Stunting is a growth disorder in children caused by malnutrition for a long time. The child's condition becomes shorter than normal children his age and has a delay in thinking. The incidence of stunting in Indonesia is quite high sostunting is becoming a priority health problem now. An effective strategy is needed to control stunting in Indonesia. The aim of this review was to explore the stunting management strategies to potentially implement in Indonesia.A literature review design was used to explore the stunting management strategies. Literature study of 15 articles retrieved from the journal database of Science Direct, Proquest, Scopus, and EBSCO in the last 5 years using keywords stunting, management, rural areas, and community based. Data were analyzed in tables consist of title, author, year, sample, methodology, and result. Control and preventionstunting could done through integrated nutrition interventions.Strategy Specific nutritional interventions such as providing supplementation and supplementary food plus nutritional interventions including non-health interventions, improving the family's economy, access and utilization of clean water, sanitation (especially latrines and safe septic tanks), which are urgently needed to support personal hygiene behavior and the environment . Interventions can use mother's counseling and support methods regularly by health workers by involving health cadres.Specific and sensitive intervention strategies are effective strategies within stunting control and prevention. Monitoring and evaluation of nutritional knowledge, attitudes and practices coupled with an assessment of the nutritional status and morbidity of mothers and children is also very necessary in controlling and preventing stunting in Indonesia
Globally, almost 40% of tuberculosis clients are undiagnosed and delayed treatment. This condition leads to disease transmission and increasing new cases. Healthcare workers and community health volunteers as an active case finding frontliner and case manager in the community. The elevated numbers of new case findings and comprehensive management of diseases are the successful indicators of the tuberculosis prevention program. This study identified research articles related to community health volunteer empowerment in tuberculosis case management. Literature study of 20 articles from journal database, such as: Science Direct, Proquest, Scopus, and EBSCO for the last 5 years. It used keywords tuberculosis, community volunteer or empowerment, community-based early case finding. Data were analyzed in tables consist of title, author, year, methodology, result, and recommendation. The empowerment of the community health volunteers was effective in increasing tuberculosis case finding, especially in the border areas, remote areas and rural area. The existence of the community health volunteers brought tuberculosis services closer to the community and able to minimize barriers of health access and costs. Increasing the capacity of the community health volunteers is needed to support their role. Community health volunteers with a history of tuberculosis or from a family with tuberculosis are more acceptable in the community so the success of case finding and treatment is achieved. Community health volunteers worked through home visits were able to change community’s perspectives, promote the formation of health seeking behavior and minimize public-stigma. The empowerment of the community health volunteers is essentially needed as the alternative strategies to find new cases in the community and strengthen its management. There need to provide a wholesome moral and material support from the government for the community health volunteers. This can be integrated into the management of tuberculosis programs in primary health care facilities.
<p><strong>Introduction:</strong> The increase of adolescent population globally and nationally makes adolescent as vulnerable group to health problems, especially reproductive health. Adolescent has curiosities, like challenges, and dare to take risks. The impact is unwanted pregnancy, sexual transmition diseases, and abortion. Therefore, there is a need of KIE media for adolescent reproductive health based on information technology: <em>smart phone applications</em>.</p><p><strong>Objective:</strong> To identify research articles on smart phone use as KIE media for adolescent reproductive health.</p><p><strong>Method:</strong> Literature study in 20 journals through Google Scholar, Proquest, and EBSCO in the last 5 years, keywords<em> adolescent reproductive health, health education, smartphone application</em>. Data are analyzed in tables contain title, author, year, methodology, result, and recommendation.</p><p><strong>Result:</strong> Smartphone application as KIE media for adolescent reproductive health effectively increased the connection of adolescents with parents and health workers, improved sexual transmition diseases screening, was more attractive and innovative, took into privacy, was accurate information, wider reach, easy access, affordable costs, interactive, practical, and appropriate to the needs of today's adolescent.</p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Smartphone applications such as text message, social media, and website can open adolescent access to get fast and accurate health information. The media development needs to focus on the characteristics and needs of adolescent and can be integrated with adolescent health programs.
The partner problem from the results of the preliminary study is that the target for providing hypertension treatment services has not been achieved by 84.6%, the low number of visits to Pos Bindu PTM. The results of environmental observations showed that community behavior has the potential to cause hypertension to become increasingly uncontrolled, such as rarely doing health checks, consumption of high-salt and fast food foods, cigarette consumption, and no routine, and scheduled sports activities. Community service activities aim to provide education programs and procedures for implementing SMART behavior to control PTM in people with hypertension in the UPTD Sukaraya Community Health Center target area. The methods used are lectures, discussions, questions and answers, SMART gymnastics demonstrations, and red demonstrations. The activity was attended by 30 people with a history of hypertension treatment. The output of this activity is a modified video of the SMART exercise with nuances of local wisdom, and a popular article in the OKU regional health bulletin. The results of the activity showed an increase in knowledge of 11.34% and an increase in skills of 72.67% from the results of pre and post-tests in people with hypertension who became participants in the activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
