Abstract

Background: Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among children under five, especially in coastal areas with high housing density and poor ventilation. Unhealthy home environments significantly increase the risk of ARI transmission. Objective: To determine the relationship between housing density and home ventilation with the incidence of ARI among children under five in the coastal area of the Lingkar Timur Public Health Center, Bengkulu City. Methods: This study employed an analytic observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of 283 mothers with children under five, and 74 respondents were selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected through interviews and home observations using questionnaires and observation sheets. Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate (Chi-square test, α = 0.05). Results: There was a significant relationship between housing density and ARI incidence (χ² = 13.455; p = 0.000) and between home ventilation and ARI incidence (χ² = 29.540; p = 0.000). Children living in houses with overcrowded and poorly ventilated conditions were at a higher risk of developing ARI. Conclusion: Housing density and ventilation are significantly associated with ARI incidence among children under five. Preventive efforts should include improving housing conditions, enhancing family health education, and strengthening community-based interventions to promote healthy homes.

Abstract

Background: Sanitation development issues are socio-cultural problems, one of which is the behavior of residents who are accustomed to defecating in public places. According to data from the Indonesian Ministry of Health, 25% of the population uses unsanitary toilets and 17.7% still defecate in public places. Data from the Tanjung Iman Health Center in 2024 shows that only 57.3% of families have toilets, which is far from the government's target of 80%. Data from Sinar Jaya Village shows that 73.33% of respondents living in the watershed area practice open defecation in rivers. In addition, 66.6% of the community did not know the benefits of toilets, the requirements for healthy toilets, or the impact of open defecation in rivers, so the community did not want to have family toilets. Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine a correlation between knowledge and the role of health workers with the family ownership of healthy toilets among the coastal community of Sinar Jaya Village. Method: This study is a quantitative study using a cross-sectional design. The population consisted of 352 respondents. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling. The number of samples found was 80. The analysis used was univariate analysis and bivariate analysis with the Chi-Square test. Research results: Almost all of the respondents did not have a family toilet, a small number of respondents had insufficient knowledge, and a small number of respondents had health workers who did not support them. There was a correlation between knowledge (p=0.000) and the role of health workers (p=0.003) and the ownership of family toilets. Conclusion : The suggestion for future researchers is to investigate the socio-cultural behavioral factors related to family toilet ownership using multivariate analysis and in-depth interviews.

Abstract

Background: The health service sector in hospitals, particularly the inpatient unit, is one where healthcare workers are vulnerable to work stress. If the majority of nurses experience work stress, it can disrupt the hospital's performance as they may not be able to provide optimal care. Objective: This study aims to identify the factors related to work stress among inpatient nurses at RSUD Mukomuko. Metods: he method used is an analytical survey with a cross-sectional research design. Data was collected through primary data by distributing questionnaires to 34 inpatient nurses at RSUD Mukomuko using Total Sampling technique. Data analysis was conducted using the Chi-Square test. Research results: Univariate analysis results show that more than half of the nurses (55.9%) have a short work period, more than half of the nurses (61.8%) have good interpersonal relationships, more than half of the nurses (67.6%) have a moderate workload, more than half of the nurses (52.9%) have poor sleep quality, and more than half of the nurses (61.8%) experience moderate work stress. Bivariate analysis results indicate a relationship between work period and work stress among nurses (p=0.007), a relationship between interpersonal relationships and work stress among nurses (p=0.005), a relationship between workload and work stress among nurses (p=0.024), and a relationship between sleep quality and work stress among nurses (p=0.017). Conclusion : The researchers recommend that the hospital management provide work assignments to nurses while considering various factors, including work period, work experience, and workload, so that nurses can deliver maximum service to patients without being burdened by personal issues arising from the existing work system in the hospital. Additionally, if possible, they should proportionally increase the number of nurses in accordance with the number of patients.
