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.
