Abstract

Background: Giardiasis is a protozoa infection caused by Giardia intestinalis, which commonly infects children, impairing children’s growth, development, and cognitive function. Standard diagnosis is carried out by microscopic examination of stool. This study aimed to evaluate coproantigen examination in stunted children compared to microscopic examination.Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on stools collected from a survey among stunted children in Bandung in 2019. Stools were preserved in 10% formaldehyde and kept at -20oC until used. Direct microscopy examination with 2% lugol solution and coproantigen ELISA test using Giardia Cryptosporidium (combo test) coproantigen test kit were performed in Parasitology Laboratory Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Indonesia.Result: A total of 99 stools originated from stunted children aged 2-6 years. with boys predominant (52.5%). Microscopic examination showed that 12.1% (12/99) of the children were harboring intestinal parasites, such as the protozoa Giardia intestinalis, Blastocystis spp, and Entamoeba coli (E. coli). Giardia was the primary infection (9.1%), of which single Giardia infection (n = 8) and mixed infection of Giardia and Blastocystis spp (n = 1).  Interestingly, coproantigen examination resulted in 6 positive samples, and 4 samples agreed with the microscopy result. With a sensitivity of 44.4% and a specificity of 97.7%. The positive and negative predictive values were 66.7% and 94.7%, respectively.Conclusion: A moderate prevalence of Giardia in stunted children in Bandung regency has been observed. The combo coproantigen test method has high specificity and is suitable for use as a confirmation test to exclude Giardia infection.

Abstract

Dengue fever remains a significant public health challenge, particularly in tropical countries like Indonesia. This study investigates the role of environmental and communication strategies in mitigating dengue fever transmission in Jababeka, Cikarang, an area with high urbanization and dengue incidence. Using a cross-sectional observational design, the research combines environmental surveys and evaluations of health communication strategies. Key findings indicate a high House Index (HI) of 12.5%, exceeding the critical risk threshold of 10%. The primary mosquito breeding sites were identified as outdoor containers such as unused buckets, discarded tires, and flower pot trays. Communication strategies like the "3M" campaign were widely known, but only a minority consistently adopted preventive measures, indicating gaps between knowledge and practice. The study highlights the need for community-centered, culturally sensitive, and technologically innovative approaches to enhance awareness and participation in dengue prevention. Strengthening collaboration between communities, governments, and stakeholders is essential to achieve sustainable mitigation outcomes.

Abstract

The major consideration of the investigation is to find out the interaction of the competencies of clinical staff, the change agent, and the new technology together with the performance of a healthcare unit in the contemporary innovation-oriented clinical network. The study originates from the perception of the need for innovations and changes in the healthcare industry which is a very much the case for the modern clinical organizations that are to provide soon, excellent, and technology-based services. For the research, a quantitative explanatory strategy was used, along with a sample of 150 respondents made up of clinical and administrative staff, as well as operational managers from the modern clinical network. Deliberate or purpose sampling was the technique employed to select respondents based on their work experience, involvement in operations, and familiarity with digital service systems. The results of multiple linear regression analysis indicated that each of the three independent variables had a positive and significant impact on the innovation performance of the healthcare units. The coefficient of determination value indicates that the blend of clinical staff competency, change management, and service digitalization has a great impact on innovation performance. The research advocates the clinical staff training as an important tactic, in addition to establishing change management infrastructures, and speeding up the digitalization of services, for boosting the innovation in modern clinic networks.
