Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis Preventive Therapy (TPT) is important in TBC control and elimination strategies at the individual and community levels. However, few studies have systematically mapped developing scientific themes and trends related to TPT, primarily through bibliometric analyses. Therefore, a comprehensive bibliometric study is needed to identify key research foci and gaps in the current TPT knowledge pool. Purpose: This study aimed to identify global research trends in TPT as a preventive strategy to reduce TBC incidence. Methods: This study used a systematic literature review approach and bibliometric analysis using Scopus and PubMed databases through the Publish or Perish (PoP) platform, publications from 2010 to 2024. The initial search yielded 266 articles, which were screened using Mendeley for abstracts and keywords, resulting in 109 relevant publications. Bibliometric analyses were then conducted using VOSviewer version 1.6.20. Results: IPT (Isoniazid Preventive Therapy) has a close relationship with Preventive therapy, tuberculosis, child, contact, and HIV. Other results also show that the number of publications discussing TPT from 2020 to 2024 has decreased from 23 to 2, and the latest research topics related to TPT were only found in 2019. Conclusion: Publications related to TPT from 2020-2024 continue to decline; therefore, it is necessary to revitalize research related to TPT, especially by exploring issues that have not been widely discussed, such as the implementation of TPT in high-risk groups other than children and PLHIV, such as people with chronic diseases, the elderly, and populations with limited access to health services.

Abstract

Background: To achieve high and equitable immunization coverage, it is important to understand the access and utilization barriers, as well as the influencing determinants among population groups. Aims: This study aims to identify high-risk regencies and explore the application of spatial analysis to support microplanning in immunization programs. Methods: This study employed an implementation research design conducted in Aceh Province, Indonesia. Secondary datasets on immunization coverage, health human resources, facilities, and socio-economic parameters were analyzed. Focus group discussions (FGDs) and training sessions were conducted with health workers. Results: The average coverage of universal child immunization (UCI) across villages was 24.18%, while complete basic immunization (CBI) reached 55.85%. In general, regencies with low UCI and CBI often had limited human resources, inadequate health facilities, and a high proportion of high-risk populations. This study identified hot spots and cold spots in the study area. Additionally, participants reported that mapping using the application was easier and beneficial for supporting the preparation of immunization micro-planning. Conclusion: Spatial analysis can help address inequalities in immunization services and support resources during immunization. Qualitative approaches provided a deeper understanding of undocumented information. The use of mapping applications facilitated more effective microplanning in immunization programs. Keywords: Child mortality, health risk, immunization, microplanning, vaccine.

Abstract

Background : Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) remains a persistent public health concern in Sumenep Regency, where 73.3% of public health centers (puskesmas) are classified as endemic areas, while the remaining 26.7% categorized as sporadic areas in 2024. Accurate endemicity data are crucial for DHF surveillance, highlighting the need to enhance the capacity of DHF program managers at puskesmas in mapping DHF endemicity. Objective : This study aimed to enhance the capacity of DHF program managers at puskesmas in mapping DHF endemicity at the village level using the Quantum GIS (QGIS) software. Methods : A pre-post test design was employed to evaluate the training’s effectiveness in improving knowledge, attitudes, and skills related to QGIS mapping. Conducted from June to July 2024, the study utilized the Wilcoxon signed rank test for data analysis. Results : The majority of DHF program managers at puskesmas were aged 31-40 years (53.33%), predominantly male (60.00%), held diploma-level qualifications (63.33%), had an educational background in nursing (66.67), and had less than five years of experience in their position (83.33%). Following training, significant improvements were observed in in knowledge (p <0.001), attitudes (p 0.024), and mapping skills (p <0.001). Prior to training, none of the DHF program managers possessed QGIS mapping skills, and only one had developed a DHF endemicity map. Conclusion : Training in DHF endemicity mapping using QGIS significantly enhanced the capacity of DHF program managers at puskesmas in Sumenep Regency. Routine and sustained capacityenhancing efforts are recommended to optimize DHF surveillance outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever remains a significant public health concern in Sumenep Regency, with cases and fatalities reported annually. In 2023, both the incidence rate (27.74/100,000 population) and the case fatality rate (1.96%) exceeded the national targets (IR ≤10; CFR ≤0.6%). Therefore, evaluating the dengue surveillance system is essential to assess its performance and support effective control measures. Purpose: This study evaluates the dengue surveillance system in Sumenep Regency in 2023 based on surveillance system attributes to provide recommendations for improvement. Methods: The study was conducted at a public health center (puskesmas) and the Regency Health Office, involving 17 informants, including surveillance officers and DHF program managers. Data were collected through interviews, document reviews, and observations using questionnaires and sheets. Analysis was based on surveillance system attributes aligned with Indonesia’s DHF prevention and control guidelines, with results presented in tables and narratives. Results: The surveillance system demonstrated good data stability and timeliness, but remains complex, inflexible, has low user acceptance, is not yet representative, and is not yet sensitive. Conclusion: The dengue surveillance system in Sumenep needs improvements in simplicity, user acceptance, representativeness, sensitivity, and data quality. Efforts should simplify processes, integrate active and passive surveillance, standardize procedures, and strengthen coordination to improve system effectiveness.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose a global threat. As of March 31, 2020, there were 1,528 confirmed COVID-19 cases with 136 deaths in Indonesia. This study aimed to describe the epidemiological features and clinical course of COVID-19 in Situbondo District, East Java Province, Indonesia, to facilitate understanding of the epidemiological situation and the spread of infection in the community to improve the control and prevention measures. This study examined the epidemiological features of COVID-19 cases in Situbondo using descriptive analysis. The results revealed that from March to November 2020, there were 1,622 suspected cases and 816 confirmed cases. Moreover, females (total case 470%) were more likely to be infected than males (total case 346%). Mainly, the cases of COVID-19 infection were in the age group of 19-37 years old (36.8%), and almost half of the confirmed cases (41 cases) were caused by the infection from close contact to confirmed cases, based on the epidemiological investigation report. People with comorbidities were more susceptible to being infected. Hypertension (8.7%), diabetes (8.6%), heart disease (3.7%), kidney failure, and COPD, each by (1%) were the highestreported comorbidities in COVID-19 patients. There was another disease with a low percentage like asthma, pulmonary TB, and cancer. This study opens the gate to further studies, which are needed to understand more about the epidemiological COVID-19 situation in the community.
