EDUKASI GIZI DAN MINUMAN KACANG HIJAU SEBAGAI PREVENTIF ANEMIA DALAM KEHAMILAN

In developing countries, the most common pregnancy complication in pregnant women is anemia. The prevalence of anemia in pregnancy in Indonesia is still quite high, including in the East Java region. The problem of pregnant women at the Polindes Kaliwining in the Puskesmas Rambipuji Jember is that anemia status is not detected in each trimester of pregnancy. Mung beans contain iron which helps the formation of erythrocytes to increase hemoglobin levels. This community service aims to provide nutritional education and the use of mung beans in preventing anemia in pregnancy. The implementation of this service uses an outreach method using a video media approach. Apart from that, blood hemoglobin levels are also checked in pregnant women as an early detection of anemia. Iron supplementation is given in the form of blood supplement tablets to pregnant women. Furthermore, giving mung beans drinks as a complement to iron supplementation to prevent anemia in pregnancy. The educational approach via video has proven effective in increasing pregnant women's knowledge by 25% regarding anemia and the benefits of mung beans. Based on the results of examinations during this service activity, blood hemoglobin levels showed that 2 respondents experienced anemia in the third trimester of pregnancy. Regular Hb checks are very important during pregnancy. The combination of consuming blood supplement tablets and mung beans can reduce the incidence of anemia in pregnancy.

Regional perinatal mortality differences in Indonesia: Evidence from Indonesian demographic health survey

AimPerinatal mortality can be used as a reference to assess health status in a country. In Indonesia, none of previous studies specifically discuss the incidence of prenatal mortality by region. The objective of this study was to analyze perinatal mortality difference by region of Indonesia. Study designThis study used a cross-sectional approach. MethodThe sample in this study was 13,310 women of childbearing age obtained from the Indonesian Demographic Health Survey (IDHS) 2017. The perinatal mortality rate was calculated using data on stillbirths with a gestational duration of seven months or more and early neonatal deaths. Perinatal mortality was analyzed by region using a binary logistic regression statistical test to examine the relationship between perinatal mortality and its factors (socio-demographic factors, individual disease control factors, and maternal factors). ResultsThis study shows that the proportion of perinatal mortality in Indonesia is 1.5 % of total births. The highest proportion of perinatal mortality (2.5 %) was in the Papua region, while the lowest proportion (1.3 %) was in the Java region. The results of this study indicated that women in the Maluku Islands had a 1.82 times higher chance of perinatal mortality compared to the Java-Bali region. The causative variable associated with perinatal mortality in the Java-Bali and Papua regions was employment status. The causative variables associated with perinatal mortality in Kalimantan were the quality of antenatal care and delivery assistance. The causative variable associated with perinatal mortality in Nusa Tenggara and Papua was the location of delivery. The causative variable associated with perinatal mortality in Kalimantan, Maluku, and Papua was the mother's age. The causative variable associated with perinatal mortality in the Java-Bali region was parity. The causative variable associated with perinatal mortality in Sumatra was the type of delivery. ConclusionThis study show that there were disparities in the incidence of perinatal mortality between regions in Indonesia. The government needs to re-adjust the existing strategies to improve health status and focus on community empowerment for women to prevent perinatal mortality.

PERCEPTION AND ACCEPTANCE OF STAKEHOLDERS IN AGRICULTURAL INTERVENTION PROGRAM FOR IMPROVEMENT OF FOOD AND NUTRITION SECURITY IN EAST JAVA, INDONESIA

A program intervention has been launched to achieve food and nutrition security in Indonesia. However, the process and implementation are supposed to be smoother than anticipated. This research analyzes the involvement and roles of stakeholders and organizations in implementing the program as the factors affecting the process’s smoothness. This research espoused an actor and institution-centered communication approach to dissect the stakeholders directly and laterally involved in executing the program. The East Java region was selected as the study sample. A qualitative ethnographic-phenomenological approach was adopted for this study. The crucial snatchers include government officers, extension workers, original leaders, and growers. Data were compiled using direct interviews and focus group discussions. This study applied triangulations among government organizations, stakeholders, and end-druggies to corroborate the data and information. Results of the analysis show that the dispatches of actors and institutions played dominant roles in the program’s execution. In the early application stage, the dominant role of actor and institution communication was explosively needed in a new program intervention to smooth implementation. In the provincial position, government officers played significant communication roles. The main actors in the program included women leaders of ménage substance education and farmer leaders at the grassroots position. Agrarian extension officers dominantly communicated between parochial and grassroots situations. The roles and involvements of the stakeholders varied across stages of program implementation. Institutions should reduce the dominant roles of their staff members in the late stages, engage local champions to replace the staff members, and substantially lessen reliance on formal institutions.

