Abstract

Background: Dengue fever is a major public health problem, especially in heavily populated metropolitan areas like Palembang City, Indonesia. Gaining insight into the impact of climatic conditions on the dynamics of dengue transmission is essential for guiding specific public health actions. Objective: The objective of this study is to examine the correlation between temperature, rainfall, wind speed, air humidity, and the occurrence of dengue disease in Palembang City. Methods: Using observational data collected from 2016 to 2019 and 2022, we applied bivariate analytic approaches to evaluate the associations between meteorological factors and the incidence of dengue disease. Results: The findings demonstrate a notable inverse relationship between temperature and the occurrence of dengue disease, although rainfall displayed a favorable relationship. The relationships between wind speed, air humidity, air pressure, and dengue fever incidence were shown to be weaker. Conclusion: These findings highlight the significance of utilizing meteorological factors in early warning systems to enhance disease surveillance and control measures in metropolitan environments. This work helps to the creation of evidence-based strategies for reducing the burden of dengue fever in locations where it is common by explaining the intricate connections between climatic conditions and the dynamics of dengue transmission.

Abstract

Worm infections due to Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH) remain a significant public health problem, especially in children aged 5–14 years in areas with limited sanitation, risky environmental conditions, and low levels of family health literacy. Mothers have an important role as the main caregiver in shaping hygiene behavior and disease prevention in children, so that maternal empowerment through health education is an important preventive strategy. This activity aims to analyze the effectiveness of booklet-based health education in improving maternal knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to the prevention of worms in children. Community service activities were carried out in the assisted areas of the University of Muhammadiyah Palembang using a pre-experimental design of one group pretest involving 95 mothers. Interventions are carried out through health counseling using booklet media, presentations, and interactive discussions. Data were collected using pre- and post-intervention questionnaires, then analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge (mean 65.83 to 99.42), attitude (63.95 to 99.50), and behavior (65.37 to 100.00) with a p value of < 0.001. All participants experienced changes to the good category after the intervention. These findings show that booklet-based education is effective in improving maternal health literacy and preventive behavior. This education has important implications as a sustainable promotive and preventive strategy to strengthen family-based deworming prevention and improve the health of children in the community.Infeksi cacing akibat Soil Transmited Helminths (STH) masih menjadi masalah kesehatan masyarakat yang signifikan, terutama pada anak usia 5–14 tahun di daerah dengan sanitasi terbatas, kondisi lingkungan berisiko, dan rendahnya tingkat literasi kesehatan keluarga. Ibu mempunyai peran penting sebagai caregiver utama dalam membentuk perilaku higienitas dan pencegahan penyakit pada anak, sehingga pemberdayaan ibu melalui pendidikan kesehatan menjadi salah satu strategi preventif yang penting. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efektivitas pendidikan kesehatan berbasis booklet dalam meningkatkan pengetahuan, sikap, dan perilaku ibu terkait pencegahan cacingan pada anak. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat dilaksanakan di wilayah binaan Universitas Muhammadiyah Palembang dengan menggunakan desain pre-experimental one group pretest yang melibatkan 95 orang ibu. Intervensi dilakukan melalui penyuluhan kesehatan dengan menggunakan media booklet, presentasi, dan diskusi interaktif. Data dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan kuesioner sebelum dan sesudah intervensi, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan uji Wilcoxon. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya peningkatan yang signifikan pada pengetahuan (mean 65,83 menjadi 99,42), sikap (63,95 menjadi 99,50), dan perilaku (65,37 menjadi 100,00) dengan nilai p < 0,001. Seluruh partisipan mengalami perubahan ke kategori baik setelah dilakukan intervensi. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa pendidikan berbasis buklet efektif dalam meningkatkan literasi kesehatan ibu dan perilaku preventif. Edukasi ini mempunyai implikasi penting sebagai strategi promotif dan preventif yang berkelanjutan untuk memperkuat pencegahan cacingan berbasis keluarga dan meningkatkan kesehatan anak di masyarakat.

Abstract

Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infection remains a public health concern in tropical urban settings. Understanding its spatial distribution and relationship with environmental determinants is important for targeted control. This cross-sectional spatial study included 294 primary school children (grades III and IV) from 18 districts of Palembang, Indonesia. Schools and participants were selected using two-stage cluster sampling. Stool specimens were examined using the direct smear method with eosin staining. District-level population density, latrine coverage, and piped water access were obtained from official statistics. Spatial autocorrelation was assessed using Global Moran's I, Local Indicators of Spatial Association (LISA), and bivariate LISA. The overall STH prevalence was 16.7% (49/294 children). Most districts had low prevalence (<20%), while Ilir Barat Dua (41.2%), Ilir Barat Satu (35.3%), and Kertapati (29.4%) showed moderate prevalence (20-50%). Global Moran's I indicated significant positive spatial autocorrelation for latrine coverage (I = 0.190; p = 0.043), but not for population density (I = -0.135; p = 0.078) or piped water access (I = -0.049; p = 0.449). LISA mapping identified localized clusters of higher STH prevalence in areas with inadequate latrine coverage. STH endemicity in Palembang is low to moderate, but localized clusters remain. Sanitation, particularly latrine availability, was the main environmental factor associated with spatial clustering, whereas population density and piped water access showed no significant spatial association. Targeted sanitation improvement, hygiene education, and spatially guided surveillance are recommended.

Abstract

The co-infection of HIV with helminthiasis might accelerate the progression of HIV to AIDS, making a thorough comprehension of this condition essential for patients. This counseling session was conducted in the Ilir Timur 2 District (Dobu Coffee) with 30 HIV patients, employing a face-to-face methodology that included presentations by speakers and laboratory analyses of fecal materials. The comprehension was evaluated using a pre-test and post-test involving 34 participants, yielding an average pre-test score of 51.42 (standard deviation: 16.75) and a post-test score of 71.39 (standard deviation: 16.96), demonstrating a significant improvement. A PCR study indicated that 24 patients were positive for helminth infections. The results suggested a beneficial effect on participants' knowledge, but with score discrepancies. The detection of helminth infections in patients demands further investigation, including investigations on the correlation between helminth infections and the immune function of HIV patients. Additionally, routine examinations must be conducted as an integral part of patient health surveillance to guarantee beneficial early detection.

Abstract

Worldwide, typhoid disease affects between 11 and 20 million individuals annually. The risk is higher for men, for those with less education, and for those less than fourteen years old. This study aims to examine the impact of counseling on typhoid prevention knowledge among patients at Muhammadiyah Hospital. A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest approach was employed to interview 30 participants to evaluate their knowledge levels prior to and following counseling. The Marginal Homogeneity Test indicated a rise in average knowledge levels from 2.03 to 2.80. The findings indicated that counseling enhances understanding of typhoid prevention, underscoring the necessity of basic healthcare education for patients and their families.
