Abstract

Students tend to prefer fast foods that contain high energy and fat, despite their awareness of the health issues related to this habit. However, data on the influence of pocket money on fast food consumption among nutrition students remain limited. This study aimed to determine the relationship between pocket money for food and the frequency of fast food consumption among nutrition students. An online survey on university students’ eating habits was conducted through Google Forms between June and July 2022 by involving 319 nutrition students at the Department of Nutrition Science, Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta (UMS). Data were collected using a pocket money questionnaire and a validated UMS students’ eating habits questionnaire. Most students (60.2%) received pocket money for food from their parents, averaging below IDR 35,000.00 per day. Taste (54.9%) was the primary factor in food selection, and 59.9% of students were categorized as rarely consuming fast food. There was no correlation between the pocket money for buying foods and the frequency of fast food consumption among nutrition students at UMS (Chi-Square test; p = 0.100). Future research should explore taste thresholds across different fast food types to establish a healthy fast food policy.

Abstract

Digital literacy in nutrition and epidemiology point out to students’ competencies in using digital media to access and understand information on nutrition and epidemiology. This study aimed to analyze digital literacy in nutrition and epidemiology among students of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah in Semarang Regency. The research was conducted in seven months and included 60 MI students as participants. A quasi-experimental design was used, involving an intervention with a Digital Literacy in Nutrition Book and a Digital Literacy in Epidemiology Book for stunting prevention. Students’ knowledge and attitude scores were categorized as poor (<50), sufficient (50-69), and good (70-100). The Wilcoxon test was to analyzed data. Average knowledge scores before and after the intervention were 74.17 ± 10.58 and 73.25 ± 10.81, respectively, and attitude scores were 90.67 ± 12.05 and 83.17 ± 22.51. There was no significant distinction in knowledge before and after the intervention (Z = 0.414; p=0.679), but there was a significant variation in attitude (Z=2.528; p=0.011). Conclusion, although students’ average literacy in digital nutrition and epidemiology slightly decreased, the changes in knowledge and attitudes were not statistically significant.

Abstract

Chronic Intermittent Hypoxia (CIH) can initiate oxidative stress and inflammation. Ficus carica is known to contain antioxidant compounds capable of suppressing oxidative stress. This study aims to investigate the protective role of Ficus carica puree (FCP) on the levels of Malondialdehyde (MDA), Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), SOD/MDA ratio, Platelet Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR), and Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α) in the lungs of rats induced by CIH. Rats were treated with FCP at doses of 1.25 ml/200g (CIH-F1), 2.5 ml/200g (CIH-F2), and 5 ml/200g (CIH-F3). All rats, except for the neutral control group, were subjected to chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) for 4 hours/day for 30 days. The CIH-F2 and CIH-F3 groups demonstrated significantly lower levels of lung MDA compared to the CIH group. The CIH-F3 group showed a considerably lower level of lung SOD compared to the CIH group. However, the SOD/MDA exhibited a considerably greater value in the CIH-F3 induction group compared to the other groups. The TNF-α in lungs and PLR levels were significantly lower in the CIH-F3 group than in the CIH group. These findings suggest that FCP may serve as a functional food to mitigate the negative impact of hypoxic circumstances on lung health.

Abstract

Pregnant women in the third trimester require more nutrition to prevent anemia. Emotional intelligence (EI) helps manage emotions and make healthier dietary choices. This study aimed to determine the level of emotional intelligence among third-trimester pregnant women. A quantitative descriptive analytical design was used among 113 participants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using an emotional intelligence questionnaire developed by Daniel Goleman and a maternal nutrition assessment. Results indicated that self-awareness played a crucial role in food choices, as women with higher self-awareness were more likely to have adequate nutrition (55%). However, some pregnant women with inadequate nutrition also had high self-awareness (61,5%). Self-regulation showed no significant differences between groups, indicating challenges in maintaining a balanced diet. Motivation was high in both groups, but 69.2% women with inadequate nutrition still face barriers in applying motivation to healthy eating habits. Empathy and social skills were higher in the adequate nutrition group, suggesting the importance of social support. Healthcare workers can support better nutrition in mothers by strengthening their motivation, self-control, and awareness through counseling and group support.

