Abstract

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) remain a global public health issue, with syphilis being one of the most prevalent. Syphilis, caused by Treponema pallidum, is transmitted through sexual contact and from mother to fetus. It can spread to genital tissues, causing painful sores that impact mobility, daily activities, and income among commercial sex workers (CSWs). This study examines factors associated with syphilis incidence among CSWs. A quantitative study with an observational case-control design was conducted. A total of 129 respondents were selected through purposive sampling with a 1:2 ratio between the case group (43 CSWs diagnosed with syphilis) and the control group (86 CSWs without syphilis). Secondary data were obtained from medical records, while primary data were collected using questionnaires via Google Forms. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test. The findings showed significant associations between age (OR: 7.479; p = 0.034) and education level (OR: 3.304; p = 0.022) with syphilis incidence. These results highlight the importance of age and education in syphilis occurrence. Targeted health interventions, including better education and improved healthcare access for CSWs, are essential in reducing syphilis cases.

Abstract

The prevalence of smoking among children and adolescents in Indonesia has been reported to have significantly increased, with more male adolescents smoking than female adolescents. A preliminary study conducted at SMAN X, Tangerang Regency, found that 7 out of 20 male students (35%) reported smoking. The high prevalence of smoking among adolescent males could lead to more serious health issues in the future. This study aims to identify the factors associated with smoking behaviour among male adolescents at SMAN X Tangerang Regency in 2024. The study used a cross-sectional study with 72 sample sizes of male adolescents. The sampling technique used in this study was total sampling. The researcher collected data from April to August 2024. Primary data was collected through a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with chi-square tests. Univariate results show the highest proportions: non-smoking behaviour (69.4%), low intention to smoke (83.3%), unsupportive social environment (56.9%), and exposure to health information (61.1%). Bivariate results reveal a relationship between intention to smoke (PR=2.86, 95%CI=1.56 to 5.25) and social support (PR=4.50, 95%CI=1.86 to 10.86) with smoking behaviour. The school should continue its efforts to prohibit smoking among students by posting posters about the dangers of smoking and signs prohibiting smoking, as well as implementing a program involving the role of guardians/parents to actively monitor and educate adolescent males about the dangers of smoking so that they do not smoke.

Abstract

The tempeh industry in Indonesia is a traditional household industry. The production waste is generally discharged directly into water bodies without prior treatment. This study aims to identify the level of pollution caused by tempeh liquid waste physically and chemically. Analysis was carried out with laboratory tests to determine the levels of pH, TSS, BOD, COD, colour, and odour produced. This study was conducted at 3 large tempeh industries in Bekasi from January to April 2025. The results of laboratory tests showed that the chemical and physical parameters did not meet the quality standards of the Minister of Environment Regulation No. 5 of 2014. COD measurements found 1 point that did not meet the quality standards of 629.47 mg / l, TSS inlet 221 mg / l and TSS outlet 65 mg / l, the highest BOD 22.50 mg / l due to the addition of chemicals to tempeh to accelerate fermentation. This study uses inferential statistical analysis. The pH parameters for both the inlet and outlet are <6.5. Discharge of waste directly into rivers results in an unpleasant odour from fermented soybeans and organic matter. Tempeh wastewater is recommended for processing organic fertiliser or biogas from anaerobic fermentation.

Abstract

Workers represent a population at risk of exposure to air pollutants in the workplace, rendering them vulnerable to various health impacts, particularly respiratory disorders. This condition is attributed to prolonged inhalation exposure over time. This study aims to assess the magnitude of health risks associated with occupational exposure to air pollutants and to identify respiratory complaints among workers. This study employed a descriptive quantitative design, utilizing risk assessment methods to estimate the exposure risk levels of carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), and total suspended particulate (TSP) in the workplace. The study population comprised production workers, selected via simple random sampling. The risk estimation indicated that the concentrations of CO, O₃, and TSP, were within acceptable safety limits. However, exposure to NO₂ exceeded safe thresholds, presenting non carcinogenic risks to workers with an average body weight of 66,48 kg, a daily exposure duration of 7,583 hours, and an annual exposure frequency of 236,99 days over a 12,85-year period. A significant proportion of workers reported respiratory symptoms and had previously been diagnosed with acute respiratory infections (ARI). Consequently, consistent use of personal protective equipment (PPE), particularly masks, is highly recommended to mitigate exposure to airborne pollutants.

