Health Status and Quality of Life in Depok Slum Communities through Stunting Prevention
Subject
health status, hygiene and healthy living behaviors, slum areas, stunting;
Description
Background: There are 11 slum areas in Depok City. Slums are
correlated with populations that are easily exposed to diseases
and have limited economic capabilities, resulting in the lack of
hygiene and healthy living behaviors (PHBS), including
adequate nutritional needs. This living condition poses a risk of
reducing the quality of life of the residents. This research aims to
determine the correlation between health status and quality of
life to prevent stunting among residents in slum areas of Depok
City.
Methods: This study employed a quantitative cross-sectional
research design. A total of 160 respondents were selected using
a non-probability quota sampling technique from a population of
400 heads of households across four identified urban slum areas.
Data were collected using the World Health Organization
Quality of Life–BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) instrument and were
analyzed using Chi-Square test.
Results: All dimensions of the health status variable namely
physical environment, social conditions, economic conditions,
mental health, healthcare support, and family support
demonstrated a significant relationship with each dimension of
quality of life, including physical health, psychological health,
social relationships, and environmental well-being (all
dimensions p < 0.05). All independent variables showed p-values
< 0.05 based on Chi-Square analysis.
Conclusion: Given the proven significant influence of health
status on the quality of life of residents in slum areas, it is hoped
that the Depok City government will undertake development
efforts to improve these slum areas so that the Human
Development Index (HDI) of Depok City can be achieved,
thereby fulfilling the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
