Abstract

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium mycobacterium tuberculosis. Most of the tuberculosis germs have attacked lung tissue, but can attack other organs in the human body.Early prevention efforts have been carried out, namely the BCG immunization package for toddlers. However, Indonesia is not 100% free from this disease. Mycobakterium tuberculosis is a rod-shaped bacterium that is grouped or called colonies. The environmental component itself includes the area of the house that is not proportional to the house that is not proportional to the occupants which will result in high density of housing, poor ventilation, type of house floor, type of house walls, lighting, temperature and humidity. Waepana village tuberculosis case data in 2019 amounted to 215 cases and in 2020 as many as 159 cases. The specific purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between occupancy density, ventilation area, floor type, wall type, lighting, temperature and humidity of the house with the incidence of tuberculosis in Waepana Village. The type of research used is an analytical survey with a case control research design. The location of the research in the village of Waepana which was carried out from August to September. The case population in this study were all tuberculosis patients, totaling 159 people and the control population were residents who lived in the village of Waepana with the criteria of not having tuberculosis, and the samples in this study were 74 people who were divided into two namely 37 case samples and 37 control samples. The data analysis used is univariate and bivariate analysis with chi-square test. The results of the study show that (p=0,000<0,05) there is relationship between residential density and the incidence of tuberculosis, (p=0,002<0,05) there is a relantionship between the type of floor with the incidence of tuberculosis, (p=0,000<0,05) there is a relantionship between the walls of the house with the incidence of tuberculosis, (p=0,001<0,05) there is a relationship between temperature and the incidence of tuberculosis. (p>0,433) there is no relationship between ventilation with the incidence of tuberculosis, (p>0,241) there is no relationship between lighting and the incidence of tuberculosis, (p>0,816) there is no relationship between humidity and the incidence of tuberculosis.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) Disease is rapidly increasing in Indonesia. This disease is defined as either our random blood glucose level >200 mg/dL or fasting blood glucose level >126 mg/dL. Maintaining a controllable blood glucose level (either less than 200 mg/dL for random blood glucose level or less than 126 mg/dL for fasting blood glucose level) in Type II DM patients is obviously playing an important role to avoid any complications such as stroke disease, heart disease and kidney failure. The purpose of this research is to analyze the risk factors contributing to uncontrolled blood glucose in Type II DM patients who come to visit Alak Public Health Centre, city of Kupang. Methods: This research is a quantitative analytic study with cross sectional method, with a total sample of 68 respondents. The statistical analysis carried out by Computer Program is univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis. Findings: The result of this research shows significant factors contributing to uncontrolled blood glucose level are Body Mass Index (BMI) p value=0.003, patients compliance (p value=0.003), Knowledge of DM (p value=0.011), Regular Physical Activity (p value=0.000), Food Order (p value=0.024), Smoking (p value=0.524) and family support (p value=0.077). The dominant factor which has more significant effect on uncontrolled blood glucose level in Type II DM patients is regular physical activity (p value=0.001). Conclusion: Uncontrolled blood glucose in Type II DM patients is strongly influenced by multiple behavioral and lifestyle factors, with regular physical activity being the most dominant. Strengthening patient education, compliance, and health promotion at the primary care level is essential to improve glycemic control and prevent complications. Novelty/Originality of this article: In order to maintain controlled blood glucose level in Type II DM patients it is suggested that all health workers in public health centre pay more promotive measure to risk factors affecting the bllood glucose in Type II DM patients with effective medias and methods.

Abstract

Background. Malaria is an infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites and transmitted through the bite of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. According to the Ministry of Health of Timor-Leste's 2023 malaria elimination report, Covalima, Bobonaro, and Oecuse districts collectively reported 9 malaria cases in 2023, along with a notable vector density. Spatial analysis offers a comprehensive method for compiling and managing spatial data, transforming it into meaningful insights. Aims. This study aims to describe malaria mapping based on epidemiological variables in Bobonaro and Covalima Districts, Timor-Leste. Methods. This descriptive epidemiological research utilizes malaria case reports from Bobonaro and Covalima Districts as its population and sample. Result. The results indicate that the Annual Malaria Incidence (AMI) and Annual Parasite Index (API) in these districts showed an increasing trend from 2019-2023, mainly attributable to imported cases from the border region between Covalima and Malaka Districts. Males and individuals over 15 years of age are more frequently affected by malaria, likely due to their higher levels of mobilization for work or other activities. Plasmodium falciparum is the most common species identified, primarily associated with swamp habitats. Conclusion. Covalima District has two temporary and one permanent swamp. Additionally, lake and lagoon habitats were identified in the Covalima Regency. The two regencies share similar conditions regarding sun intensity, rainfall, temperature, humidity, and altitude. Implication. Communities can play a crucial role in independent malaria vector control efforts, such as introducing larvivorous fish into water bodies and eliminating stagnant water puddles around homes

