<![CDATA[Under certain climatic conditions, Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes can survive and reproduce optimally so that climate change can significantly change the pattern of disease distribution. This study aimed to model the level of Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF) hazard in Gorontalo Regency by integrating the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), Geographic Information System (GIS) with climatological and topographic factors. The factors that most influence the level of hazard of DHF are annual rainfall, altitude, and humidity. The results obtained show that Gorontalo Regency is dominated by the hazard level class of 94852.31 ha or 44.25% and the moderate class area of 82553.37 ha or 38.5% of the total area of Gorontalo Regency. These results prove that Gorontalo Regency is very at risk of DHF disease. If this is not handled by the government properly, the moderate class will potentially rise to the high class. The prediction model for the DHF hazard level in this study can be made according to local conditions in the research area which have limited data. Changes in climate variables and periodicity that affect the incidence of dengue can be flexibly adapted to this model. The findings from this study provide valuable insights that have the potential to improve mitigation in public health-related interventions.]]>

<![CDATA[The main allergen of allergic rhinitis is house dust mites (HDM), that often found in humid room conditions and furnitures. The health behaviour consists of knowledge, attitude, and practice is closely related to the occurrence of disease including allergic rhinitis. One of the methods to screen allergic rhinitis is the score for allergic rhinitis (SFAR) questionnaire. This study aimed to determine the relationship between behaviour (knowledge, attitude, and practice) on house dust mites and the SFAR score. This was an analytical observational study on female population age 17-34 years old in Jember District. As many as 141 respondents were selected using the purposive sampling technique based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using an online behaviour questionnaire and the SFAR. The primary data were analyzed statistically by chi-square test with a significance value of p <0.05. The results showed that 46 respondents (32.62%) had an SFAR score > 7, indicated allergic rhinitis symptoms. The majority of respondents (76 people or 54%) had sufficient knowledge about HDM, as many as 132 respondents (93.62%) had a good attitude towards HDM and 94 respondents (66.67%) had a good practice towards HDM. Statistical analysis showed that there was a relationship between knowledge, attitude, and practice on HDM and the SFAR score, each with the value of p = 0.000. In conclusion, good knowledge, attitude, and practice to HDM would decrease the HDM population resulting in reduce of allergic rhinitis risk, that could be screened by SFAR.]]>

<![CDATA[The government prioritizes health as one of the areas in which it seeks to boost the country's growth, but the referral system in place has failed to deliver high-quality health care. The purpose of this study was to assess and empirically demonstrate the extent to which the health referral system has been implemented in Kendari Health Center and Bau-Bau City. The study was held in the Kendari City Health Center and the Bau-Bau City Health Center, and it lasted from February 2020 to February 2021. This research method is a qualitative approach based on postpositivism's theory, in which the researcher is the primary instrument, triangulation is used to collect data, inductive data analysis is used to analyze data, and qualitative research results emphasize meaning rather than generalization. Informants in this study amounted to 15 informants. Qualitative data were analyzed using the NVIVO 12 QSR application. The research findings indicate that there is a conceptual link between the health system and the concept of implementing a referral system. This research emphasizes to the health service center the importance of increasing the knowledge of health workers through training for both doctors and advocacy for policymakers regarding the improvement of health facilities. ]]>
