Abstract

Laboratory tests are used to help diagnose diseases. One of them is the examination of triglyceride levels which is generally performed on obese patients who have a history of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and hypertension. The most commonly used equipment for examining triglycerides are uv-vis spectrophotometers and photometers. The difference between a UV-vis spectrophotometer and a photometer lies in the monochromator. The photometer does not have a monochromator, however the UV-vis spectrophotometer has a monochromator, that functions to eliminate unwanted wavelengths of light components that are not needed for the examination, making it more selective. This study aims to determine the differences in the results of triglyceride level examinations using a UV-vis spectrophotometer and a photometer. This study was a descriptive-analytical study with a cross-sectional approach. The results showed a sig value (2-tailed) of 0.112> 0.05, which means that there is no significant difference in the results of triglyceride examinations with a UV-vis spectrophotometer and a photometer in obese students at Universitas 'Aisyiyah Yogyakarta. Medical Laboratory Technologists are required to regularly and consistently conduct quality control in order to ensure the accuracy and reliability of test results.

Abstract

Indonesia has the largest number of smokers in the world, ranking third after India and China. Pregnant women have an important role as they are caregivers and can influence their husbands to quit smoking. Indonesia has the third largest number of smokers in the world, with 33.5% of the Indonesian population smoking, posing health risks. Family support is needed in smoking cessation efforts, especially for fathers or husbands. The purpose of this study was to conduct a reliability test analysis and establish validity must be done to ensure the instrument provides accurate and consistent results. This research design is a cross-sectional survey study or data collection at one time to test the validity and reliability of the research questionnaire with the title Participation of Pregnant Mothers in the Efforts of Fathers to Stop Smoking to Prevent Stunting through the Health Belief Model Approach. The validity-reliability study was conducted on pregnant women at the Palaran Community Health Center in Samarinda City, Indonesia, which was conducted in September 2024 in a group of pregnant women who had smoking husbands as many as 30 respondents. The findings of this study revealed that the validity values obtained varied between a minumum of 0.001 and a maximum of 0.97. In addition, the reliability of the seven variables was assessed using Cronbach's alpa coefficient, which yielded values above 0.7. Therefore, this tool can be a valuable tool to measure the participation behavior of pregnant women in efforts to help their husbands stop smoking for stunting prevention.

Abstract

Breast milk (ASI) is the most perfect source of nutrition for infants, containing essential nutrients and antibodies necessary for growth and development. According to WHO, the global rate of exclusive breastfeeding for infants aged 0–6 months is 41%, which remains below the Global Nutrition Target of 50% by 2025 and 70% by 2030. In Indonesia, the exclusive breastfeeding coverage in 2023 was 67.74%, yet in Semarang Regency, it was only 41.4%. This study aims to identify the factors influencing mothers' decisions to provide exclusive breastfeeding in Semarang Regency. A quantitative method with a cross-sectional design and purposive sampling technique was used. Data analysis included univariate (frequency distribution), bivariate (chi-square test), and multivariate (linear regression). The findings indicate that decision-making is influenced by the Health Belief Model, Theory of Planned Behavior (attitude, subjective norm, perceived control), and Social Cognitive Theory. Of the respondents, 43.8% were working mothers, 76.8% had moderate education, and 51.7% had a positive attitude toward exclusive breastfeeding. High husband support (56.3%) showed the strongest correlation (r = 0.466). Knowledge and income also played important roles. Education programs involving husbands are recommended to enhance the success of exclusive breastfeeding.

