<![CDATA[Tegal district is facing obstacles in achieving immunization targets during the Covid-19 pandemic as the declining number of children who have been immunized. The role and support of village stakeholders considerably play a very significant role in overcoming these obstacles. This current study aimed to analyze the dimensions of village stakeholders’ roles in achieving basic immunization targets during the pandemic era. This study was conducted using a quantitative survey with a cross-sectional approach. The participants were all village stakeholders related to the immunization program. There were 300 people from 30 selected villages as samples chosen through a purposive technique sampling. The roles of stakeholders were found to be the dimensions of perceptions, powers, and respectively interests. The results were most of the stakeholders showed such positive dimensions of perception related to their roles in immunization as well as interest dimensions. All respondents, in addition, considered that their institutions have no power in implementing immunization programs in villages. The immunization success was the responsibility of PHC and health workers instead. There was a relationship between perceptions with strengths and interests, as well as a relationship between strengths with interests of village stakeholders in the immunization program (p<0.05). The weakest role of village stakeholders was in the power dimension as they rely highly on the local governments and health workers with a weak authority to make decisions. Thus, strengthening the role needs to be done through continuous socialization and dissemination with interactive coordination methods, and direct and personal communication.]]>

<![CDATA[Approximately ten percent of children under five in Indonesia have suffered from wasting. Children with low birth body weight are considerably more at risk of suffering such disease. This current study aimed to analyze the relationship between low birth body weight and other risk factors of wasting among Indonesian children. This study utilized data from the 2018 Indonesian National Basic Health Research (Riskesdas). In total, 60,451 children aged 6-59 months were included. The data were analyzed using bivariate and logistic regressions. According to the data analysis, children with low birth-body weight had significantly higher odds of being wasted compared to children with normal birth-body weight (OR=1.5, 95%CI=1.3-1.8). In addition, boys and younger children (6-23 months) were 1.3 times more susceptible to wasting (OR=1.3, 95%CI=1.2-1.4). Unemployed fathers and mothers comprised of 1.3 and 1.1 times, respectively, to increase the risk of child wasting (OR=1.3, 95%CI=1-1.7; OR=1.1, 95%CI=1-1.2). Mothers with a low education level contributed to an increase in wasting prevalence 1.1 times (OR=1.1, 95%CI=1-1.2). Children who were lack of vitamin A supplements had a 1.2 times more chance of being wasted (OR=1.2, 95%CI=1.1-1.3). This research eventually suggested that low birth-body weight was the dominant factor in child wasting in Indonesia. Programs for improving the nutritional status of pregnant women and children with low birth-body weight should therefore be implemented intensively and comprehensively.]]>

<![CDATA[Malaria disease is transmitted by the Anopheles sp vectors. The climate and environmental changes will in fact affect the life and bionomic vector of Anopheles sp. The Anopheles species in an area are strongly influenced by the availability of brood stocks. Such efforts to control malaria have to be in line with controlling the Anopheles population in that area. Information on the behaviors, bionomic characteristics, and habitat preferences of Anopheles species is thus needed. It is very important to select a control program according to the types of vectors to be controlled. This study aimed to examine the dominance of Anopheles species in malaria-endemic areas with currently pre-elimination status with the Etawa goats population. A field survey was necessarily conducted to catch mosquitoes during nighttime. Catching using human bait and livestock bait started from 06.00 pm to 04.00 am. Identification of species morphology used the WRBU guidelines. The catch results were dominated by Anopheles (63.64%), followed by Culex (27.27%) and Aedes (9.09%), respectively. The caught Anopheles consisted of An. maculatus (64.29%), An. subpictus (28.57%) and An. aconitus (7,14%) respectively. It was found that An. Maculatus type surprisingly still dominated the mosquito population in the malaria pre-elimination area in Purworejo. Thereby, it is important to develop such a malaria control method based on mosquito attack diversion because the dominant vector in this area is more zoophilic.]]>

