<![CDATA[Oebobo Traditional Market is one of the traditional markets located in district of Oebobo, the district with the highest number of COVID-19 cases in Kupang, with 823 cases. The implementation of health protocols is one of the essential steps to prevent the COVID-19 virus that is easy to spread, especially through droplets that come out when someone talks, coughs, or sneezes. This study aimed to describe the implementation of health protocols for sellers in the Oebobo Traditional Market. This research was descriptive quantitative research. Respondents in this study were sellers in Oebobo Traditional Market, and the respondents were 80 people. The instrument in this study was a questionnaire. The analytical technique in this study is descriptive analysis to see the description of the implementation of health protocols on sellers at Oebobo Traditional Market. The results showed that 8% of respondents always used masks, 54% always washed their hands, 8% always kept their distance, and 100% did not use plastic barriers between sellers and buyers. The cause for not implementing health protocols is because there is a bad feeling if traders have to ask to use masks or keep a distance. They also have difficulty breathing or communicating, maintaining a distance because of the narrow place, lack of facilities for washing hands such as soap or water, and lack of supervision by officers. It is recommended that the sellers better comply with the health protocols set by the government and can improve to control the implementation of health protocols at Oebobo Traditional Market.]]>

<![CDATA[Diarrhea can be treated properly to reduce its severity. Behavioral elements within society are risk factors that can lead to diarrheal disease. Poor sanitation practices, inadequate access to clean water, improper food handling, and insufficient hygiene habits can increase the risk of transmission of diarrheal illness. Additionally, socio-economic disparities, cultural beliefs, and educational levels can influence individuals' behaviors related to hygiene and sanitation, further exacerbating the risk of diarrheal diseases. Compared to other Puskesmas, the one in South Atambua had a very high number of diarrhea cases in 2021—up to 88 incidents among toddlers, according to Belu District Health Office statistics. This study aimed to identify variables associated with mothers' conduct when treating their toddler's diarrhea. This kind of cross-sectional, quantitative study was carried out in Atambua Selatan, employing a sample size of 72 participants and a simple random sampling technique. The Chi-Square statistical test was utilized in both univariate and bivariate data analysis. The findings indicated that while education level had no association with mothers' behavior in managing the incidence of diarrhea among newborns, knowledge and family support did (p-value = 0.000) have a relationship with maternal behavior in handling diarrhea in toddlers. Otherwise, mothers' behaviors regarding diarrhea among toddlers were not correlated with their level of education. In the future, health officers are expected to provide information on how to deal with diarrhea among toddlers regularly and involve other family members to support mothers. The collaborative efforts of health officers and family members are essential in safeguarding toddlers' health and well-being during diarrhea episodes.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: In 2022, there was a large increase in cases resulting in extraordinary events cases in the TTS district with the number 226 cases. Half of the percentage of outbreak cases that occurred in Soe City with a number of cases is 134 cases. Spatial analysis can be used to see patterns of disease distribution in certain areas.Methods: This research is a type of descriptive research with a case study approach. This descriptive research was carried out using a survey method where there was no intervention on variables but simply observing natural phenomena or looking for relationships between these phenomena and other variables.Results: The research of dengue case data is divided into univariate analysis and spatial analysis, for example, classification, buffering and Moran index. Environmental factors in the form of the existence and condition of water reservoirs with dengue fever incidents can be seen in data related to the number of water reservoirs used by the community which are left open and the number is >3, making it easier for mosquitoes to breed. In the Spatial Classification Analysis, Nonohonis Village has the highest level of risk, but Autocorrelation Analysis states that the Oekefan area has larger cluster points than Nonohonis Village. Furthermore, environmental factors include the existence and condition of dug wells. at a depth of ≤15m with open conditions makes it easier for mosquitoes to breed. Apart from that, based on the buffer data above, it can be seen that at a radius of <100m it is 3 times larger than a radius of 100 to 300m and 2.7 times larger than a radius of 300m to 500m. Environmental factors include the existence and condition of waste water drainage channels (SPAL) with dengue fever incidents. Based on the buffer data above, it can be seen that at a radius of <100m it is 0.6 times greater than the radius from 100 to 300m and 0.8 times greater than the radius from 300m to 500m.Conclusion: It is necessary to control mosquito breeding in water reservoirs and dug wells through education regarding malaria risk factors in Soe City.]]>

