Abstract

Background : Adolescents are a vulnerable population for both anxiety disorders and health risk behaviors such as smoking, including the use of electronic cigarettes. Anxiety symptoms in adolescents are thought to contribute to earlier smoking initiation. Objective : This study aimed to examine the relationship between anxiety symptoms and smoking behavior among adolescents in Samarinda Research Methods/ Implementation Methods : This cross-sectional study was conducted in the working area of Baqa Primary Healthcare Center, Samarinda, in 2025. A total of 212 senior high school students were selected using a total sampling technique. Smoking behavior data were collected using a smoking behavior screening questionnaire. Anxiety symptoms were measured using the Mini MINDHEAR Youth Scale V.1 (anxiety subscore). Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Chi-Square test Results : Most respondents were aged 15 to 17 years. Among the smokers, 40 participants were male (81%) and 9 were female (19%); 29 respondents (59%) reported smoking conventional tobacco cigarettes, while 20 respondents (40%) used electronic cigarettes. The proportion of smoking (tobacco/e-cigarettes) among respondents with anxiety symptoms was 33.9%, compared to 19.2% among those without anxiety symptoms. There was a statistically significant association between anxiety symptoms and smoking behavior (p = 0.025; PR = 2.157; 95 percent CI = 1.091–4.264). Conclusion/Lesson Learned : There is a significant relationship between anxiety symptoms and smoking behavior among students. These findings highlight the importance of mental health screening and intervention within School Health Programs (UKS), Adolescent Integrated Community Health (Posyandu Remaja), and Smoking Cessation Program (UBM

Abstract

Background : Escherichia coli presence in animal-derived foods serves as a crucial indicator of hygiene and sanitation standards throughout handling, storage, and distribution. Frozen beef distributed to consumers risks contamination when food safety controls, particularly cold chain maintenance, are inconsistently implemented. This study assessed E. coli contamination levels in frozen beef marketed in Balikpapan City and evaluated compliance with the Maximum Contaminant Limit (MCL) under SNI 7388:2009. Objective : This study aimed to assess the contamination level of E. coli in frozen beef marketed in Balikpapan City and to evaluate its compliance with the Maximum Contamination Limit (MCL) established by SNI 7388:2009. Research Methods/ Implementation Methods : A quantitative descriptive design with a laboratory testing approach was used. A total of 65 frozen beef samples were collected from modern retail outlets, slaughterhouses (RPH), and cold storage facilities. Laboratory examination was conducted through isolation, identification, and colony counting stages using standard microbiological method. The results were analyzed descriptively and compared with the MCL standards specified in SNI 7388:2009. Results : Analysis revealed that 55 samples (84.62%) contained E. coli levels below 1 × 102 CFU/g, complying with MCL requirements. However, 10 samples (15.38%) exceeded this limit, indicating non-compliance with food safety standards. These findings suggest potential contamination during post-slaughter handling, storage, or distribution phases, likely due to inadequate cold chain maintenance. Conclusion/Lesson Learned : In conclusion, the majority of frozen beef circulating in Balikpapan is considered safe for consumption; however, strengthening sanitation practices and ensuring strict cold chain management are recommended to minimize potential public health risks.

Abstract

Background: The increasing incidence of infections caused by antimicrobial-resistant bacteria has become a serious public health problem in Indonesia; however, data on resistance patterns in Kalimantan Timur, particularly Samarinda, remain limited. Objective: This study aimed to describe the antimicrobial resistance patterns of clinical bacterial isolates examined at the East Kalimantan Provincial Health Laboratory in 2024. Methods: This study employed a descriptive observational design using secondary data from culture and antibiotic susceptibility testing results of 201 clinical bacterial isolates collected from January to December 2024. Data were analyzed descriptively through tabulation and percentage distribution. Results: Among all positive isolates (n = 201), 54.4% were Gram-negative and 45.6% were Gram positive bacteria. The most frequently identified bacteria were Escherichia coli (24.4%), followed by Staphylococcus haemolyticus (7.0%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (7.0%). Susceptibility testing revealed that E. coli showed high sensitivity to meropenem (98%) and amikacin (100%), whereas Staphylococcus aureus exhibited 30.8% resistance to oxacillin, indicating the presence of methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA). The predominant resistance mechanisms detected included β-lactamase production (21.7%), extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL, 40.6%), and MRSA (37.7%). Conclusion: Antimicrobial resistance based on bacterial isolates examined at the East Kalimantan Provincial Health Laboratory demonstrated a wide variation in antibiotic susceptibility patterns. These findings provide an initial overview of resistance conditions in Samarinda and can serve as a foundation for the implementation of continuous antimicrobial resistance surveillance.

Abstract

A healthy school environment is vital in promoting the well-being of students, teachers, and the school community. This study aimed to enhance teachers' knowledge and implementation of healthy school practices through a community service program. The initiative involved socialization and training sessions targeting elementary and junior high school teachers in Bontang. The program was structured into three phases: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. Educational materials covering healthy school concepts, balanced nutrition, mental health, and environmental assessments were developed, followed by training conducted at Puri Senyiur Hotel, Samarinda, East Kalimantan, from December 1-4, 2024. A total of 83 teachers participated, receiving instruction from health experts. Knowledge assessments were conducted before and after training, analysed using the Wilcoxon test due to non-normal data distribution. Results showed a significant median difference of 20 in knowledge scores (p = 0.0001), indicating substantial improvement post-training. Although the assessment measured short-term effects, the findings suggest a positive increase in awareness. Regular teacher training on healthy schools is essential for preventing malnutrition and fostering better health practices among students. This initiative aligns with governmental efforts to promote healthy eating behaviors in schools. Sustaining such programs requires collaboration between healthcare professionals, universities, and other institutions, along with integrating nutrition education into school curricula.

Abstract

Drinking safe water is essential for public health, yet challenges remain in meeting this need, particularly in developing regions. In Indonesia, while 93% of the population has access to improved water sources, only 11,9% receive safe drinking water. Refill water depots are the primary source of drinking water for households; however, studies have reported significant contamination risks, including Escherichia coli, often due to poor hygiene and sanitation practices. This study examines the relationship between hygiene and sanitation practices and the presence of E. coli in refill water depot in Sempaja Selatan. Using a descriptive quantitative method with a cross-sectional observational approach, the study analyzed five refill water depots identified with E. Coli contamination in 2023. Data collection included direct observations, interviews, and laboratory testing of water samples. Results revealed no. E. coli contamination in any samples, reflecting improvements in sanitation and hygiene practices, such as regular equipment maintenance and adherence to personal cleanliness by operators. However, 60% of depots still fail to meet hygiene and sanitation standards, particularly in personal hygiene and raw water quality management. Although No. bivariate analysis was conducted due to homogeneous data, the findings highlight the importance of health regulations to ensure water safety. Future research should expand the sample size and explore external factors influencing water quality.
