Abstract

Kondisi Provinsi Maluku yang secara geografis berupa laut-pulau, menjadikan transportasi laut menjadi sangat penting dalam menunjang kelangsungan hidup masyarakat di sana.6 misalnya sebagai seorang nelayan, speed boat (body) menjadi salah satu transportasi yang menggunakan mesin berat dan juga sebagai transportasi mode laut, yang pada umumnya berukuran kecil sehingga jarak antara mesin dan pengemudi bahkan sebagian penumpang sangat dekat dengan mesin. Kebisingan merupakan salah satu faktor lingkungan fisik yang dapat mempengaruhi kesehatan pekerja.3 Salah satunya yakni nelayan, yang merupakan pekerjaan yang sering terpapar dengan bising mesin yang dihasilkan oleh mesin penggeraknya sehingga dalam kurun waktu akan terjadi gangguan pendengaran pada pengemudi tersebut. Hal ini menjadi perhatian penulis untuk mengadakan penyuluhan terkait gangguan pendengaran akibat bising pada nelayan di desa latuhalat. Metode kegiatan program pengabdian masyarakat berupa edukasi penyuluhan kesehatan indera dilakukan sosialisasi di Negeri Latuhalat. Peserta yang mengikuti edukasi penyuluhan kesehatan indera adalah masyarakat di Negeri Latuhalat yang mayoritasnya berprofesi sebagai nelayan. Didapatkan 34 orang yang mengikuti penyuluhan tuli akibat bising, dimana 2 orang bekerja sebagai jibu-jibu, 17 orang bekerja sebagai nelayan bobo dan 15 orang bekerja sebagai nelayan bodi. Hasil dari kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat adalah masyarakat dapat memahami dan mengerti tentang apa itu tuli akibat bising, tanda dan gejala serta bagaimana cara pencegahan dan penanganannya.

Abstract

Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) is a nutritional issue that poses a threat to adolescents in Indonesia, particularly to adolescent girls. According to the 2018 Basic Health Survey (Riskesdas), the proportion of CED among adolescent girls in Indonesia was 36.3%. This study aimed to identify the factors associated with CED among adolescent girls in the catchment area of Poka-Rumah Tiga, Ambon City. The study was conducted in August 2022 and used a cross-sectional approach with total sampling. The respondents were students aged 15-19 years from three high schools/equivalents in the catchment area of Poka-Rumah Tiga Health Center (SMKN 5 Ambon, SMAN 3 Ambon, and MA Al-Mabrur), with a total of 441 respondents. CED was determined based on the mid-upper arm circumference size being less than 23.5 cm. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with CED in adolescent girls. Of the 441 adolescent girls who participated in this study, 45.80% were found to have CED. The odds of CED were lower in adolescent girls with normal BMI (18.5-22.9 kg/m2) (OR=0.09; 95%CI: 0.05-0.15; p less than 0.001) and overweight (≥23 kg/m2) (OR=0.01; 95%CI: 0.00-0.07; p less than 0.001) compared to those who were underweight (BMI less than 18.5 kg/m2). This study highlights the importance of conducting nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions for adolescent girls. This includes raising the awareness and knowledge of adolescent girls, family members, and school teachers regarding the importance of balanced nutrition to reduce CED.

Abstract

Nosocomial infections occur in patients and healthcare workers in hospitals during the course of treatment or while working in healthcare facilities. Full awareness is needed, especially for health and non-health workers, to pay more attention to nosocomial infection prevention behaviour. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with nosocomial infection prevention behaviour of health and non-health workers in Rumah Sakit Khusus Daerah (RSKD) Maluku Province in 2023. This study was a quantitative analytical that used a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique used was total sampling. The results showed that age was not significantly associated with nosocomial infection prevention behaviour with p value (0,097). Meanwhile, the variables length of service, sex, and knowledge were related to preventive behaviour with p value (0.000). Regarding the sex variable, it was found that women had good infection prevention behaviour, with 80.6%, or 54 respondents. In comparison, men had less good infection-prevention behaviour, with a percentage of 43.4% or 13 respondents. The average length of service with good nosocomial infection prevention behaviour was 5-10 years and more than 10 years. In the knowledge variable, 68 respondents (91.9%) had good knowledge, while 20 respondents (87%) had lack of knowledge. Therefore, it was necessary to increase awareness of nosocomial infection prevention behaviours to reduce the incidence of nosocomial infections in hospitals and to ensure the safety of patients, healthcare and non-healthcare workers, and visitors.