<![CDATA[There are many causes of death for women n this world, one of which s breast cancer. Breast cancer s the second largest contributor to the death rate for women after cervical cancer. This disease s a condition where cells n the breast grow rapidly and attack all parts of the body. However, only a small proportion of women perform BSE, namely 25 to 30% of young women who do BSE. This study aims to analyze the determinants of breast self-examination (BSE) behavior n female adolescents at high schools n Kalabahi City, Alor Regency. This research s a quantitative study using a cross sectional study design method. The sample n this study were all young women attending high schools n Kalabahi City, Alor Regency, namely 312 young women. The data analysis used n this study was univariate analysis and bivariate analysis, using the chi-square test with a significant level of 95% (α = 0.05). The results showed that there was a significant relationship between knowledge (ρ-value = 0.000), attitude (ρ-value=0.000), nformation exposure (ρ-value=0.000), family history (ρ-value=0.000), and peer support (ρ-value=0.000) with BSE behavior. Young women are expected to be able to play an active role and have the willingness to seek nformation related to BSE and do so according to the right steps. Schools and health offices are expected to be a source of nformation for young women regarding BSE through various health promotion efforts, especially counseling or socialization related to BSE.]]>

<![CDATA[Pelaksanaan klinik sanitasi di dalam dan di luar gedung puskesmas bertujuan untuk mengatasi kejadian penyakit berbasis lingkungan, seperti ISPA, DBD, diare, dan tuberkulosis yang terkait dengan kondisi lingkungan yang kurang baik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan pelaksanaan klinik sanitasi dalam penurunan penyakit berbasis lingkungan di Puskesmas Oebobo, Kota Kupang. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan desain deskriptif observasional. Populasi penelitian mencakup petugas, pasien, dan klien dengan total kunjungan sebanyak 32 orang, menggunakan teknik total sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pelaksanaan klinik sanitasi di dalam gedung telah berjalan dengan baik. Pelaksanaan di luar gedung juga berjalan dengan baik, namun sebagian pasien dan klien belum mengetahui kegiatan ini karena mereka belum pernah mendapatkan kunjungan rumah dari petugas. Berdasarkan indikator keberhasilan langsung, jumlah kunjungan klien meningkat sementara kunjungan pasien menurun. Namun, indikator tidak langsung menunjukkan bahwa penyakit berbasis lingkungan masih meningkat, disebabkan oleh partisipasi yang kurang dari pasien dan klien terhadap rujukan dan kunjungan rumah oleh petugas. Oleh karena itu, pelaksanaan klinik sanitasi dalam penurunan penyakit berbasis lingkungan belum dapat dikatakan berhasil sepenuhnya karena jumlah penyakit berbasis lingkungan masih meningkat. Diharapkan tenaga kesehatan dan petugas sanitarian dapat meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat terkait pentingnya klinik sanitasi bagi kesehatan masyarakat dalam menanggulangi penyakit berbasis lingkungan, sehingga tercipta masyarakat yang lebih sehat.]]>

<![CDATA[The family planning program revitalization focuses on increasing Long Term Contraception Method/MKJP use, including IUD contraception. Data stated that IUD use in the work area of Tena Teke Health Center was still low, as it only reached 2.42%. The research aims to examine the use of IUD contraception among couples of childbearing ages. The method was descriptive qualitative with a case-study approach. Informants were determined by using a purposive sampling technique with the criteria of women of childbearing age >35 years old, who had >2 children, and who used/had ever used an IUD. The research results found that informants who were not IUD users felt afraid because they thought IUD had side effects, including abdominal pain and discomfort during sexual intercourse. In contrast, informants who used IUDs believed that the contraceptive was safe to use. Husbands' support for non-IUD users was still limited to accompanying spouses to health facilities but not present during consultation and examination, while IUD informants reported receiving support from their husbands. Informants who did not use an IUD were likely to believe other people's incorrect experiences and stories compared to information from health workers. This was different from IUD informants who obtained clear and correct information about IUDs directly from midwives. Family planning health workers need to increase education by involving husbands in family planning programs.]]>
