St. Mutiatu Rahmah — 2025-12-27

Stunting masih menjadi permasalahan gizi di Indonesia. Salah satu strategi pencegahan stunting adalah melalui diversifikasi pengembangan produk olahan berbasis pangan lokal berupa nugget ikan kembung jagung dan ikan tuna jagung. Penelitian bertujuan menganalisis kandungan gizi (uji proksimat) nugget ikan kembung jagung dan nugget ikan tuna jagung sebagai diversifikasi olahan pangan lokal dalam upaya pencegahan stunting. Jenis penelitian adalah eksperimen dengan menggunakan desain Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL), meliputi tiga formula ikan kembung : jagung dan ikan tuna : jagung dengan rasio F1 (90%:10%), F2 (80%:20%), dan F3 (70%:30%). Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa formula F1 (90%:10%) baik nugget ikan kembung jagung maupun ikan tuna jagung memiliki nilai proksimat, nilai gizi, dan angka kecukupan gizi yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan formula lain. Formula nugget ikan kembung dan ikan tuna jagung F1(90:10%) dengan komposisi ikan sebesar 36 g/4 g jagung dapat dijadikan sebagai alternatif pemberian Makanan Pendamping ASI (MP-ASI) berbasis pangan lokal bagi balita karena berpotensi dalam mencegah terjadinya stunting ataupun masalah gizi lainnya.

Stunting remains a major nutritional problem in Indonesia. One strategy to prevent stunting is the diversification of processed products based on local food sources, such as mackerel–corn nuggets and tuna–corn nuggets. This study aimed to analyze the nutritional content (proximate composition) of mackerel–corn nuggets and tuna–corn nuggets as local food-based product diversification for stunting prevention. This experimental study employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of three formulations of mackerel-to-corn and tuna-to-corn ratios: F1 (90%:10%), F2 (80%:20%), and F3 (70%:30%). Proximate analysis was conducted to evaluate nutritional quality. The results indicated that the F1 formulation (90%:10%) of both mackerel–corn nuggets and tuna–corn nuggets exhibited superior proximate composition, nutritional values, and nutritional adequacy levels compared to the other formulations. The F1 formulation, containing 36 g of fish and 4 g of corn, demonstrates potential as an alternative local food-based complementary feeding (MP-ASI) for toddlers, as it may contribute to the prevention of stunting and other nutritional deficiencies

Dewinta Risna Murti — 2025-12-27

Perilaku keselamatan kerja berperan penting dalam mencegah kecelakaan, namun di PT. X sektor energi masih ditemukan perilaku tidak aman meskipun tingkat kelulusan safety induction cukup tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan antara pelaksanaan safety induction dengan perilaku K3 pada pekerja operasional dan pemeliharaan. Penelitian menggunakan desain cross-sectional pada 148 pekerja yang dipilih melalui simple random sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner dan dokumentasi, serta dianalisis menggunakan uji chi-square. Hasil menunjukkan 38,5% pekerja tidak lulus safety induction dan 35,8% memiliki perilaku tidak aman. Terdapat hubungan signifikan antara safety induction dan perilaku K3 (p = 0,013; OR = 2,549), di mana pekerja yang tidak lulus memiliki risiko 2,5 kali lebih besar untuk berperilaku tidak aman. Temuan ini memperkuat peran safety induction dalam meningkatkan pengetahuan, iklim keselamatan, dan motivasi keselamatan sesuai kerangka Teori L.Green dan pendekatan perubahan perilaku WHO. Disimpulkan bahwa safety induction yang bersifat partisipatif dan didukung penguatan manajemen berpotensi meningkatkan konsistensi perilaku aman. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi baru melalui integrasi Teori L.Green dan strategi perubahan perilaku WHO untuk menjelaskan mekanisme hubungan safety induction, serta penggunaan kelulusan safety induction sebagai indikator objektif efektivitas program yang jarang digunakan dalam penelitian K3 di sektor energi berisiko tinggi.

Safety behavior plays a critical role in preventing workplace accidents; however, unsafe practices persist at PT X in the energy sector despite a relatively high safety induction pass rate. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between safety induction implementation and occupational safety and health (OSH) behavior among operational and maintenance workers. A cross-sectional study design was employed involving 148 workers selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and documentation, and analyzed using the chi-square test. The results indicated that 38.5% of workers did not pass the safety induction, and 35.8% exhibited unsafe behavior. A statistically significant association was observed between safety induction and OSH behavior (p = 0.013; OR = 2.549), indicating that workers who failed the safety induction were 2.5 times more likely to engage in unsafe behavior. These findings underscore the importance of safety induction in enhancing safety knowledge, safety climate, and safety motivation, in accordance with Lawrence Green’s PRECEDE–PROCEED Model and the World Health Organization (WHO) behavior change framework. It can be concluded that participatory safety induction, supported by strong managerial reinforcement, has the potential to improve consistency in safe behavior. This study contributes novel insights by integrating Green’s theoretical model and the WHO behavior change strategy to explain the mechanism underlying the relationship between safety induction and safety behavior, as well as by utilizing safety induction pass status as an objective indicator of program effectiveness—an approach that is rarely applied in occupational safety research within high-risk energy sectors.

Labor pain is a physiological response associated with uterine contractions, cervical dilation and effacement, and fetal descent during childbirth. Pain typically begins in the latent phase of the first stage of labor at cervical dilation of 0–3 cm and progressively intensifies as dilation increases. During the active phase (4–7 cm), pain is perceived as sharper, and it becomes more intense and rigid at dilation of 7–10 cm. One non-pharmacological approach to reduce labor pain is the combination of effleurage massage and classical music therapy. This study aimed to examine the effect of combining effleurage massage and classical music on labor pain during the first stage of labor at Kandeman Community Health Center, Batang Regency. A quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted. The sample consisted of 30 women in labor who received effleurage massage combined with classical music therapy. Labor pain intensity was measured before and after the intervention and analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results showed a significant reduction in labor pain following the intervention. The mean pain score decreased from 5 in the pretest to 3 in the posttest, with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001). In conclusion, the combination of effleurage massage and classical music therapy has a significant effect in reducing labor pain during the active phase of the first stage of labor at Kandeman Community Health Center, Batang Regency.

