Abstract

Stunting is a decrease in height growth rate as measured by the height value by age under minus two standard deviations of the WHO child growth standards graph. In 2016 as many as 22.9% (154.8 million) of children under five years of age suffered from stunting, and Indonesia is in the 5th place of the country that suffers most from stunting. The leading cause of stunting is unbalanced nutritional factors in quantity and quantity during the growth period. Other causes are human factors; infant and child feeding practices, severe infections, subclinical infections, low birth weight babies and premature infants and social factors, such as household poverty, poor parenting, unresponsive eating practices, inadequate child stimulation, food insecurity, limited health services, access to clean water and sanitation. Children can be predicted to be stunting by measuring height periodically since birth. The most effective intervention to prevent stunting is to increase children’s diet quality. The Indonesian government role as a program and policymaker is to create a Stunting Intervention Framework, namely Specific Nutrition Interventions and Sensitive Nutrition Interventions. In conclusion, stunting can be predicted and can be prevented. Provision of MPASI by WHO recommendations that are timely, adequate, safe and are given in the proper manner is a specific nutrition intervention that can prevent stunting.

Abstract

Previous studies have shown that the majority of children in Indonesia have poor oral hygiene. Children who attend boarding school are sometimes facing difficulties in accessing dental health providers. In this kind of situation, knowledge of oral health and how to do a proper dental cleaning is crucial and must be mastered not only by students but also their teachers who spend most time with them at the boarding school. This goal can be achieved by the collaboration of dental public health and the school and community members.

Abstract

Pregnancy is an event that begins with conception and ends with the onset of labor. Pregnancy is divided into three trimesters, the first trimester (0-12 weeks), the second trimester (13-27 weeks), and the third trimester (28-40 weeks). During the pregnancy process will cause various changes in all body systems, both physiological changes and psychological changes that can cause discomfort to pregnant women. Physiological changes that often occur in pregnant women such as dyspnea, insomnia, gingivitis, frequent urination, pressure and discomfort in the perineum, back pain, constipation, varicose veins, fatigue, Braxton hicks contractions, leg cramps, ankle edema. Not only physiologically, changes in pregnant women also occur psychologically such as changes in mood and increased anxiety. One of the physiological changes that pregnant women often complain about is back pain. The reported prevalence of back pain in pregnancy varies from 50% in the UK and Scandinavia to 70% in Australia. Back pain experienced by pregnant women will peak at week 24 to week 28, just before abdominal growth reaches its maximum point. Most back pain during pregnancy occurs due to changes in the spinal muscles, as much as 70%. Back pain in pregnant women can be treated both pharmacologically and non pharmacologically. One of the non-pharmacological therapies that can be given is Effleurage Massage, which provides a gentle, slow and uninterrupted massage on the back of pregnant women so that it can cause relaxation and reduce pain.

Abstract

Growth abnormalities of short stature or tall stature are closely related to body disproportion. Humans experience changes in body proportions from infancy to adulthood. This is due to changes in organs and organ systems at each stage of an individual's life. Differences in growth rates in body organs affect differences in body proportions at each stage of an individual's life. This is related to osseous maturation, which is influenced by the endocrine system. There is a change in the ratio of the lower and upper segments according to age and arm span. The combination of low body weight with short stature or a lighter weight-to-height ratio indicates a chronic systemic disorder as a cause of short stature. A combination of short stature and being overweight or an increased ratio of body weight to height are essential clues to the possibility of an endocrine disorder as a cause of short stature.

Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and with high mortality rate. There is evidence showing the influence of life style and environmental factors on the development of mammary gland cancer (high-fat diet, alcohol consumption, and lack of physical exercise). Primary prevention may contribute to a decrease in morbidity and mortality. The aim of this paper is to review current knowledge and reports regarding primary prevention of breast cancer.

Abstract

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients who experience total blockage of the heart arteries accompanied by ST segment elevation on an electrocardiogram (ECG) record, known as ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI); one of the leading causes of death in Indonesia. In the STEMI patient care system there are three components that cause delays in handling which lead to an increased risk of death. First, the patient's delay; second, the system delay in the detection of STEMI patients and transfer to capable reperfus facilities; third, delays in health facilities, i.e. the time needed since the patient arrives at the health facility until reperfusion therapy is given, both by fibrinolysis and primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Therefore Palembang needs to prepare an iSTEMI program, so that STEMI patients can be reproduced immediately. ISTEMI management in Palembang requires good organizational management.

Abstract

Pain is an unpleasant sensory sensation that can coincide with the onset of the disease. This pain will cause a psychological condition that will disrupt the patient's daily life if it is not treated immediately. Health workers will certainly provide interventions that patients and their families can use to support this reduction in sensation. A complementary action that can be used to reduce this pain perception is citrus aromatherapy. Citrus aromatherapy has a complete content not only relaxes the mind but also inhibits pain inhibitors so that the perception of pain can be immediately reduced. The pain decrease perception will undoubtedly improve patients' quality of life after the disease, both acute and chronic.

Abstract

Growth is reflected by height can vary between races, sexes, and ages. Impaired growth of children can occur during the growth process that takes place from intrauterine to adulthood. Impaired growth of children such as short stature and high stature, both caused by endocrine and non-endocrine disorders, is a disorder that is often found. Careful clinical examination is needed, which is supported by endocrinological examination to look for aetiology. Bone age examination is an essential radiological examination for growth evaluation. Various attempts were made to optimize the management of children with short stature. Children with normal variations in short stature usually do not need treatment, whereas children with pathological disorders require treatment according to aetiology.
