The newborn’s body dimensions are influenced by maternal nutritional status that can be determined by measuring mid upper arm circumference (MUAC). The aim of this study was to determine relationship between maternal MUAC and anthropometry of newborn at Ananda Women and Children Hospital Makassar. The method used in this study was analytic with cross sectional design. A total of 200 pregnant women underwent delivery at Ananda Women and Children Hospital Makassar were taken by purposive sampling method. The study data were sourced from primary data i.e. demographic data, maternal MUAC and newborn anthropometry which included weight, length, head circumference, and chest circumference that were measured immediately after birth. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test on the IBM SPSS 23. The results of this study showed a significant relationship between maternal MUAC with body length (p = 0,000), head circumference (p = 0,000), and chest circumference (p = 0,013) of newborns, but no significant relationship was found between maternal MUAC with body weight of newborns (p = 0.127). This study conclude that maternal MUAC influence the anthropometry of newborns on the parameters of body length, head circumference, and chest circumference.
Keluhan kulit merupakan keluhan yang paling banyak ditemukan pada anak pesantren. Faktor higienitas memegang peranan penting dalam munculnya penyakit kulit di pesantren. Pada kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat Prodi Pendidikan Dokter Fakultas Kedokteran dan Ilmu Kesehatan, kami bertujuan melakukan pemeriksaan serta intervensi pengobatan dan penyuluhan terkait penyakit kulit yang sering ditemukan pada santri pesantren. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat dilaksanakan pada 96 santri pesantren yang kesemuanya mengikuti semua tahapan yaitu penyuluhan, pemeriksaan kulit, dan pengobatan. Keluhan gatal mencapai prevalensi 87,5% diutarakan oleh santri pesantren sedangkan keluhan berupa kutu rambut dan ketombe dominan hanya dinyatakan oleh santri perempuan (santriwati). Keluhan penyakit kulit masih menjadi keluhan yang sering terjadi di kalangan santri pesantren. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat pada pesantren dengan mengambil tema penyakit kulit dan kelamin perlu terus digalakkan.
