Introduction: Stunting is currently one of the world's nutritional problems suffered by toddlers. This study aimed to determine the factors and incidence of stunting among children aged 12-60 months old in Indonesia. Methods: The design was a cross-sectional approach. This research was conducted in the South Central Timor Regency from February to August 2020. The respondents of this study were as many as 286 mothers and children. The sampling technique used in this study was purposive sampling. The questionnaire was used to identify demographic factors, infectious diseases, maternal care practice factors and stunting was identified by using the anthropometric measurement by WHO age-based height index (Z score <-2 SD). Chi-square and logistic regression were used to determine the factors associated with the incidence and the dominant factors of stunting. Results: The results showed a significant relationship between the number of children with  p= 0.000; mother's knowledge with  p= 0.000; and practice of complementary feeding with the incidence of stunting with  p=0.000, while the main factor causing the incidence of stunting in toddlers is the number of children, which is more than two people in the family (p= 0.000, Exp (B) = 0.137). Conclusion: The number of children is the primary factor causing stunting in South Central Timor. Therefore, health workers should increase health promotion and education about stunting and raise family awareness in running family planning programs to meet children's needs, including nutrition and control of childbirth.

Background: Reporting patient safety incidents is important to improve patient safety and quality of care. Barriers to report patient safety incidents in nursing may occur due to lack of knowledge and unscheduled as well as low reporting rates. Unfortunately, nurses’ experiences in reporting patient safety incidents have not been comprehensively reviewed.Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore nurses’ experiences of reporting patient safety incidents in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia.Methods: A descriptive phenomenological approach was used to identify, analyze and describe the experiences of 15 nurses in reporting patient safety incidents.  Nurses having worked for more than two years, not on leave, not being infected with COVID-19 in the last 14 days, and not having a structural position were purposively recruited. Data were collected using in-depth interviews and voice recordings. The collected data were then transcribed verbatim, and thematic analysis was applied for data analysis.Results: Four main themes were found in this study, which included: (1) Priority and responsibility for services, (2) Barriers to incident reporting, (3) Learning for nurses, and (4) Support for nurses.Conclusion: The nurses experience of in reporting safety incidents is still constrained by several obstacles. It is hoped that health care organizations need to provide appropriate strategies to enhance the safety incident reporting efforts made by nurses. Based on the research findings, it is recommended that health service organizations disseminate the use of safety incident reporting forms and assist nursing managers to their subordinates by conducting supervision and motivation related to incident reporting on a scheduled and continuous basis.
