Abstract

Introduction: Acute Upper respiratory tract infection was the highest case among the other diseases in Sukorejo Primary Healthcare Center, Pacitan Regency. Health protocol policies have an impact on healthy living behavior, which can prevent COVID-19 and acute upper respiratory infection (non-COVID-19). Rumors in the community stated that all acute upper respiratory infections had been tested for COVID-19, and were declared positive for COVID-19. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with acute upper respiratory tract infections (non-COVID-19).Methods: This study was conducted in an analytic observational method with a case-control study design. There were 61 subjects in the case and 61 subjects aged 26-65 years in the control groups. Sampling was done by simple random sampling for the case and purposive sampling for the control group. Data were analyzed by chi-square tests and logistic regression models.Results: Based on bivariate analysis, the inappropriate use of masks, smoking, inappropriate hand washing habits, high density on room occupancy, and inappropriate house ventilation area were the risk factors of acute upper respiratory tract infections (non-COVID-19). After controlling for the other variables, smoking habits (OR=2.723; 95%Cl=1.216-6.098; p=0.015), inappropriate house ventilation area (OR=2.569; 95%Cl=1.149-5.743; p=0.022), high density in room occupancy density (OR=2.425; 95%Cl=1.087-5.410; p =0.031) and the inappropriate use of masks (OR=2.320; 95%Cl=1.021-5.173; p=0.045) were the risk factors of acute upper respiratory tract infection (non-COVID-19) incidence.Conclusion: The risk factors of acute upper respiratory tract infection (non-COVID-19) incidence were smoking habits, inappropriate house ventilation, high density in room occupancy and the inappropriate use of masks

Abstract

Introduction: Aedes aegypti is the main dengue vector in Indonesia. One of the dengue controls is through insecticides use. The plant-based insecticide is one alternative that can be used to minimize the impact of chemical insecticides. Ocimum basilicum is one of the plants that have the potency to be used as insecticides. The aims of this study were to analyze the insecticide activity of Ocimum basilicum essential oil against Aedes aegypti as well as its Lethal Concentration (LC50 and LC90) and Knockdown Time ( KT50 and KT90).Methods: Treatment groups were given Ocimum basilicum essential oil of 100 ppm, 50 ppm, and 25 ppm. The tests were performed four times with 10 mosquitoes per test.Results: The mortality rate of the mosquito on the extract with a concentration of 100 ppm was 100%, 50 ppm was 10% and 25 ppm was 0% and the value of LC50 = 62.9 ppm and LC90 = 78.7 ppm. KT50 of this study was 19.4 minutes and KT90 was 8.07 minutes.Conclusion: Ocimum basilicum essential oil has a mosquitocidal effect on Aedes aegypti. Further studies to investigate the substances of Ocimum basilicum against Aedes aegypti are needed.

Abstract

Introduction: Inadequate intake of energy and macronutrients causes a decrease in an individual's ability to carry out his work activities and makes him feel tired or tired more easily. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between energy adequacy level (EAL) and protein adequacy level (PAL) as well as the percentage of carbohydrate intake and the percentage of fat intake with the fatigue level of female workers.Methods: This research is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. The population in this study were 67 female workers at the Bandarharjo Fish Smoking Center, Semarang City. Research subjects were selected by purposive sampling of 40 subjects, based on inclusion criteria. EAL, PAL data were collected, as well as the percentage of carbohydrate and fat intake obtained through interviews using a 2x24 hour food recall form. Data analysis was performed by Pearson Product Moment correlation test on normally distributed data and Ranks Spearman correlation test on non-normally distributed data.Results: The results showed that the average EAL was 86,6 (±26,3)% energy requirement/day, PAL was 64,5 (±23,5)% protein requirement/day, the percentage of carbohydrate intake was 51,5 (±7,6)% energy intake/day, and the percentage of fat intake was 34,7 (±8,6)% energy intake/day, and the level of work fatigue with an average reaction time of 429,7 (±121,9) milliseconds. There was no relationship between EAL (r=0,127 and p=0,435), PAL (r=0,159 and p=0,327), percentage of carbohydrate intake (r=0,036 and p=0,825), and percentage of fat intake (r=-0,088 and p = 0,590) with the level of work fatigue.Conclusion: It can be concluded that there is no relationship between EAL, PAL, and the percentage of carbohydrate and fat intake with the level of work fatigue in female workers in the Bandarharjo Fish Smoking Center, Semarang City.

Abstract

Introduction: Declining the rates of smoking among the poor still becomes a challenge for the health sector. Ideally, they can use the money for smoking to pay for their family health insurance premium. This research aimed to analyze how the poor in the informal sector perceived the payment of National Health Insurance (NHI/ JKN) using the cigarette cost.Methods: Data were collected from focus group discussions (FGD) in three different locations, Deli Serdang, Sumedang Districts and Medan City. Thirty-three informal sector workers with low financial capabilities participated in these FGDs. Health Belief Model was used as the framework for analyzing the data and information. Data analysis was conducted through the content analysis method.Results: The finding showed that poor people who work in the informal sector gave two different responses regarding the use of cigarette costs for paying the NHI/JKN program premium. The respondents had already an excellent perceived susceptibility and severity both on smoking habits and their low finance condition. They believed that the NHI/JKN benefit was to protect them financially if their family members need medical treatment. However, they had low self-efficacy and high perceived barriers that hinder them from replacing the money for buying cigarettes into paying for NHI/JKN premium.Conclusion: An approach to the poor people in the informal sector within their local context, is urgently needed to increase their health insurance literacy and knowledge about smoking.
