Background: The burden of malnutrition in Indonesia is quite large, with more than a quarter of the adolescent population aged 16-18 years, 27 percent experiencing stunting and 8 percent being underweight, the prevalence of anemia in young women aged 13-18 years is 22.7 percent. The highest prevalence of chronic energy deficiency (CED) in women of childbearing age is experienced by adolescents aged 15-19 years, reaching 36.3%. Nutritional problems in adolescents have serious implications for the health of young people, affecting the well-being of current and future generations, as well as the economy and health of countries. In particular, the nutritional status of adolescent girls is closely related to pregnancy outcomes and the health and survival of mothers and children. Objective: To identify the diversity of food consumption and nutritional status of young women who live in boarding houses Methods: This study is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design that aims to identify the diversity of food consumption and nutritional status of female adolescents living in boarding houses. The sample in this study were young women who had just entered higher education at the age of 18-19 years, who lived in boarding houses, totaling 49 people. The diversity of food consumption was identified using the Semi Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). Nutritional status was assessed based on body mass index and upper arm circumference. Results: The diversity of food consumption of respondents was low at 46.9%, the nutritional status based on BMI was mostly in the normal category, namely 71.42%, the nutritional status based on the LiLA category was lacking, namely 46.93%, there was no relationship between BMI and diversity in food consumption (P Value 0.13, but there is a significant relationship between the diversity of food consumption and LiLA (P Value 0.02). Conclusion: Diversity in food consumption is low and there are nutritional problems in young women living in boarding houses.

Indonesia is a country with a stunting prevalence that can still be categorized as high with a prevalence rate of 24.4%. Various efforts have been made by the government to be able to overcome the stunting problem that occurs through various policies and regulations as well as through national strategies and interventions. This paper aims to explain the national policies and regulations and strategies used on tackling stunting in Indonesia. The method used in this research is a literature study method where the technique is through library data collection, reading and taking notes, and managing research materials. Indonesia already has a number of national policies and strategies on stunting that are realized in the form of interventions both specific and sensitive. Specific interventions are carried out by the Health sector by focusing on priority goals and important goals, while sensitive interventions are carried out by sectors outside Health where they are carried out to increase access to nutritious food; increase awareness, commitment, and nutrition parenting practices of mothers and children; improve access and quality of nutritional and health services; and improve the provision of clean water and sanitation facilities. Policies and regulations that exist at the central level, must also be followed by follow-up in the regions to the village level and involve not only the health sector but also other related sectors.

Worm infection is a health problem that often occurs throughout the world, especially in Indonesia with a high prevalence. One of the most common helminthic infections in Indonesia is the Soil Transmitted Helminths worm. Children are an age group that is susceptible to this infection. Worm infections can have serious consequences if not treated with deworming medication and a clean and healthy lifestyle for the person. This community service is carried out with the aim of conducting counseling about environmental health, especially in helminthiasis at the Alak Final Disposal Site, Kupang City. This activity conducts counseling and examination of the community on how to deal with helminthiasis in children. Subjects as many as 30 children. The worm examination was carried out using the direct slide method and then observed under a microscope with a magnification of 10x-40x. Based on the results of the examination found Ascaris lumbricoides eggs by 10%. So based on the results of this service it shows that there is a prevalence of worm infection in the Alak Final Disposal Site. Therefore, it is suggested to parents and especially children to further improve the Clean and Healthy Lifestyle (PHBS) to avoid worm infection.

Rare diseases present a significant challenge in diagnosis due to their low prevalence and the limited awareness among healthcare professionals. The emergence of genomic technologies, particularly Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), has revolutionized the diagnosis of rare diseases by enabling the identification of genetic variations associated with these conditions. This technology offers improved accuracy and speed compared to traditional clinical diagnostic methods, which are often time-consuming and insufficient for rare genetic conditions. This study explores the application of genomic technology in identifying rare diseases in Indonesia, highlighting its effectiveness, accuracy, and the challenges involved in its implementation. The research employed genomic testing techniques, including whole-genome sequencing (WGS), to identify genetic mutations associated with rare diseases in patients. The findings of the study demonstrate that genomic technology significantly reduces the time required for diagnosis, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the genetic conditions. Diseases such as Diphyllobothriasis and Sparganosis, which are rarely diagnosed through traditional clinical methods, were successfully identified using genomic technologies. However, challenges persist in the implementation of genomic technology in Indonesia, including limited infrastructure, high costs, and a lack of specialized training for healthcare professionals. Despite these barriers, the findings underscore the potential of genomic technologies to improve the diagnosis and management of rare diseases in Indonesia. The study concludes by recommending further investments in infrastructure, the training of healthcare professionals, and the development of supportive policies to facilitate the widespread adoption of genomic technologies in the healthcare system, particularly for the diagnosis of rare diseases.

