The implementation of IYCF key actions and intervention in Indonesia was categorized in a poor situation. It is interesting to assess the knowledge and practices of caregivers on infant and young child feeding (IYCF) to children age 0-23 months in Bekasi municipality which couple years ago their posyandu cadres received education intervention and showed improvement on communication about safe complementary feeding competencies. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in in selected areas/villages of Bekasi. Information on IYCF knowledge and practices were collected from 636 children age 0-23 months and caregivers. It was found that 76.9% caregivers had good IYCF knowledge and 32% had appropriate practices. Fathers, mothers, Non-Maternal Caregivers? education level and also employment status were associated with good knowledge. Message delivery on the IYCF recommendation should be given regularly, frequently and targeted not only to caregivers but also other influencing family member. There is also a need to ensure the cadres receive comprehensive training of the latest WHO recommendation."

ABSTRACTMalnutrition is one of the main problems of the world, that is as the cause of 50 infants death. Implementation of supplementary feeding programs PMT by the government as malnutrition prevention. This study aims to evaluate the benefits of PMT programs in infants with malnutrition to nutritional status of children under five. The cross sectional study involved 100 malnourished toddlers who had obtained PMT in Tegal Regency, selected using cluster sampling technique. Nutritional status will be measured by BB TB. The result of the research is the nutritional status of under five children after giving PMT 41 normal, 39 less nutrition and 20 malnutrition. In addition, the provision of appropriate PMT is 13 and not 87 of children under five. While the length of toddlers given PMT 78 of infants given more than equal to 3 months. Based on Chi Square test results showed there is a relationship between PMT with nutritional status p value 0,003 and there is correlation between length of given PMT with nutrient status p value 0,000."

"Kejadian malnutrisi pada balita menjadi perhatian besar karena menyangkut investasi sumber daya manusia. Indonesia menghadapi triple burden status gizi balita yang menjadi beban negara. Berbagaiupaya dilakukan untuk menurunkan prevalensi kurang gizi balita. Growth faltering sebagai indikatorawal risiko terjadinya stunting menjadi titik awal intervensi intensif dilakukan untuk mencegah stunting. Upaya mengatasi growth faltering dilakukan melalui intervensi spesifik terutama pemberian makan bayi dan anak pada baduta. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi efektivitas brief intervention terhadap praktik pemberian makan responsif pada bayi growth faltering usia 6-23 bulan. Desain penelitian ini adalah pre-experimental study dengan sampel 33 responden di kelompok kontrol (mendapatkan intervensi konseling pemberian makan bayi dan anak/PMBA dan kelompok intervensi (mendapatkan intervensi konseling PMBA dan brief intervention). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kelompok yang mendapatkan intervensi cenderung meningkatkan skor total pemberian makan responsif dan skor active feeding, meskipun tidak ditemukan signifikansi (pValue > 0,05); sedangkan pad kelompok kontrol selisih skor menunjukkan penurunan. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa tidak adaperbedaan bermakna antara kelompok yang mendapat intervensi konseling PMBA dengan kelompok yang mendapatkan intervensi PMBA dan brief intervention “Mentari”. Rekomendasi pelayanan menunjukkan bahwa konseling PMBA tetap dapat menjadi intervensi mengubah praktik pemberian makan.

The incidence of malnutrition in children under five is a big concern because it involves investing in human resources. Indonesia faces a triple burden on the nutritional status of children under five. Various efforts were made to reduce the prevalence of malnutrition. Growth faltering as an early indicator of the risk of stunting is the starting point for intensive interventions to prevent stunting. Efforts to overcome growth faltering are carried out through specific interventions, especially infant and young child feeding practices. This study aims to identify the effectiveness of the brief intervention on responsive feeding practices in growth-faltering infants aged 6-23 months. The design of this study was a pre-experimental study with a sample of 33 respondents in the control group (getting infant and young child feeding counselling interventions/IYCF and intervention groups (getting IYCF counselling interventions and brief intervention). The results of this study showed that the group that received the intervention tended to improve the total responsive feeding score and active feeding score, although no significance was found (pValue > 0.05); Meanwhile, in the control group, the difference in scores

showed a decrease. These results showed no significant difference between the group that received IYCF counselling intervention and the group that received IYCF intervention and brief intervention. Service recommendations suggest that IYCF counselling can still be an intervention to change feeding practices."

