ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL SUPPORT ON DEPRESSION AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Depression is one of the mental health disorders that is increasingly experienced by university students. Social support is believed to help reduce the level of depression through providing emotional, informational, and instrumental assistance. This study aims to analyze the relationship between social support and depression in university students in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY). This research design is quantitative with a cross-sectional approach, involving 596 students from 11 universities selected by proportional random sampling. The research instruments included the Oslo Social Support Scale (OSS-3) to measure social support and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) to measure depression levels. Data analysis was conducted using the Spearman Test. The results showed that students\u27 social support scores were included in high social support (mean=9.73), while depression scores were in the low category (mean=4.78). Statistical analysis showed a weak but significant positive relationship between social support and depression (r=-0.221; p=0.000). The regression test shows that if the social support score decreases by 2 points, the depression score will increase by 1 point. It is hoped that the results of this study can be the basis for intervention in increasing social support to prevent depression in college students

Level of Community Participation in Efforts to Reduce the Incidence of Diarrhea in Toddlers in Palu City

Diarrheal disease remains a significant public health problem, especially in children under five in developing countries with limited access to clean water and proper sanitation. In Indonesia, especially in Palu City, the incidence of diarrhea among children under five is still high and is related to the low knowledge and practice of clean and healthy living in the community. This study aimed to describe the level of community participation in efforts to reduce the incidence of diarrhea in children under five in Palu City. The study used descriptive quantitative method and was conducted from September 2020 to May 2021 in eight health centers representing all areas of Palu City. The sample consisted of 138 mothers of children under five, selected using a multistage random sampling technique. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed descriptively. The results showed that most mothers of children under five were rarely involved in diarrhea prevention activities, such as health counseling, giving time and energy, and disseminating education to the community. The level of participation in the eight health centers tends to be quite low, with variations between regions that show inequality. The low involvement of mothers of children under five is thought to be influenced by a lack of awareness, limited time due to multiple roles, and not optimal support and supervision from the Puskesmas. It is concluded that mothers\u27 participation in diarrhea prevention is still not optimal, so it is necessary to strengthen community-based health programs that are participatory and appropriate to the social context in order to increase active involvement in diarrhea prevention efforts in children under five

Association Between Patterns of Electronic Cigarette Use and Recurrent Bronchitis Among Young Adults

Electronic cigarette use has become increasingly prevalent among young adults, raising concerns about its potential impact on respiratory health. This study aimed to investigate the association between patterns of electronic cigarette use and the occurrence of recurrent bronchitis symptoms in young adults. A quantitative analytic study with a cross-sectional approach was conducted involving 150 respondents aged 18–25 years. Participants were selected using purposive sampling, and data were collected through structured questionnaires. The variables measured included frequency of e-cigarette use and incidence of recurrent bronchitis symptoms. Data analysis involved Chi-square tests and Spearman correlation to examine the relationship between vaping patterns and respiratory complaints. The results showed a significant association between frequent e-cigarette use (≥4 times per week) and the presence of recurrent bronchitis symptoms, with a Spearman correlation value indicating a strong positive relationship. Regular users were found to be four times more likely to experience bronchitis than occasional or non-users. These findings suggest that habitual vaping may lead to bronchial irritation and inflammation, contributing to the onset of recurrent bronchitis. In conclusion, frequent electronic cigarette use poses a substantial risk to respiratory health among young adults and warrants greater public health attention. &nbsp

Antenatal Care (ANC) History Related To Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) In Pregnant Women

Methods: This study was conducted using a cross-sectional approach, with a total respondent of 48 pregnant women. Purposive sampling was used to choose participants, and in-person interviews were used to gather data. The statistical analysis used in this study was bivariate analysis using chi-square. Results: Antenatal care history and the incidence of CED was significantly related to the incidence of CED in pregnant women with p-value <0.05 and for the iron consumption was significantly related to the incidence of CED in pregnant women consumption and the incidence of CED with p-value <0.05 Conclusion: Adequate antenatal check-ups and regular consumption of iron tablets can prevent CED in pregnant women

Development Nutritional Evaluation and Acceptability of Moringa Moringa oleifera and Eel Monopterus albus Meatballs as a Functional Food for Stunted Toddlers

ABSTRACT Stunting remains a major nutritional problem in Indonesia with a relatively high prevalence, particularly in South Sulawesi. One cause is low nutritional intake in toddlers. Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera) and eel (Monopterus albus) are local foods rich in protein, iron, and vitamins, but their utilization remains low. This study aims to determine the nutritional content and acceptability of a combination of moringa leaf and eel meatballs as a functional food for stunted toddlers. The study used an experimental design with two formulations: F1 (300 g eel: 30 g moringa leaves) and F2 (150 g eel: 15 g moringa leaves). Nutritional analysis was conducted in the laboratory, while acceptability testing was conducted on 6 mothers and 6 toddlers using a hedonic test. Laboratory test results showed that F1 had a higher protein content (5.68%) than F2 (4.02%), while F2 had higher carbohydrate (26.35%) and energy (125.17 kcal) than F1 (97.48 kcal). Organoleptic tests showed that respondents liked the color and texture of the meatballs (liked), while the aroma and flavor were quite liked. Thus, the combination of moringa leaf and eel meatballs has the potential to be a locally based functional food alternative to support toddler nutrition and can be used as an innovative strategy to reduce stunting rates in Indonesia.   Keywords: stunting, toddlers, moringa leaf meatballs, eel, functional foo