One of the main causes of mortality in children, as well as an important factor leading to malnutrition is Diarrhea. The prevalence of diarrhea among the 5-14 age group ranks highest after the toddler and elderly age groups. In 2018, the number of diarrhea cases among all age groups served by healthcare facilities increased by 229,734 cases from the previous year of 2017. Children who have persistent diarrhea may experience subpar results in terms of their growth and development.. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the connection between handwashing practices and dietary habits and the prevalence of diarrhea in school-aged children.. The research method used is a Literature Review, by searching for research articles sourced from the electronic database Google Scholar using keywords such as diarrhea, handwashing habits, food consumption, and students. From the analysis of 5 articles, it was found that the habit of washing hands with soap and maintaining nail hygiene can prevent the occurrence of diarrhea in children. A good food consumption pattern also has a lower risk of experiencing diarrhea. Age differences in children are also related to the incidence of diarrhea, where younger children are more susceptible to experiencing diarrhea.

One of the efforts to detect deviations in child development is by early detection, so that prevention, stimulation, healing and recovery efforts can be given correctly according to the indications. Detection for growth and development is an effort that needs to be supported, because it is one way to prepare quality future generations. Based on a preliminary survey conducted on mothers who had toddlers visiting Posyandu in Randusari village, it was found that mothers did not understand developmental stimulation in toddlers in order to detect early developmental delays.The prevalence of toddlers experiencing the greatest stunting at the beginning of 2022 in Tegal Regency is in Pagerbarang District (40%) exceeding the target set by the government which is no more than 20%. The technique of implementing community service is carried out by providing education on toddler development using KPSP.The results of the implementation of community service which was attended by 60 participants, namely education related to stimulation of development with KPSP, that most mothers of toddlers have understood the meaning of development, stages of development according to the age of their children, and stimulation of development that can be carried out by mothers and families. With the enthusiasm of the participants, local area stakeholders hope that similar activities can be carried out continuously in the working area of ​​the Pagerbarang Health Center. The output of the service also results in the publication of scientific articles related to the stimulation of growth and development of toddlers.

ABSTRACT. Sectio Caesarea (SC) is a common and widely performed operation on pregnant women and its prevalence is increasing every year. The incidence of cesarean section in Indonesia is around 22.8% of all deliveries. Spinal anesthesia for cesarean section is very beneficial because of the simplicity of the technique, fast onset, reduced systemic toxicity but has the risk of complications that often occur after anesthesia and surgery are pain, nausea and vomiting. Objective: To analyze the comparison of the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PON-V) between fasting and non-fasting in patients with caesarean section who underwent regional anesthesia. Research Methods: Experimental research with clinical trials and including quantitative research. It will be held in March 2021 at IBS RSUD Caruban, Madiun Regency. The sampling technique was probability sampling using consecutive sampling where the sample consisted of 30 SC surgery patients who were divided into two groups, namely 15 fasting and non-fasting patients with spinal anesthesia. Data analysis using Paired Sample T Test with SPSS 22.00 for windows. Result : Post operative nausea and vomiting occurred in both groups . The difference in the incidence of PON-V in both fasting and non-fasting groups in cesarean section patients, the T test (independent T Test) showed a p value of 0.380 (p value > 0.05). Conclusion: There is no difference in the comparison of PON-V between fasting and non-fasting patients in sectio cesarean surgery patients at Caruban Hospital, Madiun Regency in 2021.  