Abstract

Pesticides can be toxic and disrupt the ecosystem if used for long periods in high doses. High toxicity due to intensive pesticide exposure will affect heme biosynthesis. Oxygen is carried by red blood cells that contain Fe2+ ions bound to hemoglobin. Exposure to toxic pesticides will cause Fe2+ ions to oxidize to Fe3+, resulting in hemoglobin changing into Methemoglobin (MetHb). This causes Hb to be unable to bind with oxygen, resulting in anemia. Methemoglobin measurement is important for farmers because they are at high risk. This measurement can also be used for early detection, prevention of complications, and evaluation of pesticide exposure. This study aims to determine MetHb levels in farmers intensively exposed to pesticides. This study used a cross-sectional design with a stratified sampling technique. This study used 50 farmers who were directly exposed to pesticides. The sample used was a 3cc venous blood sample taken using a syringe. The blood sample was then measured for MetHemoglobin levels using a spectrophotometer. This research was conducted in two villages, namely Kalukubula Village and Lolu Village. In Kalukubula Village, the average MetHemoglobin level was 6.53%, with the lowest level being 2.95% and the highest level being 9.95%. In Lolu Village, the average MetHemoglobin level was 5.72%, with the lowest level being 1.80% and the highest level being 9.60%. Normal MetHemoglobin levels in humans range from 0-3%. MetHemoglobin levels in farmers in Sigi Biromaru mostly showed Asymptomatic Methemoglobin results, meaning that most farmers suffer from MetHemoglobin but do not show clinical symptoms.

Abstract

Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) is a major public health issue in Indonesia, particularly in slum areas with poor environmental conditions. Low hygiene awareness and unhealthy living environments contribute to the high incidence of ARI, especially in large urban areas like Palembang. This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional design and involved 100 purposively selected respondents in Seberang Ulu II District, Palembang City. Data were analyzed using chi-square tests for bivariate analysis and logistic regression for multivariate analysis. The results indicated that residential density (p=0.041) and waste burning (p=0.008; OR=3.156) were significantly associated with ARI incidence. Waste management was identified as the most dominant factor (p=0.021; OR=3.156), while other variables showed no significant association. These findings highlight that residential density and waste management are key determinants of ARI. Improving household sanitation and promoting clean living behaviors are essential preventive efforts in wetland urban settlements.

Abstract

Parents' negligence in carrying out their responsibilities can cause various problems such as lack of nutritional intake, recurrent infections such as diarrhea and worms, and other health problems that interfere with the growth of toddlers, so health management is needed so that the growth of toddlers remains optimal. To analyze whether there is a relationship between health management and toddler growth. This study used quantitative research with a correlation analytic design and cross sectional method, the population in this study were toddlers aged 7 to 59 months in the working area of Kalasan Health Center with a total of 97 respondents selected using purposive sampling technique consisting of parents of toddlers and cadres who are considered to have important information related to toddler growth and can communicate well. Respondents who were not willing and cadres who were not active in posyandu activities were not involved in the study. Univariate analysis was performed descriptively using frequency distribution, while bivariate analysis used the Chi-Square test. The results showed that 44 respondents (45.4%) were male and 53 respondents (54.6%) were female. A total of 49 toddlers (50.5%) had normal weight and 52 respondents (52.5%) showed effective health management. Chi-Square test results showed that 25 respondents (55.6%) with ineffective health management had impaired growth, with a p value = 0.266 (>0.005), meaning there was no statistically significant association. However, factors such as family income, mother's education, and mother's occupation are known to influence the effectiveness of health management.

Abstract

Stunting is a major health issue in Indonesia. In order to accelerate stunting reduction, the Indonesian government has mandated the formation of Family Assistance Team (FAT) at every village to assist stunting-risk families. FAT is the spearhead of stunting reduction at village level. Therefore, exploration of the role of FAT is a must to accelerate stunting reduction in Malaka Regency.  This study aimed to explore the role of FAT in Malaka Regency. This was a qualitative study, with case study approach, conducted in 2 villages of stunting focus location in Malaka Regency, Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia from July to September 2023. A total of 12 informants were selected for this study by purposive sampling. Data collected by a set of interview guide. Data analyzed by thematic analysis and qualitative data validate by member check and theoretical triangulation. Thematic analysis revealed three main themes: (1) TPK Activities, encompassing both core activities and collaborative efforts; (2) Supporting Factors, which include both monetary and non-monetary incentives; and (3) Inhibiting Factors, which consist of budget limitations, lack of awareness, inadequate facilities, insufficient monitoring, and limited understanding of stunting. Regular monitoring needs to be carried out to ensure the implementation of TPK at village level.
