Risk Factors For Stunting Incidents In Toddlers

Ratna Juwita — Wed, 31 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Background: Stunting can hinder physical growth, increase a child's susceptibility to diseases, and create barriers to cognitive development, potentially reducing intelligence and productivity in the future. The prevalence of stunting in Riau Province in 2022 was 17%. This figure does not meet the target set by the Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJM), which is 14% by 2024. In Purnama Sub-District, Dumai Barat District, the prevalence of stunting remains high, with 47 toodlers (30%) out of a total of 159 under-fives affected.

Objective: This study aims to identify the risk factors associated with stunting in toodlers aged 24-59 months, including maternal and child characteristics, knowledge, maternal nutritional status during pregnancy, exclusive breastfeeding history, and basic immunization history.

Methods: This research is a quantitative study with an analytical observational design using a case-control approach.

Results: Statistical tests showed significant associations between maternal education (p-value 0.29), maternal chronic energy deficiency (KEK) during pregnancy (p-value 0.032), history of iron tablet consumption (p-value 0.002), exclusive breastfeeding (p-value 0.031), and basic immunization (p-value 0.019) with stunting in toodlers. No significant association was found between occupation (p-value 0.059) and maternal knowledge (p-value 0.073) with stunting in toodlers.

Conclusion: The calculation of the Odds Ratio (OR) indicates that pregnant women with a history of chronic energy deficiency are three times more likely to have stunted toodlers compared to those without a history of chronic energy deficiency. Women who do not exclusively breastfeed are three times more likely to have stunted toodlers compared to those who exclusively breastfeed. Toodlers who do not receive complete immunization are 11 times more likely to experience stunting than those who receive complete immunization. In this study, immunization was found to have the greatest impact on the occurrence of stunting in under-fives in Purnama Sub-District, Dumai Barat District, after controlling for variables such as exclusive breastfeeding, maternal history of iron tablet consumption, maternal occupation, maternal knowledge, and maternal nutritional status during pregnancy.

Thus, the researcher suggests the future researchers to examine the effect of health education on the confidence of mothers in taking care of premature babies.

Stunting Prevention in the Preconception Period

Sat, 31 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Background: The stunting rate in Indonesia in 2022 was 21.6%. I was reduced when compared to the SSGI data in 2021 of 24.4%. The stunting rate appears to be decreasing from year to year, but a joint commitment is still needed to achieve the target of reducing stunting to 14% by 2024. Stunting prevention is a much more effective step than stunting treatment itself. Prevention of stunting can be done by optimizing the role of mothers in the golden phase of child development. stunting prevention in Indonesia still focuses on pregnancy and toddlers, while prevention during the preconception period is still limited.

Purpose:To synthesize and critically effective steps that can be taken to prevent stunting in the preconception period

The Effect of Warm Water Compress on the Vagina on the Healing of Perinium Wounds in Post Partum Mothers

Wed, 31 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Background: Based on data from the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2017, around 830 women died every day due to complications during pregnancy or childbirth. In Indonesia, 75% of women who give birth vaginally experience perineal wounds and some of these wounds have the potential to become infected. In the Tanjung Emas Community Health Center working area, out of 23 post partum mothers, 4 people (27%) experienced slow wound healing. One cause of infection is poor perineal care. The cause of the high infection rate is due to a decrease in the body's resistance in mothers who are susceptible to infection. To reduce the risk of maternal death globally from 216.1 million live births in 2015 to 70 per 100,000 live births in 2030.

Purpose:The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of warm water compresses on the vagina on healing perineal wounds in post-partum mothers. Methods: The design of this research is a two-group post test only control group design. The population in this study was all postpartum mothers (0-40 days) from December-March 2024 who gave birth in the Tanjung Emas Community Health Center Working Area, namely 23 people. The sampling technique used is a non-probability sample using the sampling technique method in this research using purposive sampling, namely 8 intervention groups and 8 control groups.

Results: The results of this study were that the average wound healing was 5.5 and in the Control Group 6.5 days with a mean difference of 1 day and SD = 0.926. The results of calculations using the Paired T-Test showed p value = 0.039 (p < 0.05), which means Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted, meaning there is a significant influence between the effect of warm water compresses on the vagina on healing perineal wounds.

Conclusion: Further research may be carried out to develop research on other effective methods for healing perineal wounds in pregnant women.

Uncovering the reasons behind irregular visits by patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Tue, 30 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a non-communicable disease with an increasing incidence. DM is associated with deaths caused by several complications. One of the efforts to manage DM is to control blood glucose by maintaining regular check-ups and treatment compliance.

Self-care management of diabetes is crucial for helping to control the blood glucose levels of individuals with diabetes mellitus. Self-care management can be carried out through education, discussions, and the practice of physical exercise to regulate blood glucose levels. The implementation of self-care management interventions is considered effective when conducted in groups among the elderly.

Purpose: This research aims to observe changes in the knowledge and attitudes of the elderly, as well as changes in their independence skills.

The intervention was conducted over 12-14 weeks, which included education, simulation, and chair-based exercise (CBE) training performed once a week consecutively.. This research uses a pre-post group design with t-test analysis to determine changes in the self-care behavior of group members.

Results: There was an increase in the average score of 1.54 in the knowledge domain, and an average score of 5.18 in the attitude domain. Additionally, there was a decrease in the average blood glucose level of 61.61 mg/dL in the elderly group with diabetes mellitus. Other improvements were also observed in the changes in the Functional Independence variables for motoric and cognitive functions.

Conclusion: Diabetes self-management intervention has become one of the effective strategies that can be implemented in elderly groups with diabetes in the community.
