Abstract

Background : Passenger ships play an essential role in transportation across eastern Indonesia. However, poor sanitation and hygiene conditions onboard can increase the risk of environmental disease transmission, especially in confined spaces with limited air circulation and clean water supply. Objective : This study aimed to describe the sanitation quality of decks and passenger cabins on passenger ships arriving and departing from Samarinda Port, East Kalimantan. Research Methods/ Implementation Methods : This research used a quantitative descriptive method with an observational approach. The study was conducted on three passenger ships KM. Aditya, KM. Prince Soya, and KM. Queen Soya. The observed variables included deck sanitation and passenger cabin sanitation using a ship sanitation observation checklist. Data were collected twice, during ship arrival and before departure, and analyzed univariately to determine the frequency distribution of sanitation conditions. Results : The results showed that upon arrival, only one ship (33.3%) met the deck sanitation requirements, while two ships (66.7%) did not. All ships (100%) failed to meet sanitation standards for passenger cabins. However, before departure, all ships (100%) complied with sanitation requirements for both decks and passenger cabins. This indicates a significant improvement after routine cleaning was conducted prior to departure. Conclusion/Lesson Learned : The sanitation conditions of passenger ships at Samarinda Port remain inadequate upon arrival but improve after pre-departure cleaning. Continuous supervision, daily maintenance, and routine inspections are necessary to maintain ship hygiene and prevent disease transmission in the ship environment.

Abstract

Adsorbents are porous solids that can bind and absorb substances from liquids or gases, serving to remove contaminants. Adsorbents are classified into porous and non-porous types (Dewi & Sa’diyah, 2024). Clay minerals such as kaolinite, montmorillonite, and bentonite are highly potential as natural adsorbent media for reducing pathogenic microorganisms in domestic wastewater. Clay also acts as a mechanical filtration medium that traps bacteria, viruses, or protozoa as wastewater passes through, and the use of physical or chemical activation can reduce the content of pathogenic microbes by more than 90% (Sedionoto et al., 2022). Assessing cation exchange capacity and clay content is very important for research on the use of clay in liquid domestic waste treatment. The purpose of this study was to determine the cation exchange capacity parameters of coal mine exploration waste soil in adsorbing E. coli pathogenic microbes. This study is a laboratory experiment aimed at analyzing the physical and chemical quality of coal mine exploration waste soil in its ability to reduce E. coli pathogenic microbes. The study was conducted during September-October 2025. The research samples were coal mine exploration waste soils in the Samarinda City area of East Kalimantan, originating from depths of 1 meter and 2 meters below the soil surface. The results showed that coal mine exploration waste soil at a depth of 1 meter had a cation exchange capacity of 24.33 meq/100 g, while coal mine exploration waste soil at a depth of 2 meters had a cation exchange capacity of 31.79 meq/100 g. The clay parameter value obtained at a depth of 1 meter was 21%, while at a depth of 2 meters, the clay value was 13%. Based on the analysis results, the soil texture at a depth of 1 meter was classified as loam, while the soil texture at a depth of 2 meters was classified as silt. In general, coal mine exploration waste soil from a depth of 2 meters shows a higher CEC than that from a depth of 1 meter, even though the clay content is lower. Based on the analyzed physical parameters of the soil, the depth of 1 meter (loam) has a higher proportion of clay, while the depth of 2 meters (silt) has a lower proportion of clay. This data can be used as a basis for further experiments to examine the reduction capacity of E. coli pathogenic microbes, with the potential for differences in adsorption capacity between the two depths related to differences in CEC and soil texture.

Abstract

Ships serve as major sea transportation modes and have the potential to act as a medium for disease transmission. Proper ship sanitation is therefore essential to prevent the spread of diseases onboard, particularly those transmitted through clean water. Global data on ship sanitation in Indonesia remains limited, as does research investigating the relationship between sanitation and microbiological quality This study aims to evaluate sanitation levels on foreign vessels and analyze their implications for the microbiological quality of clean water within the working area of the Class I Port Health Office (Balai Kekarantinaan Kesehatan) in Samarinda. The findings are expected to support quarantine policy improvement and supervision. This quantitative analytical study used a cross-sectional design and was conducted from September to October 2025. The sample consisted of 20 foreign vessels docking at PT Kaltim Prima Coal Port, Sangatta, that met the inclusion criteria. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis and Fisher’s Exact Test. The findings showed that 20% (4 vessels) did not meet sanitation standards, and 10% (2 vessels) did not meet microbiological water quality requirements. A significant association was found between sanitation quality and the microbiological quality of onboard water supplies (P = 0.032). Ship sanitation conditions significantly affect the microbiological quality of clean water on foreign vessels. Routine monitoring and improved compliance with international sanitation standards are necessary to reduce the risk of cross-border disease transmission.

Abstract

Objective : This review aims to synthesize evidence narratively regarding the relationship between physical environmental , sociodemographic, and biological factors and the incidence of dengue fever in children aged 0-<15 years. Research Methods/ Implementation Methods : This narrative review was conducted by searching articles in the PubMed and Google Scholar databases from 2016 to 2025. The main keywords used included "Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever," "Physical Environment," "Sociodemographics," and "Biology." The criteria for articles were exposure to physical, sociodemographic, and biological environmental factors associated with the outcome of DHF in children. Other criteria were that articles were written in Indonesian or English and were full-text articles. After screening based on these criteria, 34 research articles were selected for narrative analysis. Results : The results of a literature review of 34 articles analyzed consistently indicate that physical, sociodemographic, and biological environmental factors have a significant influence on the increase in the incidence of dengue fever. The majority of studies reported an increase in the incidence of dengue fever measured in the assessment of physical, sociodemographic, and biological environmental factors. Good physical environmental management, interventions in sociodemographic factors, and effective and efficient control of biological factors can help reduce the incidence and mortality due to dengue fever. Conclusion/Lesson Learned : Physical, sociodemographic, and biological environmental factors are associated with dengue fever incidence in children. These findings recommend enhancing promotional and preventive efforts by increasing collaboration with Jumantik (Family Disaster Mitigation Team) cadres and other cross-sectoral organizations to optimize efforts to reduce dengue fever incidence.

