Abstract

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.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

Kekurangan Energi Kronis (KEK) adalah suatu kondisi dimana ibu hamil mengalami kekurangan asupan kalori dan protein atau sering disebut dengan malnutrisi pada masa muda, yang berlangsung selama bertahun-tahun (kronis) dan dapat menyebabkan gangguan kesehatan pada ibu hamil. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian quasi eksperimen dengan desain kuantitatif, menggunakan pendekatan one group pre-test post-test design. Populasi penelitian ini berjumlah 30 orang. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 30 orang yang diambil secara total sampling, yaitu seluruh populasi dijadikan sampel di Puskesmas Buhit pada tahun 2023. Analisis data menggunakan chi square. Hasil penelitian berdasarkan analisis penelitian yang telah dilakukan dengan menganalisis menggunakan uji wilcoxon, bahwa pada perilaku sebelum dilakukan intervensi penyuluhan dan pemberian buku saku nilai rata-ratanya 16,3 dan setelah dilakukan intervensi penyuluhan dan pemberian buku saku nilai rata-ratanya 27,3. Sedangkan pada perilaku sesudah dilakukan intervensi penyuluhan dan pemberian buku saku nilai rata-ratanya Nilai rata-rata buku saku 27,03 dan nilai P-value (0,000) < 0,05 yang berarti penyuluhan dan pemberian buku saku berpengaruh terhadap perilaku ibu hamil. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa ada pengaruh penyuluhan dan pemberian buku saku terhadap perilaku ibu hamil.

Abstract

Purpose: One of the risk factors for maternal mortality and morbidity is the undetected danger signs during pregnancy due to irregular ANC visits. The coverage of health services for visits by pregnant women K1 and K4 at the Berastagi Health Center has not reached the target set by the Karo District Health Office. Based on data for the last 3 months at the Berastagi Garden Health Center in 2019, the coverage of ANC services with the target number of pregnant women was 1158 (100%) (K1 and K4), namely in April K1 87 (7.5%) and K4 81 (7.0%), in in May KI 82 (7.1%), K4 80(6.9%), in June K1 80 (6.9%) K4 79 (6.8%). This coverage has not yet reached the minimum district/city health service standards. This study aims to determine whether "Determinants of Utilization of Antenatal Care Services by Pregnant Women at the Berastagi Health Center in Karo District in 2019". Method: This study used the Cross Sectional method with an analytical survey, with a total sample of 71 people. This study used the chi-square test data analysis method to determine a significant relationship between knowledge, husband/family support and health worker support. Results: The results of this study indicate that there is a relationship between knowledge, husband/family support (p=0.000), and health worker support (p=0.001) towards the utilization of antenatal care services where the p-value is below 0.05. Disscusion and Conclusion: In response to this, it is suggested to health workers, especially midwives, to remain active in providing support and motivation as well as counseling about the benefits of routine prenatal checks for pregnant women so that pregnant women have the willingness to have their pregnancies checked at the puskesmas.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension remains one of the leading non-communicable diseases worldwide and is closely associated with unhealthy lifestyle behaviors. Lifestyle factors such as dietary habits, physical activity, smoking, caffeine consumption, and family history may contribute to the development of hypertension. This study aimed to analyze the influence of lifestyle on the incidence of hypertension among the community in the working area of the Parmonangan District Health Center. Methods: This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional design and was conducted from April to May 2026. The study population consisted of 203 community members registered at the Parmonangan District Health Center, with a sample of 135 respondents selected using simple random sampling based on the Slovin formula. Data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate (Chi-square test), and multivariate (multiple logistic regression) analyses with a significance level of p < 0.025. Results: The bivariate analysis showed significant relationships between family history (p=0.001), dietary habits (p=0.025), smoking habits (p=0.034), duration of smoking (p=0.007), number of cigarettes smoked per day (p=0.025), and caffeine consumption (p=0.012) with the incidence of hypertension. However, physical activity (p=0.556) and cigarette type (p=0.078) were not significantly associated with hypertension. Multivariate analysis revealed that family history was the strongest predictor of hypertension (OR=22.732; 95% CI=7.736–66.804; p=0.001). Conclusion: Lifestyle factors, particularly dietary habits, smoking behavior, smoking duration, cigarette consumption, and caffeine intake, are associated with the incidence of hypertension. Family history was identified as the most dominant risk factor. Preventive strategies should emphasize healthy lifestyle promotion, smoking cessation, moderation of caffeine intake, healthy dietary practices, regular blood pressure screening, and early intervention for individuals with a family history of hypertension.
