Abstract

Malnutrition is a strategic problem in Indonesia, especially in Papua Province, which extends from urban to rural areas. The purpose of this study was to assess the situation of malnutrition and to find structural models of malnutrition in Papuan children in various ecosystem zones in Papua Province. The study was designed in a cross-sectional manner, where the selection of research sites used a multistage sampling procedure with stratification and cluster techniques. Data collection was done through structured interviews, observations, and field measurements. It used the least significant different test and Kruskal Wallis to determine whether there are differences in related variables between ecosystem zones. To test and assess the impact of malnutrition on child development, Structural Equation Modeling-Regression was used with a partial least squares approach. The results showed that the prevalence of undernourished children under five years old, short-nutrition, thin-nutrition, and fat-nutrition was widespread in all ecosystem zones. Malnutrition in the form of short children or stunting (TB/U) can be directly associated with social environmental factors. In order to minimize the problem of stunting in Papua, it is necessary to take steps, including improving the nutritional status and health of mothers and children, especially pregnant women, increasing access to food through a food-based approach, and intensifying program activities for basic health, environmental health, and clean water supply.

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to examine the situation of children's quality of life and assess the role of various related factors to the quality of life of children in various ecosystem zones in Papua Province. The study was conducted in four districts representing three ecosystem zones, namely the mainland coastal zone (Merauke and Sarmi Regencies), the middle plain zone (Nabire Regency) and the mountain zone (Jayawijaya Regency). This research was designed cross-sectionally, where the selection of the research site used a multistage sampling procedure with stratification and cluster techniques.  Randomly involved 1481 sample households that had children under five for three zones. Data collection was carried out through structured interviews, observations and field measurements. To determine whether there are differences in related variables between ecosystem zones, the least significant different and Kruskal Wallis test is used. Testing and assessing  the impact  of malnutrition on child development, Structural Equation Modelling-Regression is used with a partial least square approach using the help of the SmartPLS application version 2.0.  The results showed that the population of Papuan children with the risk of quality of life disorders (at risk) reached 50.57% and was the largest in the mountainous zone. Generally, they have impaired negative mood function, while children in the mountainous zone have impaired motor, autonomic, cognitive, social and negative mood functions.

Abstract

The large number of stunting cases in the TTS area is caused by a lack of food security. Therefore, the development of freshwater fish farming is very important to support food security and prevent fainting in the region. This is because the fishing industry plays an important role in increasing food security; it also reduces stunting in the region. This study used a cross-sectional research design that observed and measured all variables simultaneously. The research results show that Indonesia has an urgent need to explore the untapped potential of fresh water fish food. This is because increasing their food security and improving their nutrition will help them cope with the country's current situation. One way that can be done is to encourage the use of fish farming foods that are well known to the public, especially foods that are popular among TTS residents.
