Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health problem globally and nationally, including in Indonesia. The success of TB control is greatly influenced by public knowledge and attitudes towards the disease. However, knowledge gaps, negative attitudes, and stigma remain, hindering TB prevention and treatment. This study aims to examine the public's knowledge and attitudes regarding pulmonary tuberculosis prevention through a literature review of studies published between 2021 and 2023. This study used a short systematic literature review method with a focus on cross-sectional observational studies that measured knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) towards TB in various populations. A literature search was conducted on Google Scholar, PubMed, and other repositories with relevant articles from 2021-2023 as inclusion criteria. Of the 9 articles that met the inclusion criteria, it was found that the level of public knowledge about TB varied between 44% and 75%, while positive attitudes ranged from 11% to 91%. Factors influencing knowledge and positive attitudes were education level, socioeconomic status, residence, and access to health information. Although the majority of people have good knowledge and attitudes, obstacles such as social stigma and misconceptions still hinder effective preventive behavior. Public knowledge and attitudes toward pulmonary TB vary and are strongly influenced by socioeconomic and educational factors. Community-based health education and communication campaigns tailored to local cultures are crucial to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and support TB prevention.

Abstract

Stunting merupakan kondisi gagal tumbuh pada anak balita akibat kekurangan gizi kronis terutama dalam 1000 hari pertama kehidupan. Indonesia adalah salah satu negara dengan masalah malnutrisi tertinggi dan juga menempati urutan ketiga dengan angka stunting tertinggi yakni 36,4% atau sekitar 9 juta kasus. Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur menduduki urutan pertama dengan angka kasus gizi buruk dan gizi kurang tertinggi pada Baduta (bawah dua tahun) yakni 6,9% untuk gizi buruk dan 17,6% untuk gizi kurang. Dari angka ini, sebanyak 17,45% Baduta dengan gizi buruk dan kurang berada di Sumba Timur. Berdasarkan data hasil screening tim pengabdian, kejadian stunting cukup tinggi dengan jumlah kasus 156 kasus dan dari jumlah tersebut 95 kasus terdapat Desa Temu Kecamatan Kanatang. Selain itu, terdapat 3 balita Bawah Garis Merah (BGM) dan 5 balita tidak naik BB (2T) yang tidak hanya beresiko tinggi, namun juga memperbesar potensi meningkatnya angka stunting. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk mencegah kejadian stunting melalui pendampingan keluarga balita risiko stunting. Berdasarkan hasil kegiatan disimpulkan bahwa pelaksanaan kegiatan berjalan dengan baik dan metode yang digunakan efektif dimana terdapat peningkatan pengetahuan keluarga tentang stunting, pemilihan dan pengolahan makanan dengan memanfaatkan sumber pangan lokal bagi baduta, dan seluruh sasaran memiliki dapur hidup.

Abstract

Background: Malaria is a disease caused by the plasmodium parasite transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito. The high malaria endemic area is concentrated on Sumba Island. Aim: To identify the challenges and successes of malaria elimination programs in endemic areas. Method: This research is a literature review. The literature search process uses the Google Scholar database with the keywords 'Challenges and Successes of Malaria Elimination Programs in Endemic Areas'. Inclusion criteria are journals published in the 2022-2023 period, journal article types with quantitative, qualitative research methods and review results, journals can be accessed in full via full text pdf files, articles taken are national and international journal articles. Results: The challenges of malaria elimination programs in endemic areas are increasing resistance to treatment, decreasing vaccine efficacy, Human resources, infrastructure and supporting equipment are still lacking in quantity and quality, limited funding, weak community involvement programs, multisectors and stakeholders, geographical conditions, geology and community behavior. The success of malaria elimination programs in endemic areas by increasing capacity, capability, regional and national resilience, health and technical human resource competencies and leadership in disease control, expanding multisectoral initiative programs, holistic quality approaches involving individuals/ families/ communities, increasing investment in research and development of potentially transformative technologies used in malaria elimination programs. So, national and international multisectoral cooperation needs to be improved so that the target of eliminating malaria is achieved.

Abstract

Background: Malaria is an acute febrile disease caused by the plasmodium parasite that is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito. Highly endemic districts of malaria are still concentrated on Sumba Island. Objective: to identify factors influencing the incidence of malaria in East Nusa Tenggara. Method: This type of research is a literature review, literature search using the Google Scholar, ScinceDirect, PubMed, and Proquest databases with the keywords 'Factors influencing the incidence of malaria cases in East Nusa Tenggara'. Inclusion criteria are journals published in the period 2021-2022, original journal types of articles with quantitative and qualitative research methods, journals can be fully accessed via full text pdf files, articles taken are national and international journal articles. Results: Factors influencing the incidence of malaria are population mobility or history of travel to malaria endemic areas, living habits and going out of the house especially at night without using mosquito protection, low public awareness of the incidence of malaria, and the presence of mosquito breeding grounds in residential areas. The suggestions in this study are to maintain environmental cleanliness, increase awareness and lifestyle habits by implementing malaria prevention and limiting population mobility to malaria endemic areas.
