Background:
Hyperglycemia is a condition in which blood sugar levels increase excessively due to a variety of factors, one of which is the body's inability to regulate insulin properly. Diabetes closely relates to this condition, which significantly contributes to premature death and disability. Long-term diabetes treatment accompanied by a strict diet provides real results in controlling blood glucose levels but can cause side effects. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research on the potential for new drug sources with minimal side effects. Traditional medicine empirically uses the plant Petiveria alliacea.

Aim:
This study was conducted to determine the effect of Petiveria alliacea on hyperglycemic model rat and to further determine the mechanism of its active compounds in silico.

Methods:
The experimental animals were divided into 5 groups: 1 normal group, 1 group induced with Streptozotocin (STZ) 50 mg/kgBW to treat hyperglycemia, and 3 other groups induced with STZ 50 mg/kgBW and given 70% ethanol extract of Petiveria alliacea leaves (EEPa) in different doses. Each group was measured for Bcl2 expression and apoptosis. We also carried out in silico identification of the isoarborinol acetate and myricitrin compounds contained in EEPa against alpha-glucosidase and caspase-3.

Results:
It was found that giving STZ to rat can cause hyperglycemia. This was shown by measuring fasting blood glucose (FBG) in rat and then measuring B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl2) as an antiapoptotic agent. Bcl2 levels rose compared to the hyperglycemic control group and can lower apoptosis expression in heart cells of hyperglycemic model rat with an optimal dose of 90 mg/kgBW. In addition, the results showed that isoarborinol acetate and myricitrin compounds have inhibition of alpha-glucosidase and caspase-3.

Conclusion:
It can be concluded that EEPa is one of the alternative choices to overcome hyperglycemia.
Temporary circular external fixation for effective management of bilateral radial non-union in a Toy Poodle
Authors: An Byoungho , Song Bokyung , Jang Yehyeon , Kim Dongwook , Kim Gonhyung
Published: December 2024

Background:
Distal radius fractures are prevalent in small and toy-breed dogs, presenting significant treatment challenges due to complications such as delayed union or nonunion. These complications are often exacerbated by reduced vascular density at the distal diaphyseal-metaphyseal junction of the radius, which is vital for bone healing, particularly in toy and small breed dogs. Circular external fixation (CEF) is known for its effectiveness in managing acute and chronic fractures and providing temporary stabilization in humans. This study documented the use of temporary CEF in a Toy Poodle with non-union fractures of the radius and ulna, addressing bone atrophy and resorption caused by repeated implant failures.

Case Description:
A 3-year-old, 4.2 kg, neutered male Toy Poodle was referred for treatment after multiple attempts to fix for radial and ulnar fractures failed to achieve union over one year, leaving the dog barely using its forelimbs. In the first surgery, CEF was applied to heal holes in the bone caused by previous fixation devices and encourage forelimb use through rehabilitation. In the second surgery, a combination of cancellous bone grafting, plate fixation, and CEF was used, resulting in successful bone union and restoration of normal gait after 10 weeks.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, CEF is a valuable option for temporary fixation and fracture reduction in toy-breed dogs and offer a promising approach to managing challenging cases.
Rehabilitation training effect guided by cardiopulmonary fitness assessment on NT-proBNP levels in patients with chronic heart failure.
Authors: Yang Huamei
Published: December 2024

This study explored the impact of rehabilitation training guided by cardiopulmonary fitness assessment on NT-proBNP levels in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). It was conducted on 220 chronic heart failure (CHF) patients from March 2020 to February 2022. They were divided into a control and observa-tion group. The control group received routine nursing, while the an observation group underwent rehabilitation guided by a cardiopulmonary fitness assessment. Changes in NT-proBNP levels, vascular endothelial function, and cardiopulmo-nary function were compared between the groups at admission, eight, and 12 weeks later. Upon admission, the two groups had no statistically significant dif-ference in NT-proBNP levels (p>0.05). However, after eight and 12 weeks of inter-vention, both groups showed decreased NT-proBNP levels, with the observation group exhibiting significantly lower levels than the control group (p<0.05). Simi-larly, there was no significant difference between the groups initially (p>0.05) in endothelial function comparison. However, after eight and 12 weeks, ET-1 and Ang-II levels decreased in both groups, with the observation group showing sig-nificantly lower levels than the control group (p<0.05). In terms of cardiopulmo-nary function, there was no significant difference initially. However, after eight and 12 weeks, Peak VO2, VO2 AT, and maximum exercise power increased in both groups compared to before the intervention, with the observation group showing significantly higher values than the control group (p<0.05). Additionally, the VE/VCO2 slope decreased in both groups post-intervention, with the observation group having a lower slope than the control group (p<0.05). Cardiopulmonary fitness-guided rehabilitation objectively evaluates patients, formulates precise plans, reduces NT-proBNP levels and inflammation, improves vascular endothelial function, and is vital in secondary chronic heart failure prevention.