Abstract

Rabies merupakan penyakit zoonosis yang masih menjadi masalah kesehatan masyarakat di Indonesia, salah satunya di Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur. Pendekatan One Health yang mengintegrasikan sektor kesehatan manusia, hewan, dan lingkungan merupakan strategi penting dalam pengendalian rabies. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran pelaksanaan kesehatan dari berbagai aspek (komunikasi, sumber daya, struktur birokrasi dan disposisi) dalam pengendalian penyakit rabies di Kabupaten Kupang. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik wawancara mendalam kepada informan dari Dinas Kesehatan Kabupaten Kupang, Dinas Peternakan Kabupaten Kupang, Puskesmas, Balai Kesehatan Hewan, Kepala Desa dan masyarakat. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa implementasi one health dalam pengendalian penyakit rabies di Kabupaten Kupang sudah terlaksana dengan baik namun belum optimal. Hal ini dikarenakan belum adanya payung hukum dalam implementasi one health dalam pengendalian penyakit rabies di Kabupaten Kupang dan masih kurangnya sumber daya manusia dan sumber daya non manusia serta kurangnya keterlibatan masyarakat dalam implementasi one health dalam pengendalian penyakit rabies di Kabupaten Kupang. Kajian ini merekomendasikan penguatan kerjasama lintas sektor, peningkatan kapasitas sumber daya dan sosialisasi intensif kepada masyarakat tentang one health untuk pengendalian Rabies di Kabupaten Kupang.

Abstract

The COVID-19 booster vaccine is a follow-up vaccine given to individuals after receiving the complete primary COVID-19 vaccine to improve effectiveness and increase the individual's level of immunity to extend the protection period against COVID-19 infection. However, some people are still unsure about the booster. This study aims to determine the acceptance of the COVID-19 booster vaccine in the work area of Baumata Health Center. This research was descriptive, using a rapid survey method. The sample size was 210 respondents and was selected using a two-stage cluster sampling technique. The research results illustrated that respondents' knowledge regarding booster vaccines is quite good (50%), the level of trust in booster vaccines is classified as doubtful (49.05%), and the public's attitude regarding booster vaccines is quite good (65.24%). Respondents refused the booster because COVID-19 was considered no longer present. Public knowledge needs to be increased to improve people's belief and attitude towards receiving the vaccine.

Abstract

Adolescence is a period when individuals begin to pay more attention to their physical condition, which is known as body image. Body image is defined as an individual's perception of how satisfied and accepting they are of their physical appearance, which is influenced by their own perceptions. Self-esteem is the result of an individual's evaluation of themselves, expressed in their attitudes and acceptance of their qualities. This study aims to determine whether there is a relationship between body image and self-esteem among female psychology students at Nusa Cendana University, involving 156 female participants. This study employed a quantitative research method through the distribution of questionnaires. The hypothesis test found a significance value of 0.006 < 0.05, which means that the study indicates a relationship between body image and self-esteem among female students. Students with a better perception of their body image tend to show positive emotional responses, including self-esteem.

Abstract

Wasting merupakan kondisi berat badan anak yang jauh di bawah rentang normal (BB/TB < -2 SD). Berdasarkan data SSGI 2023, prevalensi wasting di Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur sebesar 9,0%, Kota Kupang sebesar 11,5%, dan tercatat di Puskesmas Oesapa sebanyak 568 kasus. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi Program Penanggulangan Wasting 2024 di Puskesmas Oesapa dengan pendekatan sistem: input (SDM, pendanaan, sarana prasarana, metode), proses (perencanaan, pelaksanaan, pemantauan, evaluasi), output (cakupan dan sasaran), dan outcome (indikator keberhasilan dan tindak lanjut). Penelitian deskriptif kualitatif ini melibatkan sembilan informan melalui wawancara. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa SDM sudah memadai, namun wilayah layanan yang luas menjadi kendala. Pendanaan sudah mencukupi, namun sarana prasarana belum lengkap. Program sudah sesuai dengan juknis. Perencanaan dan pelaksanaan sudah sesuai dengan rencana kerja. Kasus wasting ditemukan pada saat penimbangan di posyandu. Pemantauan dan evaluasi berjalan dengan baik. Cakupan sudah baik, namun ada beberapa anak wasting yang tidak dapat ditangani karena berdomisili di luar Kota Kupang. Pada tahun 2024, program ini menargetkan pemulihan bagi 400 anak melalui kolaborasi lintas sektor, peningkatan sanitasi, akses air bersih, dan program pemberian makanan berbasis pangan lokal. Rekomendasi yang diberikan meliputi penyesuaian jadwal kunjungan, penilaian kebutuhan SDM, penyelesaian infrastruktur, dan peningkatan koordinasi lintas sektor.
