Household Food Insecurity and Its Association with Nutritional Status of Children 6–59 Months of Age in Kebridehar City

Malnutrition, characterized by an imbalance in the intake of calories, proteins, or other nutrients, includes undernutrition and overnutrition. This study aimed to assess the impact of household food insecurity on the nutritional status of children aged 6 to 59 months in Kebridehar town using a community-based cross-sectional approach. The city of Kebridehar was divided into 12 kebeles and the study targeted families with children in the specified age group. A proportional sample of 344 households was randomly selected from each kebele. Data were collected through surveys and analyzed to determine the prevalence of food insecurity and its effects on children's nutrition.Results: The study revealed significant disparities in food security: 11.6% of households were food secure, while 88.4% were food insecure. Female-headed homes had a lower percentage of impoverished children and the mother's education had a vital influence. Low- and middle-income households had a larger risk of childhood loss than higher-income ones. Smaller families were 15.76 times more likely to suffer food insecurity and homes without health services were 3.27 times higher potential to be food insecure. Children from insecure food families have poorer health outcomes, being 4.95 times more likely to be underweight, 1.30 times more likely to be stunted, and 1.45 times more likely to be wasted.Conclusion: The study highlights an important problem of food insecurity that affects the health of children. Factors such as the woman's family, the mother's education level, low income and family size are crucial. Urgent interventions are necessary to improve food security and nutritional outcomes, especially for families with low income, less education, and poor sanitation.

How Family Structure Can Influence Adolescents’ Eating Habits: An Italian Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children (HBSC) 2022 Sample

Background/Objectives: Adolescence is an important period of psychophysical development. In this phase of life people acquire greater self-awareness and adopt behaviors that will later shape their lifestyle in adulthood. This study aimed to assess whether family structure can influence adolescents’ eating habits. Methods: Data were acquired from a survey titled ‘Italian Health Behaviour in School-aged Children’ (HBSC) given to a representative sample of Tuscan adolescents aged 11, 13, 15 and 17 years of age. Participants (3210) filled out a validated questionnaire answering questions about their eating habits and family structure. After adjusting for covariates, some interesting trends were highlighted in the survey results. Results: Adolescents living in single-mother families reported a lower intake of fruits (OR 0.68, 95% CI = 0.55–0.83) and vegetables (OR 0.66, 95% CI = 0.53–0.81) and a higher intake of sugar-added soft drinks (OR 1.33, 95% CI = 1.08–1.64). Living in a mother and stepfather family was associated with a higher intake of sugar-added soft drinks (OR 1.53, 95% CI = 1.02–2.28), whereas living in a father and stepmother family was associated only with a lower intake of fruits (OR 0.48, 95% CI = 0.26–0.87). Participants living with other family types reported a lower intake of vegetables (OR 0.68, 95% CI = 0.47–0.98). Conclusions: The results of this study show a correlation between family structure and adolescents’ eating habits.

Association of nurse–mother partnerships with parenting stress and family resilience among South Korean mothers of children with congenital heart disease

PurposeAdvances in the management of congenital heart disease (CHD) have significantly decreased mortality rates, indicating a need for continuous care as a chronic condition throughout the child's lifespan. This study examined the association of nurse–mother partnerships with parenting stress and family resilience among South Korean mothers of children with CHD. Design and methodsThis descriptive study involved 93 mothers of children aged six years or younger with CHD admitted to a hospital. Data were collected from September to November 2020 and analyzed using SPSS/WIN (version 29.0) for t-tests, analyses of variance, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analyses. ResultsThe means and standard deviations of the nurse–mother partnership, parenting stress, and family resilience were 4.13 ± 0.47, 76.98 ± 16.6, and 56.54 ± 7.86 points, respectively. Parenting stress increased as the number of hospitalizations and surgeries increased and with complex types of CHD. Nurse–mother partnerships were stronger with longer hospital stays. Family resilience was higher with younger children, fewer rehospitalizations, and shorter hospital stays. A positive correlation was found between nurse–mother partnerships and family resilience, and a negative correlation between parenting stress and family resilience. Factors influencing parenting stress included family resilience, rehospitalizations, and complex types of CHD, and those affecting family resilience were nurse–mother partnerships, parenting stress, and the child's age. ConclusionNurse–mother partnerships significantly affect family resilience. Practical implicationsEnhancing nurse–mother partnerships can improve family resilience, which in turn can reduce parenting stress, thus offering guidance for future nursing interventions.

