<p><em>The coronavirus attacks the human respiratory tract. A person can get infected by a Covid-19 patient. The disease can spread through small droplets from the nose or mouth when coughing or sneezing. Transmission of the COVID-19 virus has two main ways, namely through respiratory droplets and contact. Respiratory droplets are produced when a person coughs or sneezes. Everyone in close contact (within a 1 m radius) with a person showing symptoms of respiratory distress (coughing, sneezing) is at risk of being exposed to respiratory droplets that may cause infection. Droplets can also fall onto surfaces where the virus remains active. A total of 93% of Medan city residents have implemented mask-wearing behavior. </em><em> Seventeen respondents (56.7%) use a hand sanitizer constantly, 15 respondents (29.4%) use a hand sanitizer sometimes, and 28 respondents (54.9%) never use a hand sanitizer. According to the data shown in table 4 above, seven respondents (90%) always use physical separation, compared to one respondent (10%) who never does so. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we aim to continue to increase our body's immune system and maintain personal hygiene to avoid various diseases and the Covid-19 virus. We also hope for constructive criticism and suggestions from our friends so that the article we have created meets expectations and is useful for all of us</em></p>
More than two million children suffer from malnutrition and more than 7 million children under the age of 5 suffer from stunted growth. Nutritional status is important as it is a risk factor for morbidity and mortality. The role of mothers is required to monitor the nutritional status of young children during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to determine the role of mothers in monitoring the nutritional status of young children during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, a qualitative approach was used to describe maternal activities in monitoring infant nutritional status during the pandemic. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews using a questionnaire as an interview guide. The whistleblower research was conducted in Medan City with up to 4 people as an area with a high COVID-19 prevalence rate and with Sibolga City with up to 6 whistleblowers as a comparison city with a low COVID-19 prevalence in North Sumatra province. This study found that the whistleblowers still had not implemented the COVID-19 prevention protocol, e.g. B. by not cleaning items frequently touched with disinfectants because they did not have disinfectant, did not feel the need to be cleaned regularly and lacked knowledge. Most of the whistleblowers had given their young children balanced diets during the COVID-19 pandemic, but some of the whistleblowers found restrictions on eating vegetables and fruits. Abstrak Lebih dari dua juta anak menderita gizi buruk dan lebih dari 7 juta anak di bawah usia 5 tahun mengalami stunting. Status gizi penting karena merupakan salah satu faktor risiko terjadinya kesakitan dan kematian. Peran ibu dibutuhkan untuk memantau status gizi pada balita selama pandemi COVID-19. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peran ibu terhadap pemantauan status gizi balita pada masa pandemi COVID-19. Pendekatan kualitatif digunakan pada penelitian ini untuk mendeskripsikan kegiatan yang dilakukan oleh ibu dalam pemantauan status gizi bayi pada masa pandemi. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara mendalam dengan menggunakan kuesioner sebagai panduan wawancara. Informan penelitian dilakukan pada Kota Medan sebanyak 4 orang sebagai daerah dengan tingkat penyebaran COVID-19 yang tinggi dan Kota Sibolga sebanyak 6 informan sebagai kota pembanding dengan penyebaran COVID-19 rendah di Provinsi Sumatera Utara. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa informan masih belum menerapkan protokol pencegahan COVID-19 seperti tidak membersihkan barang-barang yang sering disentuh dengan disinfektan dikarenakan tidak punya disinfektan, tidak merasa perlu untuk dibersihkan secara berkala, dan kurangnya pengetahuan. Sebagian besar informan sudah memberi balita makanan gizi seimbang di masa pandemi COVID-19 tetapi ditemukan keterbatasan dalam konsumsi sayur dan buah pada beberapa informan.
Berdasarkan data surveilans terpadu Puskesmas Desa Teluk tahun 2019, penderita hipertensi di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Desa Teluk paling banyak terjadi pada kelompok masyarakat lanjut usia. Konsumsi makanan yang mengandung protein, vitamin, dan mineral bagi lansia perlu ditingkatkan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional yang dilakukan di tiga desa yaitu desa Teluk, desa Telaga Jernih dan desa Suka Mulia yang merupakan wilayah kerja Puskesmas Desa Teluk pada Maret 2021. Sampel penelitian ini adalah lansia yang menderita hipertensi sebanyak 45 responden yang dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan tehnik purposive sampling menggunakan alat pengumpulan data berupa instrumen kuesioner STEPWise WHO yang terdiri dari pertanyaan tentang karakteristik responden dan konsumsi buah dan sayur responden. Mayoritas responden adalah perempuan (75,6%), kelompok umur terbanyak ialah lansia akhir dan manula (37,8%), pendidikan tidak bersekolah (44,4%) dan pekerjaan terbanyak adalah ibu rumah tangga (46,7%). Tidak ada hubungan konsumsi buah dengan hipertensi dengan p = 1,000 (p>α) dan tidak ada hubungan konsumsi sayuran dengan hipertensi dengan p = 0,567 (p>α).