<![CDATA[The intention to take the Visual Inspection of Acetatic Acid (VIA) test, an early detection method for cervical cancer, in Indonesia is considerably still low due to the lack of both awareness and intention of cancer screening using the VIA test. In fact, the VIA test is a goverment‘s program aimed to prevent and to suppress the increasing number of cervical cancer. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors associated with the intention to take the VIA test among university students. This study applied a cross-sectional design with a sample size of 314 respondents. The respondents in this study were university students selected using a volunteery sampling technique. The data were collected by an online questionnaire (i.e., Google Form). Multivariate analysis used a logistic regression test. The proportion of respondents who had the intention to utilize the VIA test was 74.5%. The results of the multivariate analysis depicted that the intention to take the VIA test was associated with the health field of study (p-value: <0.001; OR=3.09; 95%CI=1.72－5.54) and positive attitude towards early detection of cervical cancer (p-value: <0.001; OR=2.73; 95%CI=1.55－4.79). The intention to take the VIA test was associated with the field of health studies, positive subjective norms, positive attitudes, and perceptions of positive behavioral control. Therefore, there should be a necessity for education, especially for non-health students onto the importance of taking the VIA test by utilizing educational facilities at their home universities.]]>

<![CDATA[Social vulnerability is defined as a characteristic of groups that can threaten their ability to prevent, cope with or recover from the impact of a hazard. By linking social conditions with risk exposure, social vulnerability is useful for looking at the inequality of the social effects experienced by society from health crises such as the Covid-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study was to spatially analyze the vulnerability to Covid-19 in the Palembang City sub-district in 2021 by using the social characteristics of the region. This type of research was descriptive with an ecological study design. The population group studied was 18 sub-districts in the city of Palembang. The study used secondary data such as the Covid-19 variable and the vulnerable population received from the Palembang City Health Office, and the rest of the variable from the government's official website and Google Maps. The analysis process was done through Spatial Multi-Criteria Evaluation (SMCE) using Microsoft Excel and spatial analysis in weighted overlays using QGIS. For the final social vulnerability status, sub-districts with high vulnerability were Sukarami, Ilir Barat I, Plaju, and Ilir Timur I, respectively. For sub-districts with low vulnerability were Bukit Kecil and Sematang Borang. One way to reduce the level of vulnerability in an area was by taking preventive measures in the community whose needs needed to be further considered and maximizing the implementation of 3T activities and vaccinations.]]>

<![CDATA[Efforts to prevent COVID-19 in Indonesia include the 3M movement. This movement is a COVID- 19 Task Force campaign to do 3M (Using masks, washing hands, and maintaining a safe distance) in preventing COVID-19. In relation to health protocols, it is necessary to review a person's desire to carry out or not carry out these preventive measures, this can be reviewed in the Health Belief Model theory. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the public often obtains information based on geographic information systems regarding the zoning of the development of COVID-19 in each region. Geographic Information System is the best medium for monitoring by mapping because it has a very good ability to visualize spatial data and its attributes. The purpose of this study is to find out the zoning of COVID-19 prevention in the 3M movement based on the Geographic Information System in the people of Southeast Sulawesi in 2020. This study uses a quantitative descriptive type of research. There is 17 districts/cities, there is no red zone on the variables of vulnerability, seriousness, benefits, barriers, health motivation, and cues to act, and only 1 region has good compliance (green zone) in prevention of COVID-19 through the 3M movement. An in- depth study of the variables studied with a more detailed methodology is needed so that the results obtained can complement each other to develope of science.]]>

