Background: The condition of failure to thrive in toddlers due to chronic malnutrition and making children too short for their age is called stunting. Purpose: This research was conducted to analyze the risk factors of stunting in children. Methods: The study was conducted from mid-May to mid-August 2020. This study developed a model for maternal empowerment in preventing and managing stunting using a cross-sectional design, then implementing the model using a quasi-experimental non-randomized pre-post control group design. The population involved was all mothers with children under five years old in Posyandu Ngariboyo, Candirejo, and Plaosan, obtaining 250 mothers. Meanwhile, the study sample was 150 mothers who had children under five years old in Posyandu Ngariboyo, Candirejo, who met the inclusion criteria. Results: Mothers with good characteristics increased their knowledge of stunting prevention and control by 0.42 times (p=0.01). Mothers with good knowledge increased their maternal commitment by 0.23 (p=0.01), and mothers who had good commitment reduced stunting by 0.45 (p=0.01). Furthermore, mothers with good knowledge increased the family support by 0.24 (p=0.01). In addition, good family support also reduced stunting by 0.26 (p=0.01). Conclusion: Mother's knowledge contributes to the prevention and management of stunting. Children's physical health, family support, nutritional status, and home environment are also important factors in stunting prevention and management. Family support is needed by mothers to realize their commitment to carrying out early detection, prevention, and control stunting.
The handling of stunting at the village level so far cannot be said to be effective due to the absence of prevention centers by healthcare professionals. The objective is to develop the role of the village midwife as a central role for stunting prevention with a clear flow of tasks and responsibilities. The implication of this research will be to emphasize a more structured stunting prevention system. This research used a case study method with a descriptive design. The instrument used for data acquisition was a semi-structured question list through in-depth interviews, supported by document reviews from reputable journals for the last five years (2016-2021). The target of the interview was a village midwife in Trenggalek, East Java. The data analysis was PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Output). There were 7 themes from the interviews and 8 reputable journals as supporting data for the PICO selection. The analysis concluded that developing the role of midwives in dealing with stunting, required management reform (SOP), increased collaboration between professions and sectors, family economy, and availability of funds. It was recommended that village midwives are the most appropriate health professionals at village-level stunting prevention centers who report to the BKKBN institution.
Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is still a health problem and a serious threat in some areas of Indonesia. This disease not only has an impact on the health sector, the social sector, and the community's economy, but also anxiety for health workers during the rainy season. The objective is to find out the anxiety experienced by health workers regarding DHF during the rainy season, the causal factors, and how to anticipate them. The method was phenomenological approach with descriptive analysis. The stages include bracketing, intuitive, analyzing, and describing. The research was conducted during the rainy season in December 2022. Five informants were randomly selected to represent the regions of Aceh, West Java, East Java, Flores, South Maluku, and Papua. Primary data were obtained from semistructured interviews with four. Secondary data were obtained from official documents and reputable journals for the last five years. The data were processed using phenomenology (bracketing, intuitive, analyzing, and describing) and analyzed it descriptively. Results show healthcare workers experience anxiety that can potentially arise due to changing seasons during the rainy season (18.75%), the dynamics of government regulations against DHF (31.25%), increased workload especially during the Covid-19 pandemic (31.25%), and the location of the place work (18.75%). Program enrichment in the form of debriefing training in dealing with DHF for healthcare workers in case-prone places needs to emphasize helping psychological and mental readiness so that it can reduce the level of anxiety when there is a change in weather which is followed by an increase in the incidence rate of DHF Keyword: Anxiety DHF healthcare workers This open-access article is under the CC-BY-SA license.
Background:The textile industry has grown rapidly in Indonesia. As many as 2,900 textile industries spread throughout the country. Yet half of the textile industry employees work in weaving sections that have high noise intensity. This can lead to stress and behavioral changes, which can ultimately affect the quality of life of employees. Conceptually, the quality of the social environment in the workplace is influenced by the quality of social interaction and norms in the workplace. The quality of employees' lives is influenced by physical, psychological, and environmental factors, including employee freedom. This study aimed to analyze the influence of social capital on the quality of life of employees working in a noisy environment with high intensity in the textile industry in Karanganyar, Central Java. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at Kusuma Hadi textile industry, Karanganyar, Central Java. A sample of 250 employees (weaving 1, weaving 2, and administration) were taken for this study by simple random sampling. The independent variables were social capital, social stressors, and behavioral changes. The dependent variable was quality of life. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Results: Quality of life was affected by behavioral changes (b= 0.67, p<0.05), and behavioral change was influenced by social stressor (b= 0.73, p<0.05). Social stressor was influenced by social capital (b= 0.44; p<0.05). Conclusion: Social capital indirectly affects the quality of life of employees working in high-intensity noise environment through social stressor and behavioral changes.