KEGEMUKAN PADA REMAJA DI JAKARTA: PENGARUH EMOTIONAL EATING, FAST FOOD, AKTIVITAS FISIK, DAN DURASI TIDUR

Desiani Rizki Purwaningtyas — 2025-12-27

Kegemukan atau gizi berlebih (overweight dan obesitas) merupakan salah satu masalah kesehatan masyarakat yang prevalensinya semakin meningkat termasuk pada kelompok remaja di perkotaan. Jakarta menempati urutan tertinggi kegemukan pada remaja 16-18 tahun (19,2%). Kegemukan terjadi ketika asupan energi yang dikonsumsi melebihi kebutuhan tubuh sehingga menyebabkan penimbunan lemak dan peningkatan berat badan di atas normal. Pola makan tinggi kalori seperti konsumsi fast food yang berlebihan, durasi tidur yang tidak adekuat, perilaku emotional eating, serta rendahnya aktivitas fisik diduga berkontribusi terhadap meningkatnya risiko kegemukan pada remaja. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan konsumsi fast food, durasi tidur, emotional eating, dan aktivitas fisik dengan kejadian gizi berlebih pada remaja di Jakarta. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan desain cross sectional. Subjek berjumlah 97 remaja yang berdomisili di Jakarta. Jumlah tersebut sudah sesuai perhitungan estimasi minimal sampel dengan rumus uji hipotesis dua proporsi Lemeshow. Teknik penarikan subjek menggunakan purpossive sampling. Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ), Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ), Sleeping Time Quesioner (STQ), Physical Activity Level (PAL) recall merupakan instrumen yang digunakan pada penelitiain ini. Analisis statistik Chi Square atau Fisher’s Exact Test digunakan untuk menganalisis hubungan variabel independen dengan kejadian kegemukan pada remaja. Berdasarkan hasil uji statistik, terdapat hubungan antara frekuensi konsumsi fast food (p=0,036), persentase kontribusi asupan energi (p=0,020), dan persentase kontribusi asupan lemak (p=0,040) dengan kegemukan. Sementara itu, tidak ditemukan hubungan yang signifikan antara durasi tidur (p=0,670), emotional eating (p=0,880), dan aktivitas fisik (p=0,997) dengan kegemukan pada remaja. Kesimpulannya, konsumsi fast food dan asupan energi serta lemak berperan dalam peningkatan risiko kegemukan pada remaja. Oleh karena itu, mengontrol frekuensi dan jumlah konsumsi fast food sangat penting bagi remaja untuk mencegah kegemukan.

Overweight and obesity are major public health concerns with increasing prevalence, particularly among adolescents in urban areas. Jakarta has the highest prevalence of overweight among adolescents aged 16–18 years (19.2%). Overweight occurs when energy intake exceeds the body’s requirements, resulting in excessive fat accumulation and weight gain. High-calorie dietary patterns, including excessive fast-food consumption, inadequate sleep duration, emotional eating behaviors, and low levels of physical activity, are suspected contributors to the rising prevalence of overweight among adolescents. This study aimed to analyze the associations between fast-food consumption, sleep duration, emotional eating, and physical activity and the occurrence of overweight among adolescents in Jakarta. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed. A total of 97 adolescents residing in Jakarta were included, meeting the minimum sample size requirement based on Lemeshow’s two-proportion hypothesis formula. Participants were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ), Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ), Sleeping Time Questionnaire (STQ), and Physical Activity Level (PAL) recall. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test. The results showed significant associations between the frequency of fast-food consumption (p = 0.036), percentage contribution of energy intake (p = 0.020), and percentage contribution of fat intake (p = 0.040) with overweight status. In contrast, sleep duration (p = 0.670), emotional eating (p = 0.880), and physical activity (p = 0.997) were not significantly associated with overweight. In conclusion, fast-food consumption as well as excessive energy and fat intake contribute to an increased risk of overweight among adolescents. Therefore, regulating both the frequency and portion size of fast-food consumption is essential for overweight prevention in this population.

Wasting is a form of acute malnutrition characterized by a child’s body weight being significantly lower than expected for their height. This condition reflects inadequate energy and nutrient intake over a relatively short period and increases the risk of morbidity and mortality among children under five years of age. This study aimed to analyze changes in body weight among wasted toddlers following an intervention using brownies made from mung bean flour and purple sweet potato. The study was conducted in two stages. The first stage involved the development of a brownie formula using a non-factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The second stage employed a quantitative quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention in increasing body weight among wasted toddlers. The study subjects were wasted toddlers aged 12–49 months residing in the working area of Merdeka Community Health Center, Palembang City. Samples were selected using simple random sampling, with a total of 30 toddlers, based on the minimum sample size calculation according to Lemeshow (1997). The intervention consisted of administering 100 grams of mung bean flour and purple sweet potato brownies daily for 14 consecutive days. The brownies were provided every day and consumed under supervision to ensure complete intake. The results showed that the mean body weight of toddlers before the intervention was 10.65 kg, which increased to 10.82 kg after the intervention, with an average weight gain of 0.22 kg. Statistical analysis using a paired t-test demonstrated a significant difference before and after the intervention (p < 0.001), indicating that the provision of mung bean flour and purple sweet potato brownies had a significant effect on increasing body weight among wasted toddlers.
