Religious Knowledge and Breastfeeding Mothers Status in Indonesia

The high rate of stunting is one of the nutritional problems in Indonesia. Stunting is a condition in which Indonesian children do not achieve optimal height according to the age. Attention to the first 1,000 days of life particularly promotion of breast-feeding for two full years is regarded as a solution to solve this problem. This study aims to examine the relationship of religious knowledge related with breastfeeding encouragement in the Koran and the status of breastfeeding mothers. This research was a quantitative and qualitative research. The data collection was done by cross sectional in Makassar and Palopo on mothers of children aged 12-36 months. The results showed that there were 98 mothers fulfill  selection criteria. 83 mothers (84.7%) knew the advice to breastfeed in the Qur'an, while 15 mothers (15.3%) did not know. In addition, there were 57 mothers (58.2%) still breast-feeding, and 41 (41.8%) had stopped breastfeeding by p = 0.007. Finally, this study confirmed that religious suggestion to enhance breast-feeding for two years proved to be a boost to the mother to breastfeed her child

The association of breastfeeding duration and language development survey score in children

Background and objectives: Breastfeeding is an intimate moment between mother and children. Studies had shown the effectiveness of breastfeeding to stimulate cognitive function of children including their language development. We hypothesize the longer duration of breastfeeding the higher language ability of children. This study aimed to examine the association between breastfeeding duration and LDS score of children aged 18-35 months old. Our primary outcomes were LDS-vocabulary score and LDS-phrase score.  Methods: This cross sectional study was performed in 261 breastfeeding mothers with children aged 18-35 months old. A mother whose children diagnosed with delayed growth was excluded from the study. Data of breastfeeding duration (BF) and subjects’ characteristics were obtained through a questionnaire. Body mass index (BMI) of mother and weight-per age of children were collected for nutritional status. We applied language development survey (LDS) checklist form to assess vocabulary and phrase ability of the children. Statistical modelling was calculated by multiple logistic regression.Results: Prevalence of severe undernourished was highest in BF group 7-18 months vs 6 months vs >18 months old (13% vs 2% vs 4.6%, respectively). Neither LDS vocabulary nor LDS phase score have association with breastfeeding duration (p=0.973 and 0.937, respectively). Mother age, socioeconomic status, and siblingship might contribute to the association between BF duration and children language development (OR 0.63, 95% CI 0.25-1.61; OR 0.42, 95% CI 0.11-1.59, respectively).Conclusion: Breastfeeding duration is not a risk factor for delayed of children language development. This observation merits further investigation to explain the relationship between duration of breastfeeding and children language development with prospective approach

Conclusions: A through management of meningoencephalocystocele involves many aspects include treatment after surgery was performe

Breastfeeding Duration More than 18 Months Possibly Lowers the Risk of Language Development Delay in Children Aged 18–35 Months

Studies have demonstrated the benefits of breastfeeding (BF) on children’s cognitive function and language development. However, most cognitive and language tools used in these studies have limited ability to identify children’s language development delays. The Language Development Survey (LDS) is expected to provide detailed information on children’s language development. This study aimed to examine the association between BF duration and children’s LDS. A questionnaire was administered to 286 BF mothers to obtain information on their BF duration, and LDS was employed to assess children’s language development. Language delays were detected in 91 (31.8%) children (LDS-vocabulary) and 35.7% children (LDS-phrase). This study also found that children who were breastfed for ≤6 months and 7–18 months had an adjusted OR (AOR) of 0.86 of LDS-vocabulary, and 0.8 of LDS-phrase, whereas children who were breastfed for >18 months had AOR’s LDS-vocabulary of 0.57 and LDS-phrase of 0.46. This study found no significant association between BF duration and LDS score. Nevertheless, BF duration of >18 months possibly lowers the risk of children’s language development delay. More studies are required to investigate this observation’s relationship with children’s language development

Effect of Iron Rich Foods SMS Intervention on Iron Intake in Pregnant Women with Anemia

Pregnancy-related anemia has been linked to many undesirable consequences for both mothers and their children. Prevention of anemia in pregnant women can be supported through health promotion media such as SMS-gateway. This study was focused on knowing the effect of SMS gateway knowledge about foods high in iron on intake of foods high in iron in anemic pregnant women. The study was used a double-blind randomized controlled trial to analyze the effect of SMS intervention on iron-rich food on 68 anemic pregnant women at seven health centers in Makassar City. The intervention applied the software Gili SMS®  to deliver SMS interventions. The intervention was given on days 3, 10, 17, and 24 of the study, and food recalls were carried out on days 0 and 28 of the study using the 24-hour food recall method. We found that there was no significant difference on intake of iron but a significant difference between intake of energy and carbohydrate between control and intervention group after SMS gateway intervention. By the recommendations in one of the verses in the Qur'an, pregnant women are encouraged to choose and consume good food such as vegetable and animal protein produced by plants and animals. Foods are suitable for the body and provide all the nutrients needed for the body's normal functioning. We found no increased of iron intake after SMS intervention in pregnant women with anemia

EDUKASI PEDULI LINGKUNGAN DAN PEMBUATAN ECOBRICK SEBAGAI SOLUSI KREATIF MENGURANGI SAMPAH ANORGANIK “PLASTIK” DI DESA MAMMI KECAMATAN BINUANG KABUPATEN POLEWALI MANDAR

Permasalahan utama di Desa Mammi adalah produksi sampah yang tinggi dan berpotensi mencemari lingkungan. Sampah plastik yang sifatnya sulit terurai masih belum bisa dikelola dengan baik karena masyarakat belum begitu paham tentang cara pengelolaan sampah plastik yang benar. Kebanyakan masyarakat masih menerapkan pola pengelolaan sampah konvensional yaitu menimbun sampah di suatu tempat/lokasi. Sampah plastik biasanya ditangani dengan cara dbakar padahal hal ini dapat memicu munculnya pencemaran udara dan tanah. Salah satu cara untuk meminimalisir pembakaran sampah plastik adalah dengan memanfaatkannya menjadi produk ecobrick. Ecobrick adalah salah satu cara penanganan limbah plastik dengan cara mengemas plastik yang bersih dan kering ke dalam botol plastik hingga kerapatan yang ditentukan. Ecobrick dapat dibuat menjadi produk seperti kursi, meja, rak buku dan produk lainnya yang bernilai ekonomi. Oleh karena itu telah dilakukan program pengabdian pada masyarakat di Desa Mammi Kecamatan Binuang Kabupaten Polewali Mandar. Kegiatan ini diharapkan dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan masyarakat tentang bahaya sampah plastik serta melalui pengolahan sampah plastik menjadi ecobrick bisa dijadikan suatu peluang usaha yang baru bagi masyarakat di Desa Mammi.
