Stunting and anemia are longstanding public health challenges which adversely affects the cognitive development and physical wellbeing of children. Anemia and stunting occurring in this key period have serious implications for individuals and societies, especially in rural areas in developing country. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and associated factors of stunting and anemia among 6-24 months old children. The methode Cross-sectional survey was conducted among 134 children aged 6-24 months, which were living at Karangklesem village, in july 2019. A multistage sampling technique was used. children were randomly selected and used systematic random sampling method to select the research participants. Data on sociodemographic, anthropometric, dietary energy, blood samples for hemoglobin were collected. Binary logistic regression model was used to identify factors associated with the outcome variables (stunting and anemia) separately, and finally multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify independent variables of each outcomes. The result showed that 35,07% of children at Karangklesem were suffered from anemia and the malnutrition with prevalence rates of 31,34% for stunting, and 15,67% for stunting chronic. Anemia was significantly associated with malnutrition (stunting, OR: 1.65, 95% CI: 1.052.61. In the multivariable analyses, energy (OR = 4,18, 95% CI: 2,65-6,57) and low family income (OR = 4,08, 95% CI: 1,33-12,54) and anemia were factors significantly associated with stunting. less maternal education, parent's job not significantly increased the risk for infant anemia. This study revealed highlevel of stunting and anemia among children aged 6-24 months. Specific sociodemographic characteristics and energy were highly associated with infant anemia in rural areas of Karangklesem. Health education focusing on feeding practices and nutrition education could be a practical strategy for preventing anemia and malnutrition in young children.
One of the risk factors for stunting is lack of nutritional intake in the long term. Toddlers with poor nutritional status have a low immune system which can make them susceptible to infectious diseases. The macro nutrition improvement program is directed at reducing macro nutrition problems, which primarily address the problem of protein energy deficiency. The processing and development of local food ingredients as a source of need to overcome the stunting problem is still not widely carried out by mothers in the Banyumas Regency area.Integrated service post cadres (posyandu) and Family Welfare Development cadres (PKK) are major milestones in public health, especially infants and toddlers through their activities in mobilizing their citizens to utilize local food. So that in this activity the researchers held training for cadres, PKK mothers and mothers of babies and toddlers 6 - 24 months in all areas of Banyumas Regency in local food processing as an effort to handle and prevent nutritional problems in Banyumas Regency.Based on observations that have been made, out of all partners, around 80% of partners are skilled, and independent in implementing the processing of complementary foods made from local breast milk.
Background: As we know that breastfeeding saves children under five lives every year, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. The facts show that only 43% of infants 0-6 months are exclusively breastfed. The limited time for breast milk expression in between the mother's work routine needs to be supported by an efficient and effective pump. This study aimed to assess the type of breast pump not affect to pain scale, milk production, and pumping time in breastfeeding mothers. Methods: This research is a cross-sectional study with a sample of 36 breastfeeding mothers in Banyumas Regency. They were chosen by distributing survey invitations through the WhatsApp group with a background breastfeeding mothers. Data was collected using the Google form, and analyzed using the Chi Square statistical test with a significance level of 95% (Alpha 0.05). Results: Chi-Square analysis test shows the Asymp value. Sig. (2-sided) for the relationship between the type of Breast Pump and the Pain Scale, the volume of breast milk expressed, and the duration of pumping are 0.001; 0.905; 0.620, so only pain scale which less than α >0,05, the others are more than α >0,05. This result means any correlation between the type of breast pump with pain scale but no correlation with the amount of milk expressed, and the time spent pumping. Conclusion: There is no relationship between the type of breast pump, the amount of milk expressed, and the time spent pumping, but any correlation between pain scale. So breastfeeding mothers can choose any breast pump that fits their needs and consider other factors influencing breastfeeding success.
Periode remaja adalah periode transisi terjadinya perubahan tubuh, emosi dan kejiwaan. Pada periode tersebut remaja dihadapkan pada problematika kesehatan reproduksinya, seperti keputihan yang gatal dan berbau, anemia dan kehamilan diusia remaja yang seharusnya dapat dicegah. Hal ini menujukkan bahwa pemberdayaan remaja menjadi solusi untuk meningkatkan derajat kesehatan remaja. Tujuan dari pengabmas ini adalah meningkatkan pengetahuan remaja tentang kesehatan reproduksi. Metode yang digunakan dengan ceramah, demonstrasi, penyuluhan dan evaluasi. Kegiatan pengabmas dilakukan pada 30 responden yang diawali dengan survei, penilaian pengetahuan dan ketrampilan sebelum dan ssetelah penyuluhan. Hasil pretest menunjukkan bahwa 57,15% pengetahuan remaja dalam katagori kurang, 28,57% katagori cukup, dan 14,28 katagori baik. Hasil posttest menujukkan hasil pengetahuan reponden 10% pengetahuan kurang, 36,67% katagori cukup, dan 53,33% katagori baik.
Age below five, especially 624 months is a transition age that is vulnerable to malnutrition. Children who experience malnutrition will experience growth and development disorders, iron deficiency anemia. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between hemoglobin status and nutritional status on children aged 6-24 months. The research method is quantitative research with cross sectional approach. The samples were all children aged 6-24 months comprising of 132 children. The data was analyzed using the fisher exact with a significance level of 95% (α <0.05). The results showed that the value of α = 0.435> 0.05. Conclusions: there is no correlation between hemoglobin levels and nutritional status in children aged 6-24 months.
