Abstract

Leptospirosis also known as Well's disease, is an acute infection that can affect humans and animals and is classified as a zoonotic disease. This disease is caused by bacteria from the genus Leptospira, which are commonly found in rodents. Cases of leptospirosis in humans generally occur during the rainy season with high rainfall that often causes flooding, both in urban and rural areas. This disease also tends to appear in areas with poor sanitation, low implementation of clean and healthy living behaviors, and a high population of rats carrying Leptospira bacteria in the environment. The problem in the target locations is the lack of public knowledge regarding environmental sanitation efforts and leptospirosis prevention. Educational activities are carried out in two areas: Banta-bantang and Manggala. The solution to be provided at the target locations is counseling on environmental sanitation efforts, including how to control rats both physically and chemically. Based on the implementation plan, the external targets include submitting a national journal, creating a video of the activity implementation and intellectual property rights (HAKI), while the achievement targets in community service are implementation achievement targets. The target for implementation is that 80% of the community understands efforts to prevent leptospirosis 80%, the community understands rat control 80% and education on making rat traps 80%.

Abstract

Based on the Indonesian Health Survey (SKI) conducted in 2023, it is estimated that there are around 70 million active smokers in Indonesia. One of the most concerning findings from this survey is the significant increase in the number of smokers among children and adolescents, indicating that younger age groups are becoming more vulnerable to tobacco use. This study aims to identify the factors that influence smoking habits among adolescents in Soga Village, located in Soppeng Regency. The type of research is observational analytic with a cross-sectional design. The population in this study were all male adolescents in Soga Village, Soppeng Regency, totaling 200 adolescents. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with a total sample of 133 people. The results showed that there was a relationship between easy access to cigarettes with smoking habits in adolescents with a p-value of 0.005 < 0.05, there was no relationship between friends with smoking habits in adolescents with a p-value of 0.596 > 0.05, there was a relationship between knowledge and smoking with a p-value of 0.001 < 0.05, there was no relationship between advertising promotion as a factor triggering smoking habits with a p-value of 0.265 > 0.05, there was a family relationship with smoking with a p-value of 0.005 < 0.05 and there was a relationship between cigarette addiction with smoking habits with a p-value of 0.001 < 0.05. The conclusion in the study is that the factors that trigger adolescent smoking habits are access to cigarettes, knowledge, family and smoking addiction. It is recommended that adolescents divert activities to more useful activities such as sports, arts, or youth organizations in the village so that free time is not filled with smoking behavior.

Abstract

Background: Disease transmission is strongly supported by the presence of disease vectors. Along coastal areas, shrimp ponds, swamps, and stagnant water are commonly found, which provide ideal breeding sites for mosquitoes, where many vector-borne diseases are prevalent. Objectives: This study aims to determine the bioecological diversity of virus-carrying mosquitoes in light of the persistently high incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), particularly focusing on the disease vector Aedes spp. The study examines aspects of bioecological distribution, species diversity of mosquitoes in coastal and highland areas, species distribution patterns in both regions, and how these distributions are influenced by geographic location, habitat type or breeding sites, mosquito density, and environmental characteristics of coastal and mountainous regions. Methods: This study employed an observational approach with a bioecological study design. Data were analyzed descriptively to assess egg and larval density of mosquitoes using a free collection method conducted in coastal and highland areas of Mamuju and Polewali Mandar Regencies, specifically in areas reporting DHF cases. Results: The results indicate that ovitraps are effective in reducing Aedes spp. mosquito density, as reflected by the ovitrap index. Conclusion: The ovitrap index was higher in highland areas than in coastal areas, influenced by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and the abundance of breeding sites. It is expected that the local government, through the District Health Office, will provide community education on controlling Aedes spp. mosquitoes by installing ovitraps in individual households.
