Background The prevalence of smoking among adolescents is high in Indonesia. Therefore, this qualitative research aimed to explore the perspectives of Muslim adolescents on smoking habits as a reference for developing effective prevention programs. Methods Three focus group discussions involving 24 junior high school male students (mean age = 13.75 years) were the main source of data for this phenomenological qualitative study. The discussion guide was developed by the researchers based on the reviewed literature and validated by experts. The research findings were analyzed using an inductive content analysis with systematic steps based on the stages of qualitative data analysis. Results Adolescent perspectives on smoking were grouped into two themes: perception of smoking and smoking-related factors. The perception of smoking encompassed three sub-themes: smoking as a social habit, contradictive feelings, and the Islamic perspective. The smoking-related factors included peer pressure, the parents’ smoking status, masculinity and curiosity. The results indicated that adolescents consider smoking as a social habit but with contradictory feelings. The smoking habit was also stimulated by peer pressure, imitating parents who smoke, feeling masculine and curiosity. Conclusion We suggest that health professionals who are interested in developing smoking prevention programs in Indonesia should consider the adolescent perspective on smoking so that the prevention program will be more effective and appropriate for adolescents.

Objectives: This study investigated the effectiveness of the social marketing mix approach in increasing students’ knowledge about smoking, promoting positive attitudes toward smoking cessation, and decreasing smoking behavior.Methods: This quantitative research study incorporated a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest non-equivalent group design. Using the purposive sampling technique, 152 smoking students were selected as participants. They were divided into 2 equal groups, with 76 students in the control group and 76 in the intervention group. The data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed with the chi-square test, independent t-test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and Mann-Whitney U-test.Results: The social marketing mix intervention was effective in increasing the students’ knowledge about smoking (p<0.001), improving their attitude toward smoking cessation (p<0.001), and reducing their smoking behavior (p=0.014).Conclusions: This approach should be implemented by local governments to reduce smoking behavior in the community, especially among teenagers, in addition to instituting a smoking ban and applying fines.

Kekurangan Energi Kronik (KEK) merupakan keadaan dimana ibu menderita keadaan kekurangan kalori dan protein (malnutrisi) yang berlangsung menahun (kronis) yang mengakibatkan timbulnya gangguan kesehatan pada ibu hamil. Prevalensi KEK pada wanita hamil di Sulawesi Tenggara tahun 2018 sebesar 11,11%. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi asupan energi, pendapatan keluarga, pengetahuan ibu, dan usia kehamilan terhadap kejadian Kekurangan Energi Kronik (KEK) pada ibu hamil di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Benu-Benua dan Puskesmas Mata Kota Kendari tahun 2020. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan cross sectional. Populasi adalah semua ibu hamil yang menderita Kekurangan Energi Kronik (KEK) yang terdapat di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Benu-Benua dan Puskesmas Mata yaitu sebanyak 55 ibu hamil sekaligus sebagai sampel penelitian ini. Pengambilan sampel dengan menggunakan teknik total sampling. Hasil analisa menunjukkan bahwa hasil uji t parsial pada asupan energi dengan nilai signifikansi = 0.033> 0.05, pendapatan keluarga dengan nilai signifikansi = 0.036> 0.05, pengetahuan ibu dengan nilai signifikansi = 0.058< 0.05, dan usia kehamilan dengan nilai signifikansi = 0.868> 0.05. Kesimpulan: Asupan energi dan pendapatan keluarga merupakan faktor yang mempengaruhi kejadian kekurangan energi kronik pada ibu hamil. Sedangkan pengetahuan ibu dan usia kehamilan bukan merupakan faktor yang mempengaruhi kejadian kekurangan energi kronik pada ibu hamil di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Benu-Benua dan Puskesmas Mata Kota Kendari Tahun 2020. Sebaiknya bagi puskesmas perlu lebih sering melakukan penyuluhan terkait KEK pada ibu hamil. Kata kunci: Kekurangan Energi Kronik (KEK), asupan energi, pendapatan keluarga, pengetahuan ibu, usia kehamilan.      Chronic Energy Defiency (CED) is a condition that the mother suffers from a chronic shortage of calories and protein (malnutrition) which lasts for years (chronic) and causes health problem in pregnant women. The prevalence of CED in pregnant women in Southest Sulawesi, 2018 was 11,11%.

This research using total sampling technique. The analysis showed that the results of the the partial test on energy intake with a significance value= 0.033>0.05, family income  with a significance value= 0.036>0.05, maternal knowledge with a significance value= 0.058<0.05, and gestational age with a significance value= 0.868>0.05. Conclusion : energy intake and family incone is a factor affecting the incidence of CED in pregnant women. Meanwhile, maternal knowledge and gestational age are not factors that affect of chronic energy deficiency toward pregnant women in Puskesmas Benu-Benua and Puskesmas Mata Kota Kendari in 2020. Should the Puskesmas need to do counseling on Chronic Energy Deficiency or CED more often toward pregnant women. Keywords:  health Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED), energy intake, family income, maternal knowledge, gestational age.

Stunting can be a nutritional problem that will adversely affect the optimal development process of children according to their genetic potential. Stunting can hinder the process of growth and development in under-fives. This study aimed to determine the causes of stunting in under-fives in the Abeli sub-district, Kendari City. The method of study was descriptive qualitative by a case study design. Data obtained through in-depth interviews of 4 (four) key informants and 5 (five) ordinary informants. Based on the results of the study, it was known that the incidence of stunting in the Abeli sub-district was caused by low birth weight, exclusive breastfeeding, and complementary feeding. It was based on the results of interviews, of four under-fives were stunting, there were three under-fives had a birth weight <2500 grams. The reason was because of inadequate breast milk production and a lack of family support for mothers to provide exclusive breastfeeding to under-fives. The reason was that the mother did not carry out routine pregnancy checks so that the condition of the fetus was poorly monitored. Besides, all under-fives who were stunting did not receive exclusive breastfeeding. In giving complementary feeding, the mothers gave complementary feeding to under-fives too early. Besides, a portion of the meal did not meet the needs of under-fives and less varied food.
