Monitoring the development of early childhood is a family task, but not all families can carry out this task optimally. Busyness, lack of knowledge, and the socio-economic condition of the family are factors that do not support this effort. Therefore, monitoring children's growth is coordinated through the role of the community through the Posyandu program. Posyandu, as one of the community-based health efforts, has a vital role in providing convenience to the community in obtaining essential services. To achieve this goal requires the role of a Posyandu cadre who has the knowledge and skills in monitoring child growth and development. The method of activity is carried out by providing material for child development and practicum on how to assess and measure children's growth and development. The results of activities were measured through differences in the results of the pre-test and post-test, as well as the results of observations when cadres provided services during Posyandu implementation. The results of the activity showed that the training in monitoring the growth and development of children under five given to Posyandu cadres could increase the knowledge and skills of cadres in providing services at Posyandu related to monitoring the growth and development of children under five.

Background The prevalence of underweight children in West Nusa Tenggara is as high as 30%. This region had the third largest number of stunted children in the country. The local government has attempted to tackle this problem by providing supplementary food to underweight children.Objective To assess the success of the community-based food supplementation program onimproving children’s growth in West Nusa Tenggara.Methods We conducted a prospective cohort study for 10 months in Paruga District Primary Health Care Unit, Bima, West Nusa Tenggara, in year 2012. Children were given supplementary food according to the Ministry of Health’s guidelines, consisting of formula milk, high calorie biscuits, and a 60-day supply of eggs, estimated to be sufficient to normalize their weights, for their age and sex. A child’s weight and height were measured every 3 months and the results plotted on WHO growth charts for weight-for-age, height-for-age, and weight-for-height (nutritional status). Z-score <-3 SD was classified as severely underweight, severely stunted, or severely wasted, respectively; Z-score between -2 and -3 SD was classified as underweight, stunted, or wasted, respectively; and Z–score >-2 SD was classified as normal for all three categories.Results Twenty-five children under five years of age participated in this study. Subjects’ median age was 29 months. None of the subjects had normal weight-for-age Z-score at the beginning of the study. Eighty-four percent (21/25) of the subjects were severely underweight. Only 8% (2/25) of the subjects had normal height-for-age Z-score and 88% (22/25) of them were severely stunted. However, 80% (20/25) of subjects had normal nutritional status (weight-for-height). Changes in weight-for-age Z-score varied throughout the study. The highest median score was in the tenth month of follow up (-3.82). The highest median height-for-age score and weight-for-height score were also in the last month of follow up. At the end of the study, only one subject had normal weight-for-age score (4%) and none of the subjects had normal height-for-age scores. Conclusion The 10-month supplementary food program for under-five children in the Paruga District is not successful in improving body weight and height.

Data from Kepanjen Health Center in Malang Regency in 2017, especially in the Cempokomulyo village, shows that 5.3% of children under five suffer from severe malnutrition and 3.5% suffer from malnutrition. While in the Jatirejoyoso village shows that 3.4% of toddlers experience malnutrition. One of the factors that influence the incidence of malnutrition is the lack of access to care and information for mothers of infants and the lack of initiative and skills of posyandu cadres. The provision of information, motivation and skills needed by cadres and mothers of children under five are considered as one step in nutrition recovery. The purpose of this activity is to increase the knowledge and skills of cadres and mothers of toddlers. Nutrition training was given to cadres and mothers of toddlers, namely measuring nutritional status, feeding infants and children, breastfeeding practices, detection of growth and development of nutrition recovery at the posyandu level. The results of this activity indicate that there is an increase in the knowledge of cadres and mothers of infants, at pretest 10% of knowledge is good and 5% of knowledge is lacking and at the time of posttest it is 85% of knowledge is good and 15% is sufficient. In addition, there was an increase in the skills of cadres and mothers of toddlers, at pretest 75% of their skills were sufficient and 25% of their skills were lacking and at posttest they were 90% of good skills and 10% were sufficient. Thus it can be concluded that there is an increase in the knowledge and skills of cadres and mothers of toddlers to be mostly good. Posyandu cadres and toddler mothers are expected to be able to carry out nutritional recovery at the follow-up phase at the posyandu level.

