Abstract

Background: In 2022, East Nusa Tenggara recorded the highest number of HIV-AIDS cases in the province, with a total of 151 patients. HIV-AIDS infections are spread across six districts: Oebobo (27.8%), Maulafa (18.5%), Kelapa Lima (22.5%), Alak (16.5%), Kota Lama (4.6%), and Kota Raja (10%). HIV cases in Indonesia have fluctuated from 2019 to 2022 due to a significant percentage of high-risk behaviors exhibited by high-risk groups, including ship crew members. This study aims to analyze the factors related to HIV/AIDS risk behaviors in ship crew members. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at Tenau Port, Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia from November to December 2024. The study population consists of all crew members (ABK) on domestic cargo ships arriving and docking at Tenau Kupang Port in 2024, estimated to be 225 ABK. A simple random sampling technique was used, with 96 samples selected based on the Lemeshow formula. Data were collected using a questionnaire. Results: The chi-square test results revealed a significant relationship between knowledge (p = 0.029; OR = 2.734; 95% CI: 1.188–6.296), ship docking duration (p = 0.014; OR = 3.215; 95% CI: 1.342–7.702), and peer support (p = 0.000; OR = 27.586; 95% CI: 3.476–218.930) with HIV/AIDS risk behavior. Attitude (p = 0.272; OR = 0.455; 95% CI: 0.145–1.427), education (p = 1.000; OR = 1.136; 95% CI: 0.089–18.711), income (p = 0.587; OR = 0.587; 95% CI: 0.516–5.093), frequency of going home (p = 0.657; OR = 0.753; 95% CI: 0.324–1.752), and marital status (p = 1.000; OR = 0.948; 95% CI: 0.424–2.127) showed no significant relationship. It is necessary to increase socialization to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS prevention among ABK members and foster positive social support within the crew. Conclusion: There is a need to increase knowledge about the risks of HIV/AIDS through outreach and counseling.

Abstract

Background: The 2023 Global Tuberculosis (TB) Report ranks Indonesia second in the world for TB cases, with approximately 1,060,000 new cases and 134,000 deaths annually—equating to 17 deaths per hour. In East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province, pulmonary TB cases increased from 5,361 in 2020 to 5,184 in 2021, and significantly rose to 8,035 in 2022. Kupang Regency reported the highest number of TB cases in 2022. This study aimed to analyze the impact of risk factors, including population density, HIV/AIDS, and Diabetes Mellitus, on pulmonary TB cases using spatial analysis with the GeoDa application. Subjects and Methods: This ecological study, conducted in Kupang, Indonesia, between October and November 2024, uses secondary data from 2021 to 2023 as the research sample. The study includes all recorded pulmonary TB patients from the Kupang Health Office, with 441 cases in 2021, 785 cases in 2022, and 979 cases in 2023. Results: The Local Indicator of Spatial Association (LISA) test results show a low-high spatial relationship between HIV and TB variables in the Maulafa district for 2022-2023. Additionally, the diabetes mellitus (DM) and TB variables exhibit a High-Low spatial pattern in 2021 and a Low-High pattern in 2022 within the district. Regarding population density in 2021, a clustered spatial autocorrelation was observed (p-value = 0.049 < 0.05; [I] = 0.051 > E[I] = -0.200; Mean = 0.116; SD = 0.120), with a High-Low pattern in the Kota Lama district and a Low-Low pattern in Maulafa. From 2022 to 2023, a Low-High spatial pattern was identified in the Maulafa district. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate spatial autocorrelation between population density and pulmonary TB cases in Kupang City in 2021. However, from 2022 to 2023, no spatial autocorrelation was observed, and the same pattern was found for Diabetes Mellitus and HIV/AIDS.

Abstract

Computer vision syndrome is a group of eye and vision disorders due to prolonged use of smartphones. People who use their smartphone for 4 hours or more in a day are at risk of developing CVS. The results of a survey conducted on 10 students, there are 8 out of 10 students who have experienced CVS, with the most common complaints being tired eyes and headaches caused by smartphone use with a usage time of 4 hours / day. The purpose of this study was to identify CVS complaints and analyze the relationship between smartphone use in terms of gender, distance, length of rest and duration with CVS disorders in 2018-2020 FKM, UNDANA students during Work From Home (WFH). This type of research is analytic observational with a cross-sectional approach, the sampling technique uses stratified random sampling with a sample of 284 people and data collection uses a questionnaire in google form format. The results showed that as many as 247 students experienced CVS disorders with the most complaining symptoms being eye fatigue and the results of the chi-square test for the sex variable p = 0.250 (p>0.05) meaning there was no relationship between gender and the incidence of CVS, distance the use of p = 0.005 (p < 0.05) and the contingency coefficient = 0.165, it means that there is a very low relationship between the distance of smartphone use and the incidence of CVS, rest time p = 0.226 (p> 0.05) it means there is no relationship between rest time and the incidence of CVS, and duration of use p = 0.000 (p <0.05) and the contingency coefficient = 0.233 means that there is a low relationship between duration of use and the incidence of CVS. The conclusion is that the most complained of symptoms are eye fatigue and tension, while the least complaint is the eyes seeing twins and there is a very low relationship between distance of use and CVS, there is a low relationship between duration of use and CVS, while gender and rest time are not associated with CVS

Abstract

Stunting is a condition of failure to grow in children due to chronic malnutrition in the first 1000 days of life (HPK). The incidence of stunting in children can be caused by several factors, namely family income, history of infectious diseases, history of nutritional status, mother's education, parenting patterns, mother's knowledge, and food consumption patterns. The aim of this research is to determine the factors that determine the height coverage of children entering elementary school in Ende Regency. This type of research is quantitative with cross sectional research. A sample of 61 first grade elementary school students was selected using probability sampling. The research was conducted in August 2023-April 2024. Univariate and bivariate data analysis using the chi-square test. The test results showed the disease history factor (p-value : 0.027; ρ maternal knowledge about nutrition (p-value : 0.009; ρ x,y: 0.212; OR : 1.128; 95%CI : 0.003-3.131); consumption patterns (p-value : 0.002; ρ and nutritional status (p-value : 1 ; ρ of elementary school children in Ende Regency.
