Abstract

The use of contraception can prevent the risk of death for both mother and infant due to unplanned pregnancy. This study measures adult women's knowledge, attitudes, and behavior in contraceptive use in coastal slums. Knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors are supported by supporting factors and driving factors at the mother's household level. This research used a multilevel analytical with a cross-sectional approach. Adult women (individual levels) and heads of the family (family level) are subject in this study, separated into two groups in the individual and household unit. The total sample in this study is 734 samples and originated from 374 samples in individual and household units. The results of this study indicate that maternal knowledge about contraception and mother's education has a positive effect on contraceptive use, as well as husband's support and economic status. Women with an elementary and junior high school education tend not to use contraception 3-5 times more than women with higher education.The family variation between environments binds 26% of the results to the existing multilevel analysis so that contributions made by intervening risk factors at the family level will increase participation in individual contraceptive use by 26%. Supporting factors for mothers in using contraception influence the support of their husbands and family support. Elementary and junior high school education still dominantly influence contraception in adult women in first and second models. Women with primary and junior secondary education tend not to use contraception three to five times more than the group of women who have higher education. Contributions that can be made by intervening risk factors at the family level will increase the participation of contraceptive use in individuals by twenty-six percent. Keywords:  Contraception, Family Support, Slum Area.

Abstract

Community well water that contains excessive iron (Fe) can have a negative effect on humans who come in contact with or consume the well water, which can irritate the eyes, skin and also cause liver cancer. The purpose of this study was to determine the iron content in community well water around the Mabar Hilir Industrial Area Pasar 3 Bantenan, Medan City. This was an observational research with cross sectional design. The population of this study is the community well water, the number of samples were 10 wells. Sampling was done by purposive sampling and to determine the content of iron (Fe) in well water, samples were taken for testing in the laboratory using the APHA 3120B, 22 nd ed.2012 method. The data analysis used was univariate data analysis. The results of this research showed that it can be seen that out of 10 wells, there are 2 wells that do not qualify as drinking water, namely wells 8 and 9 with the amount of iron content in the well water is 1.913907 and 0.73374 respectively (quality standard = 0.3 mg/L) and 1 well that does not qualify as clean water, namely well 8 with the amount of iron content in the well water is 1.913907 (quality standard = 1.0 mg/L). The drinking water quality standard is based on the regulation of the Indonesian Minister of Health No. 492/Menkes/Per/IV/2010 where the maximum allowable iron (Fe) content is 0.3 mg/L. Clean water quality standard based on the regulation of the Indonesian Minister of Health No. 32 Year 2017 where the maximum allowable iron (Fe) content is 1.0 mg/L.Keyword:  Iron (Fe), Industry, Quality Standard, Water.

Abstract

Water is the most important element in life after air, but water is also the main cause of many diseases. This study uses a descriptive quantitative method with the Secondary Data Analysis approach. We got this secondary data from the Environmental Health Inspection of the North Sumatra Provincial Health Office results. The research results from these data are data Drinking Water Quality Monitoring data in 2021-2022 with 1,317 facilities owned by North Sumatra Province in 33 Regencies/Cities. To data for North Sumatra Province in 2021, 74.39% of the 1,316 facilities will carry out Drinking Water Quality Monitoring. Moreover, it has reached the target indicator of 65%. Meanwhile, Gunung Sitoli City needs communal drinking water facilities. Data for the Province of North Sumatra for 2022, the achievement of the indicator for supervised drinking water facilities is 68.03%, meaning that it still has yet to reach the target of 70%. In conclusion, monitoring of drinking water quality in Sumatra province has been carried out but has yet to meet the desired standards. There are still many areas where supervision of the facilities has yet to be carried out. Most often occurs because the area still needs sanitary staff to supervise. Many human resources still deal with this problem but must understand how the supervision procedures should be. Suggestions for the government in the future are to conduct the government carries out Drinking Water Quality Monitoring carried out once regularly according to a schedule per month or every six months to check the quality of drinking water, including inspection of physical, biological, and chemical parameters.Keywords: Drinking Water, Inspection, Monitoring, Water quality

Abstract

Waste water is one of the sanitation factors that is of concern to the Indonesian government. One of the environmental pollution that occurs is wastewater. The occurrence of wastewater pollution can cause media to cause various types of diseases. This study aims to find out how to describe the level of public knowledge about the L2T2 program (Scheduled Sludge Service) at PERUMDA Wastewater Marketing Branch. This research method is descriptive qualitative. The instruments used were interview guidelines and questionnaires given to 7 informants. The data collection technique used is the triangulation technique. This research was conducted in February 2023. The research location was taken at Perumda Tirtanadi Wastewater Marketing Branch on Jalan Tani & Jalan Rumah Sumbu. The results of this study are based on several informants saying that it is important to have this L2T2 program. Due to the blessings of this program, cleanliness in several disposal sites such as ditches and rivers has become cleaner. The conclusion of this study is the lack of public knowledge about this program, and the community does not want to pay a predetermined monthly rate and they do not want to damage the condition of their homes due to a control hole created. Suggestions from this research are the superiors of Perumda Tirtanadi should encourage more door-to-door outreach to the community so that later the community will better understand the benefits of disludging septic tanks.Keywords:  Environment, Knowledge, Waste Water

Abstract

Risk factors for tuberculosis in children include lack of nutrition, HIV infection, poverty, cigarette smoke exposure, and close contact with infected individuals. Children's immune systems are less developed, making them more susceptible and causing severe complications. This study uses cross-sectional research to analyze secondary data from Indonesia's 2018 Basic Health Research study. The sample consisted of 110.465 children aged 0–14, selected randomly or based on criteria. The study used univariate analysis and chi-square bivariate analysis to determine the relationship between variables and the incidence of tuberculosis in children. Further analyses were conducted in May–June 2024 using JASP version 16.The study revealed a significant association between lighting conditions and TB incidence, with 119 cases in well-lit master bedrooms and 51 in poorly lit bedrooms. Kitchen windows also played a role. However, the study concluded that the association could be due to chance, with no strong association between adequate living room lighting and TB incidence.The study found no significant association between lighting or ventilation conditions in different house areas and tuberculosis (TB) incidence. Although slight variations were observed, these were likely due to chance. The prevalence ratios also showed no strong association between adequate lighting or ventilation and TB incidence. Public health initiatives should focus on improving housing infrastructure, ventilation, and hygiene to mitigate environmental risk factors. Further research is recommended to explore socioeconomic and geographical variations influencing TB incidence in children. Keyword: Children, Environment, Home, Tubeculosis

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by tuberculosis germs (Mycobacterium tuberculosis). This disease is still a global health problem. It is estimated that one third of the world's population has been infected with pulmonary TB, where the majority of pulmonary TB sufferers are of productive age (15-50 years). Pulmonary TB is chronic and is typically characterized by the formation of granulomas and tissue necrosis. Pulmonary TB can be transmitted through the air, when someone with active TB in the lungs coughs, sneezes or talks. The research method used in this research is quasi experimental research with a one group pretest-posttest research design. The location of the research was in Aceh Singkil Regency. The research was carried out from July to December 2023. The research sample was 30 representatives of junior high school students based on school recommendations. The research results showed that 23 (38.3%) respondents had knowledge about eating nutritious food, and 25 (83.3%) respondents had the attitude that if they were suffering from TB, they would go to the health center. The conclusion is that students' knowledge and attitudes have increased by being given TB training, especially knowledge about TB being caused by heredity and consuming nutritious food.
