Abstract

Background: Poor access to contraceptive services is a global health problem, especially in the marginal community order. Refugee camps and areas with weak community order are the groups with the lowest prevalence of contra­ceptive use. This study aimed to determine the factors affecting contraceptive use in East Timorese ex-refugee women.Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at 3 ex-refugee settlements in Noelbaki village, Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, from April to May 2019. A total of 76 women of reproductive age were selected by fixed disease sampling. The depen­dent variable was contraceptive use. The inde­pendent variables were education, family in­come, accessibility, and sociocultural. The data were collected by a set of questionnaire and analyzed by a multiple logistic regression.Results: The likelihood of contraceptive use increased with high education (OR= 7.05; 95% CI= 1.16 to 42.76; p= 0.034), family income (OR= 9.36; 95% CI= 0.88 to 99.01; p= 0.063), good accessibility (OR= 27.53; 95% CI= 2.62 to 288.88; p=0.006), and supportive sociocultural (OR= 14.15; 95% CI= 2.14 to 83.63; p= 0.006).Conclusion: The likelihood of contraceptive use increases with high education, high family income, good accessibility, and supportive socioculturalKeywords: contraceptive, reproductive age, ex-refugee womenCorrespondence: Maria Paula Marla Nahak.

Abstract

Poor family nutritional practice is one of the major leading causes of stunting in children aged 0-59 months. Good family nutrition practices are one of the primary keys to stunting prevention. It can also reduce the prevalence of stunting and the impact it has on families, which are included in the category of stunting risk families. This study aimed to investigate nutrition-aware family practices at Haliwen Health Center, Atambua-one of the border areas of the Republic of Indonesia (RI) and Democratic Republic of Timor Leste (DRTL). It is a descriptive study with a cross-sectional design that took place at the Haliwen Health Center, Belu Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia, from September 1 to October 30, 2021. A total of 147 families with children aged 0-59 months, were selected by purposive sampling. Most mothers (60%) gave exclusive breastfeeding to infants aged 0-6 months. Most mothers (78%) firstly gave complementary feeding to infants at the age of 6 months, most families and children (94%) ate a variety of nutritional sources, most families (56%) used iodized salt, most infants (95%) aged 6-11 months and children 12-59 months received vitamin A supplements, most (88%) pregnant women received iron supplement at least 90 tablets during pregnancy, most postpartum women (72%) received two capsules of vitamin A supplements. 58.5% of families at the Haliwen Health Center had implemented 75% nutrition-aware family indicators. However, none of them had performed 100% nutrition-aware family indicators. Sustainable assistance needs to be improved to reach 100% nutrition-aware family and implemented in all families.
