POTENTIAL OF ANTHOCYANINS FROM LAKUM FRUIT (CAYRATIA TRIFOLIA L.) AS AN ALTERNATIVE NATURAL DYE FOR PERIPHERAL BLOOD SMEARS
Background: Synthetic dyes such as Giemsa are widely used in hematological staining but pose challenges related to cost, toxicity, and accessibility. Anthocyanins, natural plant-derived pigments, offer a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the staining effectiveness of anthocyanin extract from Cayratia trifolia L (lakum fruit) on peripheral blood smear preparations at various concentrations. Methods: Lakum fruit extract was prepared at concentrations of 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%. Each was applied to peripheral blood smears and compared to Giemsa-stained controls. Staining performance was assessed based on a visual scoring scale (0–5), staining success rate, and color stability. Microscopic examination was conducted under 100x magnification. Results: The 50% extract showed the best performance, with a visual score of 4, a 90% staining success rate, and up to 6 hours of color stability. Lower concentrations (30% and 20%) resulted in weaker staining and reduced stability. Compared to Giemsa, lakum extract produced lower contrast but remained sufficient for basic morphological identification. Conclusion: Anthocyanins from Cayratia trifolia L demonstrate strong potential as a low-cost, non-toxic natural dye for educational and basic hematology screening purposes. Further optimization using mordants and quantitative color analysis is recommended to enhance staining performance.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SELF-AWARENESS AND PARENTAL BEHAVIOR IN IMPLEMENTING TOILET TRAINING IN TODDLER-AGE CHILDREN
The toddler period is a period of intensive environmental exploration because children are trying to find out everything that is happening, a problem that often arises during this period is difficulty controlling urination. Efforts that can be made to overcome this problem include toilet training. One of the factors that influences toilet training is self-awareness. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between self-awareness and parental behavior in toilet training toddlers. The method used in this study is quantitative correlation with a cross-sectional approach. The sample used was mothers who had toddlers totaling 164 people, using self-awareness instruments and toilet training behavior that had been tested for validity using the Pearson Product Moment correlation test on 30 respondents with the results of 29 questions containing 24 valid statements and on the behavioral instrument from 11 all questions were declared valid. The reliability test used Alpha Cronbach with the results of self-awareness at 0.909 and maternal behavior at 0.880 (r alpha > r table). Univariate analysis produces distribution and percentage, bivariate analysis uses the Spearman rank test with independent variables of self-awareness and dependent variables of behavior in toilet training in toddlers. The results showed that most respondents had low self-awareness (51.8%) and low behavior (54.9%). There is a relationship between self-awareness and toilet training behavior (p-value = 0.014). The self-awareness that mothers have can help control emotions and self-perception when toilet training children. It is hoped that health workers can intensively provide education to mothers who have toddlers do toilet training.

Based on social development, there are 57 (53.8%) respondents who have good social development. In the Spearman rank statistical test, the p value result is 0.00 (<0.05). Conclusion: There is a relationship between gadget use and emotional and social development in preschool children. Further research will examine the influence of maternal independence in maximizing the development of the social sector of preschool children.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE HISTORY OF ANEMIA IN PREGNANCY AND THE INCIDENCE OF STUNTING IN THE WORKING AREA OF THE BONTONYELEN HEALTH CENTER BULUKUMBA DISTRICT
Stunting is a serious health problem that can hinder optimal growth and development of children. One of the risk factors studied in this study is the history of anemia in pregnancy. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between history of anemia in pregnancy and the incidence of stunting in the working area of Puskesmas Bontonyeleng, Bulukumba Regency. This study used an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study were all stunted children in the area as many as 175 children, with a sample of 132 mothers who had data on hemoglobin levels during pregnancy. Data were obtained through medical records and Maternal and Child Health (MCH) books. Data were analyzed using the Chi Square test using a significance level of 0.1. The results showed that as many as 14.4% of mothers had a history of anemia during pregnancy, but there was no significant relationship between the history of pregnancy anemia and the incidence of stunting (p> 0.1). This indicates that stunting is not only influenced by maternal anemia during pregnancy, but also by other factors such as Chronic Energy Deficiency (CHD), history of Low Birth Weight (LBW), lack of maternal knowledge about nutrition, and genetic factors. This study suggests the importance of a more comprehensive approach to stunting prevention.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARENTAL SELF-EFFICACY AND INDEPENDENCE IN SELF-CARE OF CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER
Introduction:Autism spectrum disorder(ASD) is a condition of persistent deficits in initiating and maintaining social communication, social interaction, behavioral patterns, interests, and sensory activities that are limited and repetitive and atypical or excessive for the individual's age and or socio-cultural environment. One of the limited activities is the ability to care for oneself, or self care. The family plays an important role in building the ability and independence of ASD children in caring for themselves. However, this is often a challenge for parents and causes a decrease in self-efficacy. Parenting self-efficacy is the perception held by parents regarding their ability to face the role as parents to care for their children well. This study aims to determine the relationship between parental self-efficacy and the level of self-care independence in ASD children. Methods: The approach used is quantitative, with the Pearson correlation analysis method. Results: Based on the results of the Pearson analysis, there is a close relationship between self-efficacy and the level of self-care independence in ASD children with a sig. P-Value of 0.0005. The magnitude of the correlation coefficient in the data is 0.538, the direction of this correlation is positive, which means that the higher the level of parental self-efficacy, the higher the level of self-care independence in ASD children.
ANALYSIS OF PARENTS' KNOWLEDGE REGARDING EARLY MARRIAGE IN KUTAI KARTANEGARA DISTRICT
According to the United National Children's Fund (UNICEF), the incidence of early marriage has shifted to urban areas, this is marked by an increase in cases of early marriage in urban areas from 2% in 2015 to 37% in 2022. This means that cases of early marriage can occur anywhere and at any time, so parents and the environment must help children marry at the right age. Cases of early marriage are not new in Indonesia. Early marriage is a social problem that occurs among teenagers. The most victims of early marriage are teenage girls. In general, cases of early marriage occur more often in rural areas than urban areas, and often occur in poor families, with low education and school dropouts. The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between parental knowledge and early marriage. This type of quantitative research with a cross sectional analytical descriptive research design. The population in this research were all young women in Bukit Raya Village, totaling 80 respondents. The sample was 30 respondents. Non probability sampling method with purposive sampling technique. Data collection techniques use interviews. The data analysis technique uses univariate analysis with frequency distribution. The results of chi-square analysis using SPSS 25 software at an error level of 5%, obtained a p-value of 0.003 (p-value < 0.005). From these results, it can be said that there is a relationship between the level of parental knowledge and approval for early marriage.
