Abstract

Diarrhea remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children under five, especially in developing countries like Indonesia. Contaminated water that fails to meet physical and microbiological standards significantly contributes to disease transmission in children. This study employed a quantitative, observational analytic cross-sectional design to examine the relationship between well water quality and childhood diarrhea incidence in southern coastal areas. A total of 100 households with children aged 1-5 years, relying on well water for drinking, participated. Univariate analysis described respondent characteristics and water quality, while chi-square tests assessed associations between well water quality and childhood diarrhea incidence. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses determined risk magnitudes (odds ratios). The findings indicated a significant association between microbiological contamination of household well water and diarrhea occurrence in children (p = 0.001; OR = 4.00). Additionally, wells located less than 10 meters from septic tanks posed a higher risk (OR = 2.67). Although differences in well type (dug vs. drilled) were observed, they were not statistically significant (p = 0.202). These results indicate that poor well water quality is a major risk factor for diarrhoea in children in the southern coastal region. To reduce this risk, public health efforts need to focus on improving access to clean water, environmental sanitation education, and technical supervision in the construction and maintenance of wells. This integrated approach is important for reducing the incidence of diarrhoea in children and improving the health status of children in affected communities.

Abstract

Proper management of solid medical waste is essential to prevent environmental and health hazards. Improper handling can cause pollution and spread diseases within nearby communities. Objective: This study analyses solid medical waste management in health centres and its impact on environmental health in Koto Tangah, Air Pacah District, Padang City, West Sumatera. Method: A descriptive survey with quantitative and qualitative approaches was conducted from January to June 2024. Data were collected through direct observation, in-depth interviews with 15 waste management officers from selected health centres, and secondary data from environmental and public health reports (2023). Results: The findings show that medical waste management in these centres remains below standard, particularly in sorting, storage, and disposal practices. These shortcomings may degrade environmental quality and increase the risk of infectious diseases among local residents. Implications: The study highlights the urgent need to enhance staff capacity, awareness, and adherence to standard operating procedures for medical waste management to reduce environmental risks. Conclusion: Medical waste management in health centres across Air Pacah Sub-district requires significant improvement to mitigate its adverse effects on environmental health and to promote a cleaner, safer, and healthier community environment.
