Praktik Pemberian Makan dan Perawatan Kesehatan Anak di Kelompok Bermain Al Azhar 1

Abstrak - Kekurangan zat gizi pada saat usia balita dapat menghambat pertumbuhan dan perkembangan yang bersifat irreversible dan berdampak pada rendahnya kualitas sumberdaya manusia. Penelitian cross sectional ini bertujuan menilai praktik pemberian makan dan perawatan kesehatan anak di Kelompok Bermain Al Azhar 1. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan Maret-November 2019 di Kelompok Bermain Al Azhar 1, Kebayoran Baru, Jakarta Selatan. Data primer diperoleh melalui wawancara menggunakan kuesioner. Pengukuran berat badan menggunakan timbangan digital, sedangkan pengukuran tinggi badan menggunakan microtoise. Subjek penelitian dipilih secara purposive sampling terdiri atas 26 ibu dan balita usia 13-59 bulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hampir sebagian besar subjek memiliki status gizi yang normal berdasarkan indeks berat badan menurut umur (BB/U), tinggi badan menurut umur (TB/U), dan berat badan menurut tinggi badan (BB/TB) berturut-turut sebesar 88%, 92%, dan 84%. Namun demikian, masih ditemukan subjek yang tergolong memiliki status gizi kurang (4%), gizi lebih (8%), pendek (4%), kurus (4%), dan gemuk (12%). Lebih dari separuh orangtua subjek tergolong memiliki praktik pemberian makan dan perawatan kesehatan yang baik yaitu berturut-turut sebesar 60% dan 84%. Peran ibu dan anggota keluarga lain yang sehari-hari bersama balita masih perlu ditingkatkan dalam memberikan contoh praktik pemberian makan dan perawatan kesehatan yang baik pada anak. Abstract – Nutritional deficiencies at the age of under five can inhibit irreversible growth and development and have an impact on the poor quality of human resources. This cross-sectional study aims to assess the practice of child feeding and health care in the Al Azhar 1 Play Group. The study was conducted in March-November 2019 in the Al Azhar 1 Play Group, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta. Primary data obtained through interviews using a questionnaire. Bodyweight measurements using digital scales, while height measurements using a microtome. The research subjects were selected by purposive sampling consisting of 26 mothers and toddlers aged 13-59 months. The results showed that most of the subjects had normal nutritional status based on body weight index according to age (BB/U), height by age (TB / U), and weight by height (BB/TB) respectively by 88%, 92%, and 84%. However, still found subjects classified as having poor nutritional status (4%), overnutrition (8%), short (4%), thin (4%), and fat (12%). More than half of the parents of subjects classified as having good feeding and health care practices are 60% and 84%, respectively. The role of mothers and other family members still needs to be improved in providing examples of good feeding practices and health care for children.Keywords - Toddlers, Feeding practices, Health care, Nutritional status

The aim of the present study was to explore the nature, extent and probable causes of nutritional deficiencies among children with disabilities living in Dharavi, a slum in Mumbai, India. A cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate whether the nutritional status of children with disabilities, aged 2–6 years (n141), was worse than that of non-disabled sibling controls (n122) and neighbour controls (n162). Data on food patterns, anthropometry, micronutrient status and feeding difficulties reported by parents were collected. The mean weight for age of the children with disabilities (−2·44 (sd 1·39)Zscores;n120) was significantly lower (P<0·05) compared with the sibling (−1·70 (sd 1·20)Zscores;n109) and neighbour (−1·83 (sd 1·290)Zscores;n162) control groups. The children with disabilities had significantly lower (P<0·05) mean haemoglobin levels (92 (sd 23) g/l;n134) compared with siblings (102 (sd 18) g/l;n103) and neighbours (99 (sd 18) g/l;n153). Relative risk (RR) analysis indicated that the disabled children with feeding difficulties were significantly more likely (P<0·05) to be malnourished, by the indicator of weight for age (RR 1·1; 95 % CI 1·08, 1·20) compared with the disabled children without a feeding difficulty. They were also significantly more likely to be malnourished using the indicators of height for age (RR 1·3; 95 % CI 1·19, 1·43) and weight for height (RR 2·4; 95 % CI 1·78, 3·23) compared with the disabled children without a feeding difficulty. Feeding difficulties were identified as a risk factor for vulnerability to inadequate nutritional status among children with disabilities.

