Abstract

Early neonatal deaths, defined as deaths of newborn babies between zero and seven days, have undoubtedly triggered a big challenge in developing countries. This current analysis aimed to determine the effect of birth interval (i.e., the time between two successive live births) on adverse pregnancy outcomes such as early neonatal death by using reproductive calendar data containing information on birth history for five years preceding Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey 2017. Merely singleton and non-first live births were included in the analysis (n=11, 599). Logistic regression models for the complex sample were utilized to measure the associations between birth interval and early neonatal deaths after adjusting for potential confounders. Early neonatal mortality was associated with birth interval. Newborns with shorter birth intervals (< 24 months) and longer birth intervals (36 months or more) had 2.68 times (95% CI: 1.15-6.28) and 3.08 times (95% CI: 1.37-6.92), respectively, higher odds of early neonatal deaths compared with newborns birth spaced of 24-35 months. Among mothers who received at least one antenatal care visit, there was a decrease in the odds of early neonatal deaths for shorter and longer birth intervals. The results suggest that the promotion of optimal birth interval, the utilization of antenatal care services, and the improvement of contraceptive services are all important to prevent adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract

Working mothers' status is one of the factors that have influenced exclusive breastfeeding. The availability of social support for working mothers can affect whether exclusive breastfeeding is successful. This study's objective was to examine the different types of social support and design a social support model for working mothers in Indonesia. This study employed mixed methods and an explanatory sequential design. There were 400 working mothers with babies ranging in age from 6 to 24 months. The study included 25 working mothers who provided exclusive breastfeeding (cases) and 25 individuals who did not provide exclusive breastfeeding (control). The sampling method was purposive sampling. There were 11 informants, including working mothers who breastfed exclusively, health workers, and healthcare cadres. This study found a significant relationship between social support from the husband (p=0.002), co-workers (p=0.010), parents (p=0.047), and workplace (p=0.002) and exclusive breastfeeding for working mothers. Only the social support of the husband and the workplace determine the social support model in exclusive breastfeeding for working mothers. A husband's contribution is essential in providing social support through emotional and instrumental support.

Abstract

The studies on the Google searching behavior of face masks can be counted as evidence of how far the netizens’ enthusiasm for increasing their knowledge of the proper use of face masks. This current study aimed to analyze the trends in online searching behavior for face masks to prevent Covid-19 in Indonesia. This was conducted quantitatively utilizing Google search trends regarding the comparison between face mask types, including cloth masks, medical masks, and N95 masks in Indonesia after the first case of Covid-19. The mapping of sub-regions with the largest Google Trends filter category was also illustrated in this study. A time-trend analysis was conducted from Google data by describing several policy implementations, including social distancing and transition periods. A correlation analysis was performed by comparing the number of searches for face masks and the total number of Covid-19 cases. It was found that searching for all types of face masks increased in the early stage of the pandemic in Indonesia, while the trend later decreased. After implementing the social distancing policy, the results suggest that searches for cloth masks ranked highest. The increasing number of Covid-19 confirmed cases reduced the tendency of searching behavior for face masks in the category of cloth masks (r2 = -0.1730), medical masks (r2 = -0.1736), and N95 masks (r2 = -0.4329) at p-value <0.05. This study illustrates that the existence of a mandatory policy to use masks will increase mask-seeking behavior in Indonesia.

Abstract

The Covid-19 Self-Isolation Telemedicine Service is established to reduce hospital occupancy rates amid peak Covid-19 cases. To develop better services, user satisfaction should be measured through service quality dimensions. This study aimed to determine the service quality dimensions of Indonesia's Covid-19 self-isolation telemedicine service. A cross-sectional design was utilized for this study. Out of 124,010 service users, data from a sample of 400 respondents were collected through online questionnaires. Service quality dimensions studied were responsiveness, reliability, information quality, empathy, ease of use, and perceived usefulness. Data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation test. 91.7% of respondents were satisfied with the Covid-19 self-isolation telemedicine service. Responsiveness, reliability, information quality, empathy, ease of use, and perceived usefulness were correlated with user satisfaction, with the successive level of correlation (r): 0.474, 0.569, 0.485, 0.478, 0.569, and 0.478. All dimensions studied were correlated with user satisfaction at moderate and positive levels. However, few users were dissatisfied with the Covid-19 Self-Isolation Telemedicine Service. Several efforts are required to improve the service. This study provides new insights into telemedicine satisfaction in Indonesia because it analyzes the Covid-19 self-isolation telemedicine service provided by the Indonesian Ministry of Health for the first time.

Abstract

Farmers and pesticides are two inseparable things. Pesticides are one the toxic chemicals in the agricultural sector and use to control pests and weeds in the process of getting maximum yields. This study aimed to determine the symptoms of pesticide intoxication in vegetable farmers in Gowa Regency, Indonesia. This type of study was an analytical survey with a cross-sectional study design. The number of samples was 42 people consisting of vegetable farmers who were still actively working as pesticide sprayers and was determined by purposive sampling. For collecting data, it used interviews and screening for poisoning symptoms. Data were processed by tabulating (mentioning each participant in the study group) following the grouping of the variables examined and analyzed using the chi-square test. The results showed that the most common symptoms of pesticide intoxication were felt by farmers, namely muscle pain, headaches, and dizziness. This study found a relationship between spraying methods, personal hygiene, and personal protective equipment to symptoms of pesticide intoxication (p<0.05). This study recommends that vegetable farmers pay attention to the proper use of pesticides to minimize pesticide intoxication in the body.

