Abstract

Climate change is one of the biggest global challenges of the 21st century with far-reaching impacts on various sectors, including public health. This research aims to study how climate change affects the spread of infectious diseases in urban environments, with an emphasis on environmental and behavioural factors that influence the spread of disease. The quantitative method used in this study is descriptive-analytic design. Descriptive research is used to describe the phenomenon of the spread of infectious diseases in urban environments associated with climate change components such as air temperature, rainfall, and humidity. Over five years, the incidence rate of dengue fever in West Sumatra has fluctuated and continued to increase. As shown, the rainfall pattern is changing and increasing. The picture shows a trend of increasing rainfall along with an increase in the number of dengue cases. However, there is a time difference, or time lag, between the increase in cases. Every region should have an early warning system for extraordinary dengue events. As climatic factors change, environmental improvements are also needed along with changes in other factors such as behaviour and health services.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between lifestyle and the incidence of hypertension in health workers and provide evidence-based recommendations that can be used in efforts to prevent and manage hypertension among medical personnel. Methods. This cross-sectional study involved 200 health workers working in hospitals and health care centres, with samples selected using purposive sampling technique based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire covering aspects of lifestyle, such as diet, physical activity, smoking habits, alcohol consumption, stress levels, and sleep quality. The data were analysed statistically using the chi-square test and logistic regression. Results. The results showed that unhealthy diet was the main risk factor, with 70% of health workers with poor diet having hypertension. Smoking habit showed a very strong association with hypertension (p=0.000), with 80% of smokers identified as having this condition. A total of 85% of individuals who consumed alcohol had hypertension, and 80% had poor sleep quality, which was significantly associated with high workloads and unhealthy lifestyles. Conclusion. This study confirms that although health workers have a good understanding of the hypertension risk factors, excessive workloads, unhealthy lifestyle, and low sleep quality remain major obstacles in the prevention of the development and management of the disease.

Abstract

The present study aims to investigate the impact of community service based on environmental education on increasing environmental awareness among Indonesian youth. The present study employed a descriptive quantitative approach, utilising a pre-experimental design of a single group, pretest-posttest type. These coding techniques were employed to identify narrative patterns, group dynamics and the supporting and inhibiting factors that emerged during the learning process. The descriptive analysis demonstrated a significant increase in all indicators of environmental awareness following the implementation of the community service-based education programme, including participants' knowledge, attitudes, behaviours, and self-efficacy. Furthermore, a significant increase in attitudes was observed, from an initial score of 68.2 to a post-intervention score of 86.7. These results underscore the significance of programme design that integrates critical learning theory, transformative approaches, and community participation in fostering a generation that is aware of, concerned about, and actively engaged in environmental sustainability. It is hoped that this initiative will set a precedent for sustainable community service and make a meaningful contribution to the development of a future-oriented environmental agenda.

Abstract

Aging is a natural process characterized by a decrease in physical, psychological and social functions, which often affects the independence of the elderly in carrying out daily activities. One of the efforts to maintain the independence of the elderly is through regular and appropriate physical activities, such as elderly Gymnastics. Purpose: this study aims to determine the effect of elderly Gymnastics on the level of independence in daily activities in the elderly in the community. Methods: this study uses quantitative design with quasi-experiment pretest-posttest approach. Samples of 30 elderly were taken by purposive sampling from an elderly community in the working area of Ambacang Padang Health Center. Intervention in the form of elderly Gymnastics is carried out for 4 weeks with a frequency of 3 times a week. Data were collected using the ADL (Activities of Daily Living) instrument and analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Results: the results showed a significant increase in the elderly independence score after participating in gymnastics (p = 0.001). Before the intervention, most of the elderly were at a mild to moderate level of dependence, while after the intervention, the majority showed complete independence in carrying out daily activities such as bathing, dressing, eating, to walking. Implications: elderly Gymnastics is an effective, easy-to-perform, and routinely feasible intervention in public health programs to support the quality of life and independence of the elderly.

Abstract

Dysmenorrhea, or menstrual pain, is common among adolescents, with global prevalence rates reaching 59.7% to 92%. This pain, affecting the lower abdomen, back, and groin, usually begins 24 hours before menstruation and can last up to three days. Management includes pharmacological options like NSAIDs and analgesics, as well as non-pharmacological approaches. Pilates exercise is a practical, non-drug option shown to reduce menstrual pain by stimulating endorphin production, providing a natural sense of relief and comfort. Purposes : The goal of this study is to ascertain whether Pilates exercises can help adolescents who are experiencing menstrual pain. Methods : The design of this study is a literature review. Search for published articles on Google Scholar, Pubmed and GARUDA with the keywords "Pilates Exercise", "Dysminorhea / Menstrual pain". Of the three databases found 446 articles, executed as many as 432 because they did not match the research variables so that 9 articles were obtained to be read in full and 5 articles were found that met the criteria. Results: The results of the literature review of 5 literature studies conducted stated that there was an effect of pilates exercise on reducing menstrual pain in adolescents. Implications : Pilates exercise can be an effective and safe non-pharmacological treatment alternative to reduce menstrual pain in adolescent girls. Conclusion : It is hoped that pilates exercises can be recommended as an effective method in efforts to reduce menstrual pain in adolescents.
