Abstract

There is a lot of helminth infections and malnutrition cases in Indonesia. Some of the effects of helminth infection are anemia, diarrhea, malnutrition, intestinal obstruction, growth and developmental disorder, and also cognitive impairment. This study aimed to explore the impact of nutrition, helminth infection, and lifestyle on elementary school students’ achievement. An observational analytical study with the cross-sectional design was used. The study was participated by 65 elementary school students grade 3, 4, and 5. The study was conducted in Pasir Panjang Elementary School, Kupang, Nusa Tenggara Timur, Indonesia. The data was analyzed using chi-square. There were 7 students (10.77%) having helminth infections:4 students (57.1%) had Ascarislumbricoides infection, 2 students (28.6%) had Enterobius vermicularis infection, and 1 student (14.3%) had Strongyloides stercoralis infection. There were no differences found on students’ achievement between students with normal and low nutritional state (p = 0.917; p > 0.05) and between different lifestyle habit  (p = 0.768;  p > 0.05). However, a significant difference in students’ achievement was found between students with and without helminth infection (p = 0.036; p < 0.05). Helminth infection had a significant impact on elementary school students’ achievement, but no significant impact found for differences in nutritional state and lifestyle habit.

Abstract

Introduction: Amfoang District is one of malaria-endemic areas in East Nusa Tenggara Province. The areas are adjacent to the shore at the lowland and adjacent to the forest at the highland respectively. Residential areas are surrounded by forest, shrubs, field, streams and pools of water. Most population work as farmers, have low education levels and do not use mosquito bed netObjectives: This study aims to investigate the factors that influence the incidence of malaria risk and determine the pattern of clustering of cases in the Amfoang Barat Daya, District of Kupang, Nusa Tenggara Timur.Methods: Mass blood surveys were conducted to investigate malaria cases in three villages in October 2011, January 2012 and April 2012. The 3,515 blood samples were collected for thick blood film. Riskfactors were identified through questionares and OR were calculated. Significance was assumed at p <0.05. Coordinates were taken from residence of patients by GPS and analyzed with Purely Spatial Bernaullymodel to investigate any cluster of malaria cases. River with potentials breeding place was buffered 1km by ArcGis to determine whether malaria cases were in the mosquito fly distance areas.Results: Dry land farmer, education, malaria symptomatic, habitual of sleep outdoors, farming and fishing (06.00pm-06.00 am), outdoors gathering (06.00pm-06.00 am), wooden wall, mosquito wire, ventilation, plafond, animal shelter distance, breeding place and climate were insignificant for prevalence of malaria. Bed nets and breeding place were significant for prevalence of malaria. Potential of malaria vectors (An. barbirostris and An. sundaicus) were found in lowlands but was not found in highlands. Bed nets is protective factor from incidence of malaria. One primer most likely cluster and 3 secondary clusters were insignificant.Conclusion : Lowland has risk from malaria. The use of bed nets during 06.00pm – 06.00am is as protective factor for malaria OR 0.1.Keyword:Amfoang Barat Daya, risk factormalaria, thick blood smear, Anopheles sp., bed nets,mapping

Abstract

Scabies, a parasitic dermatosis caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis, is a public health concern in congregate living environments such as dormitories, where suboptimal health literacy facilitates sustained transmission. This quasi-experimental study assessed the efficacy of a role-play-based health education intervention on scabies-related knowledge among adolescent residents of the Advent Secondary School Dormitory in Noelbaki, Central Kupang, Indonesia. Knowledge was measured using a validated 10-item questionnaire administered immediately pre- and post-intervention. Data analysis utilized descriptive statistics and the non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test, with statistical significance defined as p < 0.05. Results demonstrated a significant increase in mean knowledge scores from 50.51 (SD = 15.75) to 91.73 (SD = 9.95). Categorization of knowledge levels revealed a pronounced shift: the proportion of participants with inadequate knowledge declined from 63.3% to 0%, while the proportion with adequate knowledge increased from 7.1% to 89.8%. The Wilcoxon test confirmed a statistically significant improvement in post-intervention scores (p < 0.001). These findings indicate that a targeted, role-play educational intervention is an effective pedagogical strategy for significantly enhancing scabies prevention literacy in high-density residential settings, warranting consideration for integration into broader public health initiatives aimed at mitigating communicable skin diseases.

Abstract

Scabies persists as a public health challenge in resource-limited rural areas. This study aimed to analyze the association between knowledge level and personal hygiene practices with scabies incidence and to identify the dominant factor in the working area of Sonraen Health Center. A case–control study was conducted on 66 subjects (33 cases and 33 controls) from June to July 2025. Cases were selected by total sampling from medical records, while controls were chosen via simple random sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and clinical observation, analyzed with the Chi-Square test and binary logistic regression. The knowledge level showed a statistically significant relationship with scabies incidence (p = 0.012). Multivariate analysis showed that respondents who had good knowledge (p = 0.013; AOR = 5.65; 95% CI: 1.14 – 27.91) and personal hygiene were not significant in the final model (p = 0.164), although respondents with fairly good hygiene had an Odds Ratio value of 3.21 95% CI: 0.96 – 10.70 with a p value = 0.058. Knowledge acts as the dominant protective factor against scabies in Sonraen. Public health interventions should prioritize contextual health education on household-based scabies prevention.

