Abstract

Background: Rabies endemicity in the border regions of West Kalimantan (Sajingan and Entikong) poses a significant public health risk, yet data on local risk factors remain limited. Understanding the ecological determinants of dogs associated with rabies-transmitting animal bites (GHPR) is crucial for effective control. This study aimed to identify dog ecological factors associated with GHPR incidents in these border areas.Methods: This study utilized an analytical cross-sectional design, conducted from January to March 2024. A sample of 348 respondents (dog owners or heads of households) in the Sajingan and Entikong regions was selected using a purposive sampling technique based on GHPR case high-risk areas. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using the chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression.Result: The analysis revealed significant associations between dog sex (p=0.002), ownership status/origin (p=0.001), and dog function (p<0.001) with GHPR incidents. Male dogs, stray (unowned) dogs, and dogs used for hunting were identified as having a significantly higher risk of involvement in bite incidents.Conclusion: Ecological factors are key determinants of GHPR in this border region. This finding implies that generalized rabies control strategies are insufficient. Public health interventions, including targeted mass vaccination and population management (e.g., sterilization), must be specifically prioritized for the sub-populations of male, stray, and hunting dogs to interrupt the transmission chain in this high-risk transboundary area.

Abstract

Hypertension is classified as a group of non-communicable diseases with a high incidence and serious consequences for population health. This study aims to determine the relationship between medication adherence, family history, and knowledge levels with hypertension control in the Rasau Jaya Community Health Center work area. The type of research used was quantitative with an observational analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample used was 252 hypertension patients using a purposive sampling method. The statistical test used was the chi-square test to determine whether there was a relationship between medication adherence, family history, and knowledge with the incidence of hypertension. From the results of this study, there was a relationship between medication adherence (p < 0.014) and family history (p < 0.000) with hypertension control. And knowledge was not related to hypertension control (p > 0.119). The conclusion of this study is that there is a relationship between medication adherence and family history, while knowledge is not related to hypertension control.
