The maternal mortality rate of post-SC infection reaches 7.3%, and 90% causes postpartum morbidity. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with the SC wound healing process. This study used a quantitative method, a type of analytic survey research with a cross-sectional design approach. The population of this study were all post-SC mothers in the postpartum ward of Permata Medika Hospital. The sampling technique used was a consecutive sampling of 34 respondents. The research instrument was a questionnaire. Data analysis was done using univariate and bivariate (chi-square test, alpha = 0.05). The results of this study showed that there was a relationship between the SC wound healing process and early mobilisation (p-value 0.000 < 0.05), which means there was a relationship between the SC wound healing process and nutritional status (BMI) (p-value 0.04 < 0.05), and there was a relationship between the SC wound healing process and anaemia (p-value = 0.00 <0.05) because if p-value <  0.05, then Ha is accepted. Ho is rejected, meaning a significant relationship exists between early mobilisation, nutritional status, and anaemia in SC wound healing. Many factors affect the SC wound healing process, three of which are early mobilisation factors, which, if done before 6–8 hours after SC, has more potential to accelerate SC wound healing; normal nutritional status as an expression of a person's nutritional balance, which plays a role in the process of body tissue growth and has an impact on the duration of wound healing; and anaemia, which anaemia is a symptom of low haemoglobin levels in the blood and obstructs oxygen flow and prevents the growth and repair of tissue from the SC surgical incision.

The prevalence of nutritional status among children aged 5-12 in the Gorontalo Province based on BMI-for-age indicates that 2.70% are severely underweight, 8.45% are underweight, 8.93% are overweight, and 6.26% are obese. The shift from the previous 'four healthy five perfect' nutrition reference to balanced nutrition guidelines is not yet fully understood and known by all layers of society, including within school environments.

For the Indonesian people, rice is life. Rice is a staple food source for the majority of Indonesia's population. Based on the method of processing, several types of rice are known, including crushed rice, polished rice, milled rice, broken skin rice, head rice, instant rice, and parboiled rice. Rice quality includes market quality, physical quality, milled quality, cooking quality and nutritional quality. Until now, nutritional quality is still neglected. This is partly because the government is still focusing on efforts to increase rice production to meet the needs of the population. After rice self-sufficiency was achieved, driven by economic improvements and technological advances, the nutritional quality of rice began to receive attention. The success of economic development has brought consumers to a status that allows demands for higher quality rice to emerge.

The toddler period is a golden period that determines the rate of growth and development of toddlers both physically, mentally and emotionally. Assessment of nutritional status Assessment of nutritional status of toddlers using standard and measurable parameters can be used as a monitoring item for nutritional problems in toddlers. This study aims to describe the findings based on research data conducted in 2021 on 96 toddlers in the working area of the Ranomuut Public Health Center, Manado City, North Sulawesi Province. Primary anthropometric and age data were collected on toddlers 6-24 months and obtained data that 26% of toddlers have nutritional status in the poor category (<2SD) and 74% of them have nutritional status in the good category (? -2 SD to +2SD). Even though there is no urgency found in the results of this study, the conclusions of the research need to be published, and it is hoped that this can be used as a reference for future research.  

Health problems that generally occur in adolescents are excess and underweight, where the nutritional status figures do not reach normal according to standards. As for these problems, the causative factors are identified, such as food consumption and physical activity factors. From the available data, there is still little research devoted to adolescents who have special conditions (disabilities). This study aims to determine the relationship between food consumption and physical activity with the nutritional status of adolescents, so that it can be ascertained that the most important factors for normal nutritional status are achieved. This research is a type of correlational quantitative research and was carried out at the Galuh Handayani Inclusive High School, Surabaya. The research subjects were adolescents with various disabilities, totaling 17 students. The independent variables in the study were food consumption and physical activity, while the dependent variable was nutritional status. The instruments used include 2 x 24 Food Recall and Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents. To determine the relationship between variables, then analyzed using Spearman's rank correlation. The results of the analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between food consumption (P = 0.025) and nutritional status and the correlation coefficient value was 0.540 which resulted in a strong correlation, but there was no significant relationship between Physical Activity (P = 0.133) and the nutritional status of adolescents at Galuh Handayani Inclusive High School Surabaya with a correlation coefficient value of 0.380 which means that the correlation is sufficient.There is a significant relationship between food consumption and nutritional status, but there is no significant relationship between physical activity and the nutritional status of adolescents at Galuh Handayani Inclusive High School, Surabaya

In human life, adolescence is a very important period. During this period, the initial process of maturation of the reproductive organs occurs. In this phase, adolescents will experience physical growth accompanied by mental, cognitive and psychological development. Lack of adequate nutrition during this period can cause disruption and obstacles in adolescent growth. One program that can be carried out to achieve and maintain normal nutritional status in adolescents is by implementing a balanced nutritional intake. This community service activity is carried out using nutrition education methods for teenagers. Through this service activity, it is hoped that there will be an increase in knowledge among teenagers regarding the importance of implementing a balanced nutritional intake for teenagers, which in turn is hoped that teenagers will be able to achieve and maintain normal nutritional status. This activity was attended by 23 teenagers in the working area of ​​the Somba Opu Health Center, Gowa Regency. The knowledge score results show that before being given counseling about balanced nutrition, the average knowledge score for teenagers was in the medium category, namely 60,8%. After following the counseling regarding balanced nutrition and carrying out a posttest, the results showed that the teenagers' knowledge scores increased to an average of 65,22% in the high category. This shows that there is an increase in knowledge among teenagers regarding balanced nutrition after attending this counseling.
