Stunting has long-term impacts on the quality of human resources and is related not only to nutritional intake but also to maternal caregiving practices. This study aims to explore maternal caregiving practices in preventing stunting in infants and toddlers in Kolaka District, Kolaka Regency, Southeast Sulawesi. This qualitative study, using a descriptive phenomenological design, involved 15 mothers with children aged 0-59 months, selected purposively. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis with triangulation and member checking to ensure data validity. Five main themes were identified: the meaning of a healthy child, breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices, health service utilization, socio-cultural influences, and economic barriers and adaptive strategies. Mothers tend to assess their children's health based on their activity levels, while nutritional practices are influenced by economic conditions and family support. Stunting prevention is multidimensional and therefore requires a holistic and contextual approach involving families and health workers.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease with an increasing prevalence due to low health literacy and lack of physical activity. This study aimed to determine the effect of health education and physical activity on reducing blood glucose levels among patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus at Bakam Public Health Center. The research employed a pretest–posttest design with a total of 33 respondents selected through total sampling. The intervention consisted of health education on diabetes management and a physical activity program in the form of a 30-minute exercise session conducted once a week for two weeks. Data were collected using a knowledge questionnaire and blood glucose measurements taken before and after the intervention. The normality test showed that the blood glucose data were not normally distributed (pre = 0.021; post = 0.015), thus the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was applied for analysis. The results indicated an increase in respondents’ knowledge after receiving health education and a significant reduction in blood glucose levels from an average of 217.58 mg/dL before the intervention to 181.21 mg/dL after the intervention (p = 0.000). Physical activity also contributed to reducing blood glucose levels, although differences between activity intensities were not significant. Therefore, it can be concluded that combining health education with physical activity is effective as a non-pharmacological effort to lower blood glucose levels among Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients in primary healthcare settings.

Uji Kualitatif Kandungan Formalin Pada Mie Basah di Pasar Induk Jakabaring Palembang Tahun 2026

2026-08-04T06:36:29+00:00

Fresh noodles are a staple food widely consumed by Indonesians because they are convenient and readily available. Their high water content makes fresh noodles prone to spoilage, leading to the continued misuse of formalin as an illegal preservative. The use of formalin in food is prohibited because it is toxic and poses a potential health risk to consumers. This study aims to qualitatively identify the presence of formalin in fresh noodles sold at the Jakabaring Central Market in Palembang as an indicator of food safety. The study employed a descriptive laboratory design. The research was conducted on May 25, 2026, using 13 samples of fresh noodles obtained via total sampling from vendors at the Jakabaring Central Market in Palembang. Formalin testing was performed qualitatively using 0.1 N potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) reagent. A sample was considered positive if the purple color of the 0.1 N KMnO₄ solution changed to clear, orange, or brownish-yellow. The data were analyzed descriptively and presented as frequencies and percentages. All wet noodle samples tested showed a color change in the 0.1 N KMnO₄ reagent and were therefore deemed positive for formalin. Of the 13 samples analyzed—with one repeat test conducted—all 13 samples (100%) tested positive for formalin. These findings indicate that food products that do not meet food safety requirements are still in circulation, necessitating increased oversight by relevant agencies as well as education for producers and the public regarding the dangers of using formalin in food.
