Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that can give an idea of the failure of growth accumulated since before and after birth resulting from inadequate intake of nutrients. Alak Health Center has 137 children stunting toddlers, and the working area of Alak Health Center is one of the villages that are included in the priorities of the stunting treatment in Kupang city. This research aims to determine of stunting incidence in children in the working area of Alak health center of Kupang City. This type of research is analytical surveys with a case-control research draft. The number of Samples of 110 infants selected systematic random sampling. Data retrieval is conducted using field measurements and structured interviews using questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted with a Chi-square test (bivariable) and double logistic regression (multivariable) with α = 0.05. The result of bivariable analysis with a value of P < 0.25 is the level of maternal education, parental income level, maternal nutritional knowledge level, large family, feeding practice, the practice of hygiene and environmental sanitation, care of children in pain, foster pattern, energy sufficiency level, and protein adequacy rate. The results of multivariable analyses showed the practice of environmental hygiene and sanitation, protein adequacy levels, and maternal nutritional knowledge level. It was concluded that the determining factor of stunting in children of toddlers in the workplace of health centers Alak Kupang City is the most dominant is the practice of environmental Hygiene and sanitation (OR = 7,986), the level of protein adequacy (OR = 4,132) and the level of maternal nutritional knowledge (OR = 2,553).
The Antenatal Care (ANC) service's success is seen from the coverage of K4, which is the number of pregnant women who have obtained ANC services with a minimum of four times the recommended schedule in each trimester during pregnancy. The achievement of K4 coverage at Tarus Health Center in the last three years has not reached the national MSS target (95%), which is 71,86% (2017), 77,63% (2018), and 65,48% (2019). This study aimed to determine the factors associated with the ANC (K4) visit in pregnant women in the Tarus Health Centre's working area. The type of research is an analytical survey using a cross-sectional design with a sample of 75 people and conducted in August-September 2020. The statistical test used is the Chi-Square test. The results showed that the related variables were the knowledge level (p=0,000), maternal attitude (p=0,006), service accessibility (p=0,035), and exposure to media information (p=0,000). Unrelated were husband support (p=0,291) and attitude of health workers (p=0.870). Health Centers should give regular counselling, supported by printed media, electronic media, and other media information that can increase pregnant women's participation in using ANC (K4) services. The public is expected to be involved.
Food is a source of nutrition for humans and is also a source of food for microorganisms. The growth of microorganisms in foodstuffs can cause unwanted physical or chemical changes causing food to be bad for consumption. Therefore to maintain the quality, the food must be given of preservatives. However, people may misuse the preservatives leading to the low safety of food that threatens health. Natural preservatives of plants is more advisable to minimize the risk. The aim of this research was to see the effect of galangal extract (Alpinia galanga) using 60% ethyl acetate solvent in inhibiting the growth of Escherichia coli bacteria through diffusion disk method. The measured parameter was the inhibition zone formed around the disc paper with a 24-hour incubation period. This research was an experimental study by making galangal extract in certain concentrations. Based on the measurements, the average inhibitory zone diameter at three repetitions with 24 hours observation showed that the galangal extract in several concentrations effectively inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli bacteria. The result showed that the higher the concentration of the extract the larger the mean drag zone formed around the disk paper. The most effective concentration was 20 ml concentration with 25,6 mm inhibition (0.000 (P <0,05), F = 89,592).
Stunting merupakan kondisi kronis yang menggambarkan terhambatnya pertumbuhan karena malnutrisi jangka panjang yang ditandai dengan indeks panjang badan dibanding umur (PB/U) atau tinggi badan dibanding umur (TB/U) dengan batas z-score kurang dari -2 SD. Kejadian stunting pada balita disebabkan karena perilaku ibu yang kurang baik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perilaku ibu dalam halnya pengetahuan, sikap dan tindakan dalam pemberian ASI eksklusif dan MP-ASI terhadap kejadian stunting di Kelurahan Naioni Kota Kupang. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah observasi analitik dengan rancangan case control. Sampel dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 60 ibu yang memiliki anak balita yang dibagi menjadi 30 untuk balita stunting dan 30 untuk balita normal di Kelurahan Naioni Kota Kupang. Analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis univariabel dan analisis bivariabel, dengan uji statistik chi-square. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap kejadian stunting adalah pengetahuan ASI eksklusif p=0,041, OR=4,333, sikap pemberian ASI p=0,000, OR=18,000, tindakan pemberian ASI p=0,000, OR=13,143, pengetahuan MP-ASI p=0,003, OR=10,706, sikap pemberian MP-ASI p=0,000, OR= 11,667 dan tindakan pemberian MP-ASI p=0,002, OR= 6,417. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah stunting berhubungan dengan perilaku ibu dalam pemberian ASI dan pemberian MP-ASI di Kelurahan Naioni Kota Kupang
Autistic is a very complex developmental disorder in children, which begins to appear before the age of three years. Autistic children have certain food diet so that a mother must have good knowledge about the right foods choices for the children. The increasing of knowledge can be done by various ways, one of them is using poster media. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of using diet intervention poster media for autistic children to increase the knowledge of mothers in SBLN Pembina Kupang in 2019 year. This study uses One Group Pretest Postest Design and descriptive analysis method. The population are all mothers who have autistic children especialy 16 mothers as a sample. The results shows that using poster media is effective in order to increase mothers knowledge about diet intervention of autistic children (This can be seen from the mean value of the pretest that is 64.38 to 83.75 (it shows that there is an increasing amount 19.37 from early knowledge).
