Abstract

Background: Pertussis is a respiratory disease caused by the bacteria Bordetella pertussis. In Semarang City, from 2022-2023, no cases of pertussis were found. On June 18, 2024, the Semarang City Health Office received a report of 2 pertussis suspects from the primary health center with complaints of coughing for two weeks accompanied by vomiting, and a "whoop" sound after taking a breath. The purpose of this epidemiological investigation is to comprehensively describe the incidence of pertussis in Semarang City in 2024 and prevent wider spread. Methods: The type of research in the investigation of pertussis incidents in Semarang City in 2024 is a descriptive case study. The population of this study were children aged 1 to 5 years who lived in the Karangpanas RW 1 Jatingaleh, Candisari, Semarang City. The sample of this study was children aged 1 to 5 years who were confirmed positive for pertussis. The variables studied were gender, history of coughing, vomiting, and DPT immunization. Data were collected through direct observation and interviews with parents/guardians. Data analysis is presented descriptively to determine the distribution of frequency of occurrence. Results: PCR results stated that both suspects were positive for Bordotella sp. bacteria. The highest attack rate value was respondents who did not have a history of DPT immunization. Conclusion: H and Y were confirmed as pertussis cases based on PCR examination. A history of never receiving DPT immunization was the cause of the highest attack rate in the pertussis incident in Semarang City in 2024.Keywords: Pertussis, immunization, children, Semarang.

Abstract

Background: Adherence to treatment is crucial for those with hypertension, particularly in order to avoid consequences. Although there is no treatment for hypertension, it must always be managed to prevent it from becoming worse and becoming a condition that can lead to death and disability.Methods: Studi case-control was used in this research. Patients with hypertension who had been diagnosed by a doctor in Nguter Sub-district constituted the study population. The total sample was 220 with a ratio 1:1. Accidental sampling was used in the sampling procedure according to the predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Questionnaires were used to collect data. The chi square test was used for bivariat, and logistic regression for multivariate analysis.Result: Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that there were three factors that had a significant impact on the level of non-adherence of hypertension patients in taking medication in the Nguter District area: a low motivation to seek treatment (p=0,000), a lack of support from family (p=0,009), and a lack of active role of health workers (p=0,042).Conclusion: Treatment motivation is the most influential factor on non-adherence to taking antihypertensive medication (p= 0,000; OR= 3,49; 95% CI= 1,81–6,73).

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia in 2023 reached 30.8%, but only 18.9% of cases were under control, still below the national target of 63%. In Kediri City, although the coverage of hypertension services reached 100%, only 33% of patients managed to control hypertension. This study aims to identify problems, determine priorities, analyze causes, and formulate alternative solutions for hypertension programs.Methods: This descriptive observational study was conducted from July 8 to August 2, 2024. The study subjects were 30 people consisting of staff of the Health Office, Puskesmas and health cadres in Kediri City. Data were collected through brainstorming, in-depth interviews, and document studies. Problem prioritization was conducted using Urgency, Seriousness, Growth (USG) method, root cause analysis using epidemiological model, and alternative solutions using CARL (Capability, Accessibility, Readiness, Leverage) methodResults: Prioritization with the USG method that has the highest score is the low achievement of controlled hypertension. In 2023, the achievement in Kediri City was 33% increasing to 48% in January-June 2024, but still below the national target of 90%. The South Region health center has the lowest achievement of 31.8%. The main causes are low patient participation in routine control, high workload of health workers, and lack of family support. Alternative solutions include routine socialization, family assistance, and monitoring of control schedules through WhatsApp groups.Conclusion: The Kediri City Health Service is expected to conduct socialization with family support assistance. Keywords: Controlled Hypertension, Kediri, Problem Analysis.

Abstract

Background: Malaria remains a public health challenge in eastern Indonesia, especially in remote areas like Manusa Village, where access to healthcare is limited. The community relies on traditional treatment using eye drops made from Kenar leaves (Kleinhovia hospita L.). The purpose of this study is to explore, from an epidemiological perspective, the use of Kenar leaves as a primary component in the formulation of traditional malaria remedies within the community of Manusa Village is lacking.Methods: This study employed a quantitative descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. Data were obtained through structured questionnaires and phytochemical analysis of Kenar leaves. A total of 102 respondents voluntarily participated in the study.Results: Among respondents from 102 respondents, 67,6% had experienced malaria, and 68,6% reported using Kenar leaf eye-drops. Use was significantly associated with prior malaria history (POR = 15,057; p < 0,001) and age group 26-45 years (POR = 17,813; p < 0,001). Conversely, respondents with current malaria symptoms were less likely to use the drops (POR = 0,042; p = 0,002). Twice-weekly use was associated with better recovery outcomes (POR = 0,168; p = 0,003). The majority (84,3%) reported mild side effects, such as transient eye irritation. Phytochemical analysis confirmed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, and tannins compounds with known antimalarial properties.Conclusion: This study provides new evidence linking traditional knowledge and community-based practices with malaria self-treatment, highlighting implications for health promotion strategies.

Abstract

Background: RS “X” Depok City recorded that around 13,054 people living with HIV (PLWHA) have accessed antiretroviral (ARV) services until 2025. However, until now there has been no research related to Lost to Follow Up (LTFU) in Depok City Hospital “X”. Research is needed to determine the determinants of the incidence of LTFU of ARV treatment, especially in HIV/AIDS patients at “X” Depok City Hospital.Methods: T This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The population in this study were all patients who had accessed ARV treatment services at “X” Hospital in Depok City in 2024. The sample in this study was 312 PLWHA obtained using simple random sampling technique. The dependent variable in this study was the incidence of LTFU, while the independent variables included age, gender, place of residence, referral origin, duration of ARV consumption and population group. Data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis with p<0.05 and 95% confidence level.Results: The results showed that 44.2% of HIV/AIDS patients at RS “X” Depok City experienced LTFU. The variables of residence and referral origin were significant predictors of the incidence of LTFU in HIV/AIDS patients at RSUD “X” Depok City.Conclusion: There needs to be assistance for HIV/AIDS patients who live in Depok City and HIV/AIDS patients who come alone without a referral so that they can continue to undergo ARV treatment continuously.Keywords: Antiretroviral, HIV, AIDS, Loss to Follow Up