A baixa qualidade da alimentação e o sedentarismo representam riscos para o acúmulo de gordura corporal e desenvolvimento de doenças já na juventude. O objetivo do estudo foi investigar o consumo alimentar e o estado nutricional de alunos do curso de Enfermagem por meio de atividade prática em uma disciplina curricular relacionada à nutrição. Trata-se de um estudo transversal feito com as informações obtidas durante o desenvolvimento de uma atividade da disciplina denominada “Aspectos nutricionais na assistência de enfermagem”, na qual participaram 76 estudantes maiores de 18 anos. As informações nutricionais foram obtidas por meio de entrevista em pares, registro de um padrão alimentar e aplicação de um Questionário de Frequência Alimentar. Os integrantes do estudo eram na maioria mulheres (80,3%) e a idade média da amostra foi de 25,3 ± 7,3 anos. Muitos indivíduos apresentaram ingestão hídrica insuficiente, a qual se correlacionou negativamente com o consumo de refrigerante (r= -0,254 p=0,029). 48,8% da amostra estava acima do peso corporal e 75% eram sedentários. O fracionamento alimentar foi considerado satisfatório, mas o consumo de frutas e hortaliças foi abaixo das recomendações (0,6±0,9; 1,7±1,2 porções). Houve alto consumo de açúcar e gordura, identificado por itens, como o refrigerante e alimentos fritos. Acredita-se que a disciplina relacionada à nutrição, presente na grade curricular do curso, possa servir como uma importante ferramenta de estímulo a melhores hábitos de vida, partindo de práticas alimentares mais adequadas.Palavras-chave: Consumo alimentar. Estado nutricional. Estudantes. EVALUATION OF FOOD CONSUMPTION AND NUTRITIONAL STATUS OF UNDERGRADUATE NURSING STUDENTS ABSTRACT: The poor quality of diet and the sedentary lifestyle increase the risk of body fat accumulation and the development of diseases as early as the youth. The objective of the study was to investigate the food consumption and the nutritional status of students of the Nursing course through practical activity in a curricular discipline related to nutrition. This is a cross-sectional study carried out with the information obtained during the development of an activity of the discipline called "Nutritional Aspects in Nursing Care", in which 76 students older than 18 years participated. The nutritional information was obtained by a paired interview, recording a food pattern and applying a Food Frequency Questionnaire. The study participants were mostly female (80.3%) and the mean age of the sample was 25.3 ± 7.3 years. Many subjects presented insufficient water intake, which correlated negatively with the soda consumption (r = -0.254 p = 0.029). 48.8% of the sample was overweight and 75% were sedentary. The number of meals was considered satisfactory, but consumption of fruits and vegetables was below the recommendations (0.6 ± 0.9, 1.7 ± 1.2 portions). There was high consumption of sugar and fat, identified by items such as soda and fried foods. It is believed that the discipline related to nutrition, present in the curriculum of the course, can serve as an important tool to stimulate better life habits, starting from more appropriate eating practices.Keywords: Food consumption.

Background Nutritional deficiencies are generally associated with increased risk and severity of tuberculosis. This study investigated the nutritional status, knowledge, and attitudes of tuberculosis (TB) patients receiving treatment in the Tema Metropolis. Method A cross-sectional design was used to collect data on the nutritional knowledge, attitude, and status of TB patients. Nutritional status was analysed using World Health Organization’s formula for body mass index. Pearson’s chi-square and logistic regression models were used to assess associations between predictor and outcome variables. All statistical analyses were considered significant at p-values < 0.05. Result The prevalence of malnutrition among TB patients was 39.7%, 14.4%, and 4.8% for underweight, overweight, and obesity respectively. There was a high (61.0%) knowledge of nutrition among the patients. Also, 65.8% had good attitude towards nutrition. There were significant associations between normal nutritional status and age of the TB patients (p = 0.041), highest educational level attained (p = 0.036), employment status (p = 0.019), status of alcohol intake (p = 0.031), number of months on TB treatment (p = 0.021), and attitude towards nutrition (p = 0.028). Conclusion There was a reasonable nutrition-related knowledge and attitude towards nutrition among the TB patients. However, that did not reflect on their nutritional status. We recommend continuing education on smoking cessation, avoidance of harmful use of alcohol, and the establishment of food aid and other livelihood intervention programs for TB patients.

OBJECTIVE: Pharmaceutical assistance is essential in health care and a right of citizens according to Brazilian law and drug policies. The study purpose was to evaluate aspects of pharmaceutical assistance in public primary health care. METHODS: A cross-sectional study using WHO drug indicators was carried out in Brasília in 2001. From a random sample of 15 out of 62 centers thirty exiting patients per center were interviewed. RESULTS: Only 18.7% of the patients fully understood the prescription, 56.3% could read it, 61.2% of the prescribed drugs were actually dispensed, and mean duration of pharmaceutical dispensing was 53.2 seconds. Each visit lasted on average 9.4 minutes. Of prescribed and non-dispensed drugs, 85.3% and 60.6% were on the local essential drug list (EDL) respectively. On average 83.2% of 40 essential drugs were in stock, and only two centers had a pharmacist in charge of the pharmacy. The mean number of drugs per prescription was 2.3, 85.3% of prescribed drugs were on the EDL, 73.2% were prescribed using the generic denomination, 26.4% included antibiotics and 7.5% were injectables. The most prescribed groups were: cardiovascular drugs (26.8%), anti-infective drugs (13.1%), analgesics (8.9%), anti-asthmatic drugs (5.8%), anti-diabetic drugs (5.3%), psychoactive drugs (3.7%), and combination drugs (2.7%). CONCLUSIONS: Essential drugs were only moderately available almost 30 years after the first Brazilian EDL was formulated. While physician use of essential drugs and generic names was fairly high, efficiency was impaired by the poor quality of pharmaceutical care, resulting in very low patient understanding and insufficient guarantee of supply, particularly for chronic diseases.