<![CDATA[Malnutrition in children can contribute to growth limitations, and susceptibility to infection, which ultimately can inhibit the children’s growth and development. This study aimed to determine the fulfillment of macronutrient intake, micronutrient intake, and nutritional status of elementary school children at State Elementary School (hereafter SDN) Ammatoa Area, Kajang District, and Bulukumba Regency. This research was a descriptive study involving a population of 131 children and a sample of 65 children obtained by accidental sampling. The data were analyzed by using descriptive analysis of the percentage test. The results showed that the majority of macro-carbohydrate intakes (56.9%) were in the sufficient category, the majority of protein and fat (61.5% and 84.6%) were in the less category, while the intake of micronutrients, namely iron, zinc, and calcium primarily (83.1%, 80%, and 92.3%) in the less category, and the majority of nutritional status (86.2%) in the normal category. It was concluded that the intake of macro and micronutrients in elementary school children at the SDN Ammatoa region tended to be still lacking/low, despite their nutritional status, which tended to be normal. It is hoped that the relevant agencies will provide counselling to students regarding healthy and nutritious food by utilizing local food diversification in the Ammatoa customary area.]]>

<![CDATA[The most effective prevention of the spread of Covid-19 is to break the chain of transmission associated with the modes of transmission of Covid-19 by complying with health protocols. This study aimed to determine the handwashing behavior of nursing students based on Dorothy E. Johnson's theory as an effort to prevent Covid-19. The type of research was quantitative research with a descriptive method. The number of samples was 154 students using a proportionate stratified random sampling technique. The results showed that hand washing behavior in nursing students was in a good category as many as 62 respondents (40.3%), while the application of hand washing in the poor category was 32 respondents (20.8%). Based on the results of research with the application of Dorothy E Johnson's behavioral theory system, it is known that most students matched individual behavior with the demands and expectations that existed in society with a good category, the ability to adapt to various changes in body functions in the moderate category. Likewise, being productive and valuable for themselves and others in the moderate category, and the ability to provide solutions to other health problems was in the sufficient category. The majority of hand washing behavior in nursing students was in a good category, where the match between individual behavior and the demands and expectations that existed in society was in a good category as noticeable efforts to prevent Covid-19.]]>

<![CDATA[The role of nutrition is certainly needed to fulfill the growth process in school-age children because they are still in the growth phase. Whilst optimal growth and development depend on the provision of nutrients, both in terms of quality and quantity, that are considerably right. This study aimed to determine the effects of giving carrots and tempeh as the ingredients of brownies on the nutritional status of undernourished students at elementary school, Gowa Regency. This research was conducted through a quasi-experimental study with a non-randomized control group pretest-posttest design. The number of samples was as many as 24 people, with a sampling technique using purposive sampling. The method of analysis was a paired t-test. The results of this study indicated that there was an effect on nutritional status in the case group (p=0.001) and the control group (0.030,) and there was an effect on body weight in the case group (p=0.001) and the control group (p=0.028). However, providing tempeh brownies as a substitute for carrots and tempeh, brownies had not been able to change the nutritional status of undernourished students for 30 days which was indicated by the average z-score, which was still at <-2 SD. Further research is needed to be developed to determine the duration and efficient frequency of providing intervention in order to get optimal results. This study is expected to provide a new effort in presenting a combination of nutritious foods in an effort to overcome nutritional disorders among children.]]>

<![CDATA[The implementation of the making process of a Phinisi ship has a potential hazard impact on occupational safety and health, including the tools, materials, and work processes respectively. One of the accident risk management methods used is called the Hazard and Operability method, which reviews the process of making a Phinisi ship in order to identify some hazards and analyze the risk of work accidents. The purpose of this study was to use hazard and operability (HAZOP) to assess the level of occupational health and safety risk for Phinisi ship workers. This research was quantitative with a descriptive approach because it described the risk of work accidents in making Phinisi Ships. The population in this study were all Phinsi ship workers, whilst the sampling technique was total sampling. The results showed that the hazards identified in the Phinisi shipbuilding process were physical, chemical, physiological, and mechanical hazards. The most dominant hazard identified in each work step process was a physical hazard. At the stage of making ivory or ship hulls, there was a very high level of possible risk. In addition, at the work step of installing ship sails, the severity of the risk was very serious. This study led to a systematic evaluation of the possible risks and a suggestion for how industrial managers can reduce the risks that come up when building ships.]]>
