Background: Foods had a distinctive medicinal role as a remedy for illness for many centuries. The threat of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in all over the world is growing extremely due to the reason that any use of antimicrobials, however appropriate and justified, results in accumulation of resistance. Thus, researchers all over the world are toiling hard to introduce foods that possess therapeutic effects as medicine. Citrus fruits were the first foods to provide a true cure of any illness. The present study was undertaken to develop a value- added product that was hypothesized to bestow numerous dietary properties, to meet the ever growing demands of the consumers. Methods: A strategy was developed to formulate good quality jelly from Orange & Swertia chirata. To develop the jelly different proportions of orange juice & S. chirata namely T1 (95:05), T2 (90:10), T3 (85:15) was formulated and T0 was utilized as control (100% orange jelly). In addition to microbial analysis, phytochemical analysis, physicochemical properties, and sensory evaluation were conducted. Results: The physico-chemical properties of the formulated jellies were in alignment with previous studies. The results of the microbiological analysis were excellent. As, there were no detectable levels of E. coli and Salmonella in the formulation for a period of up to 2 months. The sample T3 exhibited maximum level of total phenolic content (168.3 mg GAE/gm), total flavonoid content (49.1 mg QE/gm) and antioxidant activity (135.63 mg/100gm). Therefore, the bioactive compounds had a high precedence on the sample T3 than the control one. Conclusion: After evaluating all the factors, it can be concluded that creating a value-added product will make it easier to market a product that not only attracts consumers but also possesses concealed medicinal properties.

Feeding premature and low birth weight (LBW) babies requires careful consideration due to their heightened vulnerability. Donor breast milk offers essential nutrients, antibodies, and beneficial bacteria, reducing the risk of infections and promoting healthy gut microbiota. However, accessibility and cost constraints pose challenges for many families. Formula milk provides a convenient alternative but lacks the immune-boosting properties of breast milk and may increase the risk of digestive problems and metabolic diseases later in life. Informed decision-making is crucial, considering both short-term benefits and long-term risks. Further research and support are needed to ensure optimal nutrition for premature and LBW babies, empowering parents and healthcare providers alike.

Background: The Sleman Regency Government is committed to solving the stunting problem by implementing an integrated stunting prevention program by encouraging the participation of penta-helix. Estimating stunting prevalence accomplishment targets is crucial for measuring progress, guiding strategies, and ensuring stunting reduction success. This study aims to provide information regarding the factors that contribute to the prevalence of stunted toddlers and develop a predictive model for that prevalence. Methods: The study investigated the prevalence of stunting, wasting, and underweight in Sleman Regency using publicly accessible reports, secondary data, and reputable websites. Data was gathered through audits of stunting cases and factors from district-level program managers, and analysed through desk reviews. This research was conducted in Sleman Regency from December 2023 to February 2024. Results: The investigation found that stunting is linked to family smoking, inadequate toddler nutrition, inactive JKN, chronic energy deficiency throughout pregnancy, and low-weight, preterm births. Through rules, policies, and multisectoral multistakeholder collaboration, the Sleman Regency Government aims to reduce stunting. The interventions include maternal and child health, nutritional counselling, drinking water and sanitation, early childhood education, and pre-conception family life preparation. A model to estimate long-term stunting prevalence is needed to track trends, evaluate interventions, and support evidence-based decision-making. Stunting is vital to public health and economic benefit. Based on audit data, child nutrition trends, and prediction models, Sleman Regency should reduce stunting by 0.02% per year for local data and 0.5% per year for national data. The determinants of stunting in Sleman Regency are very diverse, including problems related to nutrition and non-nutrition. Conclusion: Stunting prevention is focused on efforts to overcome habits, improve the nutritional status of pregnant women and optimize better pregnancy outcomes. Based on the analysis, the stunting reduction target was determined based on national and local surveys of 0.5% and 0.02% per year, respectively.