Prevalence of postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder and associated factors among postnatal mothers in West Arsi zone, South West Ethiopia, 2024: a community-based cross-sectional study.

Up to one-third of women globally experience giving birth as traumatic, which can lead to postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder. Postpartum post-traumatic stress disorders have significant health consequences for the mother, child, and other family members. Although it has tragic health impacts, little is known about this problem in the study area. The study aimed to assess the prevalence of postpartum posttraumatic stress disorder and associated factors among postnatal mothers. A community-based cross-sectional study was employed among 635 mothers in the first year after childbirth by using simple random sampling techniques from March 20 to April 20, 2024 in West Arsi zone, Ethiopia. Face-to-face interviewers administered structured questionnaires that were used to collect the data. The collected data were cleaned, coded, and entered into Epidata and exported to Statistical Package for Social Sciences for further analysis. Both bivariate and multivariable analyses were done by using binary logistic regression. Out of 635, 624 postnatal mothers participated in the study, for a response rate of 98.27%. The prevalence of postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder was 21.60% (95% CI: 18.40%, 24.87%). Primiparous mothers (AOR = 2.26, 95% CI: 1.38, 3.70), have no antenatal care follow-up (AOR = 2.48, 95% CI: 1.47, 4.20), cesarean section delivery (AOR = 2.86, 95% CI: 1.50, 5.61), instrumental delivery (AOR = 3.06, 95% CI: 1.75, 5.34), maternal morbidity (AOR = 2.94, 95% CI: 1.71, 5.05), and postpartum intimate partner violence (AOR = 7.43, 95% CI: 4.53, 12.20) were the identified factors. As identified, one out of five mothers had postpartum posttraumatic stress disorder. Thus, healthcare providers should focus on identified factors like cesarean section and instrumental deliveries while counseling, as this enhances the mothers' psychological readiness. In addition, the West Arsi Zonal Health Office should develop effective strategies to alleviate the problem by focusing on the identified factors.

NICU Music Therapy: Lessons Learned from a Randomized Trial

Abstract Mothers of infants hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are at risk for developing acute and posttraumatic stress disorder, but mothers’ positive coping may improve with progress in the infant’s well-being. There is a need to investigate complementary therapies that increase infant well-being and decrease maternal stress. A pacifier-activated lullaby (PAL) device is one evidence-based intervention to assist premature infants by playing a few bars of a lullaby after an effective suck, improving feeding behavior and shortening the length of NICU stay. The PAL may be personalized with lullabies sung and recorded by the neonate’s mother or other family. This study’s purpose was to quantify the effect of a PAL intervention on maternal stress symptoms. The experimental PAL intervention included a singing and recording session with a board-certified music therapist with NICU certification. This was a single-site randomized trial comparing the effect of maternal voice recording versus standard conditions. A total of 245 infant–mother dyads were screened; 18 mothers consented to participate and 12 were randomized to one of three conditions: mother’s recorded lullaby for PAL administration, a generic female voice used for the PAL, and no intervention. Barriers arising during the study included lengthy enrollment processes, maternal visitation patterns, and an overly ambitious study design. Despite attempts to mitigate perceived barriers, we did not achieve the enrollment necessary to perform the intended analysis. We, therefore, present lessons learned and possible solutions for future music therapy research in the interest of transparency, reducing publication bias, and replication of problematic design issues in future trials.

Dietary pattern and menstrual disorders among female university students.

