Abstract

Hypertension is one of the leading non-communicable diseases posing a serious public health threat in Indonesia, especially in South Kalimantan, which has the highest national prevalence. Telok Selong Ulu Village in Banjar Regency is among the areas with a significant number of hypertension cases. The lack of public knowledge and awareness about the signs and symptoms of hypertension, along with the limited skills of health cadres in conducting early detection, are major challenges. This community service program aimed to empower local health cadres and residents through education and training on hypertension and early detection techniques using medical devices. The activities included health education sessions, demonstrations of how to use digital blood pressure monitors, and checks for blood sugar, cholesterol, and uric acid levels. Results showed an increase in both knowledge and skills among participants in identifying hypertension independently. High enthusiasm was observed during hands-on practice, indicating the success of a participatory approach in promoting health awareness. It is hoped that the community will apply the acquired knowledge in daily life to prevent complications and reduce the prevalence of hypertension at the local level..

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that remains a major public health concern, especially among toddlers. One of the prevention efforts is through adequate exclusive breastfeeding and sufficient animal protein intake during the growth period. The working area of Landasan Ulin Public Health Center reports a relatively high stunting prevalence, exceeding the national target, with suboptimal coverage of exclusive breastfeeding and animal protein consumption. This study aims to describe the history of exclusive breastfeeding and animal protein consumption among stunted toddlers in this area. This research used a descriptive observational method with a quantitative approach. The population included all stunted toddlers aged 24–59 months in the Landasan Ulin working area, totaling 176 children. A sample of 71 toddlers was selected using proportional simple random sampling. Data were collected through interviews using a questionnaire and analyzed univariately. The results showed that 56.3% of stunted toddlers received exclusive breastfeeding, and 70.4% had moderate levels of animal protein intake. Meanwhile, 43.7% were not exclusively breastfed, and 28.2% had low animal protein intake. Parents are expected to improve their knowledge and practices regarding exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months and ensure sufficient animal protein intake to support optimal growth and prevent stunting.

Abstract

Background: Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus, transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. This illness poses a significant public health threat, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions such as Indonesia. Poor environmental sanitation can promote the breeding of the disease vector, leading to an increase in DHF cases. As a result, public awareness and understanding of sanitation practices are essential for preventing and controlling this disease. Purpose: This study aims to investigate the relationship between knowledge of environmental sanitation and the incidence of Dengue Fever in the coastal areas of Mataram City. Methods: This study adopted a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, collecting data at a singular point in time. A structured questionnaire was employed to observe and measure variables within the target population. Two hundred thirteen respondents were selected through systematic random sampling, adhering to clearly defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The primary instruments utilized in this research included a survey sheet and a validated questionnaire. Results: The findings from the Spearman rank correlation test revealed a statistically significant relationship between environmental sanitation and the incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), as indicated by a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). The correlation coefficient (r = 0.320) demonstrates a moderate positive association between these two variables. Conclusion and recommendation: This study reveals a statistically significant association between environmental sanitation conditions and the incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), indicating a moderate positive correlation (r = 0.320; p < 0.05). These findings underscore the importance of environmental hygiene as a crucial factor in the transmission dynamics of DHF within the population examined
