Abstract

Community Health Centers (Puskesmas) are crucial in promoting health and empowering communities to maintain their health independently. Despite their importance, health promotion programs have faced significant challenges, leading to suboptimal implementation. This study aims to analyze the implementation of health promotion programs at Puskesmas and identify the barriers faced by implementers. Qualitative research with a case study design was conducted at four Community Health Centers in Serdang Bedagai Regency from December 2021 to March 2022. In-depth interviews involved the heads of the Community Health Centers, the responsible individuals for health promotion programs at the centers, and community health cadres. A total of 12 participants underwent in-depth interviews to deeply explore information regarding policy aspects, funding, facilities, and human resources. Additionally, data were collected through observation and documentation. Data analysis followed the protocol developed by Miles and Huberman. The study results indicate that implementing health promotion at Community Health Centers has not been optimal due to barriers such as program funding availability, inadequate supporting facilities, and a shortage of competent human resources. This research contributes to the existing literature by providing a detailed examination of the specific challenges faced by Puskesmas in implementing health promotion programs. It emphasizes the need for targeted interventions to strengthen these centers' operational capabilities. To ensure optimal outcomes, stakeholders must focus on adequate budget allocation, the provision of supporting facilities, and training for program implementers.

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months are crucial for infant nutrition. The condition of mothers as workers is reported to be one of the factors that hinders exclusive breastfeeding, while the number of working mothers continues to increase every year. This study aimed to evaluate the level of exclusive breastfeeding and identify factors associated with the cessation of exclusive breastfeeding among working mothers. This research employed an analytical observational study. Data was collected from five health center areas in Langkat district, involving 165 working mothers. Samples were taken using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis included univariate, bivariate (chi-square), and multivariate (logistic regression) analyses. This study reported low levels of exclusive breastfeeding among working mothers. Several factors were associated with breastfeeding, namely age (OR=2.13, 95% CI, 1.07-4.24); p=0.044), education (OR=2.40, 95% CI, 11.24-4.64; p = 0.009), knowledge (OR= 27.08, 95% CI, 10.88-67.37; p<0.001), attitude (OR=18.80, 95% CI,8.33-42.43; p<0.001) and husband's support (OR=8.14, CI 95%, 3.92-16.87; p<0.001). This study concluded that adequate knowledge, a positive attitude towards breastfeeding, and a husband's support are key factors for the success of exclusive breastfeeding for working mothers. Therefore, health workers must pay special attention to these aspects by providing education on the importance of breastfeeding for pregnant women and husbands by providing education of exclusive breastfeeding. It is suggested that future research design a model of public health education to increase the quality and quantity of exclusive breastfeeding among employed women.

Abstract

Stunting is one of Indonesia's most prevalent nutritional problems, with a prevalence rate of 24.4%. In Samosir Regency, the prevalence of stunting remains relatively high at 28.4%. Community health centers are crucial in the community's efforts to accelerate stunting reduction. This study aimed to explore the barriers a community health center faces in implementing the stunting reduction acceleration program. Method: Using a qualitative case study design, the study was conducted at Buhit community health center in Samosir Regency from August to December 2022. The key informants for this study included the community health center leader, head of administration, nutritionist, and midwife. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and document review. The results identified several barriers to the implementation of the Accelerated Stunting Reduction Programme. These barriers encompassed limited staff resources and concurrent positions, the availability and suitability of anthropometric tools, a lack of coordination in planning activities between management and program officers, families' fear of the negative stigma associated with stunting, and low levels of community participation. Farmers who do not comply with safe behavior will have a higher health risk because of the toxicity of pesticides that can be directly inhaled and enter through the pores of the farmers' skin

Abstract

Complaints of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are common in workers with a reasonably heavy workload, such as workers at refill drinking water depots. MSDs can be caused by repetitive activities such as daily bending, lifting and lowering liters of drinking water refills. This study aimed to identify the risk factors of MSDs among workers at refilled drinking water filling depots and analyze the dominant factors that influence MSDs. This study was quantitative research with an analytical survey using a cross-sectional design conducted in Simpang Selayang Village, Medan City, Indonesia. A total of 40 refilled drinking water depot workers were involved in this study with a comprehensive sampling approach. Data was collected directly by distributing questionnaires to workers at refill drinking water filling depots. Data were tested statistically using the Chi-Square test and logistic regression. The analysis showed that work posture, workload, tenure and length of work are associated with MSDs complaints. The results of the logistic regression test showed that the dominant variable influencing MSDs complaints is work posture. Refillable drinking water depot workers with non-ergonomic working postures were likely to experience MSDs complaints 11 times as often as those with ergonomic work postures. The findings highlight the need for local health agencies to educate or empower workers at water refilling stations regarding MSDs complaints. Musculoskeletal disorders associated with work involving heavy loads could be prevented if workers know ergonomic work postures well. In addition, adequate rest is recommended to avoid musculoskeletal injuries.

Abstract

The abundance of natural materials has attracted the attention of numerous researchers, who are now developing them into effective adsorbents for waste treatment applications. The waste stream in question includes laundry liquid waste from workshops, which is discharged directly into the environment via soil or drainage channels without any form of pretreatment. The lead content (Pb) in workshop laundry liquid waste is hazardous if discharged into the environment because it is difficult to degrade. This study investigates a filtration media composed of a combination of natural adsorbents—coconut shell charcoal, pumice stone, and hair waste as an option for treating workshop laundry liquid waste. This research was conducted in January 2021 and focuses specifically on its effectiveness in reducing Pb levels. Adsorbents are arranged in a 60 cm diameter barrel with a height of 40 cm for each adsorbent. Laboratory analysis for the lead test method according to SNI 6989.8.2009 with Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (SSA) shows a decrease in Pb levels starting from the control to the first repetition, second repetition, and third repetition, where the final results show that Pb levels are safe to be discharged into the environment because they are below the environmental quality standards based on the Regulation of the Minister of Environment of the Republic of Indonesia Number 5 of 2014 concerning Wastewater Quality Standards, which is a maximum of 0.03 mg/L. Filtration A showed a Pb level of 0.021 (50% decrease), and Filtration B showed a Pb level of 0.106 (80% decrease)
