Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive multi-level analysis of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on public policy in the local health sector. Through an examination of policy changes, resource allocation, and response strategies across various local government levels, the research aims to understand the dynamic interplay between the pandemic and health policy adaptations. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the study combines quantitative data from policy documents and healthcare statistics with qualitative insights from interviews with healthcare professionals and policymakers. The findings reveal significant shifts in public health policy, emphasizing a rapid transition towards telehealth, increased focus on mental health services, and restructured emergency response protocols. The study also highlights the challenges faced by local health sectors, including resource constraints and the need for effective communication strategies. These adaptations and challenges underscore the critical role of local governance in responding to global health crises and the necessity for flexible, resilient health systems. The study contributes to the understanding of pandemic response mechanisms at the local level and offers insights into policy formulation and implementation in the face of public health emergencies.

Abstract

Malaria remains a global health issue, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. In Indonesia, Papua Province specifically Nabire Regency reports a high incidence of malaria, although a decline has been observed since 2010. Infants and pregnant women are the most vulnerable groups. Nutritional status, influenced by dietary patterns, environment, and access to healthcare, plays a crucial role in susceptibility to malaria. Malnourished children are more prone to severe malaria infections due to their underdeveloped immune systems. This research focuses on Kimi Health Center in Nabire Regency and aims to explore the relationship between the nutritional status of children under five and malaria incidence in 2024. The goal of this study is to determine the relationship between the nutritional status of children under five and malaria incidence at Kimi Health Center, Teluk Umar District, Nabire Regency, in 2024. The research design employs an analytical descriptive approach with a cross-sectional method to analyze the relationship between nutritional status and malaria incidence. Data was collected at one point in time and analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Kendall tau-b test through SPSS software. The results show that nutritional status significantly influences susceptibility to malaria. Children with poor nutrition are at a higher risk of experiencing severe malaria due to immune system dysfunction. Malnutrition, such as Protein-Energy Malnutrition (PEM), worsens parasitemia and anemia. Nutrient deficiencies, including iron, vitamin A, and zinc, also weaken the immune system. Therefore, improving nutritional status is a crucial effort in malaria control within endemic areas.

Abstract

Poor nutritional status in toddlers and the high incidence of malaria are two major health issues that continue to be significant challenges in Indonesia, particularly in tropical regions such as Papua. Children's health is heavily influenced by these two factors, where malnutrition can weaken the immune system, making them more vulnerable to infectious diseases like malaria. Toddlers with poor nutritional status, such as stunting and undernutrition, are more likely to contract malaria, which in turn worsens their health condition and can lead to various long-term complications. This study aims to explore the relationship between the nutritional status of toddlers and malaria incidence at Kimi Health Center in Nabire Regency in 2024. Using a descriptive-analytic approach with a cross-sectional design, The population of this study consists of 804 toddlers at Kimi Health Center, with 118 samples selected using purposive sampling. The instrument used in this study is a standardized questionnaire, which includes questions about the respondents' characteristics and factual information regarding their condition, as well as the results of laboratory malaria tests with positive results, the study will analyze data using the Kendall Tau test. The findings highlight that poor nutritional status, including conditions like Protein-Energy Malnutrition (PEM), increases the risk and severity of malaria, impairing the immune response and exacerbating complications such as anemia. Conversely, excess nutrition, such as obesity, can also compromise immunity, increasing malaria risk. Nutrient deficiencies, such as in iron, vitamin A, and zinc, further affect immune function and vulnerability to malaria. Improving nutritional status is crucial for reducing the risk and impact of malaria, particularly in endemic areas like Nabire.

Abstract

Remaja dapat mengalami perubahan fisik dan fisiologis yang meningkatkan kebutuhan nutrisi yang besar dan dapat menyebabkan kekurangan nutrisi. Kekurangan zat besi dan anemia lebih rentan dialami usia remaja. Hal ini karena cepatnya pertumbuhan pubertas dengan peningkatan berat badan tanpa lemak, massa sel darah merah dan volume darah, yang meningkatkan kebutuhan zat besi untuk kadar Hb dalam darah  Survey pendahuluan yang dilakukan di SMA Negeri 3 Nabire Kabupaten Nabire Provinsi Papua Tengah, berdasarkan informasi guru yang diperoleh data pada kelas XII yang berjumlah 120 siswi, setiap bulan selalu saja ada siswi yang tidak masuk sekolah karena sakit, setiap harinya terdapat siswi yang dibawa ke Unit Kesehatan Sekolah (UKS) dengan gejala anemia. Hal tersebut menjadi landasan dilaksanakannya pengabdian masyarakat dengan memberikan penyuluhan dan pemberian buku saku anemia. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat merupakan salah satu upaya preventif yang dapat mencegah dan menangani anemia pada remaja putri di SMA Negeri 3 Kabupaten Nabire.
