Abstract

Background: The interaction between infections and malnutrition has been recognized as a vicious cycle. Repeated diarrhoeal illnesses as well as other common childhood infections progressively altered the normal growth trajectories of children. This study aimed to analyze the effects of diarrhea and lifelong determinants on the incidence of stunting in children under two years in Kupang.Subjects and Method: This was a case-control study conducted in 25 integrated health posts in Alak and Oebobo Subdistricts, in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, from November December 2018. A sample of 200 children under two years was selected by multi-stage random sampling. The dependent variable was stunting. The independent variables were diarrhea, birth length, parental income, maternal education, exclusive breastfeeding, maternal height, maternal mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), complementary feeding, maternal hygiene practice, and sanitation. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by path analysis.Results: Stunting prevalence in Kupang was 30.5%. The risk of stunting was directly decreased by appropriate complementary feeding (b= -1.97; 95% CI= -3.55 to -0.39; p= 0.014), good hygiene practice (b= -4.38; 95% CI= - 6.63 to -2.12; p<0.001), good sanitation (b= -2.32; 95% CI= -4.00 to -0.64; p= 0.007), and birth length ≥48 cm (b= -2.22; 95% CI= -3.74 to -0.69; p= 0.004). The risk of stunting was directly increased by diarrhea (b= 2.55; 95% CI= 1.01 to 4.09; p= 0.001). It was indirectly affected by parental income, maternal education, exclusive breastfeeding, maternal height, and maternal MUAC at pregnancy.Conclusion: The risk of stunting is directly decreased by appropriate complementary feeding, good hygiene practice, good sanitation, and birth length ≥48 cm. The risk of stunting is directly increased by diarrhea. It is indirectly affected by parental income, maternal education, exclusive breastfeeding, maternal height, and maternal MUAC at pregnancy.Keywords: stunting, determinants, prevalence, diarrheaCorrespondence: Nabilah Nurul Ilma.

Abstract

Background: It cannot be denied that the dependence of pregnant women on the knowledge, knowledge and experience of traditional birth attendant is still very high. Traditional birth attendants are considered as figures who have abilities related to local culture. On the other hand midwives are the most well-known health care workers to rural areas, have medical knowledge, knowledge and technology, on average young, but have not fully gained public trust.Subjects and Method: This was a qualitative study with case study approach. The study was conducted in North Klaten District, Klaten Regency, Central Java.Results: Traditional birth attendants were people who were trusted by the community to have knowledge and experience in the health of pregnancy. Partnership Guidelines for Midwives and traditional birth attendant issued by the Ministry of Health are divided into stages of pregnancy, and childbirth.Conclusion: The implementation of midwive and TBA partnership in accordance with govern­ment guidelines can begin with regional regulations that stipulate the implementation of the WB, followed by providing physiotherapy training to traditional birth attendants in postpartum maternal massage and baby massage, so that the competency of the traditional birth attendant is more targeted.Keywords: empowerment, midwives, traditional birth attendant, partnershipCorrespondence: Sri Panuntun.

Abstract

Background: Evidence suggests that prenatal care, healthy behaviors such as exercise and nutrition, general stress level, and routine blood pressure examination, are associated with fetal and maternal health. However, there is a lack of studies on factors affecting these healthy prenatal behaviors in Indonesia. This study aimed to determine the contextual effect of posyandu on healthy prenatal behavior among pregnant women in Bengkayang, West KalimantanSubjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted at 25 integrated health posts (posyandu) in Bengkayang, West Kalimantan, from November to December 2018. A sample of 200 pregnant women was selected by simple random sampling. The dependent variable was healthy prenatal behavior. The independent variables were maternal education, family income, knowledge, health personnel support, family support, community leader support, and distance to posyandu. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by multilevel logistic regression.Results: Healthy prenatal behavior was affected by maternal education (b= 4.64; 95% CI= 2.05 to 7.23; p<0.001), family income (b= 3.26; 95% CI= 1.15 to 5.37; p= 0.002), knowledge (b= 2.83; 95% CI= 0.90 to 4.47; p= 0.004), family support (b= 2.69; 95% CI= 0.70 to 4.69; p= 0.008), commu­nity leader support (b= 3.01; 95% CI= 1.05 to 4.96; p= 0.003), health personnel support (b=3.74; 95% CI= 1.44 to 6.04; p= 0.001), and distance to posyandu (b= -3.51; 95% CI= -5.50 to -1.52; p= 0.001). Posyandu had strong contextual effect on healthy prenatal behavior with ICC= 74%.Conclusion: Healthy prenatal behavior is affected by maternal education, family income, knowledge, family support, community leader support, health personnel support, and distance to posyandu. Posyandu has strong contextual effect on healthy prenatal behavior. Keywords: healthy prenatal behavior, prenatal, path analysisCorrespondence: Dayang Fitri Murdikawati.

Abstract

Background: DPT3 immunization coverage is considered as one indicator of the success of immunization programs in various countries. Indonesia is one of the countries that adopted Expand Program in Immunization (EPI) in 1977 which later introduced DPT as part of routine basic immunization services for infants, although there are still infants who do not get complete DPT immunization at this time. The purpose of this study was to analyze contextual effect of the integrated health post on DPT3 immunization uptake among infants in Wonogiri, Central Java.Subjects and Method: This was an analytical observational study with a cross sectional design. It was conducted in Wonogiri community health center II, East Java, from October to December 2018. A sample of 200 infants was selected from 25 integrated health posts with simple random sampling. The dependent variable was the use of DPT3 immunization. The independent variables were maternal education, family income, religion and beliefs, family support, information expo­sure, attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavior control, and intention. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a multilevel logistic regression.Results: The use of DPT3 immunization was influenced by maternal education (b = 2.01; 95% CI= 0.26 to 3.76; p= 0.025), family income (b= 2.56; 95% CI= 0.45 to 4.67; p= 0.017), religion and beliefs (b= 4.37; 95% CI= 1.78 to 6.96; p= 0.001), family support (b= 1.92; 95% CI= - 0.07 to 3.90; p= 0.058), exposure to information (b= 1.82; 95% CI= 0.11 to 3.54; p= 0.037), attitude (b= 1.59; 95% CI= - 0.29 to 3.47; p= 0.097), subjective norm (b= 1.66; 95% CI= - 0.17 to 3.49; p= 0.074), perceived behavior control (b= 2.50; 95 % CI= 0.57 to 4.43; p= 0.011), and intention (b= 2.93; 95% CI= 0.68 to 5.19; p= 0.011). Integrated health post had strong contextual effect on the use of DPT3 immunization with ICC= 53%.Conclusion: The use of DPT3 immunization is influenced by maternal education, family income, religion and beliefs, family support, exposure to information, attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavior control, and intention. Integrated health post has strong contextual effect on the use of DPT3 immunization.Keywords: DPT3 immunization, factors, Theory of Planned Behavior, posyandu, information exposureCorrespondence: Rizqi Inayati.
