The Effect of Stimulation Using Fetal Development Stickers Booklet on the Accuracy of Antenatal Care Follow-Up Visits for Pregnant Women
No full textBackground: Antenatal Care (ANC) service standards recommend that pregnant women undergo at least six medical check-ups during pregnancy: one in the first trimester, two in the second trimester, and three in the third trimester. However, ANC revisit rates in Indonesia remain suboptimal. This study aims to determine the effect of stimulation using a fetal development sticker booklet on the accuracy of ANC revisits among third-trimester pregnant women.
Methods: This quasi-experimental study employed a one-group pretest-posttest design with control group. A total of 60 respondents were selected using purposive sampling and divided into treatment and control groups, with 30 participants each. The intervention involved affixing fetal development stickers representing fetal growth based on gestational age in the third trimester. The analysis used was the chi-square test.
Results: The results showed a significant increase in on-time ANC revisits in the treatment group (83.3%) compared to the control group (36.7%). The test revealed a statistically significant relationship between the provision of fetal development stickers and ANC revisit accuracy, with a p-value of <0.001 (<0.05), Odds Ratio (OR) of 8.6, and a 95% Confidence Interval (CI) of 2.5–29.07.
Conclusion: This indicates that pregnant women who were given fetal development stickers in their KIA books had an 8.6 times greater chance of making timely ANC visits compared to those who were not given stickers. Therefore, fetal development sticker booklets are an effective tool to improve ANC revisit compliance and can serve as a valuable complement to the standard Maternal and Child Health (MCH) handbook

Iron Supplement Tablet Consumption is Associated with Hemoglobin Levels in Pregnant Women
No full textBackground: Hemoglobin (Hb) levels in pregnant women are checked in the first trimester (Hb1) and third trimester (Hb2). Hemoglobin requires iron (Fe) and protein; consumption of at least 90 iron tablets during pregnancy is recommended to increase Hb and prevent anemia. The purpose of this study was to analyze TTD consumption, hemoglobin levels in the first and third trimesters, and the relationship between TTD consumption and Hb levels in pregnant women at the Bayat Community Health Center, Klaten Regency.
Methods: This was an associative quantitative study with a sample of 52 pregnant women in their third trimester who had their Hb checked at the Bayat Community Health Center in October 2022 (incidental sampling). Univariate and bivariate analyses were performed; the relationship between TTD consumption and Hb was tested using Spearman\u27s correlation using IBM SPSS Statistics 23.
Results: A total of 59.6% of respondents regularly consumed ≥90 TTD tablets, but 65.4% did not experience an increase in Hb levels from Hb1 to Hb2. Spearman\u27s test showed a significant relationship between TTD consumption and Hb levels (p = 0.000; r = 0.516) with a positive direction, indicating that regular TTD consumption is associated with an increase in Hb levels.
Conclusion: There is a moderate positive correlation between iron supplement consumption and hemoglobin levels in pregnant women at the Bayat Community Health Center. It is recommended to improve program interventions: strengthening counseling and education on iron supplement consumption compliance, monitoring compliance by health workers, providing adequate supplements, and conducting periodic Hb checks and follow-ups for mothers who do not show an increase in Hb
Feeding Patterns Related to Nutritional Status in Stunted Toddlers
No full textBackground: Stunting can occur as a result of malnutrition, especially during the first 1000 days of life (HPK). Poor nutrition during pregnancy, growth, and early childhood can cause children to become stunted. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between feeding patterns and nutritional status in stunted toddlers at the North Klaten Community Health Center in Klaten Regency.
Methods: This study used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of all mothers with stunted toddlers, totaling 234 people, using proportional stratified random sampling, resulting in a sample of 71 respondents. The research instruments used were the CFQ (Child Feeding Questionnaire) and anthropometric observation sheets. The validity and reliability of the instruments had been tested in previous studies. Data were analyzed univariately and bivariately using the chi-square test.
Results: The results showed that most feeding patterns were inappropriate (69%) and the nutritional status of stunted toddlers was classified as short (56.3%). The chi-square test obtained a p-value of 0.004 (p<0.05), which means that there is a significant relationship between feeding patterns and the nutritional status of stunted toddlers.
Conclusion: The study shows that the more appropriate the feeding patterns applied by mothers, the better the nutritional status of their children. Health workers need to improve education for mothers about the importance of feeding patterns appropriate for their children\u27s age and involve nutritionists and posyandu cadres in monitoring toddler growth
