Abstract

Traditional health services are one of the alternative treatments used by the community in Indonesia. Some even preferred using traditional health services as the primary treatment than modern health services. This study analyzed factors associated with using traditional health services in the coastal area of Laha Village, Ambon City. Data were derived from a household health survey conducted in the coastal area of Laha Village in November 2022. The dependent variable was the use of traditional health services. Independent variables included demographic status, lifestyle, and the history of illness. This analysis employed multivariate logistic regression methods to analyze factors associated with using traditional health services. We found an increased odds of using traditional health services in respondents aged >60 years (aOR=4.13; 95%CI: 1.47-11.55; p=0.007), who owned a family medicinal plants (aOR=25.18; 95%CI: 12.41-51.07 p<0.001), and who never smoked cigarettes (aOR=3.45; 95%CI: 1.31-9.05; p=0.012). This study also examined the association between the history of illness respondents had and the use of traditional health services. We found a significant association between the history of joint diseases (aOR=2.34; 95%CI: 1.37-4.02; p=0.002) and injury (aOR=0.30; 95%CI: 0.16-0.56; p<0.001) with the use of traditional health services. This study shows the need for health promotion efforts on the utilization of traditional health services in the community to increase knowledge and correct understanding regarding the utilization of traditional health services.

Abstract

Diarrhea is defined as three or more liquid bowel movements in one day. Apart from being a cause of high morbidity and mortality in infants and toddlers, diarrhea is also a health problem in the elderly, especially in developing countries like Indonesia. This study aimed to analyze factors related to diarrheal in the people of Laha Village, one of the coastal villages in Ambon City. The data were derived from a household health survey carried out in the coastal area of Laha Village in November 2022. The dependent variable in this analysis was diarrhea. The independent variables were demographic status, sanitation, dietary patterns, and other diarrhea-related problems. Data analysis used a multivariate logistic regression method. The results of this study showed that the prevalence of diarrhea in Laha Village was 9.5%. Diarrhea was found in infants, children, young adults, and the elderly. We found a significant association between diarrhea and respondents aged >60 (aOR=3.6; 95CI%: 1.04-12.8; p=0.043). Although not significant, the percentage of diarrhea cases was higher in people who did not use latrines for defecation (11.8%) compared to people who used latrines (9.1%). These results indicate the need to conduct regular diarrhea prevention programs to prevent diarrhea, particularly for the elderly, in addition to efforts to improve hygiene and sanitation in the community.