Less nutrition in children under five in urban communities is associated with low socio-economic status and parental education levels. These problems can form a poor diet, which includes the less frequency and portion of eating, the type of food that has not been varied, and lack of rest. The purpose of writing this scientific paper is to provide an overview of family nursing care through eating and resting patterns. The implementation method used is a case study on three managed families with less nutrition problems in children under five. The leading intervention carried out is making a schedule for eating and resting using the drawings and visuals method. The results of the evaluation showed an increase in consumption of fruits as a snack and an increase in body weight in clients. The drawings and visuals method is recommended to be included in nursing interventions to overcome the problem of less nutrition in children under five."

"Dua tahun pertama kehidupan adalah adalah periode kritis yang menentukan pertumbuhan dan perkembangan anak. Kekurangan gizi selama periode ini dapat menyebabkan perkembangan kognitif yang terhambat, pencapaian pendidikan yang rendah, dan menurunkan produktivitas ekonomi. WHO merekomendasikan bayi diberikan MPASI kaya zat besi untuk menutupi kesenjangan kenaikkan kebutuhan zat besi. Banyak faktor yang telah diyakini mempengaruhi pemberian MPASI, namun masih sangat sedikit penelitian yang mengeksploarasi faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan pemberian MPASI kaya zat besi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui gambaran pemberian MPASI ASI kaya zat besi dan faktor determinannya yang berhubungan dengan pemberian MPASI kaya zat besi pada bayi usia 6-23 bulan di Indonesia tahun 2017. Desain penelitian yang digunakan ialah cross-sectional dengan besar sampel sebanyak 2400 ibu yang memiliki bayi berusia 6-23 bulan di Indonesia. Teknik pengambilan sampel dilakukan secara acak sederhana (random sampling) untuk memilih sampel yang diperlukan. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan SPSS versi 25. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, sebanyak 73,7% bayi berusia 6–23 bulan menerima MPASI kaya zat besi. Tingkat pendidikan ibu [OR = 1,38; 95% CI: 1,035-1,831], akses media digital [OR = 1,44; 95% CI: 1,079-1,922], usia anak [OR = 1,76; 95% CI: 1,453-2,132], tingkat kesejahteraan keluarga [OR = 1,80; 95% CI: 1,409-2,310], dan postnatal care (PNC) [OR = 1,37; 95% CI: 1,117- 1,679] berpengaruh signifikan terhadap pemberian MPASI kaya zat besi. Tingkat kesejahteraan keluarga merupakan prediktor terkuat dalam memberikan MPASI kaya zat besi. Kementerian Kesehatan terus mengoptimalkan program intervensi gizi, khususnya pemberian MPASI kaya zat besi. Kementerian Pertanian disarankan menggalakkan program Rumah Pangan Lestari untuk menjamin ketersediaan makanan kaya zat besi. Fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan disarankan memberikan pelayanan edukasi gizi dan membuat media informasi digital terkait praktik pemberian makan bayi dan anak yang mudah diakses, dipahami, dan menarik untuk dibaca oleh ibu. Ibu sebagai pengasuh utama bayi disarankan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman tentang MPASI kaya zat besi melalui media digital ataupun berkonsultasi dengan tenaga kesehatan.