Abstract

Anthropometric measurements, including height, weight, and body circumferences, are extensively utilized in healthcare to evaluate the development and growth of the body of individuals. However, the accuracy and precision of these measurements can be affected by the expertise and training of the individuals responsible for conducting the measurements. This literature review systematically examines the existing research on the accuracy and precision of anthropometric measurements performed by health cadres, who often serve as the primary assessors of nutritional status. A comprehensive literature search was performed utilizing multiple databases. From 10 relevant articles from PubMed and 40 from Scopus, A total of eleven articles met the inclusion requirements. The results showed that health workers and cadres differed in the accuracy and precision of body length measurements; R for nurses (92.3%) was higher in session B than R for cadres (87.5%). Importantly, measurement precision improved significantly after cadres received structured training and followed standardized protocols. These results emphasize the critical need for comprehensive training and standardized procedures to enhance anthropometric information collected by healthcare workers.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) cases in Indonesia continue to increase every year, and malnutrition is identified as one of the causes in increasing susceptibility to disease transmission. Decreased nutritional intake can be assessed through changes in body composition. The initiation of intensive phase tuberculosis therapy is crucial for reducing bacterial growth and preventing recurrence, which can help improve food intake in TB patients. This study aims to determine changes in body composition in tuberculosis patients undergoing intensive phase treatment. This observational cohort study was conducted in Nganjuk Regency, East Java, from December 2023 to July 2024. The research sample consisted of 35 newly diagnosed tuberculosis patients undergoing intensive treatment. The parameters in this study, namely the percentage of fat mass, subcutaneous fat, skeletal mass, and visceral fat levels, were measured before and after two months of intensive treatment. The research results showed a significant increase in fat mass and visceral fat (p≤0.05). Meanwhile, the body mass index and fat-free mass showed an increase but were not significant (p>0.05). Overall, this study showed an improvement in body composition in tuberculosis patients after undergoing intensive phase treatment.

Abstract

Breastfeeding self-efficacy denotes a mother's perceived confidence in her ability to breastfeed effectively. Elevated levels of maternal self-efficacy have been associated with increased breastfeeding frequency and improved breastfeeding performance, which positively impacts the child’s nutritional status, as exclusive breastfeeding is the optimal source of nutrition for infants aged 0-6 months. This research intended to analyze the association between maternal self-efficacy in exclusive breastfeeding and breastfeeding practices, including frequency and duration, as well as the nutritional status of children. This cross-sectional research was carried out between March and June 2024, involving 30 mothers of children aged 7-60 months who had been exclusively breastfed. Participants were selected through purposive sampling from families whose husbands were members of the AyahASI community. Data collection was carried out via Zoom meeting using the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF) and WHO Anthro. Data analysis was conducted employing the Chi-square test and Pearson correlation coefficient. The results showed a significant relationship between maternal self-efficacy and breastfeeding duration (p=0.039; OR 10.11; CI 95% 1.05-97.00) and height-for-age z-score (HAZ) (p=0.042; r=0.374). However, no relationship was found with breastfeeding frequency (p=1.000), weight-for-age z-score (WAZ) (p=0.146), weight-for-height z-score (WHZ) (p=0.856), BMI-for-age z-score (BAZ) (p=0.588). This study indicate that a mother's self-efficacy in exclusive breastfeeding could be linked to a longer duration of breastfeeding and improved HAZ scores in children aged 7-60 months. However, due to the cross-sectional design, small sample size, and the non-random sampling method, these findings should be interpreted with caution and may not be generalizable to broader populations.

