Abstract

Health education on oral hygiene plays a crucial role in preventing dental problems, particularly caries, among children. In Indonesia, the prevalence of caries in primary school students remains high, largely due to inadequate understanding of proper oral hygiene practices. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of oral hygiene health education on reducing caries risk in elementary school children. An experimental pretest–posttest design was conducted involving 55 students from SD Negeri 15 Anduring Padang. Data were collected using questionnaires and direct assessments of oral hygiene status and dental caries before and after the health education intervention. Statistical analysis using paired t-tests was applied to determine differences in oral hygiene scores and caries risk following the intervention. The findings demonstrated significant improvements in students’ knowledge and oral hygiene behaviors, accompanied by a substantial decrease in caries risk. The p-value of 0.000 indicated that the educational intervention had a strong positive effect on reducing caries risk. These results emphasize the importance of integrating structured oral hygiene education into the school curriculum and involving both teachers and health professionals in routinely providing information, demonstrations of correct brushing techniques, and guidance on dental health maintenance. Long-term implementation and periodic evaluation of such programs are essential to achieve optimal outcomes and ensure sustainability. In conclusion, health education on oral hygiene effectively reduces caries risk in children and should be consistently implemented as part of routine health promotion activities in primary schools.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the resilience of health systems in responding to Public Health Emergencies of International Concern (PHEIC) and to identify key determinants influencing system capacity. A mixed methods approach with an explanatory sequential design was employed, integrating quantitative and qualitative analyses. Quantitative data were derived from secondary sources covering six health system building blocks and analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired tests, and regression analysis. A composite resilience index was also developed. Qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews with key stakeholders and analyzed thematically to contextualize quantitative findings. The results indicate a significant decline in overall system resilience during the PHEIC phase (MD = 11.30; p < 0.001), with the largest reductions observed in health service delivery and workforce capacity. Essential health services experienced substantial disruption, particularly in chronic disease care and immunization. Post-PHEIC analysis shows a significant recovery (MD = 16.80; p < 0.001), driven mainly by improvements in health information systems and medical technology. However, workforce and service delivery components did not fully recover to pre-crisis levels. The study concludes that sustainable health system resilience requires a balanced strategy integrating absorptive, adaptive, and transformative capacities, with equal emphasis on technological advancement and human resource strengthening to ensure long-term system stability.

Abstract

The emergence of new infectious diseases and increasing zoonotic risks in recent decades pose serious challenges to health systems, particularly in countries with high ecological diversity and intense human-animal interactions. Global environmental changes, urban expansion, and rising human mobility amplify interspecies pathogen transmission potential. This study aims to analyze health system preparedness levels against new infectious diseases and zoonotic threats, and identify influencing factors. The research employs a mixed methods approach with a sequential explanatory design, combining quantitative and qualitative analysis. Quantitative data were gathered from surveys of 120 respondents from health institutions, laboratories, and related agencies, analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression to test the influence of managerial capacity, One Health integration, policy support, resource availability, and ecological risk management on health system preparedness. Qualitative analysis involved in-depth interviews to reinforce statistical interpretations. Results indicate health system preparedness at a sufficient level (mean = 3.40). The regression model is simultaneously significant (R² = 0.610; p < 0.001), explaining 61% of preparedness variation by the model variables. Managerial capacity and ecological risk management are the most influential factors. Qualitative findings highlight cross-sector coordination, funding limitations, and integration of epidemiological and environmental data as primary barriers to implementing health system preparedness.