Introduction: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a condition in which the kidneys have experienced functional or structural damage or disturbances. The condition of the kidney that has decreased function is unable to dispose of waste products through urination which can result in disruption of endocrine, fluid, electrolyte, metabolic and acid-base functions, one of the consequences of which is the occurrence of edema. The prevalence of kidney failure in Central Java reached 0.42% with a total of 96,794 sufferers. The impact of edema that is not treated will result in respiratory, cardiovascular systems, neurological systems. The purpose of this study was to see the effect of a combination of ankle pump exercise and 30° foot elevation on edema in CKD patients at the Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital in Semarang. Method: This research is a quantitative study using a pre-experimental pretest-posttest design approach. The sample is 12 respondents with purposive sampling technique. Results: The results of this study were mostly male with a total of 10 with a percentage of 83.3% with an average age of 44.50. the results of the bivariate analysis with the Marginal Homogeneity Test obtained a significant value of p = 0.001 (<0.05). Conclusion: There is an effect of a combination of ankle pump exercise and 30° foot elevation on foot edema in CKD patients.  

Background: Mental health is a picture of positive characteristics with harmony and psychological balance that reflects the maturity of his personality. Meanwhile, mental disorders are behavioral patterns that clinically occur in individuals related to distress or disability or are accompanied by a significantly increased risk of death, illness, disability, or loss of independence. According to WHO (World Health Organization) the prevalence of mental disorders in the world is around 450 million people. The high rate of recurrence in people with mental disorders requires us to be more active in knowing the causes. The purpose of this study is to find out an in-depth description of the biological causal factors of a person experiencing mental disorders. This research method uses descriptive qualitative research. Samples were taken randomly with the criteria of someone with a Mental Disorder (ODGJ). The population of this study were mental patients who were treated at RSJD Dr. Amino Gondhohutomo Semarang. The research instrument used a mental disorder predisposition questionnaire. The questionnaire has construct validity and reliability and has been used during Residencies I to III. The results of this study showed that of the 106 respondents who had biological predisposing factors, a history of mental disorders was 39%, followed by a history of drug withdrawal of 38.1%, and the lowest was nutritional disorders.

The prevalence of stunting is one of the biggest nutritional problems among toddlers in Indonesia. The proportion of short and very short nutritional status in babies under two years old (baduta) reached 29.9% or higher than the 2019 RPJMN target, which was 28%. Stunting due to malnutrition that occurs in the First 1000 Days of Life (HPK) notonly causes obstacles to physical growth and increases vulnerability to disease, but also threatens cognitive development which will affect children's intelligence and productivity levels.Objective: To know the nutritional status of children under five, especially related to stunting, to increase parents' knowledge about stunting, to raise public awareness of the dangers of stunting.The activities consist of preparation stages, implementation of counseling which begins with filling in the pre-test questionnaire and ends with filling in the post-test questionnaire, as well as the evaluation stage.

Indonesia is one of the countries with a high stunting rate. In Indonesia, the strategy to accelerate the reduction of stunting is carried out by involving various figures from the government, academia, the private sector, the community, philanthropy and the mass media, and is coordinated by the Vice President. The aim of this research is to find out the implementation strategy for reducing stunting in Kosambironyok Village, Anyar District, Serang Regency in 2022. The type of research used is a qualitative method. The data sources used in this study are primary and secondary data. The informants who played a role in this study consisted of 2 groups, namely the group of informants and the group of key informants. The results of this study indicate that health workers at the Puskesmas, District officials and village officials understand their respective roles in working together to accelerate the reduction of stunting. It is hoped that all health workers will take an active role with the government in implementing the program to reduce stunting rates in toddlers. The stunting reduction program can be carried out by conducting socialization regarding the process of preventing stunting from an early age and how to overcome it.    

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the prevalence of parenting and stunting worldwide is 22 percent or as many as 149.2 million in 2020. Stunting is caused by multi-dimensional factors and not only caused by malnutrition experienced by pregnant women and children under five, another cause is poor parenting practices, including the lack of knowledge of mothers about health and nutrition before and during pregnancy, as well as after mothers give birth. Purpose of Writing : To determine the relationship between parenting style and the incidence of stunting in toddlers aged 12-59 months in Pasirhaur village in 2022. Research Methods : Case control research with a quantitative approach. A sample of 82 mothers with toddlers in November 2022. The sampling technique used is non-probability sampling with purposive sampling method. Results of the study : Poor parenting styles were more common in cases of stunting, with 31 people (75.6%) than good parenting styles for stunted toddlers, with 10 people (24.4%). In the chy-square test, the results of parenting variables for mothers' knowledge were lacking P value 0.008 <0.05, Not exclusive breastfeeding P value 0.03 <0.05, not MP-ASI P value 0.055 <0.05 , and care for sick children who lack P value 0.012 <0.05, so the analysis is that there is a relationship between parenting parents and stunting in toddlers aged 12-59 months in Pasirhaur Village in 2022. Conclusion : Good parenting can reduce the risk of stunting in toddlers and it is hoped that health workers, especially midwives