The first two years of life are critical periods that determine the growth and development of the child. Malnutrition during this period can lead to impairment of cognitive development, lower educational attainment, and decreased economic productivity. WHO recommends infants should be given iron-rich complementary foods to cover the gap in iron demand. Many factors have been believed to influence the practice of complementary feeding, but there are still very few studies that explore factors related to the practice of iron-rich complementary foods. The purpose of this study is to know the proportion of iron-rich complementary foods and its determinant factors related to the practice of iron-rich complementary foods in infants aged 6-23 months in Indonesia in 2017. The research design used is cross-sectional with a sample size of 2400 mothers who have infants aged 6-23 months in Indonesia. Sampling techniques are done with random sampling to select the necessary samples. Data analysis is performed using SPSS version 25. Based on the results of the study, as many as 73.7% of infants aged 6-23 months received iron-rich complementary foods. Maternal education [OR = 1,38;95% CI: 1,035-1,831], digital media access [OR = 1,44; 95% CI: 1,079-1,922] child age [OR = 1,76; 95% CI: 1,453-2,132], family welfare rate [OR = 1,80; 95% CI: 1,409-2,310], and postnatal care (PNC) [OR = 1,37; 95% CI: 1,117-1,679] significantly affect the administration of iron-rich complementary foods. The level of family welfare is the strongest predictor in providing iron-rich complementary foods. The Ministry of Health continues to optimize nutrition intervention programs, especially the provision of iron-rich complementary foods. The Ministry of Agriculture suggests promoting the Sustainable Food House program to ensure the availability of iron-rich foods. Health care facilities are recommended to provide nutrition education services and create digital information media related to infant and child feeding practices that are easily accessible, understood, and interesting to read by mothers. Mothers as the baby's primary caregivers are advised to improve their understanding of iron-rich complementary foods through digital media or consult with a health professional."

Abstract A long term of the economic crisis effect to the negative impact of social lifeaspects, such as the increment of under nutrition problem. One of the hirnerablegroup of under nutrition are the neglected children-Orphanage is a social institution which responsible to neglected children. Thisinstitution have to raised , guide and caring the children become a healthy generation.Providing a balance (nutrition) diet as an imponant fitctor to meet the requirement ofgrowth phase of each child.In line with the economic crisis, we assume that there is a decreasing foodavailability in the orphanage, named PSAA (panti sosial asuhan anak).This study was conducted to investigate the nutritional status and foodconsumption of children in the Jakarta and Tangerang orphanages.The aim of the study is to examined the relationship between energyconsumption and nutritional status included its related factors of children 6 to 18years of ages in Jakarta and Tangerang in 1999.The study was analysed the secondary data from the survey of nutritionalstatus and food consumption at some PSAA which execute by Nutrition Board ofIndonesian Ministry of Health.The design of this study was Cross sectional, 308 respondents were involvedfrom 48 PSAA_ Nutritional status as the dependent variable determined by height forage and weight for age using Z-score. The independent variables which related tonutritional status were: energy consumption status, protein consumption status, lengthof stay in the orphanage, age, and gender.The result of this study shows that the prevalence of protein energymalnutrition (PEM) is 49.7% (height for age) and 32.8% (weight for age). Most ofthe respondents are catagoties as critical consumption, included energy consumption,protein consumption, and iron consumption was 54.5%, 62.0%, and 68.2%respectedly. Significance relationship was found between energy consumption status andnutritional status (OR= 1.7; at p-value=0.000l; 95%Cl: l_3-2.2) using height for ageindices and OR = 2.2 (p=0.0067; 95%Cl: 1_2--3.8) using weight for age indices.Based on weight for age. the risks of respondent who stayed at orphanage for36 months or more to become PEM was 0.59 times (p=0.0325; 95%CI: 0,36--0.95)compared to them whose stayed less then 36 months in the orphanage.The risks of female respondents to become PEM was 0.59 times (p=0.0230;95%Cl:0.38-0.93) using height for age and 0.42 times (p=o.ooo5; 95%CI: 025--O.68) using weight for age compared to male respondents.The result of logistic multiple regression analysis to nutritional status as adependent variable using height for age was finding the regression model as follows:Ln p/l-p : -0.4482 + 0.9090 (energy consumption status) + 0.3129 (proteinconsumption status) - 0.7004 (age) - 0.4208 (gender). While based on weight for age,the regression equation was: ln p/1-p: -0.9249 + 0.91 I6 (energy consumption status)+ 0_5611 (protein consumption status) - O.656l (length of stayed in orphanage) -0.8256 (gender) - 0.3110 (age).Refers to the result of this study, we rocommand to every institution or nongoverment organization (NGO) which relate to orphanage could give theirparticipation, funding and guidance in order to increase the quantity and quality offood consumed by the orphanage child.This study recommend a further study in order to know the real condition ofthis problem especially in others independent variables."

