Abstract

Malaria is an acute, life-threatening febrile disease primarily found in tropical areas with Malaria endemicity. In 2023, East Sumba Regency became the second-highest Malaria case after Southwest Sumba. Malaria control efforts remain a primary target in achieving optimal public health and reducing Malaria incidence. One effort is the distribution of free long-term insecticide-treated bed nets. However, Malaria cases in Village X, the research location, are still relatively high. Community behavior and awareness significantly influence the use of bed nets, thereby reducing Malaria incidence. This study aims to determine the description of the community's existence in the use of bed nets. This type of research uses a quantitative research method. The sampling technique is Accidental Sampling. The instrument used is a questionnaire with a sample size of 30 respondents who meet the inclusion criteria. Where the questionnaire was distributed directly. Because this study is descriptive research, the data analysis technique is carried out by calculating the total compliance score, grouping the level of compliance (compliant and non-compliant), presenting data in the form of a frequency distribution table, and interpreting the results. The research was conducted in East Sumba Regency in village X. Based on the results of the study on 30 community respondents in the research area, data was obtained that most of the respondents were not compliant in using mosquito nets, namely 18 people (60%), while those who were compliant in using mosquito nets were 12 people (40%). This shows that the level of community compliance in using mosquito nets is still relatively low, because more than half of the respondents have not consistently used mosquito nets as an effort to prevent Malaria.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease caused by the dengue virus through the bite of the Aedes sp mosquito with Aedes aegypti as the main vector and Aedes albopictus as the secondary vector. The number of DHF sufferers in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province increased until 2020, with 4,518 people infected and 48 people died. This research aims to determine the description of community behavior regarding disease control (DHF) in East Nusa Tenggara. Method: Using literature review research with problem identification stages, data search using Google Scholar, Science Direct, ProQuest databases with the keywords "community behavior about controlling dengue hemorrhagic fever in East Nusa Tenggara". The articles reviewed were 10 articles with publication years from 2019-2020. Based on the results of the review of 10 articles analyzed, it was found that most people have good knowledge and attitudes towards controlling Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF). However, these results are not fully followed by optimal preventive actions and behaviors. The mismatch between knowledge and actual practices indicates a behavioral gap that is still a major challenge in controlling DHF in the community. Socioeconomic factors, environmental habits, and the weak monitoring function of health cadres also exacerbate the situation. A sustainable community empowerment strategy is needed through community-based education, cadre mentoring, and cross-sector support to strengthen changes in DHF prevention behavior in a sustainable manner.

Abstract

Latar Belakang: Hipertensi diidentifikasi secara global sebagai pembunuh senyap (the silent killer) karena sering kali tidak memunculkan gejala klinis awal hingga memicu komplikasi fatal. Hipertensi yang tidak terkontrol menjadi salah satu penyebab serangan jantung, stroke, penyakit ginjal kronis, dan demensia yang paling penting dan dapat dicegah. Pemberdayaan kader kesehatan desa sebagai agent of change diperlukan untuk menjembatani kesenjangan informasi ini. Tujuan kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini, yaitu untuk mengetahui pengaruh edukasi oleh kader dalam meningkatkan pengetahuan keluarga tentang pencegahan stroke di Desa Mbatakapidu. Metode: Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan pada tahun 2026 di Desa Mbatakapidu dengan melibatkan 5 orang kader kesehatan dan 20 perwakilan keluarga yang memiliki anggota penderita hipertensi. Metode yang digunakan meliputi pembekalan kader di balai desa, diikuti dengan edukasi komunitas melalui kunjungan rumah (home visit) selama ±30 menit oleh kader kepada keluarga sasaran. Evaluasi keberhasilan dilakukan secara kuantitatif dengan membandingkan tingkat pengetahuan sebelum (pre-test) dan dua minggu sesudah intervensi (post-test) menggunakan kuesioner terstruktur. Hasil: Sebelum dilakukan edukasi, mayoritas keluarga memiliki tingkat pengetahuan yang kurang yaitu sebesar 60% (12 orang). Setelah mendapatkan intervensi edukasi terstruktur dari kader, tingkat pengetahuan keluarga mengalami peningkatan signifikan dengan 80% (16 orang) keluarga berhasil mencapai kategori pengetahuan yang baik. Kesimpulan: Edukasi berbasis pemberdayaan kader hipertensi melalui kunjungan rumah terbukti efektif meningkatkan pengetahuan keluarga secara signifikan dalam upaya pencegahan stroke di tingkat komunitas.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis is a chronic, recurrent infectious disease that usually affects the lungs, and can even affect all organs. Pulmonary TB is spread through the air from person to person. When a person with pulmonary TB coughs, sneezes, or spits, TB germs are released into the air, which can be inhaled by others, potentially infecting them. Psychological distress in families with members with pulmonary TB can also occur due to fear of contracting TB, worry about the lengthy treatment process, and even concern about the social environment where negative stigma toward pulmonary TB persists. This literature review was conducted by searching the Google Scholar database and selecting articles based on inclusion criteria, resulting in the selection of 10 primary articles for analysis. Family anxiety in caring for a family member with pulmonary TB is a manifestation of multiple psychological burdens. The majority of families indicated that despite having the resilience to care, they remain emotionally distressed. Family anxiety in caring for a patient with pulmonary TB is a complex phenomenon triggered by a combination of a lack of accurate medical information, economic pressures, gender, age, and minimal social support in the surrounding environment. Education should not only focus on patient medication schedules but also address family anxiety management. Furthermore, it's crucial for healthcare facilities to initiate support groups for patient families to share emotional burdens and prevent caregivers from feeling socially isolated.Keywords: abstract keywords

Abstract

Hypertension or high blood pressure is the result of systolic and diastolic blood pressure that is too high ≥140/90 mmHg. Hypertension is one of the causes of premature death worldwide Reducing the prevalence of hypertension by 33% in 2020-2030 is one of the global targets of non-communicable diseases. Blood pressure (BP) measurements performed by individuals and families have a high potential to improve the diagnosis and management of hypertension. The implementation of blood pressure measurements is carried out through increasing education and training for individuals and families in measuring blood pressure independently. Early detection through self-measurement of blood pressure and control of hypertension by health services is an effort to control hypertension. This study aimed was to identify the effect of blood pressure measurement training on early detection and control efforts for hypertensive patients at health service facilities. This research uses a pre-experimental research design with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sampling technique used a purposive sampling method. with a total sample 24 respondents. The form of treatment is providing training to measure blood pressure using a digital blood pressure monitor. Before the training was conducted, the respondents' ability  to measure BP was measured first through a pre-test (initial observation before the intervention, after which the intervention was given (BP measurement), then a post-test (final observation) was conducted after the treatment was given, using the same measuring instrument. The result of this study, there was an effect of blood pressure measurement training on early detection and control efforts of hypertension patients in health care facilities with a p-value of 0.000. Independent blood pressure measurement training in individuals with hypertension has a positive impact on increasing knowledge and changing individual behavior in conducting early detection and control efforts of hypertension in healthcare facilities.
