The appetite experienced by toddlers is at risk of causing nutritional disorders, which can have a negative impact on health, such as stunting. Efforts are being made to overcome toddler appetite issues through innovation in the form of Koya Nate. This research examined the impact of Koya Nate, an innovative intervention, on the appetite of stunted toddlers in Surabaya. Using a quasi-experimental approach with a pre-post design, 16 toddlers aged 1-5 years participated, with 8 in the intervention group and 8 in the control group. The study found a significant influence on the appetite of toddlers in the intervention group after the intervention (Sig. 0.000), while there was no significant change in the control group without intervention (Sig. 0.157). A comparison between the two groups revealed a significant influence on appetite in the intervention group compared to the control group (Sig. 0.000). This suggests that Koya Nate has a positive impact on the appetite of stunted toddlers, addressing issues of picky eating. The study emphasizes the importance of innovative approaches in presenting food menus to toddlers facing appetite-related nutritional challenges. The findings highlight the potential of Koya Nate as an effective intervention for improving the appetite of stunted children, contributing to efforts to combat nutritional disorders and prevent negative health impacts such as stunting.

Penyakit TB Paru merupakan penyakit infeksius dan menular sampai saat ini masalah kesehatan masyarakat. Hasil studi pendahuluan penduduk yang berada didaerah pesisir diperoleh kesehatan lingkungan rumah masih ada beberapa yang belum memenuhi syarat rumah sehat. Tujuan penelitian menganalisis pengaruh kesehatan lingkungan rumah pada pasien TB paru di Puskesmas Kenjeran Surabaya. Desain penelitian yang digunakan case control study dengan pendekatan retrospektif. Sampel pada penelitian menggunakan rasio 1:1 dengan jumlah 66 untuk kasus dan 66 untuk kontrol. Instrument pengumpulan data menggunakan lembar observasional, kuesioner, luxmeter dan hygrometer dilakukan dengan cara simple random sampling. Data dianalisis menggunakan Chi-Square. Hasil yang diperoleh bahwa terdapat pengaruh antara humanian space, kelembaban, pencahayaan, ventilasi udara dan jenis dinding rumah terhadap Pasien TB di pesisir Surabaya dibuktikan dengan analisis data diperoleh nilai p-value< 0,05. Hal ini dikarenakan sebagian besar kondisi rumah responden yang terdapat diwilayah pesisir sangat padat penduduknya dalam satu rumah sehingga suplai oksigen didalam tubuh kurang dan ditunjang juga dengan luas ventilasi udara kurang maksimal.

Traditional divers in Surabaya’s coastal area face challenges despite the abundance of marine resources. This study aims to explore the factors that related to the quality of life among these divers. The research followed an observational analytic approach with a cross-sectional design. The study involved 31 traditional divers from Kedung Cowek Village in Surabaya, randomly selected based on specific criteria. The research utilised the Health Belief Model theory to assess individual beliefs and the WHOQOL-BREF tool to measure their quality of life. The individual beliefs were categorised into five indicators: perceived vulnerability, perceived severity, perceived obstacles, perceived benefits, and self-efficacy. Out of these factors, two had a significant influence on the quality of life of traditional divers: perceived benefits (p = 0.009) and self-efficacy (p = 0.020). The study concludes that the quality of life for traditional divers in the Surabaya coastal area is primarily influenced by perceived benefits and self-efficacy. It suggests that nearby healthcare facilities could offer health education to traditional divers, focusing on specific protective measures to reduce the risks associated with diving, such as barotrauma and decompression sickness.