Study Results

Abstract Background Malnutrition is the most common cause of mortality and morbidity of children in low and middle income countries including Ethiopia and household wealth index shares the highest contribution. Thus, in this study it is aimed to conduct bivariate binary logistic regression analysis by accounting the possible dependency of child composite index anthropometric failure and household wealth index. Methods In this study the data from Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS) 2016 involved 9411 under five children was considered. Child Composite Index Anthropometric Failure (CIAF) measures the aggregate child undernourished derived from the conventional anthropometric indices (stunting, underweight and wasting). The correlation between CIAF and wealth index was checked and significant correlation found. To address the dependency between the two outcome variables bivariate binary logistic regression was used to analyze the determinants of child CAIF and household wealth index jointly. Results Study results show that region, place of residence, religion, education level of women and husband/partner, sex of child, source of drinking water, household size and number of under five children in the household, mothers body mass index, multiple birth and anemia level of child had significant association with child CIAF. Female children were 0.82 times less likely to be CIAF compared to male and multiple birth children were more likely to be CIAF compared to single birth. Children from Oromia, Somalie, Gambela, SNNPR, Harari and Addis Ababa region were 0.6, 0.56, 0.67, 0.52, 0.6 and 0.44 times less likely to be CIAF compared to Tigray. A household from rural area were 15.49 times more likely poor compared to a household. The estimated odds of children whose mothers attended primary, and secondary and higher education was 0.82, and 0.52 times respectively the estimated odds of children from mothers who had never attended formal education. Conclusion The prevalence of children with composite index anthropometric failure was high and closely tied with the household wealth index. Among the determinants, region, religion, family education level, and anemia level of child were statistically significant determinants of both CIAF and household wealth index. Thus, the authors recommend to concerned bodies and policymakers work on household wealth index to reduce the prevalence of child composite anthropometric failure.

Abstract The observed researcher: opportunities and challenges for observational research among corporate investigators This contribution discusses observational research within the context of corporate investigations. Corporate investigators are themselves keen observers of human behavior, and as such, observation of these professionals results in an interesting researcher-participant dynamic. By playing with (assumed and ascribed) roles, much information can be gathered about the daily reality of corporate investigators and how they experience this. Building trust is both essential and challenging because of professional skepticism, however, once trust was established, participants actively contributed to the research. By assuming ignorance or, conversely, knowledge in a dynamic manner, the researcher was able to make use of the roles ascribed to her based on age, gender and education level.

Riwayat pemberian Air Susu Ibu (ASI), karakteristik ibu dan anak serta pola asuh berpengaruh terhadap kecerdasan anak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui proporsi tingkat kecerdasan anak, riwayat pemberian ASI, karakteristik ibu dan anak, serta faktor dominan yang berhubungan dengan tingkat kecerdasan anak pada siswa SDSN Pekayon Jaya VI Kota Bekasi. Penelitian kuantitatif dengan desain potong lintang dengan metode systematic random sampling dengan jumlah sampel sebesar 166 responden (siswa/i yang berumur 7 - 9 tahun) beserta ibunya. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Mei 2013. Pada siswa dilakukan tes kecerdasan menggunakan tes Raven sedangkan ibunya mengisi kuesioner. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tingkat kecerdasan rendah 6%, rata-rata 36,7%, dan tinggi 57,2%. Variabel yang berhubungan dengan kecerdasan adalah durasi pemberian ASI dan pendidikan ibu. Pendidikan ibu adalah faktor dominan terhadap kecerdasan, bahwa ibu yang berpendidikan tinggi berpeluang mempunyai anak dengan kecerdasan tinggi yaitu 3,556 kali lebih besar dibandingkan ibu berpendidikan rendah setelah dikontrol variabel durasi ASI. Untuk Dinas Pendidikan Kota Bekasi agar menyelenggarakan berbagai aktivitas seperti seminar/pelatihan/konseling bagi orang tua murid tentang pentingnya peran orangtua terhadap tumbuh kembang anak.Breastfeeding history, mother and children characteristics, and child care are considered influential on child intellegence. This study aimed to determine the proportion of exclusive breastfeeding, the level of childrens intellegence, mother and children characteristics, the relationship between duration of breastfeeding with the level of students intellegence. This research used a cross-sectional design and through systematic random sampling with a sample size of 166 respondents (students aged 7 - 9 years old) and their mothers. The intellegence was tested using the Raven test while their mothers were interviewed. The results showed that the level of childrens intellegence was high (57.2%), average (36.7%), and low (6%). Those variables which related to the intellegence level were duration of breastfeeding and the level of mothers education. The mothers education level is one of the factors which has higher effect, againts the childrens intellegence. Those mothers who have high level education will have probability 3,556 to have their children with high level intellegence (after controlling the duration breastfeeding).