Authors: Ma Cen , Sun Lingyan , Li Li
Published: December 2024

To analyze the karyotype distribution in 1285 pregnant women and evaluate the association between karyotype and diagnostic indications of fetal chromosomal abnormalities, 1285 pregnant women with prenatal diagnos-tic indications and successful amniocentesis admitted to our hospital from July 2019 to June 2022 were selected as study subjects for fetal karyotype analysis. The distribution of prenatal diagnostic indications and abnormal karyotypes were recorded, and the association between abnormal karyotypes and different diagnostic indications was analyzed. Ninety-six abnormal chromosomal karyo-types in amniotic fluid cells were detected in the samples, with an abnormal-ity rate of 7.47%. Chromosome numerical abnormalities accounted for 70.83% (68/96), and the detection rate was 5.29% (68/1285), the most common cat-egory of abnormal kariotypes, trisomy 21, was the most common among them, accounting for 44.79% (43/96). Advanced maternal age and high risk of sero-logic screening were the main indications for prenatal diagnosis. The highest detection rates were for abnormal non-invasive prenatal DNA testing and one parent carrying chromosome abnormality, 27.63% and 42.86%, respectively. Karyotype analysis of pregnant women with indications for amniocentesis is effective in screening for fetal chromosomal abnormalities and reducing con-genital anomalies.

Published: December 2024

The high-throughput sequencing (HTS) is now a highly favoured technology in the field of genome research. A distinctive feature of this sequenc-ing method is its data-yielding capability, which is capable of generating more than 100 times than the first-generation Sanger sequencing platform. HTS technology has been widely adopted for its advantages, including high through-put, sensitivity, automaticity, information density and cost-effectiveness. Not only does it help in the treatment and diagnosis of multiple diseases, but it also provides new insights into the research in molecular biology of tumors. Moreover, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) tests based on HTS technology are increasingly extensively implemented for clinical purposes. In this review, we will focus on the significant achievements and performances of the HTS, and first-hand data from extensive experience will be summarized and analyzed to discuss the advantages and specifics associated with each sequencing system and further summarize the characteristics of their clinical applications.
Meta-Learning (Learning to Learn): Investigating How Meta-Learning Algorithms Can Improve Learning Efficiency Across Tasks
Authors: Kashyap Gaurav
Published: December 2024

"Learning to learn," or meta-learning, has become a potent strategy for enhancing the effectiveness and versatility
of machine learning models. Meta-learning algorithms aim to learn general strategies and principles that can be
applied to a range of learning problems, in contrast to traditional machine learning approaches that concentrate on
solving a particular problem. One of the main benefits of meta-learning is its capacity to use prior knowledge and
experience to speed up learning in new tasks. Meta-learning seeks to improve models' generalization across tasks
by allowing algorithms to learn from both data and prior learning experiences, which lessens the need for intensive
task-specific training. The idea of meta-learning, its main algorithms, and how it can increase learning efficiency

across tasks are all examined in this paper. We look at the different meta-learning frameworks, including model-
based, metric-based, and optimization-based methods, and assess how well they work in various contexts. Lastly,

we go over the practical uses and difficulties of meta-learning, emphasizing its potential in domains like robotics,
reinforcement learning, and few-shot learning.

Published: December 2024

The research on developing a stress management model for nursing students at private higher education institutions aims to create an effective stress management approach. This study applies the concepts of Health-Related Hardiness and Resilience using a research and development methodology divided into three phases, 1) Synthesis of a draft prototype: In this phase, an initial stress management model was conceptualized. 2) Development of the stress management prototype: The finalized prototype comprises three main concepts and five activities, Concept 1: Self-commitment – Strive for Success (Activities: Motivation and Opportunity), Concept 2: Internal and External Control – Finding Solutions (Activities: Novelty and Encourage) and Concept 3: Facing Challenges, I Can Do It (Activity: Yourself). 3) Effectiveness testing of the prototype: This phase involved a trial with 30 experimental participants and 30 in a comparison group. Results showed a statistically significant reduction in stress levels within the experimental group before and after the intervention (t = 24.286, p < .001). Post-intervention stress levels were significantly lower in the experimental group compared to the comparison group (t = -12.079, p < .001). Overall resilience in the experimental group also showed a statistically significant improvement after the intervention (t = -9.761, p < .001), with increases across all three dimensions of resilience and The resilience levels of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the comparison group (t = 1.829, p < .001). The researcher developed this stress management model to enhance health-related hardiness and psychological resilience among nursing students, naming it the MONEY MODEL.

