Abstract

Introduction: Mental health significantly influences both adolescent emotional well-being and the likelihood of violence, as adolescents with strong mental health are better equipped to manage interpersonal conflicts and resist pressures that may otherwise lead to violence. This study explores how perceptions of mental health among teachers and adolescents contribute to emotional resilience and provide a foundation for anti-violence character development. Methods: Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data was collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving ten informants—six students and four teachers—selected via purposive sampling to capture varied insights. Results: Results reveal that perceptions of mental health among both adolescents and teachers are diverse but commonly highlight the value of emotional and psychological stability. Furthermore, the role of family and early life experiences is consistently emphasized as essential in shaping mental health, affecting how adolescents manage emotions and conflicts. Findings also suggest that character traits developed from childhood and through formative experiences are instrumental in supporting an individual’s mental health and ability to respond to social stressors without resorting to violence. Conclusion: This study provides valuable insights into the connection between teachers' and students' perceptions of mental health and character as a key strategy for preventing violence. The findings underscore the crucial role of collaboration among schools, families, and communities in creating a supportive environment for students' character development and mental well-being. The study’s implications highlight the necessity of comprehensive, school-based initiatives and educational policies that integrate mental health and character education. Educators are encouraged to adopt character-focused approaches, policymakers to formulate inclusive policies, and researchers to explore this issue across various socio-cultural settings to strengthen violence prevention efforts.

Abstract

Participation of informal sector workers in the Indonesian Social Security Employment Program (BPJS Ketenagakerjaan) in Gorontalo City remains low. This condition is influenced by multiple factors, including individual characteristics, occupational conditions, and socio-economic status. Understanding these determinants is essential to improve coverage and protection for informal workers. This study aimed to identify the key factors associated with BPJS Ketenagakerjaan participation among informal sector workers, particularly rickshaw drivers. This analytical observational study employed a cross-sectional design involving 342 informal sector workers selected through accidental sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires that had undergone validity testing using item–total correlations (items accepted when r-count > r-table, p < 0.05) and reliability testing using Cronbach’s Alpha, with coefficients ≥ 0.70 indicating acceptable internal consistency. Data were analyzed through univariate analysis, bivariate binary logistic regression, and multivariate binary logistic regression to identify significant predictors of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan participation. Bivariate analysis revealed that income, occupation, and perceptions of BPJS benefits were significantly associated with program participation. Multivariate logistic regression identified income as the most dominant predictor. The final regression model demonstrated good predictive ability, as indicated by satisfactory values of Nagelkerke R² and classification accuracy. Participation in BPJS Ketenagakerjaan among informal sector workers is influenced by various internal and external factors, with income emerging as the primary determinant. Efforts to increase participation should prioritize strategies that address these key influencing factors, particularly socio-economic barriers.

Abstract

Fruits contain a broad range of essential nutrients, including proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, while vegetables serve as vital plant-based foods that help meet daily nutritional needs. Gorontalo Province is among the regions in Indonesia with the lowest fruit and vegetable intake, with 92.5% of the population not meeting the recommended ≥5 servings per day. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of flashcard-based education in improving knowledge of fruit and vegetable consumption among sixth-grade students at State Elementary School 59, East Gorontalo City. This research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. A total of 35 sixth-grade students were selected through purposive sampling. Research instruments included a closed-ended questionnaire with structured items and predetermined response options. Prior to data collection, the questionnaire underwent validity testing using Spearman’s rank correlation, where items with r-count > r-table (p < 0.05) were considered valid. Reliability testing was conducted using Cronbach’s Alpha, and all constructs achieved coefficients ≥ 0.70, indicating acceptable internal consistency. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test, followed by the Kruskal–Wallis test with Post Hoc analysis. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ knowledge after the flashcard educational intervention, with a p-value of 0.000. Interactive learning media such as flashcards enhanced students’ engagement, concentration, and comprehension, enabling them to better understand the nutritional benefits of fruits and vegetables through play-based learning activities. Flashcard-based education is effective in increasing students’ knowledge of fruit and vegetable consumption and serves as an engaging learning tool to support nutritional education in schools.

