2025-06-23T04:10:04+00:00

This study aims to analyze the empirical nutritional quality (energy, protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamin A, calcium, iron and phosphorus), organoleptic quality and determine the best treatment level of Nuggets with red bean and catfish formulation as supplementary food for wasted under five years old children. This study employed an experimental approach with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of three treatment levels. The nugget formulation was developed by modifying the proportions of catfish, chicken meat, and red beans with the following ratios: P0 = 0:100:0, P1 = 25:48:27, P2 = 33:40:27, and P3 = 41:32:27. Organoleptic tests by 25 semi-trained panelists assessed color, aroma, taste, and texture using a hedonic scale. Statistical analysis utilized Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests to determine significant differences, while the best formulation was identified using effectiveness index analysis. In this study the best formulation, consisting of 41% catfish, 32% chicken, and 27% red beans (P3), showed an Overcome Value (OV) of 0.884 and provided 359.94 kcal, 15.67g protein, 20.94g fat, and 27.17g carbohydrates per 100g. No significant preference difference was found between the control and P3 treatments. Future studies should focus on optimizing frying conditions to improve nugget color.

A Case Study of Nutritional Care Process in Postoperative Uterine Myoma Patients with Anemia and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

2025-10-21T04:35:42+00:00

Uterine myoma is one of the benign tumors that is often found in reproductive-age women and often requires surgical intervention. Postoperative conditions become more complex when accompanied by comorbidities, iron deficiency anemia and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) which can slow recovery progression. The aim of this study is to describe the nutritional care process of patients after uterine myoma surgery with anemia and T2DM, including assessment, diagnosis, intervention, as well as monitoring and evaluation. The study design used an instrumental single-case study on a 43-year-old female patient who was hospitalized in the operating room for 4 days. Data were collected through anthropometric measurements (Mid Upper Arm Circumference/ MUAC and ulna length), biochemical analysis of medical records, daily 24-hour recall, Semi Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ), and pre/post test. The results showed that patients experienced malnutrition based on MUAC (18.3 cm), severe anemia (Hb 7.9 g/dL), and hyperglycemia (blood glucose 284 mg/dL). Intake of energy, protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, and iron was classified as a severe deficit before the intervention. After feeding a high-protein DM diet with small and frequent portions, the average intake increased to 79.9% energy and 108.5% protein from the daily requirement. Nutrition education improves patient knowledge scores even though the changes are not significant. In conclusion, structured nutritional interventions are able to improve the nutritional adequacy of patients even though the improvement in nutritional status has not been significant in a short time.

ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SANITATION HYGIENE, FOOD QUALITY, AND SERVICE QUALITY TOWARDS INPATIENT SATISFACTION LEVEL IN FOOD PROVISION AT WAVA HUSADA HOSPITAL KEPANJEN

2025-10-22T07:55:59+00:00

Abstract

Background: This study examines patient satisfaction with hygiene and sanitation, food quality, and service quality in the food service at Wava Husada Hospital in Kepanjen. Hospital food quality plays a crucial role in supporting patient recovery, in addition to medication. Food tailored to the patient's condition serves as a supporting factor for healing. Furthermore, food and room cleanliness also influence comfort and accelerate the recovery process. Methods: The research used a quantitative descriptive approach, using the Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) and Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) to measure patient satisfaction, and the Spearman correlation test to determine the relationship between variables. Data were obtained through questionnaires distributed to patients who had received food service at the hospital. Results: The study showed a CSI score of 81.3%, indicating that patients were very satisfied with hygiene and sanitation, food quality, and service quality. However, based on the IPA analysis, seven out of 35 aspects needed further attention to improve service quality. Spearman's correlation test showed no significant relationship between sanitation hygiene, food quality, and service quality and patient satisfaction (p-value > 0.05). Conclusion: Patient satisfaction is very high, although improvements are needed in several areas to provide optimal service.

Farmers' Personal Hygiene to Prevent Exposure to Soil Transmitted Helminth (STH) Infection Agents

2025-10-24T09:36:41+00:00

STH (Soil-Transmitted Helminth) infection remains a complex problem in endemic areas today, especially in developing countries with significant challenges to the population's lack of environmental sanitation and personal hygiene. This study aims to prevent work accidents and provide knowledge about occupational health and safety to farmers using complete PPE to avoid exposure to STH worm infections. Literature or reference searches conducted during the literature review use three web journal databases: Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct. Some words are searched using the keywords "Farmer" AND "Soil-Transmitted Helminth " AND "Infection" OR "Infectious" AND "Personal Hygiene ." The articles use ten journal articles spanning the last five years. Worm infection caused by Soil-Transmitted Helminth is a public health problem in Indonesia. The risk of worm infection or STH can be prevented through improved personal hygiene and education to change the pattern of behavior of farmers who are not good, especially when in direct contact with the soil.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FOOD PORTION SIZES AND ENERGY AND NUTRITIONAL INTAKE LEVELS AND NUTRITIONAL STATUS OF FEMALE STUDENTS IN AN ISLAMIC BOARDING SCHOOL IN SINGOSARI, MALANG REGENCY

2025-10-22T07:57:32+00:00

Islamic boarding schools, as boarding institutions, are responsible for fulfilling the nutritional needs of their students, especially adolescent girls who require high intake for growth. Food portions that do not meet standards can cause energy and nutrient deficits, thus impacting nutritional status. This study aims to analyze food portion sizes, energy and nutrient consumption levels, nutritional status, and the relationship between variables in female students at one of the Islamic Boarding Schools in Singosari.. The study used a cross-sectional design with 41 respondents. Data were collected through weighing food portions for three days and 1x24-hour recalls, analyzed using the Spearman correlation test. The results showed that most staple food portions (51.2%), plant-based side dishes (78%), and all vegetable portions (100%) were insufficient. The level of energy consumption was classified as moderate deficit (36.6%), normal protein (39%), severe fat deficit (100%), normal carbohydrate (43.9%), and mild iron deficit (31.7%). Most students had normal nutritional status (90.2%). There was a significant relationship between staple food portions and energy and carbohydrate consumption levels, and plant-based side dish portions and protein consumption levels. As well as the level of energy, protein, and carbohydrate consumption with nutritional status (p<0.05).
