Stunting is a health problem that is still a concern in Indonesia, including in Panton Village, Nisam District, North Aceh. This village has a fairly high stunting rate, influenced by various factors such as exclusive breastfeeding, maternal knowledge, and family support. This study aims to analyze the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding, maternal knowledge, and family support on the incidence of stunting in Panton Village. The study used an observational analytical design with a cross-sectional approach and involved 30 respondents selected by purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using the chi-square test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting (p = 0.003). In addition, maternal knowledge was also related to the incidence of stunting (p = 0.005). Family support also had a significant relationship to the incidence of stunting (p = 0.001). In conclusion, exclusive breastfeeding, maternal knowledge, and family support play an important role in preventing stunting. Therefore, it is suggested to health workers, especially the health promotion and nutrition division, to improve education for mothers and families regarding the importance of exclusive breastfeeding, balanced nutrition, and parenting patterns that support optimal child growth.

Background: The frequency of hypertension continues to increase in line with the low compliance of hypertension sufferers in carrying out their treatment, one of which is a hypertension diet. Family support plays a crucial role in increasing self-confidence, motivation, and life satisfaction of hypertension sufferers. Family involvement in health education programs helps patients with their needs met, understanding when to seek medical help, and support for treatment compliance, which can prevent recurrence and serious complications due to hypertension. In addition, compliance with a hypertension diet is very important to keep blood pressure stable. A good understanding of the benefits of diet and the role of family and health workers in providing support can increase diet compliance. Conversely, low understanding can reduce awareness of the importance of diet, potentially causing ongoing complications. Therefore, hypertension management strategies must involve family support and education about the right diet to achieve optimal health outcomes. This study was conducted to analyze the Relationship Between Family Support and Diet Compliance in the Elderly in Controlling Hypertension at the Kedungmundu Health Center. Methods: This study uses a quantitative method with a correlational approach. Data were collected through demographic questionnaires, family support, and hypertension diet compliance, with a study sample consisting of 90 people using random sampling techniques. Somers' D test was chosen as the statistical analysis method for this research data. Results: Based on the study, it was found that some respondents received quite good family support, with a total of 57 people (63.3%) and were quite compliant with dietary compliance as many as 57 people (63.3%). The results of the Somers' D test showed that the significance value of p = 0.000 <α (0.05), so H0 was rejected. Conclusion: Based on the data analysis, the conclusion obtained is that there is a relationship between family support and dietary compliance in the elderly in controlling hypertension at the Kedungmundu Health Center, Semarang City.

Adolescents are an age group that is vulnerable to various health problems, including a lack of understanding about reproductive health and the dangers of narcotics (narcotics, psychotropics, and addictive substances). Lack of education in these two aspects can lead to risky behavior, such as premarital sex, unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and drug abuse which have negative impacts on physical, mental, and social health. This community service activity aims to provide education about reproductive health and the dangers of drugs to adolescents in RW 01 Sukaraja Village, Bogor Regency as a preventive measure in building awareness and healthy living behavior in adolescents. The method used in this program is an educational approach through interactive discussions, and counseling based on visual and digital media delivered to adolescent groups in schools and communities. Evaluation was carried out by comparing the level of understanding of participants before and after the activity through pre-test and post-test questionnaires. The evaluation results showed a significant increase in participants' understanding of the importance of maintaining reproductive health and avoiding drug abuse. In addition, participants showed high enthusiasm in the discussion and expressed readiness to apply the knowledge gained in everyday life. In conclusion, education on reproductive health and the dangers of narcotics is very important in forming healthy mindsets and behaviors among adolescents, especially adolescents in RW 01 Sukaraja Village, Bogor Regency. The sustainability of this education program needs to be supported by synergy between educators, health workers, parents, and the community so that the information provided can continue to be updated and implemented effectively

This study aims to examine the effect of education on the adherence of adolescent girls to iron supplementation tablets (IST). Anemia in adolescent girls is a significant health problem, influenced by iron loss during menstruation and increased iron requirements during growth. Low adherence to IST consumption is caused by various factors, including unpleasant side effects after consuming IST, the perception of being healthy and not needing medication, and a lack of knowledge about the dangers of iron deficiency anemia in adolescence. The method used is a narrative review, with research journal sources related to the adherence of adolescent girls in consuming IST. These research journals were obtained from Google Scholar and selected those published in the last five years (2019-2023). The review results indicate the importance of education in increasing adherence to IST consumption. Audiovisual methods, such as videos and YouTube, have proven effective. Additionally, support from health workers and pharmacists is crucial in increasing the adherence of adolescent girls to IST consumption. It is concluded that innovative education and good support are essential in increasing the adherence of adolescent girls to IST consumption.

Diarrhea can be defined as a condition in which a person defecates with more liquid feces than usual and with a frequency of three or more times in 24 hours. Diarrhea is closely related to the occurrence of stunting cases. Diarrhea generally attacks toddlers because their immune systems are still weak and vulnerable. WHO and UNICEF policies in the treatment of diarrhea are the provision of oralit and zinc, based on research over 20 years. Iron plays a role in various physiological processes of the body, one of which is the immune system. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between hemoglobin levels and compliance with zinc intake with the incidence of recurrent diarrhea in toddlers at the Jaury Jusuf Putera Makassar Academic Hospital. The research design used was a non-experimental analytical cross-sectional study, namely a study conducted observationally to see the relationship between hemoglobin levels and compliance with zinc intake with the incidence of recurrent diarrhea, without providing treatment to the research subjects. The sample in the study was toddlers who experienced recurrent diarrhea at the Jaury Jusuf Putera Makassar Academic Hospital in March - May 2024 as many as 32 people. The results of the study showed that there was a relationship between hemoglobin levels and the incidence of recurrent diarrhea (p = 0.015). And there was a relationship between compliance with zinc consumption and the incidence of recurrent diarrhea (p = 0.004). It is recommended that health workers provide more education and control over the use of zinc drugs given in the management of diarrhea, as well as educate to maintain normal hemoglobin levels in toddlers. So that it can reduce the prevalence of recurrent diarrhea.