Assessment of the relationship between dietary patterns and menstrual disorders among female medical and paramedical students at Beni-Suef University, Egypt. Beni-Suef University conducted a cross-sectional analytical questionnaire-based study. Three hundred fifty two female medical and paramedical students agreed to participate in the study. The collected data about demographics, physical activity, menstrual history, and dietary assessment were transferred to SPSS version 26 for statistical analysis. A p value≤0.05 was considered statistically significant. The prevalence of irregular cycles, heavy blood flow, severe dysmenorrhea, and premenstrual syndrome (PMS) was found to be (21.9 %), (13.1 %), (35.5 %), and (68.9 %), respectively. Poor adherence to the Mediterranean diet (40.1 %) and physical activity (69.9 %) was present. Females with irregular cycles (p=0.472), heavy menstrual blood flow (p=0.007), and severe dysmenorrhea (p=0.029) reported lower adherence to the Mediterranean diet. Mothers' educational level (p=0.034), family income (p=0.005), and family size (p=0.009) were significantly associated with dietary adherence. Poor adherence to regular physical activity and the Mediterranean diet is highly prevalent in our research and is highly associated with menstruation disorders. So, it is critical to support health education programs emphasizing healthy dietary habits and regular physical activity to improve menstrual health and women's quality of life.

Results: The study found out that the challenges the teenage mothers experienced were both from home and the school environment which contributed to their academic performance. The teenage mothers found support from teachers while in school upon being admitted. Conclusion: Parents, schools and even other stakeholders should work in unity to ensure that the teenage mother do not go through challenges that can contribute to poor academic performance.

Identification of novel CDH23 variants linked to hearing loss in a Chinese family: A case report.

Deafness is associated with both environmental and genetic factors, with hereditary deafness often caused by mutations in deafness-related genes. Identifying and analyzing deafness-related genes will aid in early diagnosis and pave the way for treating inherited deafness through gene therapy in the future. A 15-month-old girl underwent audiological examination at the outpatient clinic of the hospital due to hearing loss and her brother was diagnosed with profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss at the age of 3. The diagnosis was determined as extremely severe sensorineural hearing loss caused by genetic factors. Clinical data of the patient were collected, and peripheral blood samples were obtained from both the patient and her family members for DNA extraction and sequencing. By utilizing targeted capture next-generation sequencing to further screen for deafness-related genes, 2 novel variants in CDH23 were identified as the causative factors for the patient's deafness. This study identified 2 novel heterozygous mutations in a Chinese family. Both the proband and her sibling have non-syndromic hearing loss (NSHL) and carry distinct heterozygous mutations of cadherin-like 23 (CDH23). One mutation, CDH23:c.2651 A>G, originated from their mother and paternal family, affecting the exon23 domain of CDH23. The other mutation, CDH23:c.2113 G>T, was inherited from their paternal grandmother, impacting the exon19 domain of CDH23. These 2 novel mutations likely cause NSHL by affecting protein function. This finding suggests that identifying 2 novel mutations in CDH23 contributes to the genetic basis of NSHL.

Parental decision-making in taking care of child health in Indonesia: Findings from a national survey

Background: The decision-making process to search for child health services involves interaction among the mother, partner, and other family members. Parental decision-making is highly complex since it involves an emotional consideration between the benefit and the child's future. The common problem in deciding the service is the lack of capabilities, such as facility, knowledge, and skill.Objective: The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of socio-demographic factors on parents' decision-making in obtaining health services for their children Methods: This study design was cross-sectional data from the Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) of 2017, which was applied in this study. The respondents involved were 8,838 women aged 15-49 who had given birth in the last five years. This study employed descriptive, chi-square, and regression statistics analysis. The results were provided as adjusted odds ratios (AORs) with 95 percent confidence intervals. The statistical analysis utilized SPSS version 21.0 software (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).Results: Bivariate analysis revealed a significant relationship between decision-making and age, living place, educational background, and wealth index (p-values 0.030, <0.001, 0.002, and 0.006), but not with health insurance ownership (p=0.242). After multivariate analysis, only age-related decisions were associated with a significant risk. It explained that younger group (15-29) has a 0.325 times chance of making a joint decision than the 40 to 49-year-old group (AOR: 0.325; 95%CI: 0.144-0.733). Conclusion: Parental decision-making regarding childcare is related to several factors, namely age, living place, educational background, and socioeconomic status. Health education is a strategy to promote child health in Indonesia by facilitating proper decision-making.

