Abstract

Diarrheal disease remains a critical public health concern in Indonesia, particularly among children under five, where it ranks as a leading cause of morbidity. This study investigates the persistently high diarrhea prevalence among children aged 24–59 months in Paluh Sibaji Village, Pantai Labu District. Indonesia's SKI 2023 reported a national prevalence of 7.4% in under-fives, peaking at 11.5% among the 1–4 age group. Focusing on this coastal community, the study uniquely examines the combined influence of environmental conditions and personal hygiene behaviors. Data were collected from 70 children aged 24–59 months and their mothers, randomly selected from 232 households. The researcher wanted to see if things like the condition of their toilets, access to clean water, and their hygiene practices were linked to whether or not the children had diarrhea. The result showed that over 30% of the children had experienced diarrhea. The analysis revealed strong associations between the condition of toilets, access to clean water, personal hygiene, and the occurrence of diarrhea. While the numbers suggest a strong link, other factors the researcher did not measure or potential biases in how the data were collected could be influencing these results. Personal hygiene seemed to have the strongest connection to diarrhea. In conclusion, the study emphasizes that a combination of sanitation issues and hygiene habits is significantly linked to diarrhea in this coastal community. Future studies that follow children over time could help us better understand the causes of diarrhea and rule out other contributing factors.

Abstract

Introduction: Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) remain a critical indicator of healthcare quality and patient safety. HAIs contribute to increased morbidity, prolonged hospitalization, higher healthcare costs, and mortality. At Lukas Hilisimaetano Hospital, the incidence of HAIs exceeded the national minimum service standard of <1.5%, reaching 10.73% in 2023 and 7.31% in 2024. These findings suggest that the implementation of infection prevention and control (IPC) policies in the hospital has not been fully optimized. Based on Edward III’s policy implementation theory, policy implementation is influenced by communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. This study aimed to analyze organizational and behavioral factors associated with IPC policy implementation among nurses. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted from May to November 2025 at Lukas Hilisimaetano Hospital. All 45 nurses working in inpatient units were included using total sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and observation sheets measuring communication, resources, disposition, bureaucratic structure, and IPC policy implementation. Instrument validity was assessed through expert review, and reliability testing showed acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha >0.70). Data were analyzed using Chi-square and binary logistic regression. Results: Communication (OR=7.90; p=0.003), resources (OR=9.44; p=0.001), disposition (OR=14.40; p=0.001), and bureaucratic structure (OR=8.20; p=0.001) were significantly associated with IPC policy implementation in bivariate analysis. Multivariate analysis showed that disposition (AOR=8.26; 95% CI: 1.77–38.58; p=0.008) and resources (AOR=4.71; 95% CI: 1.13–19.58; p=0.033) remained significantly associated. The strong association between disposition and IPC implementation highlights the importance of behavioral commitment among nurses in supporting infection prevention practices. Conclusion: IPC policy implementation is associated with both organizational and behavioral factors, with disposition emerging as the strongest associated factor. Findings should be interpreted cautiously due to the cross-sectional design and small sample size. Strengthening behavioral commitment and ensuring adequate resources may support improved IPC implementation in similar settings.

Abstract

The Medan City Government has enacted Regional Regulation No. 3 of 2014 concerning Smoke-Free Areas (SFA) to protect the public from exposure to tobacco smoke in public facilities. However, its implementation remains inconsistent across sectors and compliance remains low. This study aims to analyze the implementation of SFA regulations in Medan Baru District, Medan City, using William C. Edwards III's policy implementation framework, which focuses on communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. Informants were determined purposively, representing implementers, supervisors, and policy targets. The SFA regulation has been socialized but not consistently. Limited human resources, insufficient budget, irregular monitoring, and the lack of SFA signage are weaknesses in implementing the SFA regulation. Policy implementers understand the policy objectives but remain weak in commitment. The bureaucratic structure, although the division of tasks between agencies is clear on paper, suffers from weak inter-agency coordination, SOP compliance, and law enforcement. Commitment from all parties is required to implement the SFA regulation in Medan City, as almost all sectors still have weaknesses in its implementation.