Restorative mediation in cases of relationship and family violence

Restorative justice responses are increasingly common in criminal cases, including domestic violence cases (referred to here as intra-family violence or partner violence). It can offer parties prospects of restoring trust or repairing harm through a guided conversation. However, application of restorative justice provisions in such cases is not self-evident. The dynamics of partner violence create specific challenges, particularly with regard to victim safety and voluntary participation. The use of restorative justice requires extra careful consideration. In this contribution, we exchanged views with Pascale Franck and Karolien Boonen, working at Family Justice Centres in Flanders. Besides mediation in cases of partner violence, the use of restorative justice options in cases of parental or child abuse was discussed. Preceding, issues of partner violence and violence in families and the requirements of the Istanbul Convention are highlighted. Finally, the conditions we believe should be set to apply mediation in cases of partner violence and some practical challenges are shared.

Domestic violence and restorative mediation

This study examines the course, challenges, and potential effects of restorative mediation after domestic violence in the Netherlands. The results suggest that a long history between the perpetrator and the victim can make mediation difficult. The challenge is of considering the needs of both victim and perpetrator, as is also important in cases that do not involve domestic violence. Victims want to ask questions, get recognition, take back control, make agreements, reduce their anxiety, and regain a sense of security. Sometimes they want an apology. Perpetrators want to tell their story, take responsibility, listen, and reassure. The potential risks associated with mediation are secondary victimisation, hidden agendas, and power relations. Provided the mediation is well prepared, these risks can be overcome. Besides risks, mediation also offers opportunities. The process ensures healthy communication, being able to express feelings, direction for the victim, insight and responsibility taken by the perpetrator, recognition, agreements, reduced anxiety, and closure.

Published: December 2024

Automobile transportation has been strongly associated with air pollution throughout various stages, like driving, fueling, production, and disposal. The emissions released from vehicle exhaust contain substantial quantities of detrimental gases, including carbon compounds, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and particulate matter. The reduced fertility of plants is a consequence of intense air pollution. The toxic gases emitted from vehicles endanger plants and cause changes in the physical and structural development of the Mangifera indica L. tree. This study aimed to explore the harmful effects of vehicle emissions on the physical structure and anatomy of Mango trees in the Samastipur district of Bihar, India. The experiment was based on the comparative study of under one year examination (2021-2022). Polluted and non-polluted sites were chosen and study was done. The result indicated that the automobile air pollution was hindering the healthy growth of Mangifera indica L.

O estudo investiga detalhadamente a qualidade fisiológica de sementes de trigo, avaliando o comportamento de sementes com diferentes níveis de vigor quando submetidas a condições variadas de umidade no solo. Essa pesquisa é particularmente relevante para o sul do Rio Grande do Sul, onde o trigo desempenha um papel essencial dentro do sistema agrícola brasileiro. O trigo se destaca não apenas por seu valor econômico e produtividade, mas também pela sua capacidade de promover cobertura do solo, que contribui para a proteção e conservação do solo, além de ser uma cultura fundamental em sistemas de rotação. Em condições de laboratório controladas, as sementes foram expostas a três níveis específicos de capacidade de campo: 0%, 50% e 100%. Os resultados indicaram que sementes de alto vigor apresentaram desempenho superior em situações de estresse hídrico moderado (50% da capacidade de campo), enquanto o excesso de água (100% de capacidade de campo) teve um impacto negativo na emergência e no desenvolvimento inicial das plantas. O estudo conclui que, para otimizar o desempenho agrícola em condições adversas, como secas e solos saturados, sementes de maior vigor são a opção mais indicada para garantir maior resiliência e produtividade.

