Assessment of the implementation of early detection of children’s growth and development by midwives

In Indonesia, the SDIDTK (Stimulation of Early Detection and Intervention of Growth and Development) program aims to monitor children's growth and development. SDIDTK monitors growth, encompassing body weight, height, and head circumference. It also monitors development, which includes a development test using KPSP (Developmental Pre-Screening Questionnaire), sight test, hearing test, and emotional-mental development test. This study analysed midwives' application of early growth detection services in Magetan Regency, Indonesia. It used a mixed-method approach. This quantitative study assessed the application of early detection by surveying 53 randomly selected village midwives. The qualitative study was conducted by interviewing 8 participants. The results showed that about 43.9% of midwives falsely reported providing SDIDTK services even when they only monitored the growth aspect without monitoring children’s development. Midwives are helped by cadres who undergo routine growth examinations. Unfortunately, development detection is not routine. The challenges in implementing developmental detection included heavy workloads, limited time, and limited human resources. Other influential factors include the lack of intersectoral cooperation and the fact that societal empowerment have not optimally been established. The SDIDTK program's implementation remains suboptimal. The authors concluded that midwives should improve cross-sector collaboration, empower communities, and set standards for community midwifery care.

Experiences of Low-Income Indonesian Pregnant Women Regarding the Challenges of Receiving Health Services: A Qualitative Content Analysis.

The information needs of low-income pregnant women are multisectoral, encompassing both pregnancy-related and non-pregnancy-related information. Barriers to receiving information for low-income pregnant women are specific and complex. This study aimed to explore the experiences of low-income Indonesian pregnant women regarding the challenges of receiving health information. A qualitative study was conducted using content analysis according to Graneheim and Lundman's approach between January and June 2022. A total of 17 women were selected for this study using purposive sampling. In-depth interviews were done following semi-structured interview guidelines, concluding when saturation was reached. Nvivo software version March 2020 was used for organizing data and analysis. Three themes emerged concerning receiving health information among low-income women, including encountering barriers to accessing information and care, access to ineffective information sources, and difficulties in applying pregnancy health information. This study shows that barriers to receiving information are specific to low-income pregnant women. Therefore, solution approaches must also be specific. Efforts to improve receiving health information can be achieved through developing educational materials that are easy to access and understand, improving e-health literacy, refining counseling skills among village midwives, holding culturally tailored educational programs, improving mothers' health literacy by family and husbands, integrating counseling with a focus on critical literacy, and formulating policies to alleviate the midwife's workload.

Culture-based Gorontalo community support for short-term pregnancy women to prevent stunting in neonates

Community support is known to play an essential role in enhancing maternal health during pregnancy. This is primarily due to the influence of societal factors on the health status of both the mother and fetus.

This study aims to analyze the extent of culture-based Gorontalo community support for short-term pregnant women in improving maternal health and preventing stunting neonates.The procedures were carried out using a qualitative study method with a phenomenological approach. The sample population comprised 12 pregnant women, 9 village midwives, and 6 cadres, who were selected using the snowball sampling method. In addition, data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews and observations, followed by analysis using Interpretive Phenomenology Analysis (IFA).The people of Gorontalo were very supportive and concerned about the health of short-term pregnant women and fetuses to prevent stunting neonates. A form of culture-based community support comprised regular reminders to pregnant women to diligently attend monthly check-ups with both traditional healers and healthcare professionals. Traditional healers, also known as shamans, fulfilled their role by performing a range of rituals believed to enhance health and well-being. These rituals typically included massages, administering water fortified with sacred chants, and conducting monthly ceremonies for 7 months. In addition, community members frequently offered food preferences to pregnant women and provided reminders to avoid taboos.In summary, community support deeply rooted in culture can serve as a powerful reminder for expectant mothers to undergo regular check-ups with both traditional healers and healthcare professionals on a monthly basis.

DETERMINANTS OF STUNTING INCIDENTS IN SOUTHWEST ACEH

In Southwest Aceh, stunting is still in the vast category compared to other districts/cities in Aceh Province. Although various strategies have been implemented by the local government so that the percentage of stunting incidents can be reduced, these efforts are currently not running optimally. This research aims to determine the causes of stunting in children in the Southwest Aceh Regency.

PENYULUHAN KESEHATAN DAN PEMERIKSAAN KADAR GULA DARAH SEBAGAI UPAYA PENCEGAHAN DIABETES MELITUS DI DESA CURAH COTTOK, SITUBONDO

Diabetes mellitus is a disease whose population is increasing and can occur at all ages. This disease generally appears in the elderly. Diabetes mellitus is characterized by increased glucose levels in the blood. In rural communities, knowledge about this disease is still minimal, so hyperglycemia is usually only discovered when the condition gets worse. Blood sugar levels can be determined through blood sugar checks. The people in Curah Cottok Village have a pattern of consuming quite a lot of sugar. Drinks tend to taste very sweet when consumed. Apart from that, this village also produces crackers where the basic ingredient for making crackers is flour which is another source of carbohydrates. This needs to be watched out for because it can be a factor in increasing blood sugar levels. Increasing community knowledge in rural areas is carried out through health education activities and health consultations. Early detection of diabetes mellitus is carried out through random blood sugar level checks. This community service activity was carried out in Curah Cottok Village, Situbondo. Participants in this activity were 26 people aged 50-80 years.
