Fighting Stunting, UNISA and `Aisyiyah Health Assembly Collaborate

,

To fight stunting, Aisyiyah University (UNISA) Yogyakarta lecturers, namely Suryani, S. Kep., Ns. M.Med.Ed, Agil Dhiemitra Aulia Dewi, S.Gz., MPH and Andhita Dyorita Kh., S.Psi, M.Psi, Psychologist have carried out Community Service Grant Community Partnership Program (PKM) Directorate of Research, Technology, and Community Service (DRTPM) Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology Year 2024. The team, which is also the management of the Aisyiyah Health Assembly, carries the KISS Innovation for Empowering Stunting Self-Help Mother Groups as Handling Stunting Cases in the Aisyiyah Moyudan Sleman Yogyakarta Mother Group.

Fighting Stunting

The program began with training for the Stunting Self-Help Mother Group which was held Friday-Saturday, September 13-14, 2024 at KB Ananda Barepan, Sumber Rahayu, Moyudan Sleman. The training was attended by 16 mothers of toddlers and 6 Makes Moyudan administrators with material on the use of stunting mats for child growth detection, nutrition management exercises with a variety of local food menus, the use of diary meal plans for nutrition planning, and happy parenting with stress management. The training was completed with the provision of child growth detection media assistance packages and nutrition assistance for toddlers.

This program is a follow-up to the Nutrition assistance program by the Health Assembly of Aisyiyah D.I Yogyakarta Regional Leadership with Lazizmu DIY which has been provided since 2023. Managing the problem of stunting apart from nutritional assistance also requires the ability of mothers not only related to the type of menu but also the correct way of processing and healthy presentation to optimize children’s nutritional absorption, train parenting and stress management so that the role and resilience of mothers is more optimal and supports a positive atmosphere for child development and happy parents.

The program, which involves students from all three study programs, targets mothers as the main environmental factor that plays a role in child development. So that in this program, in addition to increasing the ability of mothers to manage stunting problems, the empowerment of the KISS Stunting Self-Help Mother Group is expected to optimize the role of mothers who have succeeded in dealing with stunting problems as a support group / support system for other mothers who are currently still experiencing stunting problems. This is the flagship of the KISS Swabantu Stunting program innovation.

This breakthrough was welcomed enthusiastically by the Moyudan Health Assembly Management and the fostered mother group. They claimed to have gained a lot of new experience and knowledge. In addition, with the KISS program, the fostered mothers are increasingly aware that the problem of stunting is not only a matter of diet, but also very much related to parenting, positive communication patterns and also healthy emotional management. The program evaluation showed positive results with an increase in the mother’s ability and readiness as a support group for the Stunting program.

Collaboration between Nursing, Nutrition and Psychology with synergy with Aisyiyah is an approach to be able to maximize the National Health Program by empowering groups of mothers to be more aware of the importance of nutrition, healthy parenting and stress management in fighting stunting.Tags:aisyiyah, banggamenjadiunisa, beunisa, stunting, unisayogya

The Impact of Gadget Addiction on Children

,

Gadget addiction is a condition where a person experiences excessive dependence on the use of gadgets, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other electronic devices. This condition is increasingly common in this digital era, where technology is increasingly sophisticated and facilitates access to information and social interaction. Gadget addiction can negatively impact a person’s physical and mental health, as well as affect productivity and quality of life.

Gadget Addiction

Based on BPS data, the number of gadget users for early childhood in Indonesia is 33.44%, with details of 25.5% of child users aged 0-4 years and 52.76% of children aged 5-6 years. This does not rule out the possibility of triggering gadget addiction in children. Gadget addiction in children is a phenomenon that is increasingly affected in this digital era.
According to a survey by the Indonesian Child Protection Commission, more than 71.3% of school-age children have gadgets and play them for a considerable portion of the day and as many as 79% of child respondents may play gadgets other than for learning.
But sometimes this is not realized by parents, so that many children experience gadget addiction, making children who spend too much time in front of the screen often experience various problems, ranging from sleep disorders, decreased academic achievement to social and emotional problems.
Therefore, through the Real Work Lecture (KKN) work program of ‘Aisyiyah University Yogyakarta by group 35 Kembang Margosari Kulon Progo, we conducted counseling activities on the dangers of gadgets in children which were carried out on August 25, 2024 with the target being PKK mothers totaling 30 people.
There were 9 students involved in the counseling event, namely, Anggayudha Al-aziz, Fernanda Rosmayanti, Sri Wulandari, Melda Aura Chintia, Lili Asnawiyah, Nabila Yusriya, Julita Mutiara, Katrin Septia Rini, Panggih Alfarisy.
There are several impacts caused by gadget addiction in children:

  1. Physical Impact
  2. Vision Problems: Prolonged exposure to screens can cause eyestrain, headaches, and damage to the child’s eyes.
  3. Sleep Disorders: Use of gadgets before bedtime can disrupt the quality and duration of a child’s sleep.
  4. Obesity: Children who are addicted to gadgets tend to be less physically active and gain weight.
  5. Psychological Impact
  6. Depression: Kids who are addicted to gadgets are at risk of depression and low self-esteem.
  7. Anxiety: Dependence on gadgets can lead to anxiety when the child cannot access them
  8. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Excessive gadget use can interfere with a child’s ability to concentrate on tasks at hand.
  9. Social Impact of Gadget Addiction
  10. Social Isolation: Children who are addicted to gadgets tend to withdraw from social interactions in the neighborhood.
  11. Poor Communication: The child has difficulty in establishing effective communication with the people around them
  12. Poor Relationships: Gadget addiction can disrupt a child’s relationship with family and friends.

Therefore, it is important to provide knowledge about the impact of gadget addiction on children and as parents must also pay attention to their children by giving time to play gadgets besides that parents can also play with children, and can also provide more useful activities for children.
Parents can also use a positive approach by providing rewards or incentives for children who successfully reduce gadget use and do alternative healthier activities. These rewards can be in the form of praise, small gifts, or special activities with the family. In addition, parents should set an example by managing their own gadget use wisely, showing that family time and non-digital activities are valuable.
With a consistent and positive approach, children will be more motivated to adopt healthy and balanced digital habits, creating fun and gadget-free daily routines, such as reading a book together before bed or taking a walk in the afternoon can also reinforce these good habits.
In addition, the environment and government must also pay more attention to the problem of gadget addiction if it is increasingly allowed to damage current and future generations. Hopefully, with this counseling, especially for parents, they can be more selective and pay attention to their children so as to reduce the number of gadget addiction in children.
