Abstract

Background:Early detection and screening of risk factors among pregnant women are essential efforts to identify potential risks during pregnancy. The impacts of these risks may include miscarriage, obstructed labor, antepartum hemorrhage, stillbirth, pregnancy-related poisoning, premature birth, low birth weight, and maternal mortality. Given the high incidence of risky pregnancies, healthcare workers are unable to identify all cases individually. Therefore, the involvement of the community in detecting pregnancy risks is crucial. A tool is required to allow pregnant women or community members to independently assess pregnancy risks, with results that can be accessed by healthcare workers through the JIHP education application. Objective:This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women after receiving education through the JIHP Android application. Method:A quasi-experimental design was used for this study, with a sample of 100 pregnant women divided into two groups: the intervention group (who received education through the JIHP Android application) and the control group (who did not receive education via the ebumil application). Simple random sampling was applied. The study variables were the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women, and data were collected using questionnaires on these two aspects. The Wilcoxon test was used for data analysis. Results:The findings indicated a significant increase in knowledge among the intervention group, from a pre-test score of 81.10 (post 1) to 91.50 (post 2), while the control group showed no increase, with scores of 45.75 (post 1) and 45.50 (post 2). Similarly, attitudes improved in the intervention group, with scores rising from 79.40 (post 1) to 90.25 (post 2). In contrast, the control group showed no change in attitudes, with scores of 45.80 (post 1) and 45.75 (post 2). The Wilcoxon test yielded a p-value of 0.000, which is less than α = 0.05, indicating a significant effect of the education provided through the JIHP application on the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women regarding risky pregnancies. Conclusion:The study concludes that education through the JIHP application significantly influences the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women about high-risk pregnancies. Furthermore, there was a notable improvement in both knowledge and attitudes following the education intervention. It is expected that pregnant women will be able to apply the online knowledge gained to make informed decisions in managing their pregnancies.   Keywords:knowledge; attitude; Jaga Ibu Hamil Pesisir application

Abstract

Background:Stuntingis a critical chronic nutritional issue prevalent in developing countries, including Indonesia, with profound effects on children's physical growth, cognitive development, and future productivity. Objective: This study aims to assess the acceptability of nuggets formulated from sea urchin gonads (Diadema setosum) and skipjack fish (Katsuwonus pelamis) as a nutritional supplement for addressing stunting in children under five years of age. Methods: A quantitative descriptive approach was employed, utilizing organoleptic testing. The study involved 161 panelists comprising nutrition students and mothers of toddlers attending the Posyanduin Soropia District, Konawe Regency. Results: The organoleptic test results indicated that the nuggets were well-accepted in terms of color, aroma, taste, and texture. A majority of the panelists rated them as "like" or "very like". Statistical analysis using a paired sample t-test demonstrated significant differences in acceptability before and after nugget administration across all assessed aspects (p< 0.05). Conclusion: Nuggets derived from sea urchin gonads and skipjack fish exhibit substantial potential as an alternative food supplement for stunted children, given their high acceptability and nutritional composition supporting growth and development. Further research is recommended to explore the long-term effects of regular nugget consumption on nutritional status and physical growth in stunted children, along with an economic analysis to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of this intervention.   Keywords:acceptability; organoleptic; nugget; sea urchin gonads; skipjack fish; toddler stunting

Abstract

Background:Hypertension is a serious global health issue due to its rising prevalence and its link to severe cardiovascular diseases. Red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum)infusion therapy has gained attention as a potential natural treatment for high blood pressure because of its active compounds, such as gingerols and shogaols, which have anti-inflammatory and vasodilatory effects. Objectives:This study investigates the effectiveness of red ginger infusion therapy in reducing hypertension among residents of Kawatuna Village, where hypertension rates reached 12.2% in 2022. Given the community’s dietary habits and limited healthcare access, alternative treatments like this are important for managing blood pressure. Methods:The study used a Quasi-Experimental design with a Pretest-Posttest Control Group approach. A total of 66 participants were divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group consumed red ginger infusion daily for seven days, while the control group received no intervention. Blood pressure was measured before and after the intervention. Results:The results showed a significant decrease in blood pressure in the experimental group. Systolic pressure dropped by an average of 24 mmHg and diastolic pressure by 11 mmHg (both p<0.001). In contrast, the control group had only slight changes, with a decrease of 0.17 mmHg in systolic pressure and 1.1 mmHg in diastolic pressure. These findings suggest that red ginger infusion therapy can effectively lower blood pressure in the short term. However, the small sample size and short duration of the study highlight the need for further research. Future studies should explore the specific mechanisms behind red ginger’s effects and assess its long-term safety and efficacy. Addressing lifestyle factors, like the high consumption of coconut milk in Kawatuna, through health education programs could also improve hypertension management. Conclusion:Red ginger infusion therapy shows promise as a complementary treatment for hypertension, but more comprehensive studies are needed to confirm its long-term benefits. Keywords: red ginger; hypertension; infusion therapy, blood

