Recent data shows disparities and setbacks in maternal health services. In Indonesia, there was an increase in maternal mortality in 2020 compared to 2019. Inequality is a powerful predictor of maternal mortality. This study aims to find whether inequality indicators, namely the Human Development Index and Geographic Units, can be predictors of maternal mortality. This research uses an ecological study design with a unit of analysis in 34 provinces in Indonesia. The data used in this study is secondary data from the Ministry of Health and Statistics Indonesia. Descriptive analysis and Poisson regression were used to determine whether the Human Development Index and geographic units could be predictors of maternal mortality. The increase in maternal mortality occurred in 21 (61%) provinces in Indonesia. The province's lowest maternal mortality rate was 48, and the highest was 565 per 100,000 live births. The Human Development Index and geographic units can significantly predict maternal mortality (P < 0.05). Human development indices and geographic units are significant predictors of maternal mortality. Strategies that can be done to reduce maternal mortality are improved education, health services, and specific and collaborative interventions according to provincial needs.

Maternal and Child Health Problems (MCH) are still a health problem in Indonesia. Many factors affect the stunting condition, one of which is the history of anemia in pregnant women. The study aimed to know the effect of a history of anemia in pregnant women on stunting in newborns. The research design used case control. The population was all newborns of ??the Ponjong II Public Health Center (PHC) Gunungkidul working area in 2020-2022, with as many as 315 babies. The election of case and control groups used inclusion and exclusion criteria, which were selected from 62 samples. The research instrument used a table of data collection. Data analysis used univariate and odds ratio analysis, and Mantel Haenszel. The results of the study show that anemia in pregnancy influences stunting conditions in newborns. Mothers who have a history of anemic conditions during pregnancy and stunting conditions are 28,125 times more likely than mothers who have no history of anemia. There is an influence of anemia history in pregnant women that affects the stunting condition. A history of anemia increases the risk of newborn babies having stunts.

Adolescent pregnancy is a serious problem. Adolescent pregnancy can lead to reduced antenatal care (ANC) visits and result in significant consequences in the form of untreated pregnancy complications that will result in increased Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR). The primary objective of this study was to ascertain and scrutinize the factors influencing antenatal care (ANC) visitation patterns among adolescent pregnant women within Bantul Regency. This study is an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design. The outcomes of the chi-square test for the facilitating factor yielded results about the level of education (p= 0.041), marriage status (p= 0.006), and pregnancy status (p= 0.000) while on the reinforcing factor of family support (p= 0.027). The results of this study's logistic regression test stated that health worker support (p= 0.020) and pregnancy status (p= 0.001). The conclusion of this research suggests that the pivotal determinants significantly influencing ANC utilization among adolescent pregnant women in Bantul Regency are the presence of health worker support and the particular status of pregnancy.

The history of diarrhea and stunting in children aged 24-59 months

Sat, 31 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0700

The prevalence of stunting in Indonesia remains relatively high. Various consequences can arise due to stunting, including impaired cognitive development in children, suboptimal school performance, and potential long-term impacts on women during adulthood. Diarrhea is identified as one of the triggers for stunting, often caused by insufficient parental supervision and inadequate Exclusive Breastfeeding (EBF) and Complementary Feeding (CF) practices. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between diarrhea occurrence and stunting among toddlers aged 24-59 months. The research employed an observational analysis design using a case-control approach. Sample selection was done through purposive Sampling, involving criteria for inclusion and exclusion. The total sample size was 130 individuals, comprising 65 case samples and 65 control samples. The study was conducted at Dlingo II, Pajangan, and Imogiri II Public Health Centers in Bantul Regency in 2021. Secondary data from registers and medical records were utilized. Data analysis involved the use of the chi-square test and odds ratio (OR). The majority of stunted toddlers were male, had low birth weight, a history of exclusive breastfeeding, and a history of complementary feeding for less than six months. There was a significant relationship between diarrhea and stunting incidence (p=0.023) with an OR value of 3.335 (1.625-6.844). This implies that toddlers with a history of recurrent diarrhea are three times more likely to experience stunting. There is a significant association between diarrhea occurrence and stunting among toddlers aged 24-59 months in the working area of Bantul Regency.
