Abstract

Background: Natural galactagogues are widely used to support lactation, but evidence for their effectiveness remains limited. This study evaluated the effects of a breast milk booster supplement (BBS) containing Moringa oleifera, Channa striata, and Sauropus androgynus on breast milk volume and nutrient composition. Methods: In this single-blind randomized controlled trial, 77 lactating mothers were assigned to receive either BBS or a placebo. Expressed breast milk volume and nutrient composition were assessed at baseline, day 7, and day 28. Nutrient analyses included energy, protein, carbohydrate, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids, including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney and Greenhouse-Geisser repeated-measures tests. Results: The intervention group showed a greater increase in expressed breast milk volume than the control group (348.6 vs. 281.8 mL; p=0.016). EPA concentration was significantly higher at day 28 (3.2 mg/100 g; p=0.027). Although DHA and calcium increased to a greater extent in the intervention group, the differences were not statistically significant. Infants in the intervention group also had significantly greater increases in mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC). Conclusion: Twenty-eight days of BBS supplementation increased expressed breast milk volume and EPA content, supporting its potential as a lactation supplement.

Abstract

Among fishing families with stunted children in coastal areas, exclusive breastfeeding occurs within intergenerational feeding norms, economic vulnerability, and limited paternal involvement. This study explored relational resilience strategies developed by fishing couples to sustain breastfeeding practices amid child stunting. A qualitative dyadic phenomenological design guided by Walsh's Family Resilience Framework was employed. Data were collected from 35 participants: 10 husband-wife dyads, five community leaders, and 10 extended family members, through individual and joint in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. Data were analyzed iteratively through within-participant, within-dyad, and cross-dyad comparisons to identify relational patterns and develop an empirically derived typology of relational resilience. Findings showed that couples experienced overlapping emotional, cultural, and structural shocks, including pressure to provide prelacteal feeding and reduced paternal involvement due to fishing-related work. Most dyads demonstrated moderate resilience, characterized by emotional solidarity, silent empathy, and adaptive compromise, often prioritizing family harmony over resistance to intergenerational norms, resulting in early supplementation and incomplete exclusive breastfeeding. Relational resilience functioned as a dyadic process maintaining emotional cohesion and caregiving continuity rather than strict adherence to breastfeeding recommendations. Strengthening breastfeeding sustainability in coastal settings requires culturally responsive, family-centered interventions engaging fathers and extended kin.

Abstract

The surge of tuberculosis (TB) in Indonesia, reaching over 385 cases per 100,000 population in 2024, presents an evident public health challenge. Primary drug-based (OAT/anti-TB drugs) therapy has adverse effects, affecting patient compliance and health outcomes. Nutritional therapy derived from animal-plant protein enriched with vitamin D has been offered as an adjunct therapy. This study investigated the effectiveness of catfish-derived biscuit substitutes, isolated soy protein, and moringa flour enriched with vitamin D in improving physical and immunological outcomes. Using a completely randomized design, the research process encompassed product development and pre-clinical testing in 35 adult white male Rattus norvegicus aged 8 weeks weighing 130-140 grams which were randomly divided into five groups, namely negative control (K0), Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)-injected (K1), Mtb-injected + OAT (anti-tuberculosis drugs), Mtb-injected + OAT + 1,000 IU vitamin D biscuit (D1), and Mtb-injected + OAT + 2,000 IU vitamin D biscuit (D2), and were observed for a total of 46 days. H37Rv Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) was injected into as much as 106 colonies/ml of 100 µL. Complete blood count was measured using the HEMAVET method, albumin and total protein were determined using spectrophotometry, and C-reactive protein (CRP) was analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Although product administration did not show a significant impact towards erythrocytes (p>0.05), it was still able to improve BMI within normal limits, increase albumin and total serum protein values, maintain leukocyte, hemoglobin, and hematocrit within standard values, lower CRP levels.

Abstract

Background: Household food waste may occur even in resource-constrained households, creating a paradox in which food waste coexists with inadequate energy consumption. Understanding the structural, psychosocial, and behavioral determinants of food waste is essential for developing effective interventions. Objective: This study aimed to examine the role of structural, psychosocial, and food management behavioral factors associated with household food waste and energy consumption among low-income households. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 100 low-income households. Structural characteristics, psychosocial factors based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), and food management behaviors were assessed using structured questionnaires. Household food waste was recorded for eight consecutive days, while energy consumption was evaluated using energy adequacy levels. Data were analyzed using chi-square tests and logistic regression. Results: Food waste was identified in all households, while 63.4% experienced energy deficits. Educational attainment was the only structural factor significantly associated with lower household food waste. Psychosocial factors were not significantly associated with either food waste or energy consumption. Food storage practices were associated with energy consumption in the bivariate analysis but were not retained as significant predictors in the multivariate model. Conclusion: Household food waste in resource-constrained households is influenced primarily by structural factors, particularly educational attainment. Strengthening food literacy through practical educational interventions may contribute to reducing household food waste and improving food security.
