Verbal abuse of school-aged children needs to be addressed immediately because it can damage self-confidence and disrupt emotional and social development at a crucial stage of character formation. A preliminary study at UPTD SPF SDN Cindogo 1 in Bondowoso Regency indicated low self-confidence among students due to verbal abuse. This study aims to analyze the relationship between verbal abuse and self-confidence in school-aged children at UPTD SPF SDN Cindogo 1 in Bondowoso Regency. This study employs a quantitative correlational cross-sectional design. The study population and sample consist of all students at UPTD SPF SDN Cindogo 1 in Bondowoso District, totaling 97 respondents, using total sampling technique. Data were collected through verbal abuse and self-confidence questionnaires, then analyzed univariately and bivariately using the Spearman Rho test with a significance level of α=0.05. It was found that 65% of students experienced moderate verbal abuse, and 35% experienced severe verbal abuse. Regarding self-confidence levels, 56% had moderate self-confidence, 29% had low self-confidence, and 15% had high self-confidence. The Spearman Rho test yielded a p-value of 0.000 (&lt;0.05), indicating a significant relationship. The correlation coefficient obtained was -0.343, indicating a moderate, significant negative correlation between verbal abuse and self-confidence among school-aged children at UPTD SPF SDN Cindogo 1 in Bondowoso District. An increase in verbal aggression is correlated with a decrease in self-confidence. Fostering empathy and making schools safe and enjoyable places will have a positive impact on their mental and social development.</em></p> Joan Franco Abrar Dzulfi Zaidhane Copyright (c) 2025 Mando Care Jurnal 2025-12-30 2025-12-30 4 2 139 – 150 139 – 150 10.55110/mcj.v4i2.239 Hubungan Quarter Life Crisis dengan Tingkat Harga Diri pada Mahasiswa Fakultas Ilmu Kesehatan Universitas Muhammadiyah Jember https://mcj.yamando.id/index.php/MCJ/article/view/240 <p><em>Quarter life crisis (QLC) is a developmental crisis phase in early adulthood characterized by anxiety, confusion about life direction, and social pressures, all of which can contribute to low self-esteem. Students of the Faculty of Health Sciences at Muhammadiyah University of Jember are also not exempt from this phenomenon, which may impact their psychosocial and academic well-being. This study employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach to analyze the relationship between QLC and the risk of low self-esteem among these students. The study population comprised all active students totaling 553 individuals, with a sample of 232 respondents selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Quarter Life Crisis Scale and Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale questionnaires, and analyzed with the Spearman Rank (Rho) test at a significance level of α = 0.05. The study revealed that most students were in the low QLC category (46%) and had moderate levels of low self-esteem risk (65%). There was a tendency for higher levels of QLC to be associated with higher risks of low self-esteem. The Spearman test showed p = 0.000 (&lt;0.05) with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.523, indicating a significant, strong, and positive relationship between QLC and the risk of low self-esteem. There is a significant relationship between quarter life crisis and the risk of low self-esteem among students of the Faculty of Health Sciences at Muhammadiyah University of Jember. The findings of this study recommend strengthening the role of academic advisors in providing psychosocial support, as well as encouraging active parental involvement through open communication and emotional support to help students cope with Quarter Life Crisis and prevent the risk of low self-esteem.</em></p> Rizki Ghifari Pratama Copyright (c) 2025 Mando Care Jurnal 2025-12-30 2025-12-30 4 2 151 163 10.55110/mcj.v4i2.240 Pengetahuan, Sikap dan Status Remaja Putri terkait Kurang Energi Kronik (KEK) di SMAN 2 Mamuju https://mcj.yamando.id/index.php/MCJ/article/view/241 <p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) among adolescent girls is a serious concern due to its long-term implications for reproductive health. This study aims to describe the knowledge, attitudes, and nutritional status of adolescent girls regarding CED at SMAN 2 Mamuju. A descriptive survey method with a quantitative approach was employed. The sample consisted of 165 female students from grades X and XI, selected through proportional simple random sampling. Data collection was conducted using questionnaires and anthropometric measurements, including Body Mass Index for Age (BMI/Age) and Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC). The results showed that the majority of respondents had moderate knowledge (50.9%) and a positive attitude (97.6%) toward CED. Nutritional status based on BMI/Age indicated that most adolescents had good nutritional status (81.2%), whereas MUAC measurements revealed that 47.9% were at risk of CED. These findings highlight a discrepancy between knowledge and positive attitudes versus actual practices in maintaining proper nutrition among adolescent girls. Continuous, practice-based nutrition education involving schools, healthcare providers, and families is needed to reduce the prevalence of CED in this population.</em></p> Uswatun Hasanah Nurbaya Nurbaya Najdah Najdah Zaki Irwan Muhammad Dzulifsal Al-Fath Copyright (c) 2025 Mando Care Jurnal https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 2025-12-30 2025-12-30 4 2 164 174 10.55110/mcj.v4i2.241 Impact of Emo-Demo IYCF Education on Dietary Intake and Growth Indicators in Children Under Two in Rural Area https://mcj.yamando.id/index.php/MCJ/article/view/255 <p><em>Limited maternal knowledge of infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices contributes to inadequate dietary intake and poor nutritional status among children under two years old.

