Nur Ayun R. Yusuf — 2024-12-22

Stunting is a condition in which toddlers have a height or length below the standard for their age. Stunting in toddlers is a chronic nutritional problem, and one of the reasons for the high prevalence of stunting is the lack of KADARZI (nutritionally aware families) behaviors. This study aims to determine the relationship between KADARZI behaviors and the incidence of stunting among toddlers aged 24-59 months in the working area of Telaga Jaya Health Center. This research is a quantitative study with an analytic survey design using a crosssectional approach. The population consists of mothers and toddlers aged 24-59 months in Telaga Jaya Health Center's working area, with 596 toddlers. The sampling technique used is stratified random sampling, with a total sample size of 120 respondents. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test with a questionnaire as the instrument. The study results showed a significant P-value = 0.000 (Asymp. Sig 2-tailed) with ? = 0.05. The conclusion is that there is a relationship between KADARZI behaviors and the incidence of stunting among toddlers aged 24-59 months in the working area of Telaga Jaya Health Center.

Rezyta Falasiva — 2025-01-01

Constipation is a health problem that affects the quality of life of individuals. Gender, fiber intake, fluid intake and physical activity are factors that affect the incidence of constipation. Employees with busy or irregular working hours often have unhealthy lifestyles, including a low-fiber diet, low drinking water consumption and high sedentary behavior. This study aims to analyze the relationship between fiber intake, fluid intake, and physical activity with the incidence of constipation in employees. A total of 130 employees aged 20 – 60 years, who had no history of illness and medication that can cause constipation and were not pregnant, were included in this study. Fiber and fluid intake data were collected using the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) while data on physical activity was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). The diagnosis of functional constipation was determined using the diagnostic criteria from ROME III. The analysis was carried out using the Chi-square test and the significance level was 95%. This study found a relationship between fiber intake, fluid intake, and physical activity with the incidence of functional constipation (p=0.03; p=0.05; p<0.001), but did not find a relationship between sex and the incidence of functional constipation (p=0.18). Functional constipation in employees can be affected by fiber intake, fluid intake and physical activity of the employee, but not by gender

Application of the Make a Match Learning Model in Innovation Development Learning Card on Improving the Knowledge of Nursing Students Facing the National Competency Exam

Nastain Abubakar Pattimura — 2025-01-28

Introduction: Cooperative learning, one of the widely applied active pedagogical methods, aims to improve students' abilities. This approach is based on the concept that learning occurs in a social context, involving interaction between individuals, the environment, and peers. However, research on this active method is still limited, especially in the context of higher education and communication. Research shows that cooperative learning can improve students' social and intellectual development, help them hone their interpersonal skills, and increase their sense of accomplishment, productivity, and psychological well-being. Methods: This study used a quantitative approach with a pre-test and post-test One Group Design experimental design, involving 104 respondents and a total sampling technique. The instruments used for data collection are learning cards and knowledge questionnaires. Results: The study showed a significant difference in students' knowledge before and after applying the "Make a Match" learning model using learning cards, with an average overall score of 3596, a standard deviation of 4654, and a p-value < 0.05. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the "Make a Match" learning model that uses learning cards is more effective in increasing student knowledge than methods that do not.

This study's objective is to compare the effectiveness of remote and face-to-face ruqyah on patient stress levels at Ruqyah Nurul Barokah. The quasiexperimental study design employed a two-group pretest-posttest design, and the instrument utilized was the Perceived Stress Scale 10 (PSS-10) questionnaire. The population studied comprised all patients of Ruqyah Nurul Barokah, with the research sample consisting of patients who experienced stress. A comprehensive data analysis was conducted using various statistical tests, including normality, homogeneity, Mann-Whitney U, and Wilcoxon tests. These tests were employed to ascertain the statistical significance of the two distinct ruqyah methods. The study revealed a substantial discrepancy between the pretest and posttest outcomes. Specifically, the Mann-Whitney U test yielded a Z value of -4,495, with a p-value of 0.000, indicating a statistically significant difference. A subsequent comparison between remote and face-toface ruqyah on stress levels yielded Z values of -3.413 and -3.414, respectively, with a p-value of 0.001. This finding indicates that face-to-face ruqyah had a more significant impact than remote ruqyah.
