Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: Immature immune system in preterm infants is associated with gut dysbiosis and poses significant health risks to their growth and development. Current guidelines for managing preterm infants focuses solely on macro- and micronutrients, whereas preterm infants’ gastrointestinal system requires optimalization to support nutrient absorption. Studies on the positive impacts of prebiotics as supplements have been conducted, but has not been implemented in Indonesia. Indonesian pediatricians’ perspective on these findings needs to be assessed. Objectives: To describe the perspectives of Indonesian pediatricians on the role of gut microbiota balance in supporting immunity, growth, and development of preterm infants, and the role of breastmilk and prebiotic-supplemented formula in optimizing gut microbiota balance. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 114 Indonesian pediatricians using a previously-validated and previously-used questionnaire on the role of gut microbiota balance on preterm infants, as well as the role of breastmilk and prebiotic-supplemented formula in optimizing gut microbiota balance. Results: Most respondents agreed that gut microbiota balance supports immunity, growth, and development of preterm infants. Respondents also agreed that breastmilk contains nutrients that support gut microbiota balance and when breastmilk becomes unavailable, prebiotic-supplemented formula can be given as substitute. Conclusions: Indonesian pediatricians considered gut microbiota balance to be important for immunity, growth, and development of preterm infants, and breastmilk to be the most ideal source of nutrition for preterm infants in optimizing gut microbiota balance. When breastmilk is unavailable, prebiotic-supplemented formula can be considered as an alternative.

Abstract

Even though the number of cases has reduced yearly, stunting is still a significant condition affecting Indonesian children. The fight against stunting includes attention to sensitive and specific interventions addressing the direct and indirect causes of stunting. Healthcare workers, as front liners, play a significant role in the intervention and eradication of stunting and are actively involved in the prevention, education, advocation, and data gathering surrounding stunting. Though vital, the role of healthcare workers in the fight against stunting and its impacts have never been discussed extensively, partly due to the vast variation of healthcare workers and layers of medical services (from primary care to advance hospitalization) included in the care for stunting. This review aims to look at available literature resources that fully describe the numerous roles and the impact healthcare workers had on eradicating stunting in Indonesia. While the healthcare roles in providing intervention of stunting (e.g., medical doctors in the prescription of ONS) is essential, it is crucial to equip healthcare (and the community) with sufficient knowledge of stunting.