Status anak diluar nikah komparasi hukum islam dan hukum positif

One of the legal consequences of the status of a child out of wedlock is the status (position) of the child out of wedlock. In Indonesian legislation, there are several laws that explain the status of children out of wedlock, although there are differences in the law and status of these children between these laws. In Islamic law, children out of wedlock have a different position from legitimate children, biological children, adopted children, and children resulting from adultery. The existence of this position affects in determining guardianship, nasab, inheritance and hadhanah. This research uses a normative study approach, namely comparing the status of adopted children according to Islamic law and positive law. This research is a type of Library Research (literature), the author will present library data in the form of books, journals, research reports, papers and other library materials that are accurate to the object of the subject matter. Based on the results of the research conducted, it can be concluded that, the status of children outside of marriage based on Islamic law is not the same as biological children, and legal children in Islamic law the status of children outside of marriage in terms of nasab, remains with the mother and her mother's family. According to positive law, Constitutional Court Decision Number 46/PUU-VIII/2010 stipulates that the status of children out of wedlock can only be related to the mother and her family, unless there is recognition from a biological father who can be proven scientifically and technologically. This is different from Constitutional Court Decision Number 43/PUU-VIII/2010 which regulates other aspects of children's rights. This is because the status of extramarital children is only dinasabkan to the mother and the mother's family, so directly from the Constitutional Court's decision stipulates that the position or nasab of extramarital children (either due to adultery or nikah sirri) is to their biological father who can be proven by science and technology.

Study on Nutritional Status of the Adolescent Relationship with their Socio-Economic Status in Bagha, Rajshahi

Background: Adolescents' nutritional status is crucial to their overall health and development. Various socio-economic factors play significant roles in influencing this status, especially in rural areas. Objective: The study aimed to identify the factors contributing to adolescents' nutritional status and to examine the relationship between these factors and the adolescents' socio-economic characteristics in Bagha, Rajshahi. Method: Data were collected from 250 adolescents using structured interview schedules. Key variables studied included the adolescents' education, mothers' education, family income, food intake, and nutritional knowledge. Correlation and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the associations between these variables and the adolescents' BMI and nutritional status. Result: The study revealed that adolescents' BMI had significant positive correlations with their education, mothers' education, family income, food intake, and nutritional knowledge. An inverse correlation was found between nutritional status and disease information. Other factors, such as gender, religion, family size, fathers' education, and hygiene practices, showed positive but non-significant associations. Negative, non-significant correlations were observed with age, physical activity, transportation, leisure activities, and participation in nutrition programs. A substantial majority (89.6%) of respondents were inactive in calorie intake, with only 2.4% being active. Most adolescents (79.6%) were underweight, while 20% had normal weight. Most mothers (63.3%) and fathers (55%) had primary-level education. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that annual family income, food intake, and nutritional awareness were positively correlated with nutritional status, whereas disease information had a significant negative correlation. Conclusions: The findings highlight the critical impact of socio-economic factors on adolescents' nutritional status. .......

P-496 Being a solo mother: an exploration of parenting experiences and support needs of women who intentionally choose to become mothers without a partner

