Abstract

Central Java Province is one of the provinces that often experiences disasters. During the period 1 May 2023 – 31 May 2023, 72 incidents of strong winds, 8 incidents of land moving, 107 incidents of flooding, 94 incidents of landslides, 6 volcanic eruptions, and 2 incidents of fire were recorded. In disaster emergencies, the health needs of mothers and children are often overlooked. This study aims to analyze the flow of maternal and child health referrals in health crisis management in the focus location regencies in Central Java Province. This research is descriptive research with a qualitative approach. Data was collected through Focus Group Discussion (FGD) in March 2023. The research locations were Semarang Regency, Brebes Regency, Grobogan Regency, and Klaten Regency. The sample selection technique used was purposive sampling. The integrated referral system is not yet running optimally. The health referral flow carried out is not yet specialized in treating mothers and children. Pentahelix collaboration is carried out in managing health crises. The supporting factors in disaster management are the existence of policies, the availability of infrastructure for evacuating victims, as well as coordination from various sectors. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors are the lack of trained human resources, limited logistics, and low public awareness regarding disasters. Thus, there is a need to develop a special referral pathway for maternal and child health involving multi-sectors, increase public awareness of disaster management, and strengthen Pentahelix collaboration in health crisis management.

Abstract

Having premarital sexual intercourse has a broad risk impact on health. This is in accordance with the teachings of Islam that should be upheld by all Muslims, with no exception for students living in Islamic boarding schools. To Islamic values and culture, students should have strong self-efficacy to prevent them from engaging in sexual behavior. This study aims to determine the effect of self-efficacy on the sexual behavior of students living in Islamic boarding schools. This cross-sectional study sampled 150 students who lived in Islamic boarding school in Semarang, Indonesia. Students at Islamic boarding schools who had premarital sex were more likely to be found in adolescents aged 19 years (15.2%), male (9.5%), had low self-efficacy (18.2%), and ever accessed pornography (23.1%). Accessing pornography was influenced by sex (p = 0.021, OR = 0.235), while premarital sexual intercourse behavior was influenced by age (p = 0.013, OR = 10.716) and self-efficacy (p = 0.043, OR = 4.602). Younger students with low self-efficacy are more likely to practice premarital sexual intercourse. This study found that accessing pornography had no effect on the practice of sex carried out by students in Islamic boarding schools. The health ministry needs to work with the religious affairs ministry to design programs aimed at increasing self-efficacy among students in Islamic boarding schools.

Abstract

Sanitation, childbearing age, number of children, and mother's age adequate is still the main challenge that has an impact on increasing the risk of stunting. This study aims to identify factors that affect the risk of stunting in children in Semarang City, Central Java Province, Indonesia, with a special focus on sanitation, childbearing age, number of children, and mother's age. The study used a linear regression research design with a sample of 383 mothers and their children in 2022. Data analysis was carried out using the ANOVA technique to evaluate the influence of independent variables on stunting risk. The results showed that sanitation (B = 1,060, p 0.001), age of delivery (B = 0.149, p = 0.018), and number of children (B = 1,027, p 0.001) had a significant positive relationship with stunting risk. In contrast, maternal age (B = -0.511, p 0.001) showed a significant negative association with stunting risk. These findings have important implications for the development of public health policies and practices, particularly in improving sanitation and nutritional interventions in young mothers and families with many children. This study makes a unique contribution by identifying specific variables that affect stunting risk in Indonesia, which can be used to develop more effective prevention strategies.
