Abstract

Introduction: In the digital age, social media (SM) has undeniably transformed the way parents access information, including complementary feeding (CF) practices. Approximately 57.1% mothers in Indonesia obtained information about CF from the internet, ranging from parenting forums to social media platforms like Instagram. Aims: To explore the use of SM as source of CF information among mothers in Indonesia. Method: Exploratory cross-sectional study was conducted in 1631 mothers of children 0-23 months in May 2023, using an online questionnaire. The analysis of the data was conducted using the statistical software SPSS 21.0 Results: Of all the subjects, the largest group consisted of those aged 26-30 years. A majority had a high level of education, had SM, and spent 30-60 minutes (59.2%) searching for CF information. Full-time mothers were more influenced by SM (p=0.043). A notable distinction existed in the choice of social media based on the level of education. The higher the education, the more Instagram was used, while the lower the education, the more TikTok was used (mothers p=0.000; fathers p=0.002). The higher the education, the more information sources were sorted (mothers p=0.014; fathers p=0.000), and the more the educational background of the informant was considered (mothers p=0.000; fathers p=0.000). Conclusion: Mothers seek CF information from SM because it is faster, easier and convenient. However, it is often not evidence-based, and the amount of conflicting information confuses parents. Health efforts with a promotive approach that are evidence-based, understandable and applicable are needed and can be carried out through SM.

Abstract

Introduction: Stunting is a condition of chronic malnutrition caused by malnutrition that occurs over a long period of time, caused by food supply that does not match the nutritional needs of children. Developmental delay occurs when the child is still in the mother's womb and appears when the child is two years old. There is prevalence of stunted toddlers in 6 districts in West Sulawesi, namely Majene District (40.6%), Polewali Mandar District (39.3%), Mamasa (38.6%), Mamuju (33.8%), Central Mamuju (28.1%), and Install Wood  (25.8%). Aims: Analysis of risk factors for stunting in Majene district. Method: This type of study is an observational study with a case-control study design. The number of toddlers is 418 toddlers. The sample for this study included 112 toddlers aged 0-59 months. The sampling technique is by means of proportional sampling. Results: the study shows that Kadarzi (OR 17.274), self-efficacy (OR 3.240), and socio-culture are risk factors for increased stunting in Majene District, KAP variable (OR 0.321) is a protective factor against stunting in Majene District. Conclusion: Kadarzi, self-efficacy, and socio-cultural variables are risk factors for stunting in Majene Regency. It is hoped that mothers will pay more attention to their toddler's nutritional intake from birth, especially on exclusive breastfeeding, MP-ASI, and various foods, and routinely bring their toddlers to the posyandu every month to find out their toddler's nutritional growth and development.

Abstract

Introduction: Currently, 22% of children worldwide are stunted, and more than half live in Asia. Stunting in East Java is still high in several areas, which should have been prevented, given the relatively good resources. Aims: The study analyzes the policy targets for reducing stunting children in East Java. Methods: The study examined 4,541 children. The study analyzed nutritional status, residence, maternal (age, marriage, education, employment, socioeconomic, prenatal class), and child characteristics (age, gender, and early breastfeeding initiation (EIBF)). Results: Children in urban regions were likelier than those in rural regions to experience stunting. Stunted children were more prevalent among mothers of all ages compared to those <20. Lower education correlated with a greater likelihood of having stunted children. Stunted children were 2.410 times more prevalent among married mothers than divorced/widowed mothers (95%CI 2.292-2.534). Stunted infants were 1.062 times more prevalent among unemployed mothers compared to employed mothers (95%CI 1.050-1.075). All socioeconomic levels have a higher probability than the wealthiest to experience stunting. Mothers with prenatal classes were 1.088 times more likely than those without to have stunted kids (95%CI 1.073-1.103). Children aged 12-23 had a greater likelihood of developing stunting than those younger than <12. Boys were 1.286 times more likely than girls to experience stunting (95%CI 1.272-1.300). Children with EIBF had a 1.081 times higher likelihood of experiencing stunting than those without (95%CI 1.069-1.093). Conclusion: The appropriate policy targets for reducing the stunting prevalence were mothers in urban areas, young age, married, poor educated, unemployed, and poor.