In April 2019, 25.4 ha of woodland in the Płaska Forest District in the SE part of the Augustów Forest were damaged by fire. Between 2020-2022 a survey of beetles in the burnt and unburnt (control) parts of the forest was carried out. The insects were collected in IBL-2bis window (= flight interception) traps. 781 species classified in 67 families were identified. Among these species, Acrotrichis strandi (Ptiliidae) was found in Poland for the first time, and 41 species were new records for the Masurian Lake District. During the studies, two species protected in Poland (Boros schneideri, Cucujus cinnaberinus), and several more from the Polish Red List of Animals, the Polish Red Book of Animals and the European Red List of Saproxylic Beetles, were recorded. Fifteen of the beetles recorded are relicts of primeval forests in Central Europe: Boros schneideri (Boridae); Stephanopachys linearis (Bostrichidae); Ampedus tristis (Elateridae); Leiestes seminiger (Endomychidae); Platylomalus complanatus, Platysoma deplanatum (Histeridae); Corticaria longicornis, Latridius brevicollis (Latridiidae); Peltis grossa (Peltidae); Stagetus borealis (Ptinidae); Tachyusida gracilis (Staphylinidae); Corticeus fasciatus, C. suturalis, Prionychus melanarius (Tenebrionidae); Colydium filiforme (Zopheridae). The present paper lists the beetles recorded and gives brief characteristics of rare species, primeval forest relicts and a selection of species from the Polish Red List of Animals.

Published: December 2024

For the Tunisian population of the olive fly, Bactrocera oleae, little data are available. To examine the genetic diversity of this population, we sequenced a segment of the mitochondrial ND1 gene in 15 olive fly samples collected from olive trees in northern Tunisia. In addition, two specimens from Italy and four from California were also sequenced. A total of seven different mitochondrial haplotypes were observed in the samples currently sequenced. The Tunisian population of B. oleae showed a level of polymorphism comparable to that found in various populations worldwide. Although a clear phylogenetic separation between the Mediterranean samples was not possible, the Tunisian haplotypes could be assigned to any of the two Mediterranean groups i.e., the western and eastern Mediterranean. Our phylogenetic analyses and ancestral reconstruction method suggested an Asian origin of B. oleae populations and a Mediterranean origin, respectively. These findings contradict previous studies that suggested an African origin for the fruit fly populations.

Sabe-se que o envelhecimento populacional não é apenas uma realidade brasileira, mas também se enquadra no cenário mundial. Segundo o World Health Day (2012), há hipóteses e estimativas que o número de pessoas com 65 anos ou mais cresça para quase 1,5 bilhão em 2050, com a maioria do aumento em países em desenvolvimento. A transição epidemiológica é um dos fatores que propiciou o aumento da população idosa, já que as doenças infectocontagiosas, anteriormente, eram as principais causas de mortalidade e, no mundo pós-moderno, as doenças crônico-degenerativas são mais prevalentes, principalmente, na população idosa (SANTOSA; WALL; FOTTRELL; HOGBERG, BYPASS, 2014). Nesse âmbito, com o aumento da longevidade dos brasileiros, os desafios da saúde pública em adotar estratégias para atender às demandas específicas dessa população crescem na mesma proporção (DA SILVA; QUINTÃO, 2021). Além disso, cabe evidenciar que a maior carga de doenças crônicas e incapacidades funcionais acarretam maior utilização dos serviços de saúde. Entretanto, é fundamental diferenciar senescência de senilidade, sendo a senescência definida pelo envelhecimento natural e a senilidade, por sua vez, pelo envelhecimento patológico.  Dessa maneira, o envelhecimento não é sinônimo de incapacidades e dependência, mas de maior vulnerabilidade (SECRETARIA DE ESTADO DE SAÚDE DO PARANÁ, 2018). Portanto, o presente estudo tem objetivo de avaliar os determinantes e influenciadores na saúde dos idosos, por meio de um instrumento validado – o Índice de Vulnerabilidade Clínico-Funcional-20 (IVCF-20) e identificar os idosos que possuem maior risco de vulnerabilidade e encaminhar para acompanhamento multiprofissional, se necessário.

