Abstract

Abstract Background: Blondo landfill serves as a final processing site for waste and also a source of livelihood for scavengers. Scavengers are workers who are at risk of musculoskeletal disoders (MSDs) complaints due to heavy, repetitive physical work and poor work postures due to bending. During waste collection and sorting, waste pickers perform repetitive movements with non-ergonomic postures, away from the ideal body position. Based on data from Puskesmas Bawen, 45% of 73 waste pickers experienced muscle and joint pain. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between working posture and complaints of musculoskeletal disorders.Methods: This study was an observational analytic research in a cross sectional design. The population in this study were Blondo landfill waste pickers. The subjects were 65 waste pickers who were chosen through purposive sampling technique. Data collection was conducted through interviews using the Nordic Body Map questionnaire, digital camera and REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assessment) sheet. Data analysis were conducted using Spearman rank tests.Results: The results showed that of the 65 waste pickers, the majority were female (53.3%), aged > 35 years (93.8%), had a working period of more than 5 years (61.5%), and normal nutritional status (56.9%). Scavengers who have moderate risk work posture (81.5%) and moderate musculoskeletal disorders (84.6%). There was a positive correlation between working posture and MSDs with a moderate level (ρ=0.593; p=0.0001).Conclusion: Work postures that are formed away from the body's gravity which if done continuously and for a long period of time among waste pickers resulted in musculoskeletal disorders.

Abstract

Introduction: The role of quality service is important for health facilities to maintain their existence in the community, including Public Health Centers and Independent Midwife Practices that provide delivery services for pregnant women. Delivery services at health care facilities are one of the factors leading to the reduction of the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) and Infant Mortality Rate (IMR). This review was conducted to determine a comparative picture of the quality of delivery services at Independent Midwife Practices and Public Health Center.Methods: The study was conducted using a literature review approach of national journal articles retrieved from the Google Scholar database. The keywords used were quality of delivery services, quality of delivery services, patient satisfaction, Independent Midwife Practices, and Public Health Center. With a publishing range of no more than the last 5 years or from 2018-2023.Results: Five journals were eligible to be analyzed in relation to the quality of delivery services. The study showed that the quality of health services at the Independent Midwife Practices and Public Health Center is influenced by the factors of reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, and tangibles. Both the Independent Midwife Practice and the Public Health Center have good quality of service in childbirth.Conclusion: It is important to maintain the quality of childbirth services both at Independent Midwife Practices and at Public Health Center.

Abstract

AbstractIntroduction: Though global trends for maternal and newborn mortality have improved, the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on maternal and newborn health (MNH), increasing risk of complicated births. Indonesia’s Ministry of Health (IMOH) has made significant progress in expanding MNH services; however, challenges remain in improving screening for emergent threats (ET) to MNH, which includes emerging infectious diseases. This review aimed to compare antenatal care (ANC) standards in Indonesia to WHO guidelines and to evaluate the role of laboratory services and ultrasound (USG) for ANC.Methods: A narrative literature review was conducted through PubMed and Google Scholar. Articles were also found from the IMOH and the World Health Organization (WHO). Search terms included antenatal care, laboratory, ultrasound, and doppler, yielding sixteen articles in total. Nine articles published between 2010 and 2023 were included for review.Results: Compared to WHO standards of 8 ANC visits and 1 USG, Indonesia has a lower number of required ANC visits (6), but a higher requirement for USG visits (2); though, conflicting evidence exists for USG recommendations during pregnancy. One article evaluated standard laboratory tests administered during the first ANC visit, finding no records of testing at the puskesmas (primary healthcare center) level, while another cited improved infectious disease (ID) detection using screening questionnaires.Conclusion: In comparison to global standards, Indonesia may benefit from an increased number of ANC visits, ID screening in non-endemic areas, and studies on adherence to national screening guidelines. Further research is needed to evaluate the optimal timing of USG during the prenatal period.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction: Maternal mortality Rate (MMR) in Banyumas Regency, Indonesia fluctuates. In 2022, it was the highest in Central Java Province with 24 cases spread across 14 Puskesmas. The purpose of this study was to determine the risk factors affecting maternal mortality consisting of maternal education level, anemia status, nutritional status, and history of infectious diseases.Methods: This type of research was a case control study with a sample size of 24 cases and 48 controls. The sampling method was total sampling. Education level, infectious disease, anemia, and nutritional status were investigated. This study was conducted on July to September 2023 in Banyumas Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. Data were collected through interviews using structured questionnaires. Data were analyzed with chi square tests and logistic regression.Results: The results showed that factors that increase the risk of maternal mortality were having a history of infectious diseases (OR = 5.84; 95% CI = 1.46 - 23.33, p = 0.012) and maternal Chronic Energy Deficiency (OR = 3.98; 95% CI = 1.32 - 12.01, p = 0.014).Conclusion: The risk factors for maternal mortality were infectious diseases and maternal Chronic Energy Deficiency. Early detection of risk factors such as history of infectious disease and Chronic Energy Deficiency are needed so prevention efforts can be planned. The improvement of antenatal and postnatal care through increasing the quality of health workers by providing technical and non-technical skills, especially village midwives is very important.