Abstract Study question What support sources do solo mothers in the UK use, how supported do they feel and what areas are lacking? Summary answer Most solo mothers feel supported by family, friends and paid childcare and are confident in their parenting despite finding it difficult to ask for help. What is known already An increasingly common family type, often referred to as ‘solo mothers,’ ‘single mothers by choice’ or ‘choice mothers’, is defined by women who intentionally choose to become mothers without the involvement of a partner. Solo mothers are a relatively homogenous group, who are generally well-educated, employed in professional careers, and financially stable, with most becoming mothers in their mid-thirties/forties. Although solo mothers are frequently described as self-determined and motivated individuals with a strong preparedness for parenting that encompasses both economic and social resources, there is a notable absence of research on their specific parenting experiences and support needs. Study design, size, duration A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online survey. The questionnaire was distributed via solo mother-specific Facebook groups and through newsletters, emails and social media of the Donor Conception Network (DCN). A total of 139 participants responded between July 2021 and February 2022. Participants/materials, setting, methods Most participants were aged 36-45 (53%, 74), had one child (73%, 102) under the age of 11 (88%, 140). Almost all solo mothers had used donated sperm from an unknown donor through a clinic or sperm bank (95%, 132) and around a fifth used donated eggs (22%, 31). All quantitative data was treated as non-parametric and were analysed using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s Rho Correlation tests. Open-ended questionnaire responses were analysed using qualitative content analysis. Main results and the role of chance The most commonly used sources of support for solo mothers in the UK were family members (89%, 123) and non-solo mother friends (80%, 110). Paid childcare was used by 71% (98) of participants with solo mothers using it at least a few times per week. Facebook, particularly solo mum-specific groups, and resources from the Donor Conception Network (DCN, a support organisation for families formed using donor conception) were used by nearly three quarters of respondents (70%, 94 and 71%, 98, respectively). The majority of participants felt supported (78%, 108) but around a quarter (23%, 25) mentioned the need for financial support and the difficulties of relying on a single salary and having to pay for costly childcare. Most solo mums felt confident in their parenting (87%, 122) but found it difficult to ask for help from others (56%, 77). Barriers to asking for help included challenges to autonomy and self-identity, inability to recognise the need for support, fear and apprehension with others, and the emotional aspect of asking for support. There were positive correlations between feeling supported and confidence in parenting (ρ = 0.405, p <.001) and feeling supported and ease in asking for help (ρ = 0.458, p <.001). Limitations, reasons for caution The use of solo mother-specific Facebook groups and DCN resources to recruit solo mothers may have introduced some bias in the sampling methods which may have led to our participants not being more broadly representative of UK solo mothers. Wider implications of the findings Whilst solo mothers may typically be highly educated and financially stable, this is not always the case. Some face challenges in accessing and paying for practical and emotional support. Future research should address provision of better support, given the increasing numbers of solo mother families in the UK and elsewhere. Trial registration number not applicable

Empowering Health Cadres Through Oxytocin Massage Training Activities as an Effort to Increase Milk Production

Breast milk is the best source of nutrition for babies, providing nutrients, growth factors and antibodies in sufficient quantities for baby nutrition. However, the lack of breast milk is one of the causes of not achieving exclusive breastfeeding coverage in several areas. One effort that can be made to increase breast milk production is through oxytocin massage. Oxytocin massage is a massage carried out along the spine (vertebrae) to the fifth-sixth ribs. This massage is done to stimulate the oxytocin reflex or breast milk reflex. Mothers who receive this oxytocin massage will feel more relaxed. The method used in this community service activity is through providing materials and training on oxytocin massage to 30 cadres in the Pegerngumbuk Village area, Wonoayu District, Sidoarjo Regency. The results obtained from this activity were an increase in cadres' knowledge about oxytocin massage and almost all cadres were able to do oxytocin massage. So that after this training activity cadres can apply oxytocin massage periodically to breastfeeding mothers in their area and teach these skills to the families of breastfeeding mothers.

유아 자녀를 둔 어머니 우울에 관한 연구 동향

This study analyzed 102 papers published in domestic journals from 2009 to 2022 according to the year, research type and data analysis method, research subject, and research subject to understand domestic research trends related to depression of mothers with infant children. The analysis results show that first, more than three papers related to mother depression with infant children were published steadily every year between 2009 and 2022, and 54 papers (53%) were published between 2015 and 2018, and more studies were conducted than in other periods. Second, in terms of research type and data analysis method, quantitative research accounted for the highest proportion with 91 articles (89.2%), and major data analysis methods were structural equation models and regression analysis methods, 7 qualitative studies (6.9%), and 4 mixed studies (3.9%), showing a smaller proportion than quantitative studies. Third, by research subject, 88 papers (86.3%) targeting mothers from general families were the most common. Next, there were 7 papers targeting mothers with children with disabilities (6.9%), and 3 papers (2.9%) for multicultural families and low-income families, respectively. Fourth, in the research trend of each research topic, the most research on mother depression was conducted on the child variable, and the most research looked at the relationship between the child's developmental characteristics and mother's depression, followed by individual variables such as mother's psychosocial characteristics, couple variables, and family variables. Based on these results, the direction of further research related to mother depression was suggested.

The Socio-Environmental Determinants of Childhood Malnutrition: A Spatial and Hierarchical Analysis.

