Title: Determinants of Wasting Among Children Aged 6–23 Months in Indonesia Authors: E. Koritelu, R. Trikoriyanto; Syauqy, Ahmad; Margawati, Ani Abstract: ABSTRACT Wasting is a form of malnutrition that is a significant concern globally, including in Indonesia. It has a detrimental impact on children's health, the quality of human resources, and a country's overall development. This study aims to examine the prevalence and risk factors associated with wasting in children aged 6–23 months in Indonesia. The study design is cross-sectional, utilizing secondary data from the 2022 Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey. Data collection was conducted throughout Indonesia between March and December 2022. The sample size for this study was 70,414 children aged between 6 and 23 months. Bivariate analysis (χ2 test) was employed to determine the relationship between dependent and independent variables. Furthermore, multivariate analysis utilized logistic binary regression tests to ascertain the adjusted odd ratio (aOR) risk value. The results of this study indicate that the prevalence of children aged 6–23 months in Indonesia is 7.63%, with wasting. The following factors have been identified as being at high risk of wasting: boys, children aged 12-23 months, birth weight <2500 grams, birth length <48 cm, history of exclusive breastfeeding, consumption of empty calorie drinks, history of infectious diseases, inappropriate/complete immunizations, lack of use of health services, inappropriate drinking water sources and very poor family status. Wasting is associated with several factors. Consequently, identifying these factors is of significant importance in the context of intervention efforts to prevent and address malnutrition, including wasting, in Indonesia.

Title: Improving Work Motivation of Nutrition Implementers in Health Centers: Analysis of the Influence of Work Experience, Competence, and Rewards Authors: Rahman, Fauzie; Arifin, Syamsul; Syahadatina Noor, Meitria; Husaini, Husaini; Adhani, Rosihan; Abdan Shadiq, Muhammad; Erlyani, Neka Abstract: ABSTRACT Success in addressing nutritional problems can be achieved when nutrition implementers possess strong abilities and skills in executing nutritional service program activities at community health centers. High work motivation among nutrition implementers significantly contributes to the successful implementation of these programs. This study aims to analyze the influence of work experience, competence, and reward provision on the work motivation of nutrition implementers. This research employs a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The population consists of all nutrition implementers in South Kalimantan Community Health Centers' work area in Indonesia. A sample of 253 respondents was selected using purposive sampling. The research instrument utilized was a questionnaire, and data analysis involved simple linear regression analysis. The findings indicate a significant effect of work experience on work motivation, with a significance value of .00 < .05. However, competence does not have a significant impact on work motivation, as its significance value is .098 > .05. Similarly, reward provision does not significantly influence work motivation, with a significance value of .439 > .05. In conclusion, work experience significantly affects the work motivation of nutrition implementers. Therefore, efforts to enhance the motivation of nutrition implementers are essential, as they will ultimately improve the effectiveness of nutrition service programs in health centers, contributing to the prevention of stunting and the overall enhancement of public health

Title: Predicting Tuberculosis Vulnerability Based on Environmental Factors Using Multi-Criteria Analysis in Bukittinggi Authors: Budi Satria, Eka; Dewata, Indang; Umar, Iswandi; Syah, Nurhasan; Handayuni, Linda; Hasnita, Evi Abstract: ABSTRACT Tuberculosis is still an infectious disease problem and the main cause of death in Indonesia, where there was an increase in cases from 301 per 100,000 population (2020) to 354,000 per 100,000 population (2021), with the death rate increasing by 55%. This research aims to determine the TB vulnerability cluster influenced by the main risk factors, namely TB prevalence, cure rate, immunization, population density, and population arrivals in Bukittinggi, using the Weight Product (WP) analysis method, and then describe them by mapping tuberculosis vulnerability. The findings indicate that four sub-districts exhibit the highest levels of tuberculosis vulnerability: Tarok Dipo (0.0379), Campago Guguk Bulek (0.0399), Campago Ipuh (0.0399), and Aur Tajungkang Tangah Sawah (0.0389). A multi-sectoral TB control committee comprising public works, environmental, and health agencies should be formed to organize and carry out focused actions. Establish a strong TB surveillance system that includes contact tracing, active case finding, and routine monitoring of important indicators. Create and implement specialized intervention packages for high-vulnerability subdistricts, including social support programs, housing rehabilitation, and air quality control.