Abstract

Background: The involvement of husbands in the health of pregnant women is very important; adequate knowledge supports their role as good companions. Antenatal classes aims to reduce the knowledge gap between couples by involving husbands. However, the participation of husbands remains low. Objective: The study aims to analyze the correlation between the demographic, structural and psychological dimensions of husband's involvement and to identify the different reasons for low husband's involvement in antenatal classes. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study using a mixed methods approach. The study population consisted of the husbands of pregnant women who attended antenatal classes during the period December 2021 to May 2022 (6 months), totaling of 254 people. The sample siza was determined using the sample size formula for a known population, resulting in 168 people selected through a proportional sampling technique. Data collection was conducted through interview. Bivariate data analysis was performed using Chi-Square test, and multivariate analysis was conducted using Multiple Logistic Regression test. Qualitative data collected through in-depth interview based on interview guidelines with 5 (five) husbands as main informants, 3 (three) pregnant women and 1 (one) health worker (midwife) as triangulation informants. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis approach. Results: Partially, education and occupation variables were significantly associated with husband's participation in antenatal class (p<0.05). Simultaneously, education and perceived barriers were shown to jointly influence husband's involvement in antenatal class (p<0.05). The odds of husband's participation in antenatal class increase by 5.6 times as education increases. Additionally, the odds of involvement would be 3.266 times greater if there were no perceived barriers. Conclution: The use of educational technology as a medium of communication and information is an alternative to reduce perceived barriers related to time and work constraints.

Abstract

Background:The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the critical role of vaccination in mitigating the transmission of infectious diseases. However, parental attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination are pivotal in determining the vaccination uptake among children. Understanding the factors that influence these attitudes is essential for the development of effective vaccination strategies. Objectives:This study aimed to identify the factors influencing parental attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination in children aged 6-12 years. Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted among parents of children aged 6-12 years. Data on parental attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination, along with various demographic variables, were collected via structured interviews. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was utilized to identify significant predictors of parental attitudes toward vaccination. Results:The findings revealed several factors significantly associated with parental attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination. Notably, perceptions regarding the halal status of the vaccine, family support, and parental anxiety were found to significantly influence these attitudes. Parents who considered the vaccine to be halal and who received strong family support were more likely to endorse vaccination. Conversely, higher levels of anxiety were negatively associated with vaccination support. Conclusions:These results highlight the importance of addressing perceptions regarding the halal status of the vaccine, enhancing family support, and alleviating parental anxiety to promote COVID-19 vaccination in children aged 6-12 years. Public health interventions should focus on providing clear, reliable information regarding vaccine halal status, fostering family discussions to encourage vaccination, and offering psychological support to reduce parental anxiety. These strategies are crucial for improving vaccination uptake and achieving herd immunity against COVID-19.

