“…They documented improved recovery with RUTF (risk ratio 1·32; 95%CI 1·16-1·50) and concluded that decisions to treat with RUTF must be based on avail ability, aff ordability, and practicality. 2 We agree with these considerations and stand by the recommendation for using RUTF (including locally manufactured products) for community management of severe acute malnutrition (severe wasting), underscoring that such management also includes additional elements such as treatment of infections. The fact that our model indicates such a huge eff ect of community management of severe acute malnutrition is a testament to the great need in poor populations at risk globally, including India.…”

“…Hasil penelitian sebelumnya menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan status gizi dengan cara pemberian PMT-P tidak signifikan, karena peningkatan berat badan balita malnutrisi hanya mencapai 0,8 g/kg/hari sampai dengan 1,79 g/kg/hari). 4 Pada penelitian ini, program PMT-P hanya dapat meningkatkan 4,3% status gizi balita malnutrisi.…”

AbstrakMalnutrisi pada balita masih merupakan permasalahan di Indonesia termasuk di Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Berdasarkan indikator berat badan menurut tinggi badan, 2,6% balita mengalami malnutrisi akut berat. Pada beberapa dekade terakhir, telah terjadi pergeseran paradigma dalam penanganan balita malnutrisi, yang sebelumnya berbasis pendekatan fasilitas kesehatan bergeser menjadi pendekatan berbasis komunitas. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis pengaruh program home care terhadap peningkatan status gizi balita malnutrisi pada anak usia 6-60 bulan. Penelitian menggunakan desain kuasi eksperimen dengan pretest dan posttest control group melalui tiga tahap pendampingan yaitu intensif, mandiri, dan penguatan dengan pendekatan asuhan keperawatan. Sampel adalah 56 balita malnutrisi akut di dua wilayah, yaitu 33 balita di Kota Yogyakarta (eksperimen) dan 23 balita di Kabupaten Sleman (kontrol) dengan teknik pengambilan sampel yaitu purposive sampling. Intervensi home care diberikan selama tiga 3 bulan (Januari sampai Maret 2013). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan setelah program home care, terjadi peningkatan yang signifikan pada status gizi balita (p < 0,05). Pada akhir intervensi, terjadi penurunan kejadian malnutrisi akut berat dari 100% menjadi 56,7% (p < 0,05). Kata kunci: Balita, home care, malnutrisi akut berat, status gizi Abstract Children undernutrition is still an issue in Indonesia, including in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Based on weight for height indicator, 2.6% children experience severe acute malnutrition. In the last few decades, there has been a paradigm shift in the management of acute malnutrition from a facility-based to community-centered approach. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of home care intervention on the improvement of nutritional status of severe acute malnutrition children aged 6-60 months. This study was designed with quasi-experimental and pretest-posttest control group design, conducted in three phases; intensive, strengthening and independent with nursing approach (January until March 2013). Samples were 56 children with severe and moderate acute malnutrition for both study sites, 33 children in Yogyakarta city (experiment) and 23 children in Sleman district (control), selected using purposive sampling. Home care intervention is given for three months (January until March 2014). Results findings show there were significant increase in nutritional status (p < 0.05) after home care intervention. At end line evaluation, the proportion of severe acute malnutrition in the experimental groups reduced significantly from 100% to 56,7% (p < 0.05).

“…The problem is particularly heavy in rural areas, where the quality of the diet is extremely low and the consumption of food and dietary diversification are inadequate in more than 31% of households, in spite of There are also a wide range of specialized foods ranging from Fortified Blended Foods (FBFs) and micronutrient powders to Readyto-Use Foods and High-Energy Biscuits (HEBs) such as Plumpy'Net, with which it is possible to obtain good results [18,19].…”

Objective: To develop sustainable recipes, using local food resources, as a possible solution to manage children malnutrition and nutritional lack in Mozambique, thus preventing infectious diseases. Methods:Our work was based on the Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) reports for children aged 4-8 years old. After having listed more than 60 commonly consumed local foods in Mozambique, we developed some recipes, indicating composition, energy and nutrients values. Information on nutrients concentrations was taken from the National Nutrient Database for Standard References, the Food Composition Tables for Mozambique and the Research Center for Aliments and Nutrition. In the recipes, the traditional way of listing ingredients was reported, which were then turned into international, standardized values. Results:We elaborated some different local food recipes, easy to prepare, at low cost and useful in a systematic approach in order to fight malnutrition in Sofala Province, Mozambique. Each recipe included functions and daily Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of: water, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, fibers, sodium, potassium, iron, calcium, phosphorus and vitamins. We suggested recipes richer in vitamins and micro/macro nutrients for breakfast, while those providing high caloric intake were more indicated for the main meal. The resulting recipes have been made understandable, for both local and international population, thanks to the coexistence of traditional and international description of ingredients. Conclusion:Local recipes approach is a possible promising tool among the most cost-effective/high impact interventions against child malnutrition and mortality from infectious diseases in Mozambique. a general improvement in food production and availability of food [16]. Different and various strategies have been adopted to fight the malnutrition problem and the food-based approach in prevention and control of micronutrient deficiencies as well as nutrition, is fully recognized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations [10,17].
