Scabies is a highly contagious skin disease in humans and other mammals caused by the parasitic mite sarcoptes scabiei. The main transmission of scabies is from direct physical contact, so scabies is susceptible to spread in a closed environment that is densely populated, such as houses, dormitories, and boarding schools. The location of the training is at Sulaimania Boarding School in Kuta Baro District, Aceh Besar Regency. The objective to be achieved from the training activities is to increase the knowledge of students at Sulaimania Islamic Boarding School, through the dissemination of knowledge about clean and healthy living behaviors to prevent scabies. The method used in the form of lectures, practice and frequently asked questions. Evaluation of training activities is carried out by distributing questionnaires before and after the activity. The evaluation showed that overall there was an increase approximately 60.34% in students' understanding of the prevention of scabies and healthy and clean living behaviors and the participants benefited from this training.
The problem of stunting is one of the nutritional problems faced in the world, especially in poor and developing countries. Stunting is a form of growth failure (growth faltering) due to the accumulation of nutritional inadequacy that lasts for a long time starting from pregnancy until the age of 24 months. The population in this study were teenagers/students of Man Indrapuri. The sampling technique used is total sampling. In the study, the independent variable was the provision of counseling about stunting, while the dependent variable was the knowledge of the students of Man Indrapuri I Aceh Besar. The number of samples taken was 20 students. Based on the results of the study, where after counseling the knowledge of students about stunting increased from before being given counseling. Where the percentage before counseling is as much as 40% to 90% after counseling. If there is an increase in respondents after counseling, it can be said that the provision of education with the extension method is very effective for students' knowledge about stunting so that it can reduce the risk of stunting cases in the community.
Stunting that has occurred if not balanced with catch-up growth (chasing growth) results in decreased growth, stunting problems are public health problems related to increased pain risk, death and inhibitions to growth both motor and mental. This study used a pre-expriemental design type of one group pretest-posttest design. The population in this study was the people of Lambroe Bileu Village. The sampling technique used is total sampling. In the independent variable research, it is the provision of counseling on stunting, while the dependent variable is the knowledge of the people of Lambroe Bileu Aceh Besar Village. Based on the results of the study, where after counseling, mothers' knowledge about stunting increased from before being given counseling. Where the percentage before counseling is 37.5% to 87.5% after counseling. If there is an increase in respondents after counseling, it can be said that providing education with the counseling method is very effective for maternal knowledge about stunting so as to reduce the risk of stunting cases in the community.
The prevalence of stunting in Aceh Province is 44.6% on a national scale, while the prevalence in Banda Aceh is 38.8%. Given the cause of the incident, it is vital to emphasize that as well. The objective of this study was to explore the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding, complementary feeding, immunization status, and family characteristics with the incidence of stunting in infants. A total of 96 samples were collected from the areas of Puskesmas Banda Raya, Batoh, and Meuraxa as part of this quantitative study employing a Case-Control Study design. The analysis of data was performed univariately and bivariately using the Chi-square test with a 95% confidence interval, and multivariately (logistic regression). The results showed that the incidence of stunting in infants was caused by low family income (p = 0.026; OR = 3.1), non-exclusive breastfeeding (p = 0.002; OR = 4.2), inadequate complementary feeding (p = 0.007); OR = 3.4), and incomplete immunization (p = 0.040; OR = 3.5). The results of the multivariate analysis revealed that non-exclusive breastfeeding was a significant contributor to infant stunting in the Banda Aceh region, with an odds ratio (OR) of 4.9. Accordingly, stunting in children is linked to a lower family income, breastfeeding that is not exclusive, inadequate complementary nutrition, and insufficient immunization. In contrast, non-exclusive breastfeeding is the major contributing factor for children with stunting.
The traditional gold processing process in Paya Seumantok Village, Krueng Sabee District, Aceh Jaya Regency, Aceh Province, is carried out using the amalgamation method which still uses mercury in the process, so it poses a risk to the health of workers and the surrounding community. This study aims to obtain an overview of the clinical symptoms experienced by workers and the community around the gold processing area. This study uses qualitative research methods with the number of community respondents were 90 respondents, and the number of worker respondents were 10 workers. Based on the results, the common acute clinical symptoms experienced by the community were headache (48.6%), cough (39.6%), abdominal pain (37.8%), diarrhea (29.7%), and hip pain (25.2%). While the chronic clinical symptoms experienced by the majority of community respondents were headaches (47.7%), irritability (27.9%), insomnia (26.1%), muscle cramps (23.4%), and weight loss (20.7%). Moreover, the most common acute clinical symptoms experienced by workers were cough (8 respondents), pelvic pain, diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea, and headaches were experienced by 7 respondents respectively. While for chronic clinical symptoms, the majority of workers experienced headaches and insomnia (8 respondents), irritability (6 respondents), anxiety (6 respondents), muscle cramps (5 respondents), and tremors (4 respondents). Based on the result, it can be concluded that the clinical symptoms encountered by the community and workers in the gold processing area have not shown clinical signs that are quite dangerous.
