Rosa Marita Krisnawati, Titik Haryanti — Tue, 20 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Stigma against HIV/AIDS patients (ODHIV) remains a significant issue in society, particularly among PKK (Family Welfare Movement) women. The purpose of this study is to describe the stigma that arises among PKK women toward (PLWHA) in Banaran Village, Grogol Sub-district, Sukoharjo Regency. Qualitative research using a phenomenological approach is the methodology employed. Information was gathered by conducting in-depth conversations with two PKK members and one HIV program officer from Grogol Health Center. The results indicate that the knowledge of PKK women about HIV/AIDS is still limited and tends to be general, although they do understand some basic aspects of HIV transmission. Stigma manifests in the form of negative prejudice, social exclusion, and excessive, unfounded fear of HIV transmission through physical contact. This lack of understanding is exacerbated by misinformation from social media and societal norms that reinforce moral stigma. The main cause of this kind of stigma is a lack of education. Therefore, educational efforts and the empowerment of PKK women as agents of change are essential to disseminate accurate information about HIV/AIDS. Empathetic, community-based education is a crucial step in reducing stigma and increasing social acceptance of people living with HIV.

Stunting is a condition of impaired growth and development in children due to chronic malnutrition, characterized by a height-for-age index below -2 SD according to WHO standards. The Kupang City Health Office reported an increase in stunting cases at the Manutapen Health Center from 149 to 194 cases. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the stunting prevention program at the Manutapen Health Center in 2024. A qualitative descriptive method with an evaluative approach was used, employing in-depth interviews as the primary data collection technique. Informants were selected using purposive sampling, which emphasizes the quality, credibility, and richness of information over the quantity of participants (Nitbani, 2019). Findings show that in the input component, human resources meet the required standards; however, insufficient funding and inadequate facilities and infrastructure hinder program optimization. In the process component, planning is carried out by the health office, with clear task distribution among staff. While implementation is running fairly well, the participation of mothers with toddlers remains low, necessitating improved supervision and evaluation mechanisms. As for the output, the program has not yet achieved the targeted reduction in stunting rates. Enhancing budget allocation in line with the number of beneficiaries, providing adequate SDIDTK tools at each posyandu, and ensuring continuous assistance and monitoring for mothers in administering supplementary feeding (PMT) at home are urgently needed.