Este artigo apresenta uma revisão sistemática detalhada sobre as complicações pós-operatórias em rinoplastia, com foco nos fatores de risco e estratégias de prevenção para otimizar os desfechos estéticos e funcionais. A rinoplastia, um dos procedimentos cirúrgicos mais realizados tanto por razões estéticas quanto funcionais, não se limita a uma única técnica, mas sim a um conjunto de abordagens que envolvem a manipulação tanto da estrutura externa quanto do septo nasal. Historicamente, priorizar a função respiratória muitas vezes comprometia a estética e vice-versa; contudo, com o avanço das técnicas modernas, tornou-se possível equilibrar ambos os aspectos, permitindo aos pacientes obter melhorias respiratórias e estéticas simultaneamente. O estudo aborda a complexidade inerente à rinoplastia, destacando que a anatomia nasal variável e a necessidade de personalização aumentam os desafios para os cirurgiões. Para esta revisão, foram analisados artigos das bases PubMed e LILACS, utilizando descritores como "rinoplastia", "complicações pós-operatórias", "fatores de risco" e "prevenção". No total, foram identificados 172 artigos. Após um processo de triagem que envolveu análise de títulos, resumos e leitura completa dos textos, 127 estudos foram excluídos por não atenderem aos critérios de inclusão, restando 45 para análise detalhada. Destes, apenas 5 artigos foram incluídos na revisão final, pois abordavam diretamente os fatores de risco, complicações frequentes e estratégias para minimizar esses problemas. Os resultados mostram que complicações precoces, como epistaxe persistente, hematomas septais e infecções, são comuns logo após a cirurgia e podem ser manejadas com intervenções conservadoras. Em contrapartida, complicações tardias, como perfuração septal, colapso da válvula nasal e cicatrizes hipertróficas, podem surgir meses após o procedimento, exigindo cirurgias de revisão mais complexas. Além disso, a análise revelou que o uso inadequado de técnicas como fios absorvíveis pode resultar em extrusões e irregularidades estéticas, especialmente em pacientes com pele mais fina. O estudo também destacou que muitos pacientes, especialmente aqueles influenciados por tendências estéticas, têm um conhecimento limitado sobre os potenciais riscos e complicações, reforçando a importância do aconselhamento pré-operatório.

A empatia, por sua vez, auxilia na criação de um ambiente colaborativo, ao permitir uma melhor compreensão das perspectivas e necessidades dos colegas, o que reduz conflitos e fortalece as relações. Quando essas habilidades são bem aplicadas, contribuem para a construção de um ambiente de trabalho mais saudável e produtivo, resultando em melhores resultados individuais e coletivos. Esse equilíbrio emocional, além de promover o bem-estar dos colaboradores, é um diferencial importante para o sucesso organizacional em um mercado cada vez mais competitivo e exigente.
Self-care behaviors and academic stress in nursing students
Authors: Tubón Lagua Mary Carmen , Guadalupe Núñez Sara Verónica
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Self-care behaviors and academic stress are crucial aspects of the education of nursing students. Self-care, defined as deliberate actions to maintain health and well-being, is essential for future health professionals. Academic stress can significantly affect students' performance and well-being. Objective: To analyze the relationship between self-care behaviors and academic stress in nursing students at the Technical University of Ambato, Ecuador. Methods: A quantitative, descriptive, and correlational study was conducted with a cross-sectional, non-experimental design. The Scale to Estimate Self-Care Capacities (EECAC) and the SISCO SV Academic Stress Inventory were used in a sample of 71 seventh-semester students. Results: 67.6% of the students presented a medium self-care capacity and 32.4% high. Regarding academic stress, 84.6% showed moderate levels and 11.3% high levels, with notable differences between genders. A complex relationship between self-care and stress was observed, where even students with high self-care capacity can experience high-stress levels. Conclusion: Although self-care practices are essential, they alone are insufficient to prevent high academic stress in nursing students. The need to implement multifactorial, gender-sensitive interventions to address academic stress and promote self-care in this population is underscored.

O planejamento urbano exige resultados em termos de mobilidade sustentável. Para ser sustentável, este planejamento demanda ampla participação dos diversos atores e organizações, contudo a população leiga nem sempre aparenta ter conhecimento técnico para subsidiar as escolhas de veículos automotores (a exemplo: veículos movidos por combustível fóssil versus veículos elétricos), tornando- as mais conscientes quanto aos seus impactos da ação local no desenvolvimento sustentável em escala global. Portanto, o objetivo geral deste estudo preliminar foi: Definir critérios com atributos para um modelo AHP que foi nomeado de Green Moving Car (GMC) e caracterizar alternativas a serem testadas (veículos movidos por combustível fóssil versus veículos elétricos). Essa pesquisa preliminar, de caráter exploratório, descritivo e de natureza qualitativa e quantitativa, foi executada através de dois passos: (1) Revisão de Escopo e (2) Pesquisa documental. Os resultados permitiram a decomposição do problema em quatro dimensões chave com base na literatura científica: (1) Energia propulsora; (2) Infraestrutura e serviços; (3) Sustentabilidade Ambiental; (4) Sustentabilidade Econômica, e caracterizar as alternativas detalhadamente: (a) Carro Elétrico; (b) Carro movido a energia fóssil. Os resultados da presente etapa (definição de critérios e caracterização das alternativas) contribuem como a formulação futura e teste do modelo AHP Green Moving Car (GMC), que é uma ferramenta promissora para educar a população leiga sobre escolhas conscientes relativas a veículos automotores na atualidade.

