Abstract

Agriculture forms a vital component of Indonesia’s economy, yet pesticide use poses significant occupational health hazards, particularly skin disorders from exposure. This study aimed to analyze the association between farmer characteristics, behavior, and pesticide spraying patterns with the incidence of skin disorders among citrus farmers in Aji Mbelang Village, Karo Regency. A quantitative analytical cross-sectional study was conducted involving 30 citrus farmers selected through accidental sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire assessing demographic variables, behavioral factors, and pesticide spraying patterns. Univariate and bivariate analyses, including chi-square tests, were performed to explore associations between independent variables and skin disorder incidence, with significance set at p<0.05. The majority of respondents were male (86.7%), aged over 36 years (43.3%), and had completed senior high school (46.7%). The prevalence of skin disorders was high (90.0%). Most farmers demonstrated poor knowledge about pesticide risks (60.0%) but exhibited positive attitudes (86.7%) and safety practices (76.7%). Contradictorily, 96.7% engaged in high-risk spraying behaviors. Age was the only statistically significant variable associated with skin disorders (p=0.044), with all farmers over 32 years reporting skin disorders. Skin disorders are highly prevalent among citrus farmers and significantly associated with older age. The findings reveal a gap between positive safety attitudes and hazardous field practices, highlighting the need for targeted educational interventions to enhance knowledge and promote safer pesticide application to mitigate dermal health risks.

Abstract

Practicing Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (CHLB) plays a vital role in developing students’ healthy habits from a young age. At Bulanjulu Village Elementary School, the application of CHLB is affected by factors such as students’ knowledge, the role of teachers, and the availability of sanitation facilities. This research employed a quantitative descriptive method with a cross-sectional design, involving all 32 students from grades III to VI. Data were gathered through questionnaires and observations, then analyzed using the chi-square test. The findings revealed a significant correlation between knowledge level (p = 0.000) and teacher roles (p = 0.001) with the practice of CHLB, while observations revealed generally adequate sanitation facilities, though improvements were needed in canteen hygiene, waste management, and handwashing facilities. These findings indicate that enhancing students’ knowledge, strengthening teacher involvement, and improving facilities can effectively promote CHLB. In conclusion, sustainable educational interventions and facility improvements are necessary to create a healthy and supportive school environment.

Abstract

Hospital Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) encompasses a range of activities aimed at ensuring and protecting the safety and health of all hospital personnel, patients, patient companions, visitors, and the hospital environment. These efforts are undertaken through the prevention of workplace accidents and occupational diseases. This research aimed to analyse the relationship between nurses' behaviour and the implementation of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) in the Emergency Department (ED) of Hospital X, Central Tapanuli, in 2025. This study employed a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. A sample of 31 nurses participated in the research, and data were collected via questionnaires. The collected data were subsequently analysed using univariate and bivariate tests, specifically the Chi-Square test. The bivariate test results indicated a significant association between nurses' knowledge and the implementation of OHS in the ED (p-value = 0.002 < 0.05). Similarly, a significant association was found between nurses' attitudes and the implementation of OHS in the ED (p-value = 0.001 < 0.05). Based on these findings, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between the actions of nursing staff and the implementation of OHS in the ED of Hospital X, Central Tapanuli, in 2025. The implications of this research highlight the need for enhanced understanding and knowledge of OHS implementation among healthcare professionals in the ED of Hospital X, Central Tapanuli.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

Background: Climate change significantly impacts the epidemiology of vector-borne diseases. Dengue, transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, is highly sensitive to climatic shifts, and global cases are surging. A clear understanding of how rising temperatures affect vector bionomics is essential for public health. This scoping review aims to synthesize recent evidence (2018–2025) on the relationship between climate change, particularly temperature, and the Aedes life cycle and dengue transmission.   Methods: We conducted a scoping review using the Xiao and Watson (2019) framework. Systematic searches were performed in Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar for experimental, modeling, and field studies published between 2018 and 2025. Following screening based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, 13 studies were included. Data were extracted and synthesized qualitatively to identify key themes.   Results: The findings reveal a complex, non-linear thermal relationship. Vector fitness (e.g., survival, fertility) peaks at 25°C–30°C but declines under "heat stress" (>32°C) despite faster development times. Critically, the thermal optimum for disease transmission (R₀) is higher, peaking at 29°C–31°C, driven by a heat-accelerated Extrinsic Incubation Period (EIP) of the virus. This discrepancy fuels a "dual threat": intensification of epidemics in endemic regions and expansion of vector habitats into temperate zones. This aligns with epidemiological data showing the global dengue burden approximately doubled between 1990 and 2021.   Conclusions: Climate change is an unequivocal amplifier of the global dengue threat, fundamentally altering Aedes bionomics and transmission potential. This reality necessitates a paradigm shift from reactive to predictive public health, mandating expanded surveillance in newly vulnerable regions. Major research gaps persist regarding the synergistic effects of rainfall, humidity, and diurnal temperature fluctuations (DTR).

Abstract

Background: Inadequate diet, socioeconomic condition, and maternal and child characteristics can damage stunted children under five's mental and physical development. As a result, they have difficulty developing physically and cognitively, have low intellectual abilities, are more susceptible to disease, and have less creativity and innovation. Objective: This study seeks to investigate and summarize the determinants of stunted children under five.Materials and Methods: The study used a scoping review method. The literature search was carried out on indexed databases of Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, Crossref, and Pro-Quest in English and Indonesian. There were 720 research articles, and 18 of them met the inclusion criteria. From the 18 journals, information was collected from the publication year 2015-2021. Relevant study articles related to the topic were analyzed qualitatively using NVIVO-12 Plus.Results: Our findings identify that maternal education, low birth weight (LBW), gender, exclusive breastfeeding, parental income, parental age, and child age are the dominant determinants of stunting among under-five children.Conclusion: Higher risk factors of stunting among children are parents' lack of knowledge, low family income, low nutrition, low level of mother's education, and lack of parents' supervision and parenting skills.