Abstract

Clean and healthy living behavior is one of the efforts made to improve the level of environmental health in the community. An implementation strategy must be implemented to educate the community on the importance of managing the environment correctly and adequately. Organic waste processing with a composter is not a new technology, but it is considered easy and inexpensive to implement in every household, especially for food waste. This community service increases community knowledge and skills in processing organic waste using a simple composter. To enable the community to utilize appropriate technology for waste processing, this community service was conducted in the RT 03 RW 01 area of Teluk Pucung Village, North Bekasi District, from October 2024 to December 2024. This activity was conducted using the counseling method, a direct practice by residents assisted by Mawar II Posyandu cadres. This community service performance was conducted for 2 days with 40 RT 03 RW 01 participants. Based on the results of the pre-test and post-test conducted on Teluk Pucung residents, it was found that there was an influence of knowledge and skills of residents, p-value of 0.025 before and after education. There needs to be intensive assistance to cadres and residents in managing organic waste so that this program can run sustainably.

Abstract

ABSTRACT The repeated use of cooking oil among street food vendors remains a major concern in food safety due to the formation of toxic compounds that may harm consumer health. This study aimed to analyze the behavior, knowledge, attitudes, and factors influencing the repeated use of cooking oil among street vendors in Jatikramat Village, Jatiasih Sub-district, Bekasi City. A mixed-method approach with a cross-sectional design was employed. Quantitative data were collected using questionnaires from 101 vendors through total sampling, while qualitative data were obtained from in-depth interviews with three informants. The findings revealed that most vendors demonstrated poor practices, with 53.5% reusing cooking oil more than four times. The majority of respondents had higher education (66.3%), good knowledge (70.3%), and positive attitudes (56.4%), yet healthy practices were not consistently applied. Qualitative data indicated that vendors with sufficient knowledge tended to limit oil use to a maximum of three times, while those with limited knowledge reused oil more than four times, believing it had no impact on taste and being unaware of health risks. Economic reasons emerged as the main factor for oil reuse, as vendors sought to reduce production costs and maximize profit. This study concludes that there is a gap between knowledge, attitudes, and actual behavior, with economic constraints being more influential than education or knowledge. Continuous education, training, and supportive policies are needed to reduce the repeated use of cooking oil and protect public health. Keywords: Repeated Cooking Oil, Street Food Vendors, Behavior, Knowledge, Attitude, Mixed Method.  ABSTRAK Penggunaan minyak goreng berulang kali pada pedagang kaki lima masih menjadi isu penting dalam keamanan pangan karena berpotensi menghasilkan senyawa toksik yang membahayakan kesehatan konsumen. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perilaku, pengetahuan, sikap, serta faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi penggunaan minyak goreng berulang pada pedagang kaki lima di Kelurahan Jatikramat, Kecamatan Jatiasih, Kota Bekasi. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan mixed method dengan desain potong lintang (cross-sectional). Data kuantitatif diperoleh melalui kuesioner yang melibatkan 101 pedagang dengan teknik total sampling, sedangkan data kualitatif didapatkan melalui wawancara mendalam terhadap tiga informan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas pedagang memiliki perilaku penggunaan minyak goreng yang kurang baik, yakni menggunakan minyak lebih dari empat kali (53,5%). Sebagian besar responden memiliki pendidikan tinggi (66,3%), pengetahuan baik (70,3%), serta sikap positif (56,4%). Namun, perilaku sehat belum terwujud secara konsisten. Hasil kualitatif mengungkapkan bahwa pedagang dengan pengetahuan baik cenderung membatasi penggunaan minyak maksimal tiga kali, sedangkan pedagang dengan pengetahuan rendah menggunakan minyak lebih dari empat kali karena tidak mengetahui dampak kesehatan. Faktor ekonomi muncul sebagai alasan utama penggunaan minyak berulang, karena pedagang berusaha menekan biaya produksi dan meningkatkan keuntungan. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa terdapat kesenjangan antara pengetahuan, sikap, dan perilaku nyata pedagang, di mana faktor ekonomi lebih dominan dibandingkan faktor pendidikan maupun pengetahuan. Intervensi berupa edukasi berkelanjutan, pelatihan, serta kebijakan pendukung diperlukan untuk mengurangi praktik penggunaan minyak goreng berulang dan melindungi kesehatan masyarakat. Kata Kunci: Minyak Goreng Berulang, Pedagang Kaki Lima, Perilaku, Pengetahuan, Sikap, Mixed Method
