescent girls are a group vulnerable to nutritional problems due to physical, psychological, and social changes that influence eating patterns. Nutritional status plays an important role in supporting optimal health. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between stress levels, body image, high sodium food consumption behavior, and nutritional status in adolescent girls in Palu City. This study employed a cross-sectional design with a sample of 110 adolescent girls aged 15–18 years selected using simple random sampling at a State Senior High School in Palu City. Data collection was performed using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) questionnaire to measure stress levels, the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) to assess body image, and the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) to evaluate high-sodium eating behavior. Nutritional status was measured based on BMI-for-age. Bivariate analysis was conducted using the Spearman rank test, while multivariate analysis utilized ordinal logistic regression. The results of the univariate analysis revealed that the majority of adolescent girls had a good nutritional status (78.2%), moderate stress levels (83.6%), and a negative body image (70.0%). The frequency of high sodium food consumption was mostly found in the rare category (39.1%). Bivariate analysis revealed no significant relationship between stress levels (p-value = 0.379) or body image (p-value = 0.838) and nutritional status. However, high sodium eating behavior had a significant relationship with nutritional status (p-value 0.002). Multivariate analysis also demonstrated that high sodium eating behavior remained a significant factor associated with the nutritional status of adolescent girls.

Abstract

The Elsimil application (Electronic Ready for Marriage and Pregnancy) was developed as a screening, education, and assistance tool for prospective brides. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of the Elsimil application combined with support from the Family Assistance Team (Tim Pendamping Keluarga/TPK) on nutritional knowledge, attitudes, and expectations among prospective brides in Palu City. This study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design with a non-randomized control group and a pretest–posttest design. The sample size was calculated using the formula for testing differences between two proportions, yielding a total of 54 respondents. Participants were randomly assigned to an intervention group (n = 27) and a control group (n = 27). Baseline data revealed significant differences in age and education level, with the control group being older and more highly educated. The intervention group received education through the Elsimil application, accompanied by TPK support, while the control group received conventional nutrition education using a booklet. Data were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney test and were supplemented with consideration of baseline confounders. Statistical analysis showed no significant differences between the intervention and control groups in terms of nutritional knowledge (p = 0.162), attitudes (p = 0.340), or nutritional expectations (p = 0.330). While the Elsimil application provides a digital platform for education, technical barriers and baseline demographic imbalances, particularly in education levels, significantly influenced the outcomes. Improvements in user interface design, offline accessibility, and targeted facilitator training are needed to enhance the application's effectiveness compared to traditional media.

Abstract

Nutritional problems among children under five, particularly stunting, remain a major public health challenge in East Kalimantan, especially in Samarinda. Findings from a preliminary study indicated that one contributing factor is the low level of maternal knowledge and attitudes regarding Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF). This study aimed to analyze the effect of IYCF education using the Emotional Demonstration (Emo-Demo) method on the knowledge and attitudes of mothers with children under five in the service area of Mangkupalas Primary Health Center. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group approach. A total of 34 mothers of children under five were recruited and divided equally into a control group (Booklet PINTAR, n = 17) and an intervention group (Emo-Demo, n = 17). Data on knowledge and attitudes were collected using structured questionnaires. Despite the observed improvements, it is important to note that significant sociodemographic disparities existed at baseline between the two groups, particularly regarding maternal education and household income. Data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon test to assess within-group changes and the Mann–Whitney test for between-group comparisons. The results showed a significant improvement in both knowledge and attitudes in the two groups; however, greater changes were observed in the intervention group. Education using the Emo-Demo method significantly increased maternal knowledge (p = 0.000) and attitudes (p = 0.001). Overall, the Emo-Demo method appeared more effective than printed media, although these findings must be interpreted with caution due to the baseline inequalities.

Abstract

The prevalence of stress among medical students has been reported to be 31.7% across six universities in Sudan and 58% at Andalas University. Academic stress is known to affect students’ performance, including failure in the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). This study aimed to examine the relationship between examination-related stress levels and OSCE passing outcomes in the Basic Clinical Skills (KKD) module among students of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa. This study employed an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The study participants were third- and fourth-year medical students, totaling 92. Examination stress levels were measured using the Westside Anxiety Test Scale, while OSCE passing status was obtained from secondary academic records. Bivariate analysis was conducted using the chi-square test. The most commonly reported level of examination stress was moderate (47.6%), followed by severe (37.0%) and mild (16.3%). The highest failure rate was observed in the BCS-OSCE 3 (23.9%), followed by BCS-OSCE 2 (10.9%) and BCS-OSCE 1 (7.6%). Bivariate analysis showed no significant association between examination stress levels and OSCE KKD passing status. Similarly, no significant relationship was found between daily study duration and OSCE passing outcomes.

Abstract

Wasting remains a serious public health problem in Indonesia, particularly in East Nusa Tenggara Province. Maternal factors, such as self-efficacy (confidence in one’s own abilities) and feeding practices, are believed to play a crucial role in determining young children's nutritional status. This study aimed to analyze the relationships among maternal self-efficacy, feeding patterns, and the incidence of wasting among children under five in the working area of the Penfui Community Health Center. An observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted. A total of 56 children were selected using simple random sampling. Maternal self-efficacy and feeding patterns were assessed using structured questionnaires, and wasting status was determined from anthropometric measurements using the weight-for-height index (WH). Data were analyzed using the chi-square test with a significance level of p < 0.05. The results showed a statistically significant association between maternal self-efficacy and the incidence of wasting (p < 0.05). The association between feeding patterns and wasting could not be statistically analyzed because the sample was entirely homogenous, with all respondents reporting appropriate feeding practices. In conclusion, maternal self-efficacy is an important factor associated with wasting among children under five. Therefore, nutrition interventions should emphasize strengthening maternal capacity and confidence in implementing appropriate child-feeding behaviors.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a significant chronic disease characterized by insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion. It is a leading cause of microvascular and macrovascular complications, including blindness, kidney failure, and cardiovascular disease. Records from Malinau Regional General Hospital in North Kalimantan documented 2,300 cases, a 23% increase from 2022 to 2024. One key strategy in T2DM management is dietary intervention, which plays a critical role in maintaining stable blood glucose levels. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between dietary adherence and random blood glucose levels among patients with T2DM at Malinau Regional General Hospital. An analytical cross-sectional survey design was employed, involving 34 outpatients with T2DM selected by convenience sampling. As accidental sampling is a form of convenience sampling, it inherently introduces selection bias, which serves as a limitation of this study. Dietary adherence was assessed using a questionnaire based on the MMAS-8 and the 2021 PERKENI guidelines. Random blood glucose levels were categorized as normal (< 200 mg/dL) or high (\ge 200 mg/dL). The results showed that patients who adhered to dietary recommendations were more likely to have normal random blood glucose levels (p < 0.001), indicating a significant association between dietary adherence and glycemic control.
