Abstract

Stunting is the impaired growth and development that children experience from chronic malnutrition, repeated infection, poor maternal health, and inadequate psychosocial stimulation. The focus of this study is determinants of stunting of 6 – 23 months children in East Nusa Tenggara Province using data from the Study of Indonesian Nutritional Status in 2021. This research is a quantitative study that uses a cross-sectional design. The results showed that the proportion of stunting in 6-23 months in NTT province was 32.8%. The results of the bivariate analysis showed that variables significantly associated with stunting included child age (OR: 1.723 CI 95% 1.215-2.445), gender (OR: 1.777 CI 95% 1.305-2.419), LBW (OR: 2.106 CI 95% 1.206-3.423), SBL (OR: 1.768 CI 95% 1.133-2.759), history of infectious disease (OR: 1.548 CI 95% 1.141-2.099), maternal education (OR: 1.555 CI 95% 1.136-2.127), and toilet sanitation (OR: 1.881 CI 95% 1.384-2.555). The results of multivariate analysis showed that the most dominant factor of stunting was a history of infectious diseases (p-value 0.003; OR: 2.244). Children who have a history of infectious diseases are at risk of stunting by 2.2 times higher than children who do not have a history of infectious diseases after being controlled by child age, gender, LBW, SBL, and toilet sanitation.

Abstract

In 2022, Semarang City experienced a 4-fold increase in dengue cases with IR: 51.7/100,000 residents, CFR: 3.8%. The purpose of the study was to determine the readiness of village-based dengue control based on IMS-dengue criteria in realizing integrated dengue prevention and control. The study was conducted in Bandarharjo Village, a high-risk community on the outskirts of Semarang City, consisting of 30 cadres and 83 people who had stayed for at least 6 months. Samples were taken using a purposive sampling technique. Analytical survey research, data collection with questionnaires, and observation checklists. The results of an integrated dengue control survey in households show that the use of mosquito repellent is still high (94.0%) and the use of larvicide to prevent mosquitoes in water reservoirs that are difficult to clean is preferred. Good practices in the use of mosquito nets during early morning sleep 42.2%, rearing larval predatory fish 61.4%, and the use of mosquito repellent plants (39.8%) are still quite minimal. Factors related to dengue control practices are perceptions of the seriousness of dengue disease in the community.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever, a disease caused by Aedes aegypti, can be prevented by reducing larval density using natural larvicides. This research aimed to investigate the natural larvicide effectiveness in reducing the Aedes aegypti larvae density in Medan City in 2023. This quasi-experimental research conducted a pre-test and post-test on the Container Index (CI). The population in this study was 1,057 houses in Ladang Bambu Village, the sample being 150 houses. The treatments were control and Ricinus communis-seed powder at 40 mg, 80 mg, 100 mg, and 120 mg/l doses in ovitraps, placed next to the water reservoir. Consider specifying the unit of measurement for the container index. The container index was calculated before (day 0) and after treatment (day 7). Data were analyzed using paired T-test, one-way ANOVA, and LSD. The results were that the modified ovitrap with the seed of Ricinus communis was effective in reducing the Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae density. The analysis showed a significant difference in the mean CI between the control and the modified ovitrap, the most effective dose in reducing CI being 100 mg/l of water. The community can use the 100 mg/l seed of Ricinus communis in ovitraps as an eco-friendly vector control.