Despite a remarkable reduction in global poverty and famines, substantial childhood malnutrition continues to persist. In 2017, over 50 million and 150 million young children suffered from acute malnutrition (wasting) and chronic malnutrition (stunting), respectively. Yet, the measurable impact of determinants is obscure. We evaluate proposed socio-environmental related determinants of stunting and wasting across Kenya and Nigeria and quantify their effectiveness. We combine health and demographic data from Kenya and Nigeria Demographic Health Surveys (2003, 2008-2009, 2013, 2014) with spatially explicit precipitation, temperature, and vegetation data. Geospatial and disaggregated data help to understand better who is at risk and where to target mitigation efforts. We evaluate the responsiveness of malnutrition indicators using a four-level random intercept hierarchical generalized logit model. We find that spatial and hierarchical relationships explain 28% to 36% of malnutrition outcome variation. Temporal variation in precipitation, temperature, and vegetation corresponds with more than a 50% change in malnutrition rates. Wasting is most impacted by mother's education, family wealth, clinical delivery, and vaccinations. Stunting is most impacted by family wealth, mother's education, clinical delivery, vaccinations, and children asymptomatic of fever, cough, or diarrhea. Remotely monitored climatic variables are powerful determinants, however, their effects are inconsistent across different indicators and locations.

One way or another…or both: Different roles of fathers, mothers, and adolescents in the intergenerational transmission of inclusive attitudes

AbstractThis study aimed to examine the processes of intergenerational transmission of attitudes toward migrant integration policies in families with adolescents. Participants included 809 adolescents (Mage = 15.61, range: 13.87–20.04 years), 545 fathers (Mage = 51.19, range: 38–77 years), and 716 mothers (Mage = 48.11, range: 33–68 years) involved in a longitudinal study with two assessments and a time‐lag of 1 year between them. Each family member completed the Attitudes towards Migrant Integration Policies scale. In addition, adolescents reported their perception of discussion of current events with parents and the level of support they receive from them. The cross‐lagged model highlighted a unidirectional transmission, with fathers' but not mothers' attitudes toward migrant integration policies influencing adolescents' attitudes. Furthermore, it has been examined which factors can either amplify or reduce the strength of intergenerational transmission processes considering individual characteristics of both adolescents (i.e., sex, age) and their parents (i.e., political orientation), and cultural (i.e., family, ethnic background) and relational (i.e., discussion of current events, perceived support from fathers and mothers) family characteristics. Individual factors (i.e., fathers' political orientation) and family relational characteristics (i.e., perceived support from fathers) moderated the transmission processes. The transmission was bidirectional when fathers reported being left‐wing and politically oriented and stronger when adolescents reported high support from their fathers. Thus, this study underscores the complexity of the family context, highlighting that the transmission of inclusive attitudes does not always operate in one way (e.g., from parents to children) or another, but in some cases, simultaneously.

The position of children resulting from unregistered marriages only has a civil relationship with the mother and her mother's family. However, children resulting from unregistered marriages can have a civil relationship with their father if it can be proven. 2. For children resulting from an unregistered marriage to receive inheritance from their parents, their parents' marriage must first be ratified. Once proven, the child can receive his share of inheritance as legitimate children in general.

Kedudukan Anak Luar Kawin Dalam Pewarisan Suku Minangkabau Ditinjau Dari Hukum Waris Adat

The status of extramarital children can be grouped into three kinship systems in Indonesia, namely patrilineal kinship, matrilineal kinship, and patrilineal kinship. The position of an extramarital child according to customary law is not the position of heirs or natural heirs of the father's descendants. Extramarital children only have a relationship with their mother and relatives. However, related to the context of the Supreme Court case law and the Constitutional Court decision Number 46/PUU-VIII/2010, this is an opportunity for extramarital children to get inheritance and legal protection from suspected biological fathers. So even an unrecognized extramarital child automatically has a civil relationship with his mother and his mother's family. Thus, the necessity of a mother to recognize her extramarital child as mentioned in the Burgerlijk Wetboek is no longer necessary. Likewise, it has been affirmed in the Constitutional Court Decision Number 46 / PUU-VIII / 2010 which is also part of legal reform, so that the child also has a juridical relationship with his biological father if it can be proven based on science technology and / or other evidence according to law.
