Abstract

Hipertensi merupakan penyakit tidak menular yang semakin menjadi perhatian utama dalam bidang kesehatan, dengan prevalensi dan insidennya yang terus mengalami peningkatan setiap tahunnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan kebiasaan merokok, usia, dan aktivitas fisik pada penderita hipertensi. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian deskriptif kuatitatif dengan sampel 94 penderita hipertensi, yang diambil melalui teknik Accidental Sampling. Penelitian dilakukan pada wilayah kerja Puskesmas Ampibabo, Kecamatan Ampibabo Kabupaten Parigi Moutong. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penderita hipertensi dengan kebiasaan merokok berjumlah 44 orang (46,8%), dan sebagian besar berusia > 59 tahun sebanyak 70 orang (74,5%). Dari segi aktivitas fisik, 15 orang (15,9%) melakukan aktivitas ringan, 9 orang (9,6%) aktivitas sedang, dan 70 orang (74,5%) aktivitas berat. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa mayoritas penderita hipertensi memiliki kebiasaan merokok, berusia > 59 tahun, dan melakukan aktivitas fisik berat.

Abstract

Background: Aedes mosquitoes are the main vectors of dengue fever (DF), which remains a public health problem in Indonesia. Excessive use of chemical repellents can cause adverse effects on humans and the environment, so safe and effective natural alternatives are needed. This study aims to determine the protective power of langsat peel extract (Lansium domesticum) as a repellent against Aedes sp. mosquitoes. Method: Experimental with a post-test only with a control group design. The variations in extract concentration used were 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30%, with five repetitions. The parameters observed were the number of mosquitoes that landed during six hours of observation every five minutes, and the results were analyzed descriptively and quantitatively using the protection power formula  Result: The results showed that the protective power of langsat peel extract increased with concentration, namely 84% at a concentration of 15% (not protective), 95% at 20% (highly protective), and 100% at 25% and 30% (highly protective). Conclusion: Langsat peel extract with a concentration of ≥20% is effective as a natural repellent against Aedes sp. mosquitoes and has the potential to be developed as an environmentally friendly natural repellent base ingredient

Abstract

Pesticides are chemical substances used to control or eradicate pests and are considered toxic compounds that may pose health risks to farmers. Organophosphate pesticides can enter the human body through the digestive system, respiratory tract via inhalation, and unprotected skin surfaces. This study aimed to analyze the association between educational level, knowledge, spraying position, spraying frequency, length of employment, and blood cholinesterase levels among farmers in Parigi Moutong Regency. This study employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 41 pesticide-spraying farmers from Balinggi Jati Village were included as respondents using a purposive sampling technique. Data collection was conducted through interviews using structured questionnaires and blood cholinesterase examinations performed by health personnel from Prodia Laboratory, Palu. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results showed that there were no statistically significant relationships between age and blood cholinesterase levels (p = 0.846), educational level (p = 0.879), gender (p = 0.548), length of employment (p = 0.854), spraying frequency (p = 0.252), spraying position (p = 0.132), and knowledge level (p = 0.879). In conclusion, age, gender, educational level, knowledge, spraying position, spraying frequency, and length of employment were not significantly associated with blood cholinesterase levels among farmers in Parigi Moutong Regency. Nevertheless, continuous education regarding safe pesticide use and the implementation of proper occupational safety practices remain important to minimize the risk of pesticide exposure among farmers.
