Abstract

Background: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) remain significant global health problems, especially among adolescents. The low knowledge and awareness of adolescents about HIV/AIDS contributes to the increase in infection rates. Health education plays an important role in improving adolescents' understanding of this disease. This study aims to analyze the effect of health education on increasing adolescent knowledge about HIV/AIDS in the working area of the Benteng Karang Health Center. Methods: This study uses a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. A total of 30 teenagers from the Tunas Gospel Message, Sunday School (SM-TPI) of the Benteng Karang Congregation were selected as respondents through a total sampling technique. Health education is provided in the form of counseling, and data is collected using pre-test and post-test questionnaires. Data analysis was carried out with the Wilcoxon test to measure changes in knowledge levels before and after the intervention. Results: Before counseling, 30% of adolescents had good knowledge, 40% enough, and 30% less. After counseling, the number of adolescents with good knowledge increased to 53.3%, 29.2% moderately, and 18.8% less. Statistical analysis showed an increase in the median knowledge score from 6 (IQR 5-7) to 9 (IQR 8-10) with the Wilcoxon test resulting in values of Z = -4.57 and p = 0.000 (p < 0.05), which showed a significant increase in knowledge level. Conclusion: Health education has been proven to be effective in increasing adolescents' knowledge about HIV/AIDS. These results emphasize the importance of continuous education programs to increase adolescents' awareness of HIV/AIDS prevention and control. Therefore, educational interventions through counseling methods need to be applied more widely to maximize their positive impact on society

Abstract

Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a viral infectious disease transmitted through the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito and often attacks children. DHF can cause serious complications, such as dengue shock and bleeding, which require prompt treatment in hospital. Method: This study aims to provide nursing care for children with DHF, especially in meeting fluid and electrolyte needs. This case study uses a descriptive method with an interview approach, observation, physical examination, and nursing process. The study was conducted on one pediatric patient with one diagnosis at Hative Ambon Hospital for three days, namely on April 5-7, 2024. Results: The results of the case study showed that the priority diagnosis in the child was fluid volume deficiency related to lack of fluid intake, characterized by complaints of nausea, vomiting twice at home, headache, nosebleed once, red spots on the right hand, and low fluid intake while in the hospital. In addition, the patient looked weak, had dry lip mucosa, and had a fever with a temperature of 38.9°C. Conclusion: Providing fluids to children with DHF is an effective method to prevent dehydration and reduce the risk of further complications. Therefore, close monitoring of fluid and electrolyte balance is essential in nursing care of DHF patients.

Abstract

Background: Pneumonia is one of the most common lung infections and a leading cause of death among children under five. One of the main causative agents is Streptococcus pneumoniae. Prevention of pneumonia can be carried out through simple interventions, particularly by parents, such as the implementation of clean and healthy living behaviors (PHBS). Methods: This study used a quantitative approach with a descriptive design. A total of 114 parents of toddlers aged 2–59 months who visited the MTBS (Integrated Management of Childhood Illness) polyclinic at Tawiri Community Health Center were selected using purposive sampling. Results: The results showed that more than half of the respondents (55.3%) did not practice proper handwashing with soap. Most of the children (98.2%) were exposed to poor household air quality, and the majority of respondents (93.9%) did not implement correct coughing etiquette. Conclusion: Pneumonia prevention efforts among toddlers aged 2–59 months at the MTBS polyclinic of Tawiri Community Health Center were not optimal. It is recommended that the health center intensify health education for parents and community health workers regarding pneumonia prevention in toddlers.

Abstract

Poliomyelitis (polio) is a highly infectious disease caused by the poliovirus and can lead to permanent paralysis. To address outbreaks of type 2 poliovirus, the Indonesian government implemented the National Immunization Week (PIN) using the novel Oral Polio Vaccine type 2 (nOPV2). This initiative aims to increase polio immunization coverage, particularly among children aged 0–7 years, who are most vulnerable to the disease. This activity was conducted in two sub-districts—Karang Panjang and Amantelu—through school visits and local health posts (posyandu). Each vaccinated child’s immunization card was updated, and families received counseling regarding the importance of polio vaccination. The campaign in the working area of Karpan Health Center, Ambon, reached 1,204 children, achieving 77.8% coverage. Community participation, especially among parents, was enthusiastic. Future efforts are expected to increase coverage to 100% through continued public engagement and education.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health concern in Indonesia, particularly among household contacts of pulmonary TB patients. This community outreach initiative was conducted in Amantelu Subdistrict, Sirimau District, Ambon City, with the objective of reducing TB transmission through targeted interventions. The program involved door-to-door health education, distribution of educational materials (posters and leaflets), and sputum sample collection from household contacts. The educational materials emphasized Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) as a strategy to prevent TB transmission. Based on field data, 9 suspected TB cases were identified in December 2024, with a contact screening coverage rate of 52.5%. Key barriers included low public awareness and insufficient collaboration between health workers and families. The program demonstrated that continuous health education and proper environmental conditions, such as ventilation and hygiene, are critical in TB prevention. Strengthening interpersonal communication between healthcare providers and communities is essential for improving TB control outcomes, especially in the post-pandemic era.

Abstract

Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) remain one of the most prevalent diseases in the work area of the Laimu Care Community Health Center. Many people tend to ignore early symptoms, contributing to the increased risk of transmission. Therefore, an effective health education strategy is essential to raise public awareness and promote preventive behaviors. This activity aimed to improve public knowledge and preventive behaviors related to ARI through structured health education in the Laimu Health Center area. The health education strategy was implemented with 20 respondents during working hours at the health center. Preparations included the development of educational media (leaflets), coordination with health center staff, and approval for activity implementation. The educational session consisted of lectures, interactive discussions, and Q&A on ARI symptoms, transmission, and prevention. The findings showed that respondents’ knowledge about ARI was generally good. Out of 10 questions, most participants answered correctly on nine items, with only one item (related to transmission sources) showing a lower correct response rate. The education program also reinforced the importance of clean and healthy lifestyle habits. According to health center data, ARI ranks third among the top ten diseases in the area. Health education through lectures and printed media has proven effective in improving public knowledge and awareness of ARI. Continued health promotion is recommended to further reduce the incidence and risk of ARI transmission within the community