This study uses a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach and is carried out in the working area of the Stunting Locus Health Center. The sample consisted of 210 mother-child pairs selected using the proportional random sampling technique. Maternal mental health was measured using the Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20), while the child's nutritional status was determined based on the indicators of height by age (TB/U) and body weight by age (BB/U) according to WHO standards. Data analysis was carried out descriptively, bivariate using chi-square test, and multivariate using multiple logistic regression. The results showed that the prevalence of maternal mental health disorders was 39.0%, with the proportion of stunting and underweight children at 24.8% and 21.9%, respectively. Mothers with mental health disorders have a higher risk of having stunted and underweight than mothers without mental disorders.

There was a strong significant correlation between energy intake and WAZ (Weight-for-Age) indices (p=0.01; r=0.642), HAZ (Height-for-Age) indices (p=0.000; r=0.684), and child development levels (p=0.023; r=0.524). However, no significant correlation was found between energy intake and body proportionality or the WHZ (Weight-for-Height) index (p=0.545), indicating a homeostatic adaptation phenomenon of being short but proportional. This study concludes that daily energy intake is a primary determinant that simultaneously dictates the quality of physical growth and the maturity of central nervous system functions in toddlers.</em></p> Rizky Febriyanti Supriadi Beauty Octavia Mahardany Erna Amin Copyright (c) 2025 Mando Care Jurnal https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 2025-12-30 2025-12-30 4 2 296 309 10.55110/mcj.v4i2.297 Pengaruh Pemberian Makanan Tambahan (PMT) Berbahan Pangan Lokal terhadap Status Gizi Balita: Studi Pra-Eksperimental di Puskesmas Minasatene Kabupaten Pangkep https://mcj.yamando.id/index.php/MCJ/article/view/293 <p><em>Nutritional problems in toddlers remain a public health challenge, especially in areas with a high prevalence of stunting and malnutrition, such as Pangkep Regency. One of the interventions implemented by the government is the provision of supplementary feeding (PMT) made from local foods to improve the nutritional status of toddlers. This study aims to determine the effect of providing PMT made from local foods on the nutritional status of toddlers in the working area of ​​the Minasatene Community Health Center, Pangkep Regency. This study used a quantitative design with a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest approach. The study was conducted in August 2025 with a sample of 49 toddlers who received PMT, using a total sampling technique. Data were collected by measuring body weight before and after the PMT intervention for 60 days, then analyzed using a paired t-test. The results showed an increase in toddler body weight after PMT administration, with a change in nutritional status from undernutrition and severe malnutrition to mostly normal nutrition. Statistical tests showed a significant difference between body weight before and after the intervention (p&lt;0.05). It can be concluded that the provision of PMT made from local foods has a significant effect on improving the nutritional status of toddlers in the working area of ​​the Minasatene Community Health Center, Pangkep Regency.</em></p> Halisah Halisah Titus Tambaip Hanriska Awidiya Putri Tenny Tarnoto Erni Agit Ekawati Yuniarti Ekasaputri Burhanuddin Copyright (c) 2025 Mando Care Jurnal https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 2025-12-31 2025-12-31 4 2 310 317 10.55110/mcj.v4i2.293
