Downward Spiral

Malnutrition is both one of the consequences of social injustice and one of the factors contributing to its maintenance. It bears hardest on small children, contributing to the massive death toll among the young, and together with other adverse environmental factors it interferes with the adequate growth and development of the survivors. It reduces their capacity to learn during childhood and to earn during adulthood. The inevitable result is a downward spiral in which poor malnourished parents produce malnourished children who in turn will become poor and malnourished parents.

Home Visiting Program

The development of 16 children who were hospitalized for severe malnutrition and participated in a home-visiting program of psychosocial stimulation was compared with that of two other groups who were also hospitalized but received standard medical care only: severely malnourished group (n = 18) and an adequately nourished one (n = 20). All groups were assessed regularly on the Griffiths Mental Development Scales and the Stanford-Binet test. Both groups of malnourished children were markedly behind the adequately nourished group on admission to the hospital and the group that received no intervention showed little sign of catching up. The intervention group caught up to the adequately nourished group in 2 years. This report covers the third year of home-visiting and the 3 years following its cessation. The intervention group showed a decline in three of the five Griffiths subscales. However, they retained a marked advantage over the nonintervention group of malnourished children on the Stanford-Binet test until the end of follow-up, showing no further decline in the last year. For height, both malnourished groups failed to catch up to the adequately nourished group. It was concluded that a relatively simple intervention can benefit the development of severely malnourished children.

<p><strong><em>Background:</em></strong><em> Stimulation is a very important requirement for growth and development. Lack of stimulation can cause developmental disorders such as speech, language, and disorders of gross motor and fine motor, even developmental disorders that persist. </em><strong><em>Purpose:</em></strong><em> The study aims to determine the implementation of family psychosocial stimulation of children aged 48 - 60 months in PAUD Pertiwi Kota Metro. <strong>Method</strong></em><strong><em>s</em></strong><strong><em>:</em></strong><em> The design of this study is descriptive to describe the implementation of parents doing psychosocial stimulation of their children. The population in this study were all group A students aged 48 - 60 years in PAUD Pertiwi Kota Metro with a sample of 59 people. The instrument used in this study was a home inventory questionnaire for family psychosocial stimulation variables. Data collected was carried out by univariate analysis to describe family psychosocial stimulation. with a frequency distribution table. <strong>Results:</strong> The study showed that family psychosocial stimulation carried out by parents in children aged 48-60 years in PAUD Pertiwi Kota Metro contained 55.9% good categories, 42.4 adequate categories and only 1.7% less categories. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Psychosocial stimulation by the family towards children has a tendency to be good, but there is still something lacking and sufficient. There is a need for socialization efforts to parents the importance of stimulation of child development.</em></p>

