PENGARUH PENDIDIKAN KESEHATAN CUCI TANGAN TERHADAP PERILAKU CUCI TANGAN DI TK AISYIYAH BUSTANUL ATHFAL BALONGUMBULHARJO CANGKRINGAN SLEMAN YOGYAKARTA

Background: Improving the quality of life of children one of which isdetermined by plantingearly child health behavior. Behavior of school children are very varied. If not recognized early, these health problems will affect the learning achievements and future children. Health behavior is a person's response to stimuli or objects associated with illness and disease, health care systems, food, drinks and the environment. Many children do not wash their hands before eating, so it can result in bacteria that is in the hand will be brought in with the food through the mouth and throat to the digestive tract so that the occurrence of gastrointestinal disease.Objective: Knowing the effect of health education hand washing behavior of hand washing in TK Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal Balong umbulharjo Cangkringan Sleman Yogyakarta.Research methods: This type of research is one group pretest posttest.Research has been conducted kindergarten Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal BalongUmbulharjo Cangkringan Sleman Yogyakarta for 2 days commencing on 26 April to 28 April 2014.Results: The results of paired samples correlation calculations indicate thatthere is significant influence effect of health education hand washing behavior of hand washing with sig.

An extended theory of planned behavior for parent-for-child health behaviors: A meta-analysis

Objective: We conducted a meta-analysis of studies examining the determinants of behaviors performed by parents to promote the health of their child, referred to as parent-for-child health behaviors, based on an extended theory of planned behavior. The study also used meta-analyzed correlations among theory of planned behavior constructs, planning, and past behavior to test theory predictions and effects of salient moderators. Methods: A systematic search identified 46 studies that provided correlations between at least one theory construct and intention or behavior for parent-for-child behaviors. Theory predictions were tested using meta-analytic structural equation modeling. Studies were also coded for candidate moderators of model effects: child age, sample type, time lag between measures of theory constructs and parent-for-child health behavior, behavior type, and study quality, and estimated the proposed model at each level of the moderator. Results: Results supported theory predictions with attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control predicting parent-for-child health behavior participation mediated by intention. Perceived behavioral control and planning also directly predicted behavior, and planning partially mediated effects of intention on behavior. Model effects held when controlling for past behavior, supporting the sufficiency of the theory in this behavioral domain. Few moderator effects were found on relations between theory constructs. Conclusions: Findings identified the social cognition determinants of parent-for-child health behaviors, and highlight the potential processes by which they relate to behavior. The current model signposts potentially modifiable targets for behavioral interventions aimed at fostering parental participation in behaviors that promote the health of their children.

Association between Access to Electronic Devices in the Home Environment and Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Children

This study examined the association between access to electronic devices in the home and cardiorespiratory fitness in children. Participants were children aged 8–12 years from a local elementary school (n = 106, mean age = 9.7 + 1.1 years, male = 50). Child access to electronic devices was measured with a 37-item parent-reported questionnaire. Estimated maximal aerobic capacity (VO2 Peak) was calculated from The Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run (PACER) using a validated algorithm. The association between access to electronic devices in the home and cardiorespiratory fitness was explored by employing hierarchical ridge regression, using the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) model, controlling for the covariates of sex, age, and Body Mass Index (BMI). Controlling for sex, age, and BMI, the number of electronic items in a child’s bedroom was significantly inversely related to the estimated VO2 Peak (b = −1.30 mL/kg/min, 95% C.I.: −2.46 mL/kg/min, −0.15 mL/kg/min, p = 0.028) and PACER laps (b = −3.70 laps, 95% C.I.: −6.97 laps, −0.41 laps, p = 0.028) However, the total number of electronic items in the home and total number of electronic items owned did not significantly relate to the estimated VO2 Peak (p = 0.847, 0.964) or the number of PACER laps (p = 0.847, 0.964). Child health behavior interventions focused on the home environment should devote specific attention to the bedroom as a primary locus of easily modifiable intervention.

Rural Parent Support of Child Health Behavior in the Home Environment: A Qualitative Study on an American Indian Reservation

Background. Obesity rates are disproportionately high among rural and American Indian (AI) children. Health behaviors contributing to child obesity are influenced by parents at home. Engaging parents remains a challenge, particularly among low-income and ethnic minority families. Aims. The aim of this study was to learn how AI parents living on a rural AI reservation support and engage with their children’s nutrition and physical activity behaviors at home. Methods. Parents with children ages 6 to 12 years living on one, rural AI reservation participated. Focus groups and interviews were conducted, using a 14-question moderator’s guide. A systematic, iterative content analysis was applied to the transcripts. Results. Twenty-five parents (52% AI or Alaska Native) participated in 3 focus groups (n = 17) and interviews (n = 8). Themes related to enhancers included role modeling and whole family and child-initiated activities. Barriers included resources, child safety concerns, driving distances, and competing family priorities. Themes related to strategies for change included opportunities for peer learning from other local families, creating fun, program support for all supplies and incentives, and incorporation of storytelling and multicultural activities. Discussion. This study advances knowledge to promote parental engagement with child health behavior in the home, including unique themes of inclusiveness, culture-focused, and intergenerational activities. Conclusion. Results may inform interventions seeking to engage parents living in rural and AI reservation communities in home-based child behavior change efforts.
