Full text linkAnemia in pregnancy is still a serious problem in Indonesia, with a prevalence of 48.9%. Iron supplementation is widely considered an important strategy to reduce the incidence. The aim of the study is to analyze the effect of educational videos on the knowledge and compliance of pregnant women with Fe tablet consumption and to compare the impact of knowledge and compliance with the consumption of Fe tablets on pregnant women between the intervention group and the control group. The methods used in this study were quasi-experimental with a nonequivalent control group design. Sampling by the exhaustive sampling technique consisted of 64 respondents, with the intervention group of 32 people and the control group of 32 people. This study was carried out at the Dahlia Health Center and the Pertiwi Health Center in Makassar City for 5 months, with an intervention of 90 tablets or 3 months. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square, Wilcoxon, McNemar, and Mann-Whitney tests. The result shows the intervention group showed a 100.0% increase in knowledge and 59.4% in compliance, while the control group experienced a 90.6% increase in knowledge and 56.2% in compliance. The educational video on the importance of blood supplement tablets during pregnancy effectively increases knowledge and compliance with Fe tablet consumption in pregnant women, so it is hoped that health workers can use educational video media as an alternative method in counseling

The The Relationship between Nutritional Status and Worm Infection with the Intellectual Ability: A Case of Children Aged 6-12 Years in Jungkat Village
No full textThe prevalence of worm infection in Indonesia remains high, reaching 21.6% in 2022, with significant impacts on children, including decreased cognitive function and growth impairments. Theoretically, children who are in high-risk environments for worm infection and delayed growth have a high potential to have low intelligence. This study aimed to describe the nutritional status, worm infection, and intellectual ability of elementary school children in Jungkat Village, and to analyze the interrelationships between these factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted in four elementary schools in Jungkat Village from June to August. A total sampling approach was applied, with 626 children aged 6–12 years who met the inclusion criteria (enrolled in the schools and obtained parental consent). Data were collected via anthropometric measurements, a worm infection questionnaire, and Raven’s Progressive Matrices (RPM), and analyzed using multinomial logistic regression. More than 70% of children had a normal nutritional status, but stunting (20.78%), overweight (7.67%), and obesity (7.67%) indicated a dual burden of malnutrition. The prevalence of worm infection is notably high (29.71%), while intellectual assessments indicate that 60.86% of children fall into the below-average or defective categories. Interestingly, children in Jungkat Village appear to adapt to worm infections, as these do not seem to impair intellectual capacity. Despite having a mostly normal nutritional status, many individuals still demonstrate below-average intellectual abilities, suggesting that other determinants, beyond nutrition and infection, may play a stronger role. Further studies are recommended to explore genetic, environmental, and educational factors that may influence children’s intellectual development.

Evaluation of User Satisfaction of Electronic Medical Record System at RSI Sultan Agung Semarang
Full text linkFrom 2019 to 2022, RSI Sultan Agung Semarang managed SIMRS independently. While the implementation remained hybrid, SIMRS was turned over to a third party in early 2023 to develop Electronic Medical Records (EMR). However, in 2024, a year later, the management of SIMRS and EMR was once again independent. It was necessary to assess user satisfaction with the EMR in light of these modifications. This study aims to determine the variables affecting users' satisfaction with the EMR at RSI Sultan Agung Semarang's medical record installation. Cross-sectional research was used in conjunction with quantitative research design. Questionnaires were distributed to collect data. Purposive sampling was used in the sampling process, and 32 individuals met the inclusion criteria. The statistical test results demonstrate that all of the variable's content, accuracy, format, ease of use, and timeliness have p-values less than 0.05, indicating a significant relationship between each variable and satisfaction with the EMR. Everything about the EMR system has been going smoothly; more system development is needed to make it easier to access quickly and effectively, which will improve the timeliness of medical services. Future research should look into other variables or perform long-term studies to track changes in user satisfaction
The Analysis of Protein Content, Iron Content, and Acceptability of Crackers Substituted with Edamame (Glycine max L. Merrill) Flour and Mackerel Tuna (Euthynnus affinis) Protein Hydrolysate
No full textCrackers are a snack often favored by toddlers. Commercially available crackers predominantly use wheat flour, which is high in carbohydrates but low in nutritional value, particularly in protein content. Therefore, innovative formulations are needed to enrich the nutrition, notably protein and iron, by substituting edamame flour and mackerel tuna protein hydrolysate into crackers to help address stunting. This study aims to analyze the protein content, iron content, and acceptability of crackers made with a substitution of edamame flour and tuna protein hydrolysate. This research was conducted at the University of Jember from February to April 2024 using a completely randomized design at four levels. Protein analysis used the Kjeldahl method, and iron content was examined by atomic absorption spectrometry. The acceptability was tested using the hedonic scale test on 30 semi-trained panelists. The results were analyzed using SPSSv24. Results showed statistically significant differences in protein content, iron content, color acceptability, aroma, and taste. The highest protein content is found in A3, while the highest iron content is found in A1. The best formulation, determined by the exponential comparison method, was treatment A2. In conclusion, substitution with edamame flour and tuna protein hydrolysate in all treatment variations significantly affected protein content, iron content, and acceptability in terms of color, aroma, and taste; however, it did not substantially impact texture or overall acceptability. Substitution of edamame flour and mackerel tuna protein hydrolysate in crackers can increase protein content and therefore could be an effective measure in preventing stunting
Adolescents' Knowledge and Attitudes Toward Reproductive Health Using Website and Booklet Media
No full textSexuality is considered a taboo topic by society, making it difficult to discuss openly. Parents typically provide minimal guidance, while teenagers frequently feel too embarrassed to ask questions. To overcome these barriers, a more engaging and accessible platform, such as a website dedicated to reproductive health, is necessary to help teenagers gain a better understanding of the topic. This study aims to analyze the influence of reproductive health education through website media on changes in adolescent knowledge and attitudes. This research is a quasi-experiment, a quantitative study. The research was conducted from March to November 2024. The respondents/subjects were 200 teenagers aged 15-18 years in Palangka Raya who owned a smartphone or laptop. The intervention group had an average knowledge score of 22.90, higher than the control group's score of 20.49. The Independent T-test showed a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating that education using the booklet was less effective in increasing knowledge compared to the website+booklet. Similarly, the intervention group's average attitude score was 127.67, higher than the control group's score of 122.08. The Independent T-test showed a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating that using only the booklet was less effective in improving attitudes compared to the combined website+booklet approach. Education on reproductive health delivered through a website and booklet is more effective at enhancing knowledge and attitude scores in adolescents than education provided solely through a booklet. Ensure that the digital platform is accessible to all adolescents, including those in remote areas.