This is a descriptive-exploratory study with a qualitative approach that aimed to analyze the mother's perception of the approach to her psychological condition in prenatal, puerperium and childcare consultations. Between January and April 2023, postpartum women hospitalized in a public-private maternity hospital who had had at least one previous experience of motherhood prior to the current one were randomly selected.  The number of 20 interviewees was determined through the theoretical saturation sampling technique, in line with the pre-defined objectives, considering that it is a qualitative approach. The material was obtained through interviews and analyzed through Bardin's content analysis technique, in the light of Moraes' theoretical framework on perinatal psychology and psychopathology.  The analytical categories that emerged from the discourses were called: maternal emotional state; impairment of aspects of daily life; medical approach to the maternal emotional state, and the importance of the approach to peripartum depression. The results showed that: emotional changes during pregnancy and postpartum are frequent, causing transformations in family, professional and social relationships; The mother's emotional state is rarely addressed in consultations, and postpartum women consider this approach important. It is proposed to educational institutions a more humanistic training and a greater insertion of the theme to medical students.  It is also important to expand the dialogue with society on the subject, which is still surrounded by prejudice.

A alegria é uma emoção humana ligada a experiências de vida, conquistas pessoais e conexões sociais, sendo encontrada também no apreço de coisas simples e cotidianas da vida. O sistema imune, responsável pela proteção do corpo, deve ser considerado em diferentes dimensões que envolvem seu funcionamento, analisando como ele age e como é afetado pelo estado emocional, com foco na influência da alegria. Nesse aspecto, observa-se que o estado emocional pode exercer um papel significativo na resposta imune de um indivíduo diante de cada emoção existente. É necessário considerar as dimensões que perpassam seu papel, avaliando o modo com que ele interfere e como é influenciado pela emoção alegria. Destarte, o estudo teve como objetivo analisar e compreender a influência da emoção positiva alegria sobre o sistema imune. Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura, descritiva, de abordagem qualitativa, com coleta de dados realizada por meio de revisão bibliográfica em bases de dados. Ao analisar os artigos encontrados, verificou-se que a alegria como conceito é caracterizada com o termo afeto positivo (AP), caracterizada por sua ampla influência protetora da saúde e impacto favorável em processos inflamatórios, caracterizado como parcialmente independente do afeto negativo. A existência de emoções contrárias à alegria, tal como o estresse, afeta o indivíduo, favorecendo a alterações no sistema imunológico facilitando o surgimento de doenças.

Introduction: Stunting is a significant public health issue that affects the growth and development of children, particularly in their early years. One of the key factors contributing to stunting is the level of knowledge that mothers of toddlers have regarding proper nutrition and child care. Understanding the awareness and knowledge of mothers about stunting is crucial in developing effective interventions and educational programs to prevent its occurrence. This study aims to examine the level of maternal knowledge about stunting and its potential impact on the health and development of toddlers.
Objective: The objective of this study is to assess the level of knowledge among mothers of toddlers regarding stunting and its contributing factors.
Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design to assess the level of knowledge among mothers of toddlers regarding stunting. The population of the study consisted of mothers with toddlers in Mulyajaya, Sumedang Regency. A total of 18 mothers were selected as the sample using a total sampling technique. Data collection took place between February 14 and May 14, 2024. The collected data were analyzed using frequency and percentage calculations, with statistical analysis performed using SPSS version 22. This approach allowed for a comprehensive understanding of the knowledge level regarding stunting among the participants.
Results: The results of this study show that in the group of mothers with toddlers, the number of respondents with an improved level of knowledge was observed.
Conclusions: The majority of mothers with toddlers in Mulyajaya have sufficient knowledge about stunting, with some demonstrating good knowledge. However, a small group still lacks adequate understanding. This highlights the need for targeted educational interventions to improve maternal knowledge and promote better child care practices.