The results of the study show the legal basis for considering the regulation of fine sanctions in Kupang Mayor Regulation Number 7 of 2013 concerning the health of mothers, infants and children under five, because there are still incidents of childbirth outside health facilities in the working area of the Bakunase Health Center which can be at risk of maternal and infant mortality rates. This happens because there are still pregnant women who give birth at home because of impromptu childbirth so that childbirth does not occur in health facilities but outside health facilities or at home and childbirth is still helped by birth attendants. The risk of maternal and infant mortality can still occur. The effectiveness of the enforcement of Kupang Mayor Regulation Number 7 of 2013 concerning the Health of Mothers, Infants and Children Under Five through the regulation of fine sanctions in the working area of the Bakunase Health Center has been effective for health workers. For the public, there are still many who do not know about the Regulation of the Mayor of Kupang Number 7 of 2013 concerning the Health of Mothers, Babies and Children under five so that there are still incidents of childbirth outside health facilities and childbirth assisted by shamans. Knowledge about childbirth, attitudes and family support in this study also has an important role in determining mothers to have a safe delivery. It is suggested that new regional regulations need to be socialized to the community so that existing regulations can run effectively. An obedient society is also a basic thing so that regulations can run effectively.

Anemia in pregnant women is a health problem that is often faced in Indonesia. Anemia requires special attention because it can have a significant impact on maternal and neonatal health. Based on data for May 2024 at the Bumisari Village posyandu, there were 67 pregnant women and 46.2% of them had anemia. An effort to increase hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with anemia is by giving them dates which contain high levels of iron. The aim of the research is to determine the effect of giving dates to increase hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with anemia in Bumisari Natar Village in 2024. Quantitative research type, pre-experimental research method with a one group pretest-posttest design approach. The population is all 67 pregnant women recorded in May 2024 with a sample of 31 respondents. 7 dates were given per day for 7 consecutive days. Data collection used observation sheets, univariate and bivariate data analysis (t-test). Based on the research results, it is known that the average hemoglobin level of pregnant women with anemia before consuming dates is 9,652 gr/dl, while the average hemoglobin level of pregnant women with anemia after consuming dates is 11,545 gr/dl. There was an effect of giving dates to increase hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with anemia in Bumisari Natar Village in 2024 (p-value 0.001) with a difference in increase in hemoglobin levels of 1,893 gr/dl.

Changes in the health insurance system in Indonesia continue to evolve, one of which is implementing the Standard Inpatient Class (KRIS) policy as a replacement for the BPJS Health class system based on Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 59 of 2024. This policy is designed to unify healthcare classes to reduce disparities in healthcare access and quality in Indonesia. However, its implementation is faced with key challenges, including hospital infrastructure readiness, limited human resources, and criticism from various parties, including patients and healthcare providers. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods to review various policy documents, relevant literature, and legal and social perspectives related to policy implementation. The results show that although KRIS has the potential to reduce disparities in access to health services, its implementation requires more attention to the readiness of health facilities, strengthening management systems, and budget adjustments to support optimal operations. Furthermore, this policy requires the active involvement of the community and health workers in the evaluation and decision-making process so that the policy is more responsive to the real needs in the field. The theoretical approaches used, such as public policy theory and progressive law, highlight the importance of cooperation between the government, healthcare providers, and communities to ensure effective and equitable implementation of KRIS. This research suggests improving hospital infrastructure, continuous training for health workers, and strengthening a transparent monitoring system to ensure the success of this policy. This research is expected to make a positive contribution to the formulation of health policies that are more inclusive and sustainable and can serve as a reference in efforts to realize a more equitable and fair health service system for all Indonesians.

Upper Arm Circumference (LILA) is one of the indicators used in Indonesia to assess the risk of Chronic Energy Deficiency (KEK) in pregnant women and adult women. Chronic lack of energy for a long time causes the immune system to decrease so that the body is susceptible to infectious diseases, the decreased ability to concentrate which occurs is related to a decrease in iron stores. Upper Arm Circumference (LILA) measurement aims to analyze the relationship between Upper Arm Circumference (LILA) and the incidence of Chronic Energy Deficiency (KEK) in students at the Faculty of Public Health, Halu Oleo University. The method used is data analysis, involving measuring LILA and collecting data regarding nutritional status and factors that have the potential to influence KEK. The results of the analysis show that there is a significant relationship between LILA size and the incidence of CED. Of the 50 respondents studied, 52% experienced CED with a LILA size of less than 23.5 cm, which indicates the existence of serious nutritional problems among this population. It is hoped that this research will provide useful information for universities and health workers in efforts to prevent and treat nutritional problems among students.  

Midwives are one of the health workers in reducing maternal and infant mortality rates by providing continuous midwifery services, promotion through partnerships and empowering communities with other health workers.