Prolonged delivery is a contributing factor to the mortality rate of mothers with a prevalence of 20% in Demak regency. Based on the survey in First Clinic Irma Solikin, Mranggen district, Demak regency, the birth data in January 2022 showed that 40% of mothers of 15 mothers experienced prolonged partity. One of the physiological efforts to prevent prolonged delivery is promoting pelvic rocking with a birthing ball. This technique requires the mothers to sit on the ball and rock the ball. This action makes the mothers feel comfortable and help them to promote the delivery due to the influence of gravity force. Thus, the fetus or the lower part of the fetus could move to the pelvis and shorten the delivery time. This research determined the influence of pelvic rocking exercise with a birthing ball on the delivery advancement of primipara mothers. The sample consisted of 20 mothers in the intervention group with pelvic rocking intervention with a birthing ball. Then, the other 20 mothers in the control group received normal delivery. The applied instruments were an observation sheet and a partograph. The researchers analyzed the data with univariate and bivariate analyses. The results found the influence of pelvic rocking exercise with birthing ball technique toward the delivery progress of primipara mothers in the First Clinic, Irma Solikin, Mranggen district, Demak regency.   Keywords: Pelvic Rocking, Birthing ball, Delivery progress, Primipara mothers

Amyloidosis is a term for various groups of diseases with lots of amyloid protein in organs and/or tissues, causing disease. In this condition, amyloid protein is deposited in the dermis layer of the skin which is called lichen amyloidosis. Lichen amyloidosis is the most common type of cutaneous amyloidosis. The prevalence of cutaneous amyloidosis is relatively rare, only 0.2-0.3%. It is chronic in nature which usually appears later in life. This article discusses a case of a 39-year-old female patient who came with complaints of spots on both sides accompanied by itching. These complaints have been experienced since ± 2 years ago and are felt to be getting worse in the last few months. Previously the patient had used a type of topical medication obtained from the local puskesmas, but there was no improvement. Examination of the general status found the general condition of the patient looked moderately ill, conscious awareness, vital signs within normal limits. Dermatological status obtained efflorescence in the form of macules to multiple papules with hyperpigmentation, well defined, discrete available, accompanied by scaling and lichenification. Patients were treated with oral corticosteroids (methylprednisolone), topical corticosteroids (desoximethasone) and salicylic acid. Patients are also educated to avoid scratching and rubbing on the lesions. The patient showed thinning lesions after 7 days of therapy.

Background: According to WHO data, in Southeast Asia in 2015 the HIV rate reached 5.1 million patients with 77,000 pregnant women living with HIV, and 19,000 new cases of pediatric HIV infection have been found. This is a number that can be considered fantastic compared to other regions. Meanwhile for syphilis, the incidence rate has shown an increase of 0.32% in the Southeast Asian region. The number of patients shows up to 167,000 cases of syphilis in pregnant women. It had a disastrous impact by producing 65,800 adverse outcomes including early fetal death. For Hepatitis B, Southeast Asia bears 15% of the total number of Hepatitis B patients worldwide with a total of 39 million people. Prevention activities have been carried out by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia by holding a program called Triple Elimination in accordance with WHO recommendations (2017). The activity was in the form of carrying out tests for HIV, Hepatitis B and Syphilis (triple Elimination) during Antenatal Care (ANC) for Pregnant. Research Objectives: to find out the factors that influence the triple elimination examination in pregnant women at the Sarageni Health Center, Lebak Regency in 2022. Research Methods: quantitative with cross sectional research design. The sample in this study was 65 pregnant women in the Sarageni Health Center area in November 2022 (Purposive Sampling). Data were collected using a questionnaire given to respondents then processed and analyzed univariate and bivariate and tested with the Chi Square test. The results of the study: the prevalence that affects the compliance of pregnant women Age p-value 0.006 <0.05 Education p-value 0.000 <0.05 Socio-economic p-value 1.000 >0.05 and Husband support p-value 0.000 <0.05.