Abstract

Background:Hepatitis B virus (HBV) poses a significant global public health challenge, particularly in highly endemic regions such as Ethiopia, where mother-to-child transmission remains a major concern. Despite the critical importance of this issue, limited research has been conducted on the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of pregnant women regarding HBV infection. This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of pregnant women attending antenatal care in public hospitals in the Afar region, Ethiopia, concerning HBV infection. Method:A cross-sectional study was conducted in five public hospitals in the Afar region, Eastern Ethiopia, from August 2023 to April 2024. The study targeted 442 pregnant women receiving antenatal care at these facilities. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a pretested, structured questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS software. Associations between variables were examined through bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses, with a p-value of less than 0.05 considered statistically significant. Results:Among the 442 participants, 10.4% (95% CI: 7.7–13.6), 19.2% (95% CI: 15.7–23.2), and 17% (95% CI: 13.6–20.8) demonstrated good knowledge, positive attitudes, and good practices regarding HBV, respectively. Higher educational attainment (AOR = 10.83, 95% CI: 3.97–29.6) was significantly associated with better knowledge, attitudes, and practices. Urban residence (AOR = 2.04, 95% CI: 1.02–4.08) was linked to good knowledge and positive attitudes, while higher income (AOR = 5.16, 95% CI: 1.49–17.9) was strongly associated with good knowledge. Conversely, a smaller family size (AOR = 0.428, 95% CI: 0.195–0.942) was associated with poorer practices. Conclusion:Pregnant women in the Afar region exhibit low levels of knowledge, poor practices, and negative attitudes toward HBV infection. To address these gaps, the implementation of comprehensive HBV screening programs and targeted health education campaigns is crucial to enhance awareness and improve preventive behaviors among this population.  Keywords:knowledge; attitudes; practices; pregnant women; Hepatitis B virus; Afar Eastern Ethiopia

Abstract

Background:Purple sweet potato is a locally abundant ingredient in Banggai Regency, Central Sulawesi Province. However, many individuals, particularly mothers of toddlers, remain unaware of the nutritional benefits and the methods for processing sweet potatoes into complementary foods for breastfed infants. Objective:This study aims to examine the effect of assistance in preparing complementary foods (MP ASI) using locally sourced purple sweet potatoes on the incidence of stunting. Method:This research employs a quasi-experimental design with a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest approach. The study involved 38 mothers of infants aged 7–12 months, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire and analyzed using univariate and bivariate statistical methods. Results:The findings reveal a significant relationship between the introduction of complementary feeding (IMD) and exclusive breastfeeding on the incidence of stunting, with a p-value <0.05 (0.000). Additionally, there was a notable improvement in maternal knowledge and skills related to complementary feeding before and after the intervention (p < 0.05). The use of purple sweet potato as MP ASI was found to contribute to a reduction in the incidence of stunting (100%). Conclusion:The education and training provided on complementary feeding using locally available food ingredients, such as purple sweet potatoes, significantly enhanced the knowledge and skills of mothers with infants aged 7–12 months and effectively reduced the incidence of stunting.  Keywords:mentoring; purple sweet potato; knowledge; skills; MP ASI; stunting

Abstract

Background:Hemodialysis is a kidney replacement therapy for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) aimed at removing excess fluid and waste products from the bloodstream and extending life expectancy. Although hemodialysis is considered the most effective therapy for increasing the life expectancy of CKD patients, it is associated with several side effects that can impact patients' overall well-being. Objective:This study aims to analyze the quality of life and associated factors among chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy. Methods:This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Hemodialysis Unit of Banggai District Hospital, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. The study involved 60 CKD patients aged ≥18 years who were undergoing hemodialysis therapy from April to June 2024. Participants were selected using purposive sampling. Primary data were collected through direct interviews using the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form 36 (KDQoL-SF36) questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and logistic regression analysis. Results:The chi-square test revealed significant associations between age (p = 0.024), gender (p = 0.041), blood pressure (p = 0.036), nutritional status (p = 0.039), hemoglobin levels (p = 0.024), creatinine levels (p = 0.023), and family support (p = 0.003) with the overall quality of life of hemodialysis patients. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that gender (p = 0.025; OR = 8.739; 95% CI: 1.320–57.872) and blood pressure (p = 0.049; OR = 9.817; 95% CI: 1.012–95.251) were significant predictors of quality of life. Conclusion:Factors such as older age, female gender, hypertension, nutritional imbalances (obesity or malnutrition), anemia, and elevated creatinine levels contribute to a decline in the quality of life of hemodialysis patients. The findings underscore the importance of collaborative efforts by patients, families, nurses, healthcare providers, and the government to enhance therapy adherence, dietary management, and psychological support to improve the quality of life of patients undergoing hemodialysis. Keywords:quality of life; chronic kidney disease; hemodialysis; hemoglobin; creatinine
