It is holding a small nappy neonate in skin to skin contact, prone and upright on the maternal chest. At first it was developed to alleviate overcrowding, and insufficient resources in neonatal intensive care units. But today it is formally approved by WHO.Objective: The aim of this study was to assess knowledge, attitude and practice of Kangaroo mother care among postnatal mothers in a tertiary care center of Harari region, Harar, Ethiopia, 2020.Method: An institution based cross-sectional study method was conducted in Hiwot-Fana Specialized Referral Hospital in Harar town. Sample size was calculated by using single population proportion sample formula and the final sample size was 166. The study subject was selected by using consecutive sampling method, and adopted data collection tool was used. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. Descriptive analyses were performed and bivariate analyses were used to find out the association of independent variables.Results: There was 82.53% of mothers had good knowledge, 82.53% had positive attitude towards KMC, 32.12% practiced KMC correctly. The participants also reported the benefits of KMC, such as protection from infection, warmth to the baby, exclusive breast feeding, weight gain and growth, early discharge from hospital, safety and love.Conclusion: The finding of this study showed that there was a clear gap in knowledge and practice.

Abstract

Background: Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in pregnant women is characterized by the size of middle-upper arm circumference  (MUAC) <23.5 cm. In 2017, the prevalence of CED in Indonesia was 17.3%, 21.9%, 14.37%, and 11.04%, respectively, in Southeast Sulawesi, Kendari, and Puuwatu Health Center, which were still above the national target of 5%. Thus, there is a need to overcome the CED problems by administering nutrition assistance to pregnant women.Objective: This research aimed to understand the effect of nutrition assistance on the size of the middle-upper circumference of pregnant women with CED in the working area of Puuwatu Health Center, Kendari, Indonesia.Methods: This study was a pre-experimental study with one group pretest-posttest design conducted from June to August 2020 in the working area of Puuwatu Health Center. As many as 35 pregnant women with CED living in the work area of Puuwatu Health Center during a period of January-August were enrolled in the study through a purposive sampling method. Later, the data were analyzed using a Wilcoxon sign rank test.Results: There was an effect of nutrition assistance to the size of the middle-upper arm circumference of pregnant women with CED with a p-value= 0.000.Conclusion: The nutrition assistance increases the size of the middle-upper arm circumference of pregnant women with CED in the working area of Puuwatu Health Center.

Abstract

Background: COVID-19 is a pandemic that spreads very fast. Until now, COVID-19 has spread in 207 countries.Objective: This study aimed to analyze the correlation between weather factors and COVID-19 in West Java, Indonesia. This study used a secondary data analysis of weather data from the Meteorological Department of the Republic of Indonesia and surveillance of COVID-19 from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. The weather has five components, including minimum temperature (0C), maximum temperature (0C), temperature average (0C), humidity (%), amount of rainfall (mm), and wind speed (m/s). Data were analyzed using Spearman's rank correlation test.Result: Of the weather components, only temperature average (r = 0.545; p <0.001) and humidity (r = -0.500; p <0.001) significantly correlated with COVID-19.Conclusion: The results can be used to decrease the pandemic of COVID-19 in Indonesia.

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence and risk factors of underweight among adolescents in Indonesia in 2015.Methods: Cross-sectional data were analyzed from 7643 school-going adolescents from Indonesia, the "Global School-Based Student Health Survey (GSHS)" in 2015. Bodyweight was inspected by self-reported weight and height and the standards of child body mass index from WHO. The data were analyzed by univariate, bivariate, and associations with underweight were assessed using multinomial logistic regression analysis.Results: The prevalence of adolescents was found that 3002 (39.3%) were underweight in Indonesia, 2015. Sex of the adolescent who has high risk underweight was female (AOR=1.72, 95% CI=1.57-1.90) with an age range of 10-15 years old (AOR=2.37, 95% CI=2.09-2.69). Alcohol use (AOR=0.73, 95% CI=0.60-0.89) and drug use (AOR=1.82, 95% CI=1.01-3.04) were risk behavior factors for underweight among adolescents in Indonesia.Conclusion: High prevalence of underweight for adolescent were identified in Indonesia. Several correlates were identified which can help to adjust interventions from the government to the adolescent in each province.

OR= 0.70, 95% C.I=0.57-0.87), and low physical activity (Adj. OR= 1.14, 95% C.I=1.06-1.23) are risk factor of IHD in Indonesia, 2013.Conclusion: The central, regional, and even village level special attention have a need for reducing IHD. Cross-program and sector collaboration are also needed collaboration with NGOs and the private sector to control risk factors outside the health sector and improve the environment.

Abstract

Background: One of the government efforts in Indonesia to protect consumers and producers of healthy and safe food is to enforce the Republic of Indonesia's Law No. 23 of 1992 concerning Health (Part Four: Safety of Food and Beverages). Therefore, designing the HACCP design at the hospital is necessary to ensure food safety.Objective: This study aimed to find out how the design is appropriate for the food safety system with the HACCP Principles Approach in the Palumara Fish Soup Processing in the Nutrition Installation of the Kendari City Regional General Hospital, Indonesia.Methods: This study was descriptive with a qualitative approach conducted on 15-17 July 2019 with Palumara fish soup samples observed three times in the third menu cycle.Result: The critical points in the processing of Palumara fish soup include improper foodstuffs, washing of impurities in the tools and foodstuffs, boiling and stirring (the level of food maturity), stripping (i.e., the inedible part), and contamination from workers and containers.Conclusion: The nutrition installation at the Kendari City Regional General Hospital has not implemented Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) as a whole, both from manpower, buildings, sanitation facilities and equipment. In addition, the hospital has not implemented HACCP in the food processing process, from the reception to distribution stage, so there are risks and dangers in Palumara fish soup.