Abstract

Tuberkulosis (TBC) masih menjadi masalah kesehatan global yang signifikan, terutama di Indonesia dan Provinsi Maluku. Penyakit ini menyerang baik orang dewasa maupun anak-anak, dengan peningkatan kasus pada anak yang cukup mengkhawatirkan. Program Terapi Pencegahan Tuberkulosis (TPT) telah diperkenalkan untuk mengurangi penularan TBC, namun cakupannya masih rendah di beberapa wilayah. Penelitian ini merupakan studi kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus di Puskesmas Air Besar, Kecamatan Sirimau, Kota Ambon, yang dilaksanakan pada bulan Mei 2024. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dengan 8 orang tua dan 2 tenaga kesehatan, serta analisis dokumen. Orang tua yang memberikan TPT kepada anak mereka umumnya memahami manfaatnya dalam mencegah penularan TBC. Namun, pemahaman mereka terhadap kemungkinan efek samping masih terbatas. Alasan utama pemberian TPT adalah untuk mencegah penularan penyakit kepada anggota keluarga lain, khususnya anak-anak. Meskipun ada kesadaran akan pentingnya TPT, masih terdapat tantangan dalam implementasinya, terutama terkait pemahaman yang terbatas tentang efek samping obat. Edukasi kesehatan yang lebih intensif sangat diperlukan untuk memastikan keberlanjutan pengobatan yang tepat bagi anak-anak yang berisiko terpapar TBC. Peningkatan cakupan TPT dan pemahaman masyarakat menjadi kunci dalam menekan penyebaran TBC di komunitas.

Abstract

Background: Anemia is a global health problem common in both developed and developing countries, often caused by nutritional deficiencies, including low intake of fruits and vegetables. Adolescent girls are particularly at risk due to monthly menstrual blood loss. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between fruit and vegetable consumption and the incidence of anemia among adolescent girls in three high schools in Central Maluku in 2024. Methods: This was a quantitative analytical study using a cross-sectional design. The population consisted of students from SMA Negeri 15, SMA Negeri 44, and SMA Negeri 48 Central Maluku. A total of 102 respondents were selected using a total sampling technique. Anemia status was measured using the Hemocue device, and data on fruit and vegetable consumption were collected using the Commcare application. Data analysis was performed using the Spearman test. Results: The prevalence of anemia among respondents was 36.3%. Meanwhile, 63.7% reported regularly consuming fruits and 55.9% regularly consumed vegetables. Conclusion: There was no statistically significant relationship between fruit (p = 0.504) and vegetable (p = 0.587) consumption and the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls in the selected Central Maluku high schools in 2024.

Abstract

Although modern medicine continues to develop, traditional medicine is still widely used in various parts of Indonesia, including the natural resource-rich Maluku Province. Socioeconomic conditions are thought to influence people’s dependence on traditional healing practices. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between socioeconomic status and the use of traditional medicine in East Seram District (ESD), Maluku Province. A cross-sectional household health survey was conducted in September-December 2023 among 253 respondents aged 18-65 years in eastern Seram Island. A quantitative-descriptive approach was used with structured interviews and multivariate logistic regression analysis. A total of 45.8% of respondents reported using traditional medicine, especially herbal concoctions. Individuals who do not pay for health insurance membership tend to use traditional medicine (aOR=2.87, 95% CI: 1.66-5.00, p<0.001). Similarly, respondents with low educational attainment (aOR=1.71, 95% CI: 1.00–2.92, p= 0.048) were more likely to use traditional medicine. These results suggest the importance of socioeconomic factors in the use of traditional medicine. Health promotion strategies need to be adapted to the local and cultural context to encourage rational and safe utilization of traditional medicine.
