Ashma Lathifah — 2024-03-24

In broad terms, eating patterns encompass three primary components: the type of food consumed, the frequency of eating occasions, and the portion sizes consumed. Schools are recognized as pivotal settings for initiatives aimed at preventing obesity, particularly given the potential for multifaceted interventions when addressing obesity and its associated health issues in childhood. These interventions may involve diverse strategies targeting dietary habits, physical activity levels, and broader environmental factors within the school setting. In local data between 2017 and 2020, the Province of Yogyakarta reported a 6.01% increase in the prevalence of obesity, with Yogyakarta City having the highest rate at 14.73%. This study aimed to investigate the connection between obesity in elementary school students and their eating habits and physical activity levels. This study uses a case-control methodology and is an analytical observational investigation. Purposive sampling was used in the sampling process, with 20 kids serving as the case group and 40 as the control group. Data was obtained using the formulas for physical activity, meal frequency, and 24-hour recall. The Chi-square test was used to examine the results. The results show the relationship between physical activity and eating patterns. Also, children with low physical activity have a 1.14 times greater risk of developing obesity than children who have moderate physical activity. The study's findings suggest a clear correlation between obesity dietary choices and physical activity levels. Effective management of an individual's weight necessitates involvement from their family in regulating their eating habits and encouraging physical exercise. Thus, it can be inferred that eating behaviors and levels of physical activity significantly contribute to the development and management of obesity.

Putri Intan Permata Nusantara — 2024-03-24

Diarrhea can be treated properly to reduce its severity. Behavioral elements within society are risk factors that can lead to diarrheal disease. Poor sanitation practices, inadequate access to clean water, improper food handling, and insufficient hygiene habits can increase the risk of transmission of diarrheal illness. Additionally, socio-economic disparities, cultural beliefs, and educational levels can influence individuals' behaviors related to hygiene and sanitation, further exacerbating the risk of diarrheal diseases. Compared to other Puskesmas, the one in South Atambua had a very high number of diarrhea cases in 2021—up to 88 incidents among toddlers, according to Belu District Health Office statistics. This study aimed to identify variables associated with mothers' conduct when treating their toddler's diarrhea. This kind of cross-sectional, quantitative study was carried out in Atambua Selatan, employing a sample size of 72 participants and a simple random sampling technique. The Chi-Square statistical test was utilized in both univariate and bivariate data analysis. The findings indicated that while education level had no association with mothers' behavior in managing the incidence of diarrhea among newborns, knowledge and family support did (p-value = 0.000) have a relationship with maternal behavior in handling diarrhea in toddlers. Otherwise, mothers' behaviors regarding diarrhea among toddlers were not correlated with their level of education. In the future, health officers are expected to provide information on how to deal with diarrhea among toddlers regularly and involve other family members to support mothers. The collaborative efforts of health officers and family members are essential in safeguarding toddlers' health and well-being during diarrhea episodes.

Description of non-communicable diseases and risk factors related to lifestyle among POSBINDU (Integrated Guidance Posts) participants in Yogyakarta in 2022

Ami Poniasih — 2024-03-24

Non-communicable diseases are a public health problem and are a significant cause of death both in Indonesia and worldwide. These diseases cause a complication if not appropriately managed. Indonesian basic health research (Riskesdas) 2018 found that there was an increase in cases of non-communicable diseases compared to the previous research. One of the strategies used to control non-communicable diseases is by early detection of risk factors for non-communicable diseases through Posbindu activities. This research aims to describe the health status of participants of one Posbindu in 2022. This descriptive research uses secondary data from the results of examinations in 2022. The number of participants was 1,090 people consisting of 42.11% men and 57.89% women. The age range of the participants was 26-35 years with as many as 33.67%. Participants' highest education was undergraduate with as many as 50.09% and those with married status were 73.58%. Based on the Posbindu examination results, 578 people (53.03%) had central obesity, with 332 cases among female participants (57.44%). Posbindu participants with hypertension were 182 people where 119 of them were male (65.38%). Posbindu participants with diabetes mellitus were 30 people (2.75%), with the most cases in men, 21 (70%). Non-communicable diseases can affect anyone; the older you are, the more at risk you will get. One way to prevent non-communicable diseases is to control the risk factors such as smoking, lack of physical activity, excessive consumption of sugar and salt, and less consumption of vegetables and fruit. In the coming years, it is anticipated that further exploration will be undertaken, utilizing firsthand data collection methods, presenting findings descriptively, and employing inferential analysis techniques to draw meaningful conclusions.

Difference of effectiveness between educational video media and PowerPoint on sedentary lifestyle on students’ knowledge

Tsamarah Qaulan Sadida — 2024-03-24

Living a sedentary lifestyle entails engaging in minimal physical activity and getting insufficient exercise. One of the common repercussions of sedentary habits among adolescents is obesity. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, students often studied online, spending prolonged hours in front of computer screens. This shift to remote learning exacerbated the sedentary behavior already prevalent among adolescents, potentially worsening the risk of obesity and other associated health issues. To mitigate the detrimental effects of a sedentary lifestyle, this research aimed to enhance students' comprehension of relevant information on a sedentary lifestyle. A quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design was used in this kind of study. Using the purposive sampling technique, the study sample consisted of 72 students from class X: 36 respondents from class X-1 were assigned to the instructional video media group, while 36 respondents from class X-2 were assigned to the PowerPoint group. A pre-test questionnaire was distributed to each group, followed by interventions and a post-test questionnaire. The Mann-Whitney test was used to analyze the data between groups, while the Wilcoxon test was used to analyze each group's data. After using PowerPoint and video media as an intervention, there was a significant difference in the respondents' knowledge level, with p values being the same (p value=0.000). The treatment group that used educational video media and the group that used PowerPoint media differed in effectiveness (p value=0.015). After receiving an intervention using a PowerPoint and video, the respondents' level of knowledge increased. Compared to PowerPoint presentations, educational videos are a more effective way to enhance understanding of inactive lifestyles. A remarkable opportunity exists to enhance adolescents' understanding of the importance of leading an active lifestyle by harnessing the potential of video media as an instrumental tool.
