The coverage of complete basic immunization is still low in the working area of Mentawai Regency, which is 59.8%. The national target achievement is 95%, indicating a gap of 35.2%. The aim of this ...research was to identify the factors influencing the completion of basic immunization. The research method used is analytical research with a cross-sectional study approach. The sample in this research consists of children aged more than 9 months until 5 years, totaling 132 respondents. The respondents were selected using simple random sampling. The analysis includes univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses. The findings revealed that more than half of the respondents did not complete their basic immunization (63.2%), and more than half of them had a low level of knowledge (60%). Support from father was also lacking for more than half of the respondents (63.3%), and there were concerns about inadequate sociocultural factors (57.8%). There was a significant relationship between family support, sociocultural factors, and knowledge level with the completeness of basic immunization (P<0.001). The multivariate analysis indicated that having low father support resulted in a 7.3 times higher likelihood of incomplete immunization compared to having high father support. Therefore, the suggestion for this study is to improve not only the knowledge level of mothers but also to increase the knowledge of fathers, so that they can provide full support for their child's health.
Emotion regulation (ER) develops throughout childhood and contributes to a host of important outcomes, including social functioning, behavior, academic performance, and general health. The toddler ...years build the foundations for emotion regulation, with parents playing a key role in their children's emotional development. However, there is currently limited knowledge about the relations between parents’ own ER and how this may influence toddler ER. The current study investigated whether parental ER was related to toddler ER using a self-reported measure and observational measures. Data were drawn from Australian parents and their 18–36-month-old children recruited as part of a randomized controlled trial of a parenting program, Tuning in to Toddlers (n = 231). Measures included parent-report on Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) and direct observation of toddler ER. For a smaller sample of parents, an observation measure of parent ER was also available (n = 73). Moderation analyses revealed that when parents reported more ER difficulties, older toddlers had poorer ER. Younger toddler's ER was not affected by parent-reported difficulties. For the smaller sample of parent observation, those observed to have better ER, also had toddlers that regulated emotions more effectively. The results suggest that parent ER, either in terms of difficulties or skills, has an impact on toddler ER.
Objectives To determine the feasibility of implementing a broadband screen at the 1-year check-up to detect cases of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), language delay (LD), and developmental delay ...(DD). Study design The Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales Developmental Profile Infant-Toddler Checklist was distributed at every 1-year pediatric check-up; 137 pediatricians and 225 infants participated. Screens were scored immediately, and failures referred for further evaluation. Results Pediatricians screened 10 479 infants at the 1-year check-up; 184 infants who failed the screen were evaluated and tracked. To date, 32 infants received a provisional or final diagnosis of ASD, 56 of LD, nine of DD, and 36 of “other.” Five infants who initially tested positive for ASD no longer met criteria at follow-up. The remainder of the sample was false positive results. Positive predictive value was estimated to be .75. Conclusions The 1-Year Well-Baby Check-Up Approach shows promise as a simple mechanism to detect cases of ASD, LD, and DD at 1 year. This procedure offers an alternative to the baby sibling design as a mechanism to study autism prospectively, the results of which will enrich our understanding of autism at an early age.
Introduction: Rotavirus infection is one of the main causes of severe diarrhea and dehydration in toddlers. Climate variation is one of the factors that influence the outbreak of infectious diseases. ...This study aimed to clarify the relationship between climate variations and the incidence of rotavirus diarrhea among patients at the Soerya Mother and Child Hospital, Sidoarjo District in 2016 – 2019. Methods: This study used an ecological study with the Pearson correlation test. Rotavirus infection data was taken from the Viral Diarrhea Laboratory, Institute of Tropical Diseases, Universitas Airlangga, which was derived from fecal samples of patients with acute gastroenteritis with the unit of analysis at the individual level living in Sidoarjo district. Meanwhile, climate variation data were obtained from the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency Indonesia official website with units of analysis at the population level. Results and Discussion: The number of rotavirus diarrhea for 48 months as many as 149 cases with an average air temperature of 28.2℃, rainfall of 191.4 mm², humidity of 77.31%, and wind speed of 2.82 knots. There was a weak correlation between rainfall and the incidence of rotavirus diarrhea (p=0.01 r=0.367) and a weak correlation with humidity (p=0.016; r=0.347). Meanwhile, the air temperature (p=0.909 r=0.017) and wind speed (p=0.272 r=-0.162) had no relationship with the incidence. Conclusion: Rainfall and high humidity are factors associated with the prevalence of rotavirus diarrhea in children under-five years in the Sidoarjo District.
Introduction : Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive in children under five years of age due to chronic malnutrition so that children are too short for their age. Factors that cause stunting ...are maternal factors and poor parenting, especially in the behavior and practice of feeding their children. Parenting is very closely related to the growth and development of children, where children really need an adequate supply of food and nutrition. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that the prevalence of stunting under five is still a public health problem. Purpose : This study aims to determine the relationship between parenting styles. parents with the incidence of stunting in toddlers. Methods : The research design used in this study was analytic with a cross-sectional approach using primary data by measuring the height of toddlers. Sampling was carried out at Early Childhood Education Melati, East Semendawai District, East Oku Regency. The sample used in this study was 30 people who met the inclusion criteria. Data analysis using Chi Square. Results : The results of this study are that there is a relationship between parenting style and the incidence of stunting in toddlers in Early Childhood Education, Semendawai Timur District, East Oku Regency with a p-value = 0.000. Conclusion : From the results of this study it can be concluded that the parenting style applied by parents can influence the occurrence of stunting.
The incidence of short toddlers, or stunting, is a condition where toddlers have less height than their age. This condition is measured by length or height, which is less than minus two standard ...deviations of the WHO child growth standard median. This research aims to describe the incidence of stunting in infants and toddlers in the workplace. Research Method: This research is descriptive research with a retrospective approach. The population in the study were all children under five, with a total of 1297 people, and the sample was children under five who experienced stunting, as many as 126 people. The sampling technique in this study was a purposive sample using secondary data processed manually using a calculator and presented in the form of a frequency distribution table. Results of the study: The frequency of stunting incidents based on age that experienced the most stunting was 60 people (47.7%) aged 24-59 months, 80 people (63.4%) male sex, 108 short height people (85.8%). Conclusion: From the study results, it can be concluded that the most stunting incidents were from ages 24-59 months, male sex, and short height

Early intervention therapists rely on developmental milestone-focused assessments to identify deficits and justify services. However, these measures fail to assess a ...child’s ability to incorporate discrete skills into functional activities. The Infant Toddler Activity Card Sort (ITACS) will meet this need.

Play affords the opportunity for children to develop cognitive, motor, and social skills. Gaps exist in the literature related to temporal play characteristics in ...infants and toddlers. The goal of this study was to track the frequency and duration of different play behaviors. The average duration and average frequency increased for play object choice, play purpose, and play construction. An overall decrease in duration and frequency for play type occurred as the infants and toddlers matured (between 8 and 16 months).

The current study aims to examine the utility of the First Years Inventory, a parent-report screener for early identification of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as a ...potential tool for distinguishing ASD from other developmental delays. Despite being rarely addressed by previous studies in the field, the differentiation between these two outcome groups is critical for practitioners to be able to provide targeted interventions. Our findings suggest promising predictive validity for young infants.
