Abstract

Background: The high birth rate is the main reason for the need for family planning services. Many women experience difficulties in determining the choice of type of contraception. This is not only because of the limited available methods but also because of their ignorance to make the right choice according to age, number of children and the side effects that often arise. This study aimed to obtain in-depth information about the behavior of community participation in the family plan­ning program at the Kajuara Community Health Center, Bone Regency. Subjects and Method: The type of research used is descriptive qualitative research. The number of informants in this study was 7 people. The variables of this study are people's behavior, know­ledge, attitudes, and actions. These research variables in a qualitative approach are referred to as the research focus. Data collection was done through in-depth interviews. Data analysis using "content analysis". While the technique of testing the validity of the data using data triangulation. Results: The results showed that basically, the community at the Kajuara Community Health Center knew about the Family Planning program, its benefits, and objectives, but the informa­tion obtained about the Family Planning program was not fully obtained. The attitude of the people who are less responsive to participation in the Family Planning program does not mean they are afraid of not having children but are afraid of the effects of these contraceptives. The actions of people who do not participate in the Family Planning program are due to informa­tion from other people regarding the effects of contraceptives which makes people not want to participate in the Family Planning program. Conclusion: This study concludes that there is a need to increase public knowledge about the Family Planning program through intensive counselling in the community by health workers. It is recommended that the community at the Kajuara Community Health Center support the Family Planning program that has been programmed by the government by participating in the program. It is hoped that mothers will not be influenced by information from other people about the effects of family planning and seek information about family planning programs from health workers.

Diarrhea is influenced by several factors that directly or indirectly include agent, host, and environmental factors. Environmental sanitation factors are the most dominant factors causing diarrhea, namely drinking water sources, latrine conditions, garbage disposal con­ditions, and waste drain conditions. Alak Community Health Center is one of the community health centers with the highest cases of diarrhea with a total of 557 cases in 2018, 428 cases in 2019, and 296 cases in 2020. This study aims to determine the correlation between environmental sanitation and the incidence of diarrhea in children under five in the working area of the Alak Community Health Center, Kupang City. Subjects and Method: A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design conducted in the working area of the Alak community health center, Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara in November-December 2022.  A total of 93 children under five were selected by simple random sampling.  The dependent variable was the incidence of diarrhea in children under five. The independent variables were raw water sources, latrine conditions, garbage disposal conditions, and wastewater disposal conditions. The data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using chi-square tests. Results: There was a significant association between raw water sources (p< 0.001), latrine conditions (p< 0.001), landfills (p< 0.001), and wastewater disposal (p= 0.001) to the inci­dence of diarrhea in children under five. Conclusion: There is a correlation between raw water sources, latrine conditions, garbage disposal, and wastewater disposal to the incidence of diarrhea in children under five. Keywords: diarrhea, environmental sanitation, children under five. Correspondence: Dahniar Salsabiella Djaba. Faculty of Public Health Universitas Nusa Cendana Kupang.

Abstract

Background: Personal protective equipment (PPE) is mandatory equipment for workers to use while working in accordance with the hazards and risks that are being faced. This behavior of using PPE itself aims to isolate the workers’ bodies from hazards and risks of occupational accidents.

Subjects and Method: It was a quantitative study with a cross-sectional study design conducted at Al-Ihsan Regional General Hospital Bandung from June to September 2022. The sample used was 43 laboratory workers. The dependent variable was the behavior of using personal protective equipment (PPE). The independent variable was the level of knowledge. Data collection was carried out using an online questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. Results: The level of knowledge relates to the use of PPE. Well-informed workers increased the behavior of using PPE by 60.0 times compared to workers with a low level of knowledge and it was statistically significant (OR= 60.0; 95% CI= 8.98 to 400.8; p<0.001). Conclusion: The level of knowledge is significantly related to the behavior of using PPE. Keywords: behavior of using ppe, level of knowledge, and laboratory workers. Correspondence: Endang Dwiyanti.