Abstract

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), diarrhea is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children worldwide, particularly in developing countries. Environmental factors, including access to clean water, adequate sanitation facilities, and community hygiene practices, play a significant role in the incidence of diarrhea. This study aims to analyze the risk determinants associated with diarrhea incidence in toddlers in the coastal area of Lake Limboto, Gorontalo Regency. This quantitative study employed an analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 84 respondents were selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected on variables including respondent knowledge, socio-cultural factors, environmental sanitation, handwashing practices, formula milk feeding, food preparation patterns, and complementary feeding. Statistical analyses were conducted using the chi-square test to determine the bivariate association between each independent variable and diarrhea incidence in toddlers, followed by multivariate analysis using logistic regression to identify the most significant risk determinants. The analysis revealed significant relationships between diarrhea incidence in toddlers and the following variables: respondent knowledge (ρ = 0.01), socio-cultural factors (ρ = 0.01), environmental sanitation (ρ = 0.02), handwashing with soap (ρ = 0.00), formula milk feeding (ρ = 0.01), food cooking patterns (ρ = 0.01), and provision of complementary foods (ρ = 0.01). All examined variables were significantly associated with the incidence of diarrhea in toddlers in the coastal area of Lake Limboto.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major public health problem with a continuously increasing prevalence. Dietary regulation is a key pillar in glycemic control for DM management. Palm sap (nira aren) is a traditional beverage reported to have a low glycemic index; however, public concerns regarding its potential alcohol content have raised controversy about its consumption among individuals with DM. This study aimed to determine the effect of nira beverage consumption on blood glucose levels and glycemic index in patients with diabetes mellitus. This study employed a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design involving 28 patients with diabetes mellitus. Data were collected through direct measurement of blood glucose levels using a glucometer before and after the intervention, while glycemic index was calculated based on standardized glycemic response procedures. Statistical analysis was performed using the paired t-test. The findings showed a statistically significant difference in blood glucose levels before and after nira beverage consumption in the intervention group (p = 0.000). In addition, glycemic index analysis demonstrated a significant difference (p = 0.001). Nira beverage consumption has a significant effect on blood glucose levels and glycemic index among patients with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Occupational accidents in the coconut flour industry in Gorontalo Regency remain a serious threat to workers, with an increasing incidence rate and a high risk of causing permanent disability. This study aims to analyze the risk factors for work-related accidents leading to disability among workers in the coconut flour industry of Gorontalo Regency. This research is a qualitative study utilizing a case study approach. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation. The informants consisted of workers with disabilities resulting from occupational accidents, the person in charge of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS), and OHS practitioners. Data analysis was performed using the Miles and Huberman model. The results indicate that accidents leading to disability are dominated by the sheller unit. These incidents are triggered by the interaction between unsafe actions and unsafe conditions. Behavioral factors include low OHS knowledge, rushed work attitudes to meet production targets, and non-compliance with the use of standardized Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). These conditions are exacerbated by substandard physical work environments, characterized by high room temperatures (32.3°C–33.7°C) and dim lighting (132–176 Lux), which significantly reduce worker concentration. Furthermore, the suboptimal implementation of OHSMS policies and management supervision increases the risk of fatalities.

Abstract

Air minum isi ulang merupakan salah satu alternatif masyarakat dalam memenuhi kebutuhan air minum sehari-hari dengan harga yang lebih terjangkau. Namun, masih ditemukan depot air minum isi ulang yang tidak memenuhi standar kualitas air minum berdasarkan parameter bakteriologis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis lama proses desinfeksi sinar ultraviolet (UV-C) terhadap kontaminan bakteriologis pada air minum isi ulang di Kecamatan Dulupi, Kabupaten Boalemo. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kuantitatif pada hasil uji laboratorium. Sampel diambil dari satu depot air minum isi ulang dengan hasil uji coliform tertinggi yaitu 224 CFU/100 ml. Pengujian dilakukan sebelum dan sesudah proses desinfeksi menggunakan sinar UV-C dengan lama waktu 8 menit. Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif menggunakan metode Compact Dry total coliform. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jumlah total coliform sebelum desinfeksi sebesar 305 CFU/100 ml dan setelah dilakukan desinfeksi sinar UV-C selama 8 menit berhasil dieliminasi menjadi 0 CFU/100 ml, dengan persentase penurunan sebesar 100%. Hal ini membuktikan bahwa proses desinfeksi sinar UV-C dengan lama penyinaran 8 menit efektif menurunkan kontaminan bakteriologis hingga memenuhi standar baku mutu air minum menurut Permenkes RI Nomor 2 Tahun 2023. Disarankan bagi pengelola depot untuk melakukan perawatan rutin lampu UV-C dan menjaga sanitasi peralatan agar efektivitas desinfeksi tetap optimal.
