Family Resilience With Stunted Children Aged Below 5 Years: A Qualitative Study in Depok City, Indonesia.

Stunting is influenced by family and household factors that affect toddler nutrition. As the primary provider of both physical and psychological resources to prevent health problems, the family has a significant role in preventing stunting. Family resilience in supporting child health is mediated by family functioning. A qualitative descriptive study explored the influence of family resilience in fulfilling the nutritional needs of stunted children. This study involved in-depth interviews with 23 mothers of stunted children aged 24 to 59 months. Through content analysis, we identified three main themes: (1) family belief that stunting is hereditary, (2) family belief that stunted children will "grow up," and (3) lack of communication between family members in discussing stunting. Future studies should explore intervention models to increase family resilience and prevent stunting in children under five.

Socio-cultural factors influencing Indonesian nurses to stay working in Indonesia: A qualitative study.

AIM: To explore push, pull and retention factors affecting indonesian nurses decision to stay in the nursing profession. INTRODUCTION: Identifying influencing factors that determine Indonesian nurses' decisions to remain working in Indonesia gives a better understanding of nurses' migration and therefore are necessry to explore. BACKGROUND: Studies examining nurse migration's push and pull factors have been carried out extensively. A study exploring factors that make nurses stay in their home countries, such as Indonesia needs to be conducted to provide different insights for related parties. METHODS: A qualitative descriptive study was conducted with 52 managers and 181 nurses from hospitals and community health centres across four different regions in Indonesia, including DKI Jakarta, Lampung, South Kalimantan and West Nusa Tenggara. A purposive sampling method was used. The data were collected online (via Zoom) and offline through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. A content analysis was performed. The Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ) was followed. RESULTS: Five categories were developed: non-financial support, sense of togetherness, following the husband, social image and powerlessness. DISCUSSION: Socio-cultural factors influence Indonesian nurses to stay working in their country despite their economic and career development difficulties. CONCLUSION: Socio-cultural circumstances have become powerful factors affecting Indonesian nurses to stay working in Indonesia. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE AND POLICY: There is a need for harmonisation of policies related to nursing migration between recipient and source countries. Moreover, policies should go beyond education, competency and credentialing regulations and include addressing social costs and needs, such as the possibility of migrating nurses' families to the recipient countries.

Analysis of the Determinants of Stunting among Children Aged below Five Years in Stunting Locus Villages in Indonesia.

Determinants of stunting are a concern in stunting locus villages, especially in East Nusa Tenggara, the province with the highest prevalence of stunting in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the determinants of stunting in such villages. A cross-sectional research design was conducted on a sample of 166 mothers of children aged 24-59 months selected using a proportional random sampling method in four stunting locus villages in East Nusa Tenggara province, from January to March 2022. Chi-square and binary logistic regression were used to analyze the determinants of stunting with a significance level of p < 0.05. The prevalence of stunting among children aged below five years in the villages was 22.3%. Lack of maternal knowledge (AOR: 5.310; 95% CI: 0.671-41.997) and negative parenting (AOR: 3.026; 95% CI: 1.191-7.871) were associated with higher risk of stunting. Meanwhile, children aged below five years with close birth spacing (AOR: 0.304; 95% CI: 0.087-1.063) had a low risk of stunting. The prevalence of stunting in stunting locus villages needs special attention from the Indonesian government. Maternal knowledge should be enhanced by distributing information related to stunting through formal and non-formal education and teaching good parenting to reduce the prevalence of stunting among children aged below five years in stunting locus villages.
