Background:The incidence of stunting is one of the nutritional problems experienced by toddlers in the world today. Indonesia ranks fifth for stunting in the world, which is around 37% (nearly 9 million) children. Toddlers with stunting will have a level of intelligence that is not optimal, making children more vulnerable to disease and in the future can be at risk of decreasing levels of productivity. In the working area of the Barombong Public Health Center, it was reported that nutrition issues, especially exclusive breastfeeding for toddlers and pregnant women, were still the focus of attention from the current Puskesmas work plan. So that this problem could be a risk factor for stunting incidents experienced by many toddlers in the work area of Barombong Health Center, Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi. Objectives: This study aims to determine how the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and maternal height with the incidence of stunting in infants aged 2-5 years at the Barombong Public Health Center, Gowa district, South Sulawesi. Methods: A cross sectional approach was used, this study conducted in August 2018 with the total population was 56 toddlers were selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data collection was carried out by researcher assisted used questionnaires. Forty nine toddlers met inclusion criteria. Parental height data is obtained by measuring high using a precision microtoise of 0.1 cm and the incidence of stunting is obtained by measuring the nutritional status with toddler's height by age (TB / U) is less than -2 SD and chi square test was used to data analysis. Results: The results were prevalence of short fathers is 1%, and short mothers is 89.8%. The prevalence of children under five did not get exclusive breastfeeding is 75.5% and the incidence of stunting is 83.7% and very short 16.3%.From the bivariate test results there was no relationship of father's height with stunting events chi square test results (p-value 1.00) of parents with stunting events, there was a relationship of maternal height with stunting events chi square test results (p-value 0.026), there is a relationship between exclusive breastfeeding with the stunting event of the chi square test results (p-value 0.015). Conclusion: the conclusion of this study is need family approach and providing education to the family as well as best nutritional intake in the breast milk at the beginning of life in order to prepare the first 1000 days of children life to avoid Stunting.
Salah satu diantara peran tenaga kesehatan adalah sebagai educator atau sebagai pendidik, yang mana fokus nya adalah tingkat diabetic literacy individu, yaitu kemampuan individu dalam memperoleh, menginterpretasi serta menggunakan informasi tersebut sehingga dapat meningkatkan derajat kesehatan dalam hal ini adalah peningkatan self management. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis hubungan antara pemahaman diabetic literacy dengan self management pada pasien diabetes melitus di RS. Universitas Hasanuddin Makassar. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode cross sectional dengan jumlah sampel 30. Sampel merupakan pasien yang datang berobat ke Instalasi Rawat Jalan Interna yang terdiagnosa penyakit diabetes melitus dengan teknik pengambilan sampel dengan consecutive sampling. Data dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan kuesioner dan dianalisis dengan menggunakan uji statistik chi square. Hasil yang diperoleh adalah terdapat hubungan antara pemahaman diabetic literacy dengan self management dengan nilai p=0,002. Dari penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemahaman diabetic literacy pada pasien diabetes melitus dipengaruhi oleh performa tenaga kesehatan dalam melakukan komunikasi dengan pasien yang secara signifikan nantinya akan berhubungan dengan self mangement pasien dalam melakukan perawatan diri.
Introduction : Currently, stunting is one of the government's main concerns, because cases of stunting are increasing in Indonesia. The prevalence of stunting, which is in the high category, will affect growth and development failure in toddlers and will affect economic status if not taken seriously. One effort that can be done is to increase family empowerment, both through knowledge and attitudes and behavior.Objective: This study aims to determine family behavior with the incidence of stunting in toddlers aged 3-5 years, where the family behavior variables consist of Clean and Healthy Behavior (PHBS), family behavior in food processing, and family behavior in feeding. Research Methods: In this study using a descriptive research design with a cross sectional study approach. The respondents were mothers who had stunted toddlers aged 3-5 years in the working area of the Kaluku Bodoa Health Center, with a purposive sampling technique of 68 samples. Results: From the data analysis using SPSS with the chi square test, the results showed that there was a relationship between family PHBS behavior in food processing and feeding with the incidence of stunting in toddlers aged 3-5 years. As for each value p is p1 = 0.014, p2 = 0.012 and p3 = 0.000. Conclusion: from the results of this study, it can be concluded that the family is one of the factors that can reduce the incidence of stunting, for this reason it is necessary to increase government programs, especially in health centers that involve families in efforts to prevent stunting.
