Background: Short stature in toddlers indicates chronic nutritional problems that are influenced by maternal conditions, birth weight, toddler weight, and infant diseases or other problems that indirectly affect health.Purpose: To determine the factors affecting stunting among toddlers in Ende, IndonesiaMethod: Correlational using a cross sectional approach to 155 toddlers. Purposive sampling was used to collect samples from eight sub-districts in Ende Regency. Questionnaires were distributed for data collection. In this study, bivariate analysis used chi-square test, and multivariate analysis used logistic regression.Results: Univariate analysis showed that most of the respondents (mothers of toddlers) had a history of short stature, was not at risk for gestational age, had poor nutrition, had a good level of knowledge about infant food and nutrition, had no history of infection during pregnancy, and always had antenatal care check-ups. Factors under five identified that almost all have a history of infectious diseases, have been sick in the last month, have no history of low birth weight, have complete vaccination, are not premature, and have intrauterine growth, and growth restriction. Environmental factors indicate that some respondents have clean latrines, have a distance to health facilities <1 km, have clean drinking water, and are not pregnant and breastfeeding.Conclusion: Several variables have a significant relationship with stunting in such as exclusive breastfeeding, infectious diseases, drinking water quality, and distance to health facilities. The results of the multivariate analysis showed that the infectious disease variable was the dominant variable causing stunting in Ende Regency.Suggestion: Local health authority to garner cooperation from various regional bureaucracies in Ende Regency to tackle stunting in this area.
Background: Covid-19 transmission is very easy, and simultaneously, resulting in a higher incidence of morbidity and mortality. The special incidence rate in Ende Tengah District, Onekore Health Center area, in February 2021 there were 11 close contacts, 42 people were the highest SWAB-PCR positive in Ende Regency, 2 people were isolated at the Ende Regional General Hospital, while 40 people were self-isolating. at home, 2 people died. Special attention from families is needed by treating patients in self-isolation according to health protocols, to prevent transmission of COVID-19. Purpose: To determine Covid-19 transmission to family caregivers during home care of members with COVID-19.Method: The design uses a mixed-method with a cross-sectional approach. The sample size is 40 self-isolated patients using total sampling. Data were collected using Chi-Square Bivariate Analysis and Multivariate Logistic Regression Test.Results: There is no effect of work on the prevention of Covid-19 transmission with the results of the bivariate statistical test p-value 0.232. There is an effect of self-isolation patient care at home in the variable not leaving the room, bivariate statistical test p-value = 0.001 ( p> 0.05). The results of the logistic regression statistical test p-value (2.211 - 47.842). However, there was no influence from the four variables, namely recognizing the signs and symptoms of severe Covid-19 ( p-value = 0.894), using the correct health protocol (p-value = 0.163), giving good nutrition (p-value = 0.087) and the needs of patients are served by healthy people (p-value = 0.308). The results of the logistic regression statistical test on the effect of recognizing severe symptoms of Covid-19, the p-value (0.198-6.385). The effect of using health protocols p-value (0.573-20.103) The effect of providing good nutrition p-value 1.476 ( 2.862). The effect of serving the needs of patients by healthy people is the p-value (0.407 – 15.751).Conclusion: The main treatment for self-isolated patients is that patients are not allowed to leave the room to prevent the transmission of Covid-19, by including counseling of family members by nurses at the community health center.
Background: For almost ten years Wewaria Village, Wewaria sub-district of Ende Regency suffered a flood disaster. The flood occurred in 2008, 2012, and 2016. Paupanda II Village has a puddle up to one and a half meter every year. Flood emergencies can cause family panic in rescuing themselves or their children under five. Children are a vulnerable group in the health sector because they cannot help themselves, when floods. If family preparedness is low, then the child’s health threatened, increasing the child’s morbidity or mortality rate. Purpose: This study explains or explore the experience of family preparedness who have children under five dealing with floods. Method: it used Purposive sampling in selecting the first informant then using snow ball sampling for the next informant. The number of samples is 9 people taken from a family of 6 people, 2 policy stakeholders, and 1 health worker. The qualitative analysis used is triangulation of data sources. Results: Family knowledge is well, but preparedness is still low for children needs, flood early warning, flood emergency response preparedness, and resource mobilization deal with floods.