"Nowadays, many children in developing countries are suffering from micro nutrient deficiencies (Lartey et at., 2000b; Zhao et al., 1998; van Stuijvenberg et al, 1999; Sempertegui et at, 1995). And the most prevalent ones are VAD (Vitamin A Deficiency), IDA (Iron Deficiency Anemia), IDD (Iodine Deficiency Disorder), and lately is zinc deficiency (Sandstead, 1991).The causes of micro nutrient deficiencies are varied and include inadequate dietary intakes (Robert et al, 2000), repeated infections (Khanum et al, 1998) and poor bioavailability from foods due to the presence of inhibitors or inadequate intake of dietary enhancers (Berdanier, 1998; Lunnerdal, 2000; de Pee et al, 1998; Donnen et al, 1996; Lartey et al, 2000a).Due to the roles of micronutrients in metabolic process, immune competence and taste acuity (Golden, 1995), previous findings showed that micronutrient deficiencies might impaired growth (Allen, 1994b; Rosado, 1999; Krieger et al, 1986; Simondon et al, 1996; Hambidge, 2000; Golden & Golden, 1981) and immune system (Black, 1998; Khanum et al, 1998; Semba et al, 1993). The reversibility of impairments caused by micronutrient deficiencies depends on the severity, duration, and stage of development. In some cases, micronutrient supplementation can correct the impairment right after a certain period of supplementation. Ninh et al (1996) stated that zinc deficiency among nutritionally deprived children may limit growth because the growth stimulating effects of zinc might be mediated through changes in circulating insulin-like growth factor (IGF). And after 5 months supplementation with daily-10 mg zinc, weight and height of growth-retarded children in supplemented group significantly increased compared to those of placebo group. In Uganda, zinc supplementation had a short-term effect (within 3 months) on weight gain and MUAC increment only among children from the school with the highest socioeconomic status (Kikafunda et al, 1998). Clinical vitamin A deficiency has been associated with poor child growth (Tarwotjo et al, 1992). Study in Zaire among moderately malnourished preschoolers found that high dose vitamin A supplementation (60 mg of oily solution of retinal palmitate, 30 mg if aged <12 months) increased MUAC and weight significantly compared to control group although without deforming at baseline (Donnen et al, 1998). In Indonesia, the intervention using vitamin A-monosodium glutamate did not merely result on increment of serum vitamin A level, but it also increased the linear growth of supplemented children compared to children in control group at every age (Muhilal et al, 1988). Similar with zinc and vitamin A, iron deficiency may also lead to slowing of growth in regarding to the increment of iron demands during periods of rapid growth and the adverse effects of morbidity.

Background: Folate deficiency can cause megaloblastic anemia, a condition that may lead to growth impairments. This study was aimed to assess the correlation between folate intake among infants aged 6–8 months and the relation to infants’ nutritional indicators.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study using the secondary data from a larger study conducted by Ernawati et al. Fifty five subjects of the study were infants aged 6–8 months recruited from several selected community health center in Kampung Melayu during November 2009 to February 2010 who met the study criteria. Data collected among the infants included sex, age, length, weight, and intake of folate based on a 24–hour food recall.

Results: This study documented 98.2% of the subjects have intake lower than the amount recommended in AKG 2004. Nutritional status indicators with Z-score < -2 SD, showed amongst 55 subjects, 9.1% were underweight, 3.6% were stunted and 5.5% were wasted. No significant correlation between folate intake and nutritional status indicators.

