Abstract

Background: In Ambon, improving the quality of life of people with physical disabilities is still largely ignored by the local government and beyond. The gap is widening because they are stigmatized as “helpless”. This causes them to experience social discrimination and to be “othered”.  As a result, it is difficult to meet their financial needs and this affects how they access food.Methods: This research uses a qualitative method conducted on the people of Ambon City from February - April 2021. Data collection techniques used observation and in-depth interviews.Results: I interviewed seven male participants based on their experiences to look at the relationship between “disabled bodies” and food miles and how the two can be intertwined. Physical geographical constraints and unfriendly constructions for people with disabilities are barriers for them to reach food destinations. On the other hand, income insecurity also makes it more difficult for them to obtain good and safe food. However, this does not mean that they have no power. To reduce the inequality of food access, they do gardening or borrow money from relatives.Conclusion: The results of this study can inform that the local government's concern is not enough to help people with physical disabilities in accessing food, but also requires support from the environment and the community.

Abstract

Background : Research on pregnant women with COVID-19 has shown an increased risk of preterm birth, raising significant concerns in maternal health due to prematurity being a leading cause of neonatal illness and death. These findings highlight the need for further investigation, particularly in primary health care settings, to better understand the impact of COVID-19 on pregnancy. This study focuses on analyzing the heightened risk of prematurity in pregnant women infected with COVID-19.Methods: This descriptive observational study with a case-control approach was conducted at the Pringsewu District Health Center, Lampung, from January-February 2023. A total of 180 samples were selected using the Lemeshow formula and divided into exposed and unexposed groups. Data were collected through questionnaires, medical records, pregnancy cohort books, and maternal and child health books. Analysis included univariate frequency distribution, bivariate chi-square test, and multivariate logistic regression methods.Results : Pregnant women who were infected with COVID-19 had a 2.27 times increased risk of preterm birth (OR = 2.27; 95% CI = 1.19-4.33) compared to those who were not infected. After controlling for <4 antenatal visits and underweight gain, pregnant women with a history of COVID-19 infection still had a 2.21 times higher risk of prematurity compared to uninfected pregnant womenConclusion : There is an increased risk of delivering premature births in pregnant women who are infected with COVID 19, even after controlling for the factors of antenatal care and weight gain during pregnancy.Keywords : Antenatal Care; COVID 19; Pregnancy; Premature.

Abstract

Background: A food poisoning incident occurred on Saturday, February 24, 2024, during a religious gathering in Kecapit Hamlet, Wulungsari Village, Selomerto Sub-district, with a total of 44 cases. The objective of this investigation was to identify the source of the outbreak and the risk factors associated with the food poisoning incident.Methods: Food poisoning was defined as a condition in individuals experiencing illness with symptoms and signs of poisoning caused by consuming food suspected of containing biological or chemical contaminants. An outbreak investigation using a cross-sectional study design was conducted. Research questionnaires were used to collect data on risk factors as well as signs and symptoms. A total of 58 individuals who attended the event were included as samples. These factors were analyzed descriptively, and attack rates were calculated for each factor. Fecal samples from clinically ill cases were collected for laboratory testing.Results and Discussion: Out of the 58 individuals, 44 experienced symptoms of diarrhea >3 times (72.4%), abdominal cramps (69%), fever (62.1%), vomiting (22.4%), and nausea (58.4%). More cases were detected in males (52%) with an age range of 5-81 years (average 41.7 years). The incubation period ranged from 6-15 hours (average 11.41 hours). The investigation results indicated that individuals who consumed durian coconut syrup became ill (44/58; Attack Rate 93.6%). Stool laboratory test results showed positive for Salmonella. However, laboratory testing for the durian coconut syrup was not conducted in this study due to the unavailability of samples.Conclusion: Based on the findings of the investigation, it can be concluded that the cause of the food poisoning was durian coconut syrup contaminated with Salmonella bacteria. This contamination may have occurred because the food spoiled as it was prepared at 8:00 AM and served in the afternoon (3:00 PM).

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis remains a significant global public health challenge. Indonesia ranks second in the world for TB prevalence. In Kediri City, while CDR-TB and CNR-TB meet targets, TB enrollment remains inadequate, highlighting obstacles in accessing health services. This study aims to determine priorities, identify causes, and propose alternative solutions for the TB program. Additionally, it describes TB enrollment trends from 2021-2023 and January-June 2024 in Kediri City.Methods: This descriptive observational study was conducted at the Kediri City Health Office from July 8-August 2, 2024, involving 28 informants. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews and document analysis. Priorities were determined with the USG method, causes were analyzed using the web of causation, and alternative solutions were developed using the CARL method.Results: The results of the analysis show that TB enrollment rates in Kediri City have significantly decreased each year, with rates of 82.9% in 2021, 79.8% in 2022, and 72.6% in 2023. In 2024, the highest rate was 75.5% in February, and the lowest was 57.9% in April. Factors contributing to this decline include suboptimal coordination between health facilities, limited human resources, high public stigma towards TB, and patient absenteeism.Conclusions: The low TB enrollment rate in Kediri City is a priority issue. Recommendations include routine SITB monitoring, educational efforts to reduce TB stigma, improved coordination with private practitioners via WhatsApp groups, regular meetings, home visits, and increasing the number of competent staff for counseling, case finding, and patient support.