Abstract

Introduction. The panel iron analysis is an effort made to screen for anemia in adolescent girls. Adolescents with anemia can experience disturbances in growth and development, behavioral changes, and motor disturbances. In Jember district found that on average 30-40% of female students suffer from anemia. Anemia screening is an effort made to maintain the health of adolescents so that they can grow and develop in accordance with their growth and developmental stages. Aims. The purpose of this study is the early detection of anemia in adolescent girls. Methods. This research is an analytical descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach. Data collection was by examining nutritional status and iron panel examination results. The sampling method was accidental, involving 21 female students. The research was conducted in March 2023. Data analysis used frequency distribution. Result. The results showed that some students were undernourished (42.9%) and severely malnourished (4.8%); 18 students (85.7%) were classified as KEK. Meanwhile, from the iron panel analysis, 10 students (47.6%) had abnormal serum iron levels, 6 students (28.6%) had abnormal transferrin saturation levels, and the majority of the respondents, 20 students (95.2%), had normal TIBC. Conclusion. The conclusion from this study is that there are still many adolescent girls, especially in the school environment, who are undernourished to severely malnourished. This result correlates with the iron panel analysis which found that some adolescent girls were diagnosed with iron-deficiency anemia, characterized by a decrease in serum iron, transferrin, and iron reserves levels, accompanied by an increase in the TIBC.

Abstract

Introduction: Acute respiratory infections account for approximately 6% of the total global burden of disease; almost double the proportion compared with the other communicable diseases. Aims: To investigate the link between risk factors & ARIs in Pakistani pediatric population under 5 with different socio-demographic profiles. Methods: Research was conducted as a cross-sectional study, utilizing the Pakistan DHS 2017-18 data, after ethical approval for the utilization of the dataset. Study variables were defined as age and gender of the child, place of residence, maternal education, wealth index, breastfeeding, and the immunization status of the child. Sample size (n = 39,799) was determined as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Prevalence of ARIs was estimated and the association between ARIs and socio-demographic factor and child’s immunization was examined. Results: Out of 39,799 children, 51.6% were males, 21.0 % were aged 36 – 47 months, 73.7% were the rural residents, 23% belonged to lowest wealth index quintiles. The mothers of   43.7% children were illiterate and 55.7% of the children were breastfed.  ARIs proportion among the sample was 14.3%. Significant association was observed between ARIs and age (p=0.000), gender of the child (p=0.001), residence (p=0.000), economic deprivation (p=0.000), maternal education (p=0.000) and breastfeeding (p=0.000), vitamin A administration (p=0.021), BCG (p=0.008), pentavalent (p=0.008), measles (p=0.000), and pneumococcal vaccination (p=0.020). Conclusion: Socio-demographic characteristics, i.e., age and gender of the child, accommodation, economic deprivation, maternal education, breast-feeding and poor vaccination uptake were observed to be positively correlated with ARIs among children under 5 years of age in Pakistan.

Abstract

Introduction: Mothers have a role in caring for and fulfilling toddler nutrition which is very important to prevent stunting in toddlers. Mothers’ skills in carrying out their roles are influenced by mothers’  knowledge through health literacy, namely the capability to access, assess, and process health information. Prevalence of stunting in East Java was 26.8% in 2019, exceeding the limit set by WHO. Jember is the second area contributing to the largest prevalence of stunting in East Java. Aims: This study aimed to analyze the relationship of mothers’ health literacy with stunting incidence of toddlers. Methods: This study used a case control design. The respondents were mothers with stunting toddlers (n=51) and mothers with non-stunted toddlers (n=51). The secondary data sources were the stunting data of the Kalisat Primary Healthcare in February 2022 and the primary data sources were the results of interviews used the HLS-EU-16 Indonesia Questionnaire. Data analysis used chi-square test. Results: There was a relationship between mothers’ health literacy and  stunting incidence of toddlers with a p-value of  0.001 (p-value < 0.05 so that the two variables have a significant relationship. Conclusion: Mothers’ health literacy has a strong association with stunting incidence of toddlers.

Abstract

Introduction: Based on an Indonesian Ministry of Health report, the incidence of stunting has decreased from 24.4% in 2021 to 21.6% in 2022. Reducing stunting rates in children is a global nutrition target in 2025. One of the causes of nutritional problems in children is inadequate intake of nutrients according to their nutritional needs. Based on the above explanation, maternal nutritional knowledge and the government’s role are essential in reducing stunting in Indonesia. Aim: The research investigation was aimed at investigating the level of maternal nutritional awareness as well as the government's participation in reducing stunting in children under the age of five. Methods: This quantitative study was an analytical observational design using a cross-sectional study approach. The samples were mothers of children under five carried out using non-probability purposive sampling, while respondents for the stunting intervention program provider used the snowball sampling technique. Data collection was conducted in locations with high prevalence of stunting, comprising two distinct groups of participants. Result: The statistical result using chi-square shows a significant correlation between maternal nutritional knowledge and the government’s role in reducing stunting in children under five, with a   p-value (0.000) < α (0.05) and p-value (0.008) < α (0.05). Conclusion: There is a relationship between the level of nutritional knowledge of mothers under five and the role of the government in the incidence of stunting. There is a need for further and multidisciplinary management in stunting cases, especially in Indonesia.