Discussion: Despite the insignificant correlation, our findings might be beneficial in describing the early recognition of the effect of a micronutrient intake insuffiency and its potential adverse effect in later life."

"Malnutrisi merupakan masalah besar yang harus dievaluasi lebih lanjut. Tingginya angka malnutrisi di Indonesia mengindikasikan bahwa Pengetahuan, Sikap dan Perilaku/PSP (Knowledge, Attitude and Practice) Ibu terhadap pertumbuhan bayi masih rendah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi korelasi antara Pengetahuan, Sikap dan Perilaku ibu terhadap bayi nya yang berumur 6-8 bulan, serta meningkatkan kualitas hidup bayi. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross sectional dengan menggunakan data sekunder dari penelitian sebelumnya, yang berjudul "Korelasi antara asupan folat dengan kadar folat serum bayi usia 6-8 bulan dan faktor-faktor yang berhubungan di kelurahan Kampung Melayu, Jakarta Timur" oleh Ernawati et al. PSP ibu diperoleh dari sebaran kuesioner dengan menggunakan linkert scale dan status gizi (Tinggi/Umur, Berat/Umur dan Berati/Tinggi) didapatkan dengan dilakukan pengukuran menggunakan alat. Subjek total yang berpartisipasi pada penilitian ini sebanyak 56 bayi. Jumlah bayi laki-laki lebih banyak (63.6%), daibandingkan dengan perempuan (36.4%). Median umur bayi adalah 6.84, yang tertua 8.84 dan termuda 6.08. Dihasilkan data bahwa kebanyakan ibu memiliki skor yang kurang untuk pengetahuan (47.3%) dan perilaku (45.5%). Tetapi, kebanyakan skor sedang untuk sikap (54.5%). Hanya korelasi antara Z-score Tinggi/Umur dengan Perilaku yang menunjukan hasil signifikan dengan korelasi positif (p<0.005; r = 0.261). Hal ini didasarkan bahwa perilaku merupakan bentuk tindakan langsung terhadap pengetahuan dan sikap, yang sangat berdampak baik terhadap pertumbuhan bayi. Penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa pengertian ibu terhadap asuhan bayi pada komunitas target masih rendah. Oleh karena itu, edukasi lebih lanjut dibutuh demi meningkatkan kualitas hidup bayi.

Malnutrition is a huge problem that has to be further evaluated. High level of malnutrition in Indonesia may indicate that the maternal Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) is still low. This research aims to evaluate the correlation between maternal KAP to nutritional status indicator of 6-8 month infant and elevate the quality of an infant’s life. The study design used for this research is cross sectional study as a secondary research part of Medical Research Unit FMUI entitled “Korelasi antara asupan folat dengan kadar folat serum bayi usia 6-8 bulan dan faktor-faktor yang berhubungan di kelurahan Kampung Melayu, Jakarta Timur” by Ernawati et al. The score of maternal KAP were obtained by questionnaires using Linkert-scale given to the mother and the nutritional status (Height/Age, Weight/Age and Height/Weight) was evaluated using measuring equipment. Results of the normality test of the subject using Kolmogorov-smirnov shows p value <0.001. Total subjects participated in this study were 56 infants Male babies participating are higher (63.6%), compared to female (36.4%). The median age of the respondents is 6.84, with the oldest and the youngest are 8.84 moths and 6.08 months respectively. Most of the mothers have poor knowledge (47.3%) and practice (45.5%). However, mothers have more moderate score on attitude (54.5%). The only result that has a significant with a positive correlation was between Height/Age Z-Score and Practice (p<0.005; r = 0.261). Since maternal practice is a direct application of knowledge and attitude, hence it is necessary for baby’s growth. This study showed that understanding the infant care among mothers in the target community is still low. Thus, further education to the mothers is essential to improve infants’ quality of life."