Abstract

The increasing number of elderly individuals in Indonesia has led to a higher prevalence of degenerative diseases, including hyperuricemia. Elevated uric acid levels are often associated with a sedentary lifestyle and low physical activity. Elderly individuals living in social institutions tend to have uniform activity patterns and limited mobility, which may increase their risk of developing elevated uric acid levels. To analyze the relationship between physical activity intensity and uric acid levels among elderly residents at the Kupang Elderly Social Welfare Technical Implementation Unit (UPTD). This was an analytical study with a cross-sectional design involving 45 elderly participants selected through purposive sampling. The intensity of physical activity was assessed using the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) questionnaire, while uric acid levels were measured using a Glucose, Cholesterol, and Uric Acid (GCU) Meter Device. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Spearman’s Rho test at a significance level of p < 0.05. Most respondents were aged 60–69 years, and the majority were female. Most elderly participants had low physical activity levels and elevated uric acid levels. The Spearman’s Rho test showed a significant relationship between physical activity intensity and uric acid levels (p < 0.05). There is a significant relationship between physical activity intensity and uric acid levels among elderly individuals at the Kupang Elderly Social Welfare UPTD. Regular physical activity with appropriate intensity according to individual capacity is important to maintain purine metabolism balance and prevent the risk of hyperuricemia.

Abstract

Malaria remains a major public health problem in eastern Indonesia, and anemia is a frequent complication among infected individuals. Objective: To analyze the correlation between Plasmodium parasite density and anemia status among residents of Mau Bokul Village, East Sumba. This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional design with consecutive sampling and included 194 respondents. Malaria diagnosis was established through microscopic examination of Giemsa 3%–stained thick blood smears, while hemoglobin levels were measured using a digital device. The association between variables was analyzed using Spearman’s correlation test (p < 0.05). The findings showed a malaria prevalence of 4.1% (8/194), while anemia was identified in 17.52% (43/194) of respondents. All malaria-positive individuals were anemic, with a mean hemoglobin level of 7 g/dL, and most were classified as having severe anemia. Spearman’s test revealed a significant negative correlation between parasite density and hemoglobin levels (r = –0.318; p < 0.001), indicating that increasing parasite density is associated with decreasing hemoglobin concentrations. Parasite density shows a positive correlation with anemia status, underscoring the need for strengthened malaria control and anemia management in endemic settings. Recommendations: Integrate routine Hb screening in malaria case management and reinforce vector control and chemoprevention strategies.

Abstract

Malaria remains a major public health challenge in eastern Indonesian and anaemia is a principal haematological complication with notable clinical and functional consequences. Community-based data quantifying malaria-associated anaemia in East Sumba are scarce. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of anaemia associated with malaria and to evaluate the association between malaria infection and anaemia among residents of Mau Bokul Village, East Sumba. An analytical cross-sectional survey was conducted on 98 community participants recruited by consecutive sampling during June–July 2025. Malaria diagnosis was established by microscopy of Giemsa 3%-stained thick blood films and haemoglobin (Hb) was quantified using a point-of-care digital meter (Easy Touch GCHb). Fisher's Exact Test analyzed the association between malaria and anaemia with significance set at (p < 0.05).  The results are indicate malaria prevalence was 8.2% (8/98), and anaemia prevalence was 34.7% (34/98). All malaria-positive individuals were anaemic. The association between malaria and anaemia was statistically significant (p < 0.001).

Abstract

Excessive use of ibuprofen can trigger Drug Induced Liver Injury (DILI) through oxidative stress mechanisms. Syzygium polyanthum (bay leaf) contains antioxidant compounds with potential hepatoprotective activity. Objective to determine the effect of ethanol extract of bay leaves on the improvement of liver histopathology in ibuprofen-induced rats. This experimental study used 36 Sprague Dawley rats divided into six groups: Negative Control, two Positive Controls (ibuprofen induction), and treatment groups P1, P2, and P3 (ibuprofen induction + extract at doses of 50, 150, and 250 mg/kgBW). Histopathological changes were evaluated using the Manja Roenigk scoring system. Data were analysed using the Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Dunn’s Post Hoc test. There were significant differences among groups (p < 0.001). Group P3 (250 mg/kgBW) showed the lowest damage score (1.35 ± 0.15), approaching normal conditions, and differed significantly from P1 (2.37 ± 0.27), which showed the highest damage. Lower doses did not provide optimal improvement. Bay leaf extract significantly improved liver histopathology in ibuprofen-induced rats in a dose-dependent manner, with the most effective dose being 250 mg/kgBW.

Abstract

Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infection remains a public health concern in rural tropical settings, where limited sanitation and high environmental exposure elevate risk. In Mataredi Village, most residents are subsistence farmers with constrained access to improved sanitation. Objective to estimate the prevalence of STH infection and assess its association with household latrine ownership in Mataredi Village, Katikutana District, Central Sumba. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in June–July 2024. A total of 144 residents aged >5 years who met inclusion criteria were enrolled using consecutive sampling. Fresh stool samples were examined by direct smear with 2% Lugol’s iodine. The association between latrine ownership (yes/no) and STH infection status (positive/negative) was evaluated using the Chi-square test; results are presented as p-value and odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Overall prevalence of STH infection was 19.4% (28/144). The species profile was dominated by Trichuris trichiura, with both single and mixed infections detected. Based on the Chi-square test, there was no statistically significant association between latrine ownership and STH infection (p = 0.943; OR 0.88; 95% CI 0.38–2.06). A mass deworming campaign conducted in May 2024 may have reduced detectable worm burden and attenuated observed associations.  The prevalence of STH infection in Mataredi Village was 19.4%, with Trichuris trichiura predominance. No significant association was found between household latrine ownership and infection status.