Abstract

Unsafe food for consumption can cause disease for humans, such as food poisoning and nosocomial infections. This study aimed to describe the implementation of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) in Hospitals in Kendari City, Indonesia. This study used analytical descriptive approach, with a survey design. It was conducted at General Hospital Bahteramas and in Kendari City General Hospital. The respondents were part of the nutrition staffs, hosts, and waiters with total of 25 people from Bahteramas General Hospital and 19 people from Kendari City General Hospital. The results revealed that the implementation of HACCP in hospitals had never been implemented effectively, at the Bahteramas General Hospital, the implementation of HACCP starting from stage 1 to stage 12 had not been entirely implemented. In addition, whilst the application of HACCP in stages 2 to 5 had been carried out at the Kendari City Hospital, the 1 and steps 6 through 12 were not applied yet. Thus, based on the concepts of food hygiene and sanitation, the hospitals must strengthen their food management efforts, in order to implement the HACCP system and for health workers, food handlers, and food servicers.

Abstract

The total number of maternal and child mortality in Indonesia annually has not yet reached the target set by World Health Organization. This figure is influenced by maternal compliance to perform antenatal care checks. The research aimed to investigate the behavior patterns of seeking help for pregnant and giving birth during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research design was observational with a cross-sectional study design. The population in this study was selected using the consecutive sampling method based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Within this approach, 51 samples were obtained in Gowa Regency, to whom questionnaires were distributed to get further data. As seen from the research results, 50 samples (98%) performed antenatal care checks every month, while only 1 sample (2%) did not do antenatal care checks regularly every month. Regarding mothers' knowledge of the Covid-19 pandemic, the data revealed that 33 samples had sufficient knowledge, 7 samples had good knowledge, and the rest, 11 samples, had less knowledge related to such a case. The pattern of care-seeking behavior of pregnant and giving-birth mothers during the pandemic has not changed from the period before the pandemic and pregnant women still routinely check their pregnancy every month.

Abstract

Welding is one type of work potentially triggering work accidents. It is thus necessary to prevent work accidents in welding to minimize potential hazards and to prevent both work accidents and significant losses by the safety behaviour by using personal protective equipment. This current study aims to analyze the tendency of safety behaviour among welders in using PPE properly. This research was conducted through an analytic observational study using a cross-sectional design. It was carried out on welders at one of the shipbuilding companies in Indonesia. Sampling was chosen using a total population of 58 respondents. All research instruments, questionnaires, and analysis sheets have been tested for validity and reliability. The researchers looked at the Odds Ratio in the Ordinal Regression test to see behaviour tendency. The results suggest that the variables of knowledge, OSH training, and the reward system have a value of OR > 1. the variables of attitude, work readiness, availability of PPE, OSH promotion, and interaction between workers have a value of OR <1. This study found that welders tend to perform good safety behaviour using personal protective equipment based on determinants of behaviour such as knowledge, attitude, work readiness, availability of PPE, the interaction between workers, OSH promotion, OSH training, reward system, and supervision. Nevertheless, based on the OR value, the safety behaviour tendency differs for each behavioural determinant.

Abstract

Soil-Transmitted Helminth (hereafter STH) is considered as the leading cause of global health problems. This study aims to know the intensity and prevalence of STH infections among mining workers by comparing fecal and nail examinations in Morindino Village, Kambowa District, North Buton Regency Southeast Sulawesi Province. Feces were examined by using a native method, whilst the nails were observed by a sediment method. Additionally, descriptive and inferential analysis with independent t-tests were used to analyze the data. A total of 48 respondents were involved in this study. The observations of fecal respondents indicated that 4 (8.3%) of the respondents were infected with Ascaris lumbricoides, 12 (25%) had hookworm eggs, and 32 respondents (66.67%) were not infected. Moreover, the observation of STH worm eggs using nail samples showed that 1 respondent (2%) was infected with Ascaris lumbricoides, 4 (8.3%) respondents were infected by hookworm, and 43 respondents (89.58%) were free. The intensity of the attack was still in the mild category for all types of worm eggs; yet the highest attack was on hookworm for both examinations (2.16 and 2.25 eggs/individual). The research site took place around a sand mining land area with loose sandy soil structures that are protected from sunlight and mixed with humus to support the STH life cycle. Some individuals did open defecation habits at the research site leads to the STH contamination of the soil. Thus, the surveillance programs and infections control should be effectively implemented to manage worms incident.

Abstract

Breast and cervical cancer have ranked first and second in terms of the highest cancer cases in Indonesia. The high incidence of breast and cervical cancer is due to the low coverage of early detection. This study aimed to examine the implementation of breast cancer early detection programs using the SADANIS method and cervical cancer using the IVA method. This current study used a qualitative and descriptive approach through input, process, output, and impact variables. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation review. The results revealed that the number of trained human resources, facilities, and infrastructure was sufficient. The program had also implemented online and offline information systems and was actively conducting inspections integrated with the “Family Planning” program. The high achievement of the program had also been supported by the existence of an innovative screening system and direct examination in the community. The program achievements for 2021-2022 (January-June) and cases of cervical cancer had decreased. Implementing the early detection program for breast and cervical cancer is considered better. It can thus become a model for other regencies.
