Abstract

The Merauke hospital became a reference during the COVID-19 era for people living in Southern Papua - Merauke, Mappi, and Boven Digoel regencies. Thus, hospitals must prepare the nursing care staff in terms of cognition, psychomotor, and behavior in managing COVID-19. This research reviewed the nursing care behavior in preventing COVID-19 transmission at the Regional Hospital of Merauke. This cross-sectional study approach applied a total sampling technique, resulting in 60 nurses. The researchers distributed a questionnaire to collect cognitive, psychomotor, and behavioral data. From the findings, the researchers found 31 respondents, 51%, with very excellent behavior. Of those numbers, 22 respondents or 36.7% had excellent prevention while 9 respondents, or 15% had excellent prevention. From the total of 28 respondents, 46.7% had average behavior while sixteen respondents, or 26.7% had very excellent prevention. Respondents with excellent prevention consisted of 9 respondents, 15%. Respondents with average prevention consisted of 3 respondents, 5%. Then, respondents with low behavior and average prevention consisted of a respondent, 1.7%. The Chi-square obtained a p-value of 0.002, lower than 0.05. Conclusion: From the result, the researchers found the nursing behavior and COVID-19 and COVID-19 infection at Merauke Regional Hospital. The results also suggest managerial evaluation and supervision keep and improve the preventive behavior on COVID-19 transmission.

Abstract

Malaria remains a significant public health issue both globally and in Indonesia, particularly affecting high-risk groups such as infants, young children, and pregnant women. The increasing incidence of malaria is closely linked to environmental and behavioral factors. This study aims to examine the relationship between community behavior and environmental conditions with malaria incidence at the Arso City Health Center, Keerom Regency. A quantitative, cross-sectional design was used, allowing analysis of variables at a single point in time. The sample was selected through simple random sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Findings revealed that there is no significant relationship between the habit of going outside the house and malaria incidence (p = 0.07). However, there is a significant relationship between the use of mosquito repellent and malaria incidence (p = 0.000). Similarly, using mosquito nets and gauze also showed a significant relationship with reduced malaria cases. Environmental aspects such as mosquito breeding sites and unsealed house walls were also found to be significantly associated with malaria occurrence. These results suggest that both behavioral factors—particularly protective measures—and environmental conditions contribute to malaria transmission in the community. Public health efforts should prioritize education on preventive behaviors and improvements in living environments to reduce malaria risk.