Bio-Risk Management Systems: Biosafety Assessment in COVID-19 Referral Hospitals in Indonesia

Numerous hospital laboratories in Indonesia need to implement improved bio-risk management (BRM) systems. There are many potential biohazards in laboratory activities that can impact health and the environment, leading to laboratory incidents. To minimize the impact and occurrence of such incidents, it is necessary to evaluate the implementation of BRM in every hospital laboratory that uses biological agents. This study was conducted in eight COVID-19 reference hospitals in Indonesia in the regions of Sumatra, Kalimantan, and Java, which have committed to implementing BRM systems in their laboratory activities. This research employed a descriptive study design and quantitative methods, with the aim of analyzing and evaluating the implementation of BRM systems in laboratories by assessing the achievements and gap analysis obtained from each laboratory. This research utilized primary data in the form of checklist forms referencing ISO 35001:2019 for the laboratory BRM system. Then, the assessments were based on virtual interviews conducted by the researcher with laboratory personnel as the primary data. The evaluation conducted on gap analysis from the seven clauses in ISO 35001:2019 across all hospitals revealed large gaps, particularly in three clauses: leadership, support, and performance. However, the aspects concerning organization, improvement, and performance evaluation were relatively satisfactory. Hence, there is a need for further improvement in leadership, support, and performance evaluation clauses. Additionally, it is essential to highlight the importance of comprehensive performance assessment, including proactive audits and continuous enhancements to achieve optimal bio-risk management.

Ectoparasites Infestation to Small Ruminants and Practical Attitudes among Farmers toward Acaricides Treatment in Central Region of Java, Indonesia.

Ectoparasite infestations are one of the major problems affecting goat and sheep farming. Disease resulting from these infestations can cause changes in physical appearance, such as severe lesions on the skin, and economic consequences in the form of significantly reduced selling prices. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of ectoparasites in the Boyolali district, Central Java, Indonesia. A total of 651 sheep and goats were surveyed in this study. The parasites were collected via skin scraping, twister, or manually from clinically infected goats and sheep in traditional farms. All of the ectoparasites collected were successfully identified. The prevalence of ectoparasites in ruminants in Boyolali was 97.8% (637/651). The species make-up was as follows: Bovicola caprae 97.8% (637/651), Linognathus africanus 39% (254/651), Haemaphysalis bispinosa 3.5% (23/651), Ctenocephalides spp. 0.2% (1/651), and Sarcoptes scabiei 5.2% (34/651). The predilection sites were in the face, ear, and leg areas, and in the axillary, dorsal, abdomen, and scrotum regions of the surveyed animals. An evaluation of farmers' attitudes to ectoparasites was performed using a questionnaire. The findings of this study imply that animals in the investigated area are highly exposed to ectoparasite infestations. Given the importance of ectoparasites in both livestock and human communities, specifically in the health domain, more research into appropriate control strategies is necessary.

Discussions about ethical and aesthetic meaning in art, especially traditional dance will always be an interesting study to discuss amidst technological developments and globalization. This research aims to examine and describe the ethical, ethical, and aesthetic values of traditional Indonesian dance consisting of the regions of Aceh, Java, Kalimantan, Bali, Sulawesi, and Papua. The problem discussed in this research is what is the ethical and aesthetic meaning of traditional dance in Indonesia? This type of research is qualitative using a descriptive-analytical approach. The use of this qualitative method can provide more comprehensive knowledge results because it emphasizes process and meaning. Data collection in this research was carried out by interviews with dance maestros, cultural figures, choreographers, and dance academics. This research can provide a comprehensive understanding of the diversity of Indonesian traditional dance to expand the scope of knowledge of arts and culture. The results of this research show that traditional dances from the six selected regions have similarities in terms of geography, themes, and clothing. In general, the birth of traditional dance in these six regions was created from two regions, namely the coast and the mountains. Three big themes are usually raised in traditional dance, namely ritual, war, and entertainment. Clothing in the six selected regions has different characteristics. This difference has of course been regulated by the traditions and customs of the people who believe in it so that it becomes an ethic and aesthetic in a dance performance.