Abstract

Fathers’ support is a key factor in the success of exclusive breastfeeding. This study analyzed the relationship between fathers’ emotional and instrumental support and the success of exclusive breastfeeding. This cross-sectional study involved 33 fathers from the “Ayah ASI” community and was conducted from March to July 2024. Data were collected online using the Partner Breastfeeding Intention Scale (PBIS) questionnaire and analyzed using the Spearman correlation test. Results showed that 90.9% of the children were exclusively breastfed. Among these, 93.8% of fathers who provided good instrumental support had children who were exclusively breastfed, compared to 92.3% with sufficient support and 75.0% with poor support. For emotional support, all fathers in the “good” category had exclusively breastfed children, compared to 87.5% in the “sufficient” and 50.0% in the “poor” category. Emotional support was significantly correlated with exclusive breastfeeding success (r = 0.354, p = 0.043), while instrumental support showed a weak, non-significant correlation (r = 0.146, p = 0.416). Thus, emotional support from fathers has a stronger association with exclusive breastfeeding success than instrumental support. Interventions should prioritize enhancing fathers’ emotional engagement while continuing to support their practical involvement in breastfeeding.

Abstract

Unhealthy lifestyles are thought to contribute to the growing burden of obesity among adults, despite a preventable condition. Changing these behaviors requires appropriate and modern educational interventions. Social media platforms are increasingly used to contribute positively to supporting health behavior change. This study aimed to investigate the effect of using a social media module, specifically WhatsApp, on behavioral changes among adults with obesity. By using G-Power 3.1 software with an alpha level of 0.05, a power (1 - ß) of 0.95, an effect size of 0.64, and adding up to 10% buffer, the final sample consisted of 40 participants recruited using purposive random sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. A pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design was conducted in this study. Data were collected using a questionnaire, biochemical markers, and anthropometry measurements, before and after intervention. Jamovi 2.3.28 software was used to test statistical analyses with a p-value < 0.05. Forty adult females (38.92 ± 3.79) participated in the six-week intervention. Significant relationships were found in knowledge (Z = -3.36, p = 0.003), attitudes (Z = -3.78, p = 0.001), and practices (Z = -8.90, p < 0.00) related to obesity. A significant shift in participants’ stages of behavioral change was also found (χ² = 17.8, p < 0.001), and waist circumference significantly decreased post-intervention (p < 0.001). No significant changes were observed in body weight (p = 0.323), BMI (p = 0.314), random blood glucose (p = 0.116), total cholesterol (p = 0.105), and uric acid (p = 0.058) after the intervention. Although the intervention did not significantly affect body weight, BMI, or biochemical profiles, the use of WhatsApp is an effective tool in improving knowledge, attitude, and practice related to obesity, shifting the stages of behavioral changes, and reducing waist circumference.

Abstract

Early adulthood is a transitional period from adolescence to adulthood. The cause of early adulthood experiencing excess nutrition is the availability of fast food and lack of physical activity. The aim of this study to determine the relationship between the frequency of fast food consumption and physical activity with the nutritional status of students at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Muhammadiyah University of Surakarta. This design study was observational with a cross-sectional method involving 98 students, and were selected using the Proportional Random Sampling technique. Nutritional status was obtained from Body Mass Index (BMI) calculations, frequency of fast food consumption was collected from Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), and physical activity was obtained using the Physical Activity Level (PAL) questionnaire and analyzed by Rank Spearman Test. The results of the study: 33 (33.7%) respondents were overweight, 16 (16.3%) respondents were obese I and were obese II (1%). The distribution of respondents who consumed fast food in the frequent category was 85.7% and the majority did light physical activity, namely 86.7%. The results of the correlation test showed that the frequency of fast food consumption was p-value=0.000, the value of r=0.385, and physical activity was p = 0.000, the value of r=-0.240. There is a significant relationship between the frequency of fast food consumption and physical activity with the nutritional status of students at the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Muhammadiyah Surakarta. Education needs to be given regarding nutritional status, consumption of fast food, and physical activity in the campus environment.