Background: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a loss of blood of more than 500 ml that occurs after the birth of a child either before, during, or after the delivery of the placenta. In developing countries including Indonesia, PPH is the leading cause of maternal death, because of its rapid and unexpected occurrence. This study aims to determine the determinants of hemorrhagic postpartum incidence in Maospati Health Center in 2023. Methods: This type of research is using observational analytic with case control design. The sample in this study was a case sample with a total population of 9 birth mothers who experienced postpartum hemorrhage while the control sample with simple random sampling was randomly selected as many as 36 birth mothers who did not experience postpartum hemorrhage. Data collection techniques and instruments used secondary data from labor medical records in 2023. Data analysis used descriptive statistical methods with relative frequency distribution and proportion or percentage, analytical statistical methods with Chi-Square test, Logistic Regression Analysis and ODD Ratio. Results: Of the 10 determinants studied including that passed the candidate selection and Logistic Regression Analysis test were occupation p-value 0.253, parity p-value 0.137, anemia p-value 0.446, uterine subinvolution p-value 0.000. Conclusion: It can be concluded that occupation, parity, anemia have no influence on the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage while uterine subinvolution has a significant influence on the incidence of, which is 5 times more at risk of experiencing postpartum hemorrhage than mothers with no uterine subinvolution. Subinvolution uteri needs to be prioritized and should not be ignored in providing early treatment of postpartum hemorrhage with prevention efforts including fulfilling nutritional adequacy, conducting Early Breastfeeding Initiation, encouraging early and gradual mobilization, teaching uterine massage, teaching good attachment during breastfeeding, and postpartum exercises.

Background: Anemia is a condition where the number of red blood cells or the capacity of red blood cells to carry oxygen is not sufficient to meet physiological needs. Factors that influence anemia are nutritional patterns where poor eating habits can cause iron deficiency. Lack of awareness or compliance with the consumption of blood supplement tablets can also predispose someone to anemia. The Health Belief Model (HBM) is a health behavior model that is used to predict behavior. HBM consists of perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, perceived severity, perceived self-efficacy and cues to action. The aim of this research is to determine the factors that influence the behavior of consuming nutrition and blood supplement tablets to prevent anemia in bridesmaids in Religious Affairs Office (KUA), Maospati District, Magetan Regency in 2024. Method: This is an observational analytical quantitative research with a sample of 31 prospective brides and grooms at religious affairs office Maospati in 2024. This research was measured using a health belief model questionnaire by distributing questionnaires to prospective brides and grooms. Data analysis uses primary data which is tested with descriptive analysis, classical assumption tests and linear regression tests. Results: Of the 6 behavioral factors studied include perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, perceived severity, perceived self-efficacy and cues to action, which is only perceived self-efficacy with a p-value of 0.000. Conclusion: The factors that influence the behavior of consuming nutrition and blood supplement tablets among prospective brides at the Maospati religious affaris office, only self-efficacy has an influence. Therefore, perceived self-efficacy needs to be prioritized.

Background: Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) is the cause of non-obstetric medical complications in pregnancy that occurs over a long period of time. The Providing Additional Food (PAF) program for vulnerable pregnant women is a supplementation strategy in overcoming nutritional problems, but the program has not been able to run well, based on observations made and also interviews with officers, it is known that some pregnant women have not been regular in consuming PAF biscuits. Researchers want to know the effect of implementing the PAF consumption compliance card on the level of compliance of CED pregnant women at the North Ponorogo Community Health Center. Methods: This study uses an experimental research method. The research design with a pre-experimental approach is in the form of a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample was taken using the total population sampling technique. The independent variable in this study was the implementation of the PAF consumption compliance card while the dependent variable was the level of compliance of CED pregnant women consuming PAF. Data collection uses interviews and obedient cards as instruments. Data analysis was carried out by normality test and the result of a p value of > 0.05 could be carried out, then the Paired Sample t-Test could be carried out to find out if there was a difference. Results: The results of the Paired samples t-test showed that there was a difference in the compliance of CED pregnant women before and after being given an obedience card, which can be seen at the value of p = 0.0001473. Conclusions: It can be concluded that compliance cards have proven effective in increasing the compliance of CED pregnant women in consuming PAF. Therefore, it is recommended to implement compliance cards as a reminder and monitor for pregnant women regarding PAF consumption.