Abstract

Background :Drug logistics management is a crucial component in ensuring the quality of hospital health services. The effectiveness of drug logistics management which includes planning, procurement, storage, distribution, and control directly affects drug availability and patient satisfaction. This study aims to analyze the implementation of drug logistics management at the Pharmacy Installation of Kerang Regional General Hospital (RSUD Kerang), Paser Regency, and to determine its relationship with patient satisfaction levels. Objective : The research aims to analyze the pharmaceutical logistics management at the Pharmacy Department of Kerang Regional General Hospital, Paser Regency, and to examine its relationship with patient satisfaction Research Methods/ Implementation Methods : This research employed a mixed methods approach with a sequential explanatory design, combining qualitative and quantitative methods. Qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews with pharmaceutical management staff, while quantitative data were obtained from questionnaires distributed to 100 patients using pharmacy services. Quantitative data were analyzed using Chi-Square and multiple logistic regression tests at a 95% confidence level. Results : The results showed that the overall implementation of drug logistics management at RSUD Kerang was in the “moderately good” category, with procurement being the highest-performing aspect. The Chi-Square test revealed that only the variables of drug procurement (p = 0.011) and drug distribution (p = 0.085) had a significant relationship with patient satisfaction, whereas planning, storage, and control did not show significant effects. Multiple logistic regression analysis identified drug procurement as the most influential factor on patient satisfaction with an Exp(B) value of 3.47, followed by drug distribution with an Exp(B) value of 2.44. Conclusion/Lesson Learned : In conclusion, effective procurement and distribution of drugs are the key determinants in improving patient satisfaction with pharmacy services. It is recommended that RSUD Kerang strengthen data-based drug planning systems, accelerate procurement and distribution processes through digitalization, and enhance the competence of pharmaceutical human resources.

Abstract

Background : Escherichia coli presence in animal-derived foods serves as a crucial indicator of hygiene and sanitation standards throughout handling, storage, and distribution. Frozen beef distributed to consumers risks contamination when food safety controls, particularly cold chain maintenance, are inconsistently implemented. This study assessed E. coli contamination levels in frozen beef marketed in Balikpapan City and evaluated compliance with the Maximum Contaminant Limit (MCL) under SNI 7388:2009. Objective : This study aimed to assess the contamination level of E. coli in frozen beef marketed in Balikpapan City and to evaluate its compliance with the Maximum Contamination Limit (MCL) established by SNI 7388:2009. Research Methods/ Implementation Methods : A quantitative descriptive design with a laboratory testing approach was used. A total of 65 frozen beef samples were collected from modern retail outlets, slaughterhouses (RPH), and cold storage facilities. Laboratory examination was conducted through isolation, identification, and colony counting stages using standard microbiological method. The results were analyzed descriptively and compared with the MCL standards specified in SNI 7388:2009. Results : Analysis revealed that 55 samples (84.62%) contained E. coli levels below 1 × 102 CFU/g, complying with MCL requirements. However, 10 samples (15.38%) exceeded this limit, indicating non-compliance with food safety standards. These findings suggest potential contamination during post-slaughter handling, storage, or distribution phases, likely due to inadequate cold chain maintenance. Conclusion/Lesson Learned : In conclusion, the majority of frozen beef circulating in Balikpapan is considered safe for consumption; however, strengthening sanitation practices and ensuring strict cold chain management are recommended to minimize potential public health risks.

Abstract

Background: The increasing incidence of infections caused by antimicrobial-resistant bacteria has become a serious public health problem in Indonesia; however, data on resistance patterns in Kalimantan Timur, particularly Samarinda, remain limited. Objective: This study aimed to describe the antimicrobial resistance patterns of clinical bacterial isolates examined at the East Kalimantan Provincial Health Laboratory in 2024. Methods: This study employed a descriptive observational design using secondary data from culture and antibiotic susceptibility testing results of 201 clinical bacterial isolates collected from January to December 2024. Data were analyzed descriptively through tabulation and percentage distribution. Results: Among all positive isolates (n = 201), 54.4% were Gram-negative and 45.6% were Gram positive bacteria. The most frequently identified bacteria were Escherichia coli (24.4%), followed by Staphylococcus haemolyticus (7.0%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (7.0%). Susceptibility testing revealed that E. coli showed high sensitivity to meropenem (98%) and amikacin (100%), whereas Staphylococcus aureus exhibited 30.8% resistance to oxacillin, indicating the presence of methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA). The predominant resistance mechanisms detected included β-lactamase production (21.7%), extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL, 40.6%), and MRSA (37.7%). Conclusion: Antimicrobial resistance based on bacterial isolates examined at the East Kalimantan Provincial Health Laboratory demonstrated a wide variation in antibiotic susceptibility patterns. These findings provide an initial overview of resistance conditions in Samarinda and can serve as a foundation for the implementation of continuous antimicrobial resistance surveillance.