Abstract

AbstractBackground: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major concern in the health sector of Indonesia, with more than one million patients. During the COVID-19 pandemic, DM patients have a risk of poor quality of life due to the high potential of fatality from COVID-19 infection or access barriers to health care and nutrition. This study aimed to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the quality of life of patients with diabetes.Methods: This quantitative study used a cross-sectional design. The sampling technique used was total sampling; that is, all members of the population were used as research samples. This research involved 95 patients with DM from 127 total population in Puskesmas Cilongok I. Data were collected through interviews with a guided questionnaire. The data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses.Results: The results of this study indicate that factors related to the quality of life of patients with DM have a pandemic economic impact (p = 0.011 and OR = 0.341), and factors that affect the quality of life of patients with DM have a pandemic economic impact (OR = 0.326). Factors related to poor diabetes patients include losting work, decreased partial or total income, and increased daily expenditure.Conclusion: We suggest that health agencies can help patients with DM restore their quality of life after being hardly affected by the pandemic in the economic aspect by designing a sustainable program for patients with DM.

Abstract

Introduction: Temefos as a larvicide to prevent dengue hemorrhagic fever is known to be resistant to Aedes aegypti larvae in several regions in Indonesia. Therefore, alternative larvicides are needed. Papaya plants are one of the alternative solutions as papaya flowers contain secondary metabolite compounds that can kill Aedes aegypti larvae. This study aimed to determine the potential of papaya flower extract to be an Aedes aegypti larvicide.Methods : This study was a true experimental study with a posttest-only control group design, with 6 treatment groups namely 1%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% extract concentrations (Experimental Group) and distilled water (Control Group). The experiment was repeated 4 times with a testing time of 24 hours. A total 600 Aedes aegypti instar larvae III/IV were used. Larvae toxicity was analyzed using Probit Analysis to determine the value of Lethal Concentration (LC) and Lethal Time (LT) and the Kruskall-Wallis test to determine the differences of larval deaths in each experimental group. Results: Results showed that the highest and the lowest average larval mortality was at 20% concentration (25 larvae) and 1% concentration (14.75 larvae), respectively.  and values were 4.84% and 10.39%, while values of five concentrations were 115.74, 24.24, 23.41, 25.24, and 16.55 hours and values of five concentrations were 241.95, 29.42, 26.20, 32.24, and 24.48 hours. There was a difference in the number of larval deaths after 24 hours of treatment in the experimental group (p-value = 0.011).Conclusion: Papaya flower extract has the potential to be an Aedes aegypti larvicide with 20% concentration as the optimum dose. However, phytochemical screening needs to be done to determine the dominant papaya flower compounds act as Aedes aegypti larvicides.