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding is the action in which the infant only receives breast milk without any additional food or drink including water. In 2022, coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia and East Java respectively is 72.04%. However, the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in the Tengger Tribe is still low, only 38%. This study aims to determine what factors that influenced exclusive breastfeeding self-efficacy practices in toddlers in the Tengger Tribe. This research is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional study design targeting mothers with children aged 6-24 months in Wonokitri Village, Tosari District, Pasuruan Regency. The research was conducted in April-August 2022. Data analysis used univariate and bivariate analysis using the chi-square test. Most of the respondents were aged 20-34 years (78.9%), mothers had a good level of knowledge (70.2%), fathers and mothers had low levels of education (71.9%), worked as farmers (86%; 61.4%), income UMK (78.9%), children aged 13-24 months (68.4%), male (56.1%), 1st child (38.6%), no cultural influences during childbirth, breastfeeding, and toddlers (93%, 56.1%, 52.6%) and good family support (68.4%). Most mothers have sufficient self-efficacy (52.6%). From the bivariate results, there was no relationship between internal and external factors and the mother’s self-efficacy in exclusive breastfeeding except for the order of the children (p = 0.004). Order of children was the factor associated with the mother’s self-efficacy in exclusive breastfeeding to toddlers in the Tengger Tribe. However, it’s vital to carry out a more in-depth investigation of the internal and external factors that have already been researched in this study.

Abstract

In the era of digital advancement, the government is actively endorsing different digital health apps. This trend is particularly noticeable in Indonesia, where consumer-focused eHealth services have gained extensive approval. The acceptance of these services has risen significantly over time, propelling Indonesia to a global ranking of third place in using health apps. This research intends to determine whether the inclination towards digital healthcare is genuinely embraced as a necessity, or if it’s just a passing trend. The study involves conducting a nationwide quantitative investigation across Indonesia among 418 users of mobile health apps, based on the UTAUT 2 theory which was modified according to research needs by adding variable FOMO. Data collection through online surveys and uses structural equation modeling (SEM-PLS), to assess the connections between these factors. They reveal that digital healthcare is not only embraced but also perceived as a necessity. While necessity-driven motivation remains dominant, the study also uncovers hedonic factors playing a role. This combination of necessity and trend-related aspects underscores the potential market for digital healthcare. The outcomes of this research bring promising news for developers of digital healthcare solutions. It reveals that there is a genuine demand and need for digital healthcare services.

Abstract

Indonesia now ranks fourth in the world in terms of the largest number of unimmunized children. SMS (Short Message Service) reminders and counseling have been shown to increase outreach, but no research has combined these two interventions. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of SMS Reminder and Counseling on the knowledge, attitude, and willingness of mothers under five and to find out the factors that influence this willingness. This study used the one-group method, pretest, and posttest design. The samples were 186 children under five (18-24 months) who felt incomplete and mothers who had children under five (control and intervention groups). The Chi-Square test shows significant results during the post-test (p 0.05). The Mc-Nemar test shows the influence of counseling and SMS Reminders on increasing knowledge, attitudes, and willingness (p = 0,000). The logistic regression test shows the factors that affect the advanced immunization of under two years child, that was sufficient knowledge (ρ = 0,000; OR = 13,384; CI = 5,986-29,926). SMS Reminders and counseling affect parents’ knowledge, attitudes, and willingness. Factors affecting parental willingness to continue immunization are adequate knowledge. Collaboration between officials and health agencies, the community, and cellular operators is needed to implement the training of health workers.

Abstract

 The government of Indonesia provides programs to make it easier for adolescents to access mental health services. Adolescents are very vulnerable to mental and emotional health disorders, but there is low coverage of mental health services in primary health care. This study uses the theory of health belief models to examine how adolescents perceive having access to mental health services. This study used a cross-sectional design for 55 unmarried adolescents (15-24 years old) in Yogyakarta with a total sampling technique. Most adolescents (83.6%) perceive many barriers to accessing mental health services, so their self-efficacy becomes low (53.7%). Nevertheless, they have cues to act reasonably well (58.2%). Adolescents who perceive barriers (p-value = 0.007) and cues to action (p-value = 0.031) have a significant relationship with the behaviour of accessing mental health services. Meanwhile, perceived susceptibility (p-value = 0.909), perceived severity (p-value = 0.420), perceived benefits (p-value = 0.980), and self-efficacy (p-value = 1,000) did not have a significant relationship. The findings demonstrated that adolescents have sound cues to action in accessing mental health services, but low self-efficacy is thought to be the barrier.
