Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a significant public health challenge in Indonesia, including the city of Medan. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, demographic distribution (by sex and age group), and mortality rates of DHF in Medan from 2021 to 2024. This study used secondary data from reports provided by the Medan City Health Office, which compiled information from all public health centers (Puskesmas) in the region. Analysis of the data revealed that the pediatric age group (5–14 years) was the most affected population. The distribution of cases showed a relatively balanced proportion between males and females. DHF mortality rates fluctuated annually, with a notable downward trend observed in 2024. These findings underscore the critical need to strengthen DHF prevention and control programs, with a specific focus on vulnerable age groups and high-incidence areas. This study is expected to serve as a foundational resource for public health policy planning and to enhance the capacity of primary healthcare services to effectively manage DHF cases.

Health issues, potentially triggered by environmental conditions and human behaviour, represent a complex challenge, particularly in Indonesia where environmentally related diseases remain a primary cause of mortality. This study aimed to ascertain the spatial distribution of Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF), Tuberculosis (TB), and diarrhoea in the city of Medan. The research employed a descriptive analysis of DHF and TB case data aggregated by sub-district, encompassing population, age group, and sex distribution. Acute diarrhoea case data were collected from various community health centres (puskesmas) in Medan City, categorized by puskesmas location, patient age, and dehydration status. The results revealed significant variations in the number of DHF cases across Medan's sub-districts, with Medan Helvetia recording the highest incidence. The distribution of TB cases also varied, with Medan Deli exhibiting the highest number of reported cases. For diarrhoea, Puskesmas Helvetia reported the highest number of cases. The discussion delves into the factors influencing the spatial distribution of these three diseases, including population density, environmental determinants, community behaviour, access to healthcare services, and sanitation conditions. In conclusion, the study highlights that the spread of infectious diseases in Medan City is influenced by a variety of interacting factors. Effective prevention and control efforts necessitate a comprehensive, multi-sectoral approach focusing on robust surveillance, community empowerment, improved access to healthcare, and the enhancement of environmental and sanitation conditions.

This study aimed to characterize stunting among children under five years of age in Medan Belawan, North Sumatra, Indonesia, a sub-district with a high prevalence of this public health challenge. Employing a quantitative descriptive design, data were retrospectively collected from records of 40 stunted toddlers at the Belawan Community Health Center in 2024. The analysis examined maternal and parental characteristics, as well as the demographic and anthropometric profiles of the toddlers, including gender, age, weight, height, and nutritional status. The results indicated that the demographic profile was predominantly composed of mothers with lower educational attainment, most having completed only junior or senior high school. Parental occupations were mainly homemakers and fishermen, reflecting the local socioeconomic context. Stunting was more common among male toddlers (57.5%) and those in the older age group (2.6–5 years), who accounted for 70% of the sample. Anthropometric measurements confirmed the severity of stunting, with 55% of toddlers classified as severely stunted and a significant proportion identified as underweight or severely underweight. Despite the high prevalence of stunting, the majority of toddlers were classified as well-nourished based on weight-for-height indices, suggesting that chronic growth failure rather than acute malnutrition constitutes the primary nutritional concern. These findings underscore the multifactorial and complex nature of stunting in this vulnerable population, emphasizing the roles of socioeconomic and environmental determinants beyond mere caloric deficiency.

Phytoremediation, a technique that employs plants to extract pollutants from soil and water, offers a promising solution for mitigating water contamination from liquid waste. This method is characterized by its simplicity, cost-effectiveness, high efficacy, and minimal environmental impact. It can also be aesthetically integrated into various settings to address pollution. A notable plant used in this process is the water hyacinth. Despite its rapid growth and classification as an invasive weed that can harm aquatic ecosystems, the water hyacinth possesses significant potential for environmental remediation. This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group to evaluate the effectiveness of water hyacinth in reducing key pollutants. The study's primary objective was to quantify the reduction of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and phosphate levels in laundry liquid waste. A comparative analysis was conducted between an experimental group, where water hyacinth was utilized, and a control group. The study was conducted at the Environmental Health Engineering and Disease Control Center Class 1 Medan laboratory. Laundry wastewater was analyzed using spectrophotometry. The results indicated that phyto-aeration with water hyacinth was only able to achieve a 57% reduction in phosphate levels, decreasing the concentration from 1.52 mg/L to 0.65 mg/L. Further research is needed to optimize the phytoremediation process, particularly by increasing the remediation time and plant density. These modifications could potentially improve water quality by elevating dissolved oxygen (DO) levels and enhancing the biological degradation of pollutants.

Welding workers are vulnerable to various accident risks, such as electric shock, fire, and explosion, which can result in serious injury and even death. One of the main causes of work accidents is failure to use personal protective equipment (PPE). This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of video and leaflet-based counseling methods in improving knowledge, attitudes, and actions related to the use of PPE among welding workshop workers. A quasi-experimental study with a non-randomized pretest-posttest control group design was conducted in Tanjung Gusta Village, Medan, involving 36 welding workshop workers who were divided into intervention (video) and control (leaflet) groups. The results showed that both extension methods significantly improved workers' knowledge, attitude, and action scores (p<0.05). However, video counseling showed a greater advantage, with a higher mean score increase and a significantly higher N-Gain value (61.8) compared to leaflet (43.3) (p<0.001). Mann-Whitney analysis confirmed that the intervention group using the video showed a significant increase in mean knowledge, attitude and action scores compared to the control group. This study concludes that video education is more effective than leaflets in improving PPE use among welding workshop workers. Integration of video-based education into occupational health programs is recommended to improve worker safety behavior.