Abstract

Introduction: Leukemia is the commonest childhood cancer among children aged 0-19 years in Malaysia, constituting approximately 39.1% of all pediatric cancer cases in the country. Aims: This study aimed to measure the characteristics and survival of childhood leukemia among the local Malaysian population. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study based on all the childhood leukemia patients aged 0-19 years registered in the Malaysian National Cancer Registry between 2010 and 2014 with the date of death before or on the 31st December 2019. The Kaplan-Meier method and life table were used to estimate five-year survival rates. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS (version 27). Result: A total of 1,212 participants were included in this study. Their mean (SD) age was 8 (5.6) at the time of diagnosis. The highest five-year survival estimates were seen in females (58%, 95% CI: 54.5-63.1), children aged 1 to 4 (66%, 95% CI: 62.3-70.9), Indian (61.6%, 95% CI: 50.2-73.0), children diagnosed with acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL) (65.7%, 95% CI: 61.6-69.8), and those who had undergone chemotherapy at diagnosis (57.3%, 95% CI: 54.0-60.6). Patients with childhood leukemia in Malaysia reported a 5-year overall survival of 56.4 %. Survival was greater in children aged 1 to 4 years old, Indians, with ALL, and have had chemotherapy treatment at the time of diagnosis. Conclusion: The study demographic and clinical findings were comparable with other Asian countries.

Abstract

Introduction: Reducing the incidence of child marriage is a component of the national medium-term plan (RPJMN) for 2020-2024, which is targeted to fall to 8.74% in 2024, and 6.94% in 2030. The prevalence of child marriage in Central Sulawesi is 31.91% and Sigi Regency has the third highest prevalence of child marriage, namely aged 10-14 years (0.04%) and aged 15-19 years (2.58%). Aims: To evaluate the impact of providing health education via comic media on adolescent knowledge regarding the age of marriage at SMA Negeri 1 Sigi. Method: The design applied in this research was experimental with pretest-posttest and a control group setup. Twenty-six  participants were chosen through random sampling and allocated to either the intervention group (comic media education) or the control group (leaflet media education). The research instrument utilized was a questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests. Results: This study shows that, in the control group, knowledge before education was mostly in the sufficient category (42%) and after education increased to good category (74.2%). Meanwhile, in the intervention group, before education, the majority was in the poor category (35.5%) and after education the majority was in the good category (96.8%), with a p value of 0.000 <0.05. Conclusion: Using comics proves more efficacious in enhancing teenagers' knowledge compared to utilizing leaflets. It is hoped that schools and health centers can collaborate to establish youth counseling centers as a platform for counseling students and can utilize comics as one of the educational media.

Abstract

Introduction:  Non-adherence to treatment among TB children in Indonesia varied 40.5%-57.2%. An innovative method of education might improve treatment adherence and clinical recovery of TB children. The aims of this study were to compare the treatment adherence and clinical indicators of TB children who received an intervention using an online application based on King's theory with a conventional method. Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study to educate 55 TB school-age children using a validated online application based on King's interaction system theory, compared with the conventional method in 55 TB children as the control group. The medication regularity and control discipline were observed four times in weeks 2, 4, 6, and 8. Measurements of acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smear sputum examination, TB scoring, chest X-ray examination, level of Hb, and nutritional status were done twice in pre- and post-intervention. Data analysis used chi-square, paired t-test, independent t-test, Mann Whitney, McNemarᵇ. or Wilcoxon test. Results: The results of this study revealed that the intervention group was significantly successful compared to the control group in several indicators, such as increasing treatment adherence (p=0.001), controlling discipline (p=0.001), reducing AFB positive (p=0.001), TB scoring (p=0.001), infiltrate in chest X-ray examination ((p=0.013), and increasing Hb levels (p=0.001). Meanwhile, nutritional status could not be compared because, from the beginning of the study, the nutritional status was unbalanced and benefited the intervention group. Conclusion: The online application based on King's theory has succeeded in increasing medication adherence and clinical improvement of pulmonary TB in children.