Keberhasilan pembangunan suatu bangsa dipengaruhi oleh kualitas Sumber Daya Manusia yang secara esensil ditentukan oleh status gizi. Sekitar 1,3 juta anak dengan gizi buruk diperkirakan berpotensi kehilangan IQ sampai 22 juta poin. Kekurangan gizi pada usia dini diawal daur kehidupan terbukti memberikan dampak yang berat. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui insiden kekurangan gizi pada baduta dan pasca baduta serta pengaruhnya pada prestasi belajar numerik dan verbal pada anak usia sekolah dasar. Penelitian dengan desain kohort retrospektif yang dilakukan pada 1200 sampel anak ini memperlihatkan hasil yang sangat konsisten mendukung penelitian sebelumnya. Semakin dini seorang anak menderita gizi kurang, semakin besar risiko untuk mengalami prestasi belajar yang rendah. Risiko prestasi verbal yang rendah pada anak usia baduta dengan gizi kurang dan setelah baduta adalah 6,5 dan 5 kali lebih tinggi daripada yang dengan gizi baik. Risiko prestasi numerik yang rendah pada anak dengan gizi kurang ketika usia baduta dan setelah baduta 25 dan 15 kali lebih besar daripada yang gizi baik. Prestasi verbal sangat berfluktuasi sesuai dengan status gizi individu sepanjang hayat. Sebaliknya, prestasi numeri, terlihat hanya dipengaruhi oleh status gizi pada usia balita. Gizi yang baik pada anak baduta dan pasca baduta dapat mencegah prestasi belajar yang rendah 44% dan 30%, tetapi untuk potensi belajar numerik, masing-masing dapat mencegah 80% dan 63%. Skor verbal sangat dipengaruhi oleh kondisi atau fluktuasi status gizi pada daur kehidupan, tetapi skor numerik hanya dipengaruhi status gizi individu pada lima tahun pertama kehidupan.Kata kunci : Status gizi, prestasi belajarAbstractThe success of national development is determined by availability of qualified human resources, which is essentially determined by nutritional status. About 1.3 milion malnourished children are predicted to lost around 22 million IQ points. Early malnutrition is known to have a great impact on later growth and development. The objective of this study is to investigate the incidence of malnutrition among children age under two years and post two years and their effect on verbal and numeric learning performance. This retrospective cohort study which was conducted on 1200 children shows consistent results that the earlier a child experienced malnutrition the lower the performance. The risk of having low verbal performance among malnourished children were 25 (children age under two years) and 15 times (children more than 2 years) greater compared to those of normally nourished children. Verbal performance is related to longlife nutrition status while numeric performance is more related to the first five-years of life. Good nutrition status could prevent low verbal performance of 44% and 30% for children under 2 year of age and children more than 2 year, respectively and help prevent 80% and 63% of low numeric performance.Keywords: Nutritional status, learning performance

The effect of adding psychosocial stimulation to the treatment of severely malnourished children was studied. The study period covered children from the time they left the hospital to 24 months later. The children's developmental levels (DQs) were compared with those of two other groups who were in the hospital—an adequately nourished group with diseases other than malnutrition, and a severely malnourished group who received standard hospital care only. The children receiving intervention had structured play sessions in the hospital and were visited weekly for 2 years after returning home. During the visits paraprofessionals showed mothers how to continue structured play with their children. The malnourished children who did not receive intervention showed a marked deficit in developmental level compared with that of control children throughout the study. The control children showed a decline in developmental level with age, which is characteristic of disadvantaged children. The children receiving intervention showed marked improvements and by 24 months were ahead of the children who did not receive intervention in every subscale and were ahead of the adequately nourished children in two subscales. Both groups of malnourished children remained behind the control children in nutritional status and locomotor development.

ABSTRACT Background Undernutrition and poor cognitive development affect many children in developing countries. Good nutrition and health care are essential for optimal child development and growth. Objectives We assessed the impact of peer counseling combined with psychosocial stimulation on feeding practices and child growth and development in slums in Bangladesh. Methods We performed a community-based cluster randomized controlled trial in selected slums; 350 mother–infant pairs were allocated to receive peer counseling on feeding practices plus psychosocial stimulation (PC + PCS; n = 175) or usual health messages (control; n = 175) using restricted randomization. Data were collected at enrollment and 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 12 mo after delivery. We collected data on infant and young child feeding practices and anthropometric measurements from birth until 12 mo to assess the main outcomes, including feeding practices and growth. We used the Bayley Scale III at 12 mo to assess child development. The effects of the PC + PCS intervention were assessed by using regression models. Results More mothers in the PC + PCS group than in the control group reported early initiation of breastfeeding (in the first hour: 89% compared with 78%, respectively; P < 0.05) and exclusive breastfeeding at 5 mo (73% compared with 27%, respectively; P < 0.001). Peer counseling had positively impacted infant length gain at 12 mo (P < 0.005). Children in the PC + PCS group were found to be more socially and emotionally active compared with controls at 12 mo (standardized score: 0.165 compared with −0.219, respectively; P < 0.05). Conclusion Combining peer counseling with psychosocial stimulation had positive effects on infant feeding practices and growth at 12 mo and on the social–emotional development of young children. This trial was registered at clinicaltrial.gov as NCT03040375.
