Abstract

Students at the “X” Islamic Boarding School in Sidoarjo face nutritional problems (deficiency or excess) and stress due to academic burden, strict rules, and adaptation to a new environment. This study investigated the multifaceted relationship between nutritional intake, physical activity, nutritional knowledge, social support, counseling guidance, coping strategies, and stress levels about the nutritional status of students aged 13–17 years (n = 91) using a cross-sectional design. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire that measured academic burden, social pressure, social support, counseling services, coping success, nutritional knowledge, peer support, self-efficacy in choosing food, eating patterns, and anthropometric measurements (weight, height, and BMI/Age). Bivariate analysis revealed that academic burden (p < 0.001), social support (p = 0.035), counseling guidance (p = 0.011), and coping (p = 0.015) were significantly associated with stress, while social pressure was not (p = 0.611). Stress significantly influenced nutritional status (p=0.001), while nutritional knowledge (p=0.013), peer support (p=0.002), self-efficacy (p=0.014), and dietary patterns (p<0.001) were significantly correlated with nutritional status. In conclusion, psychosocial factors and nutritional behavior simultaneously influence the physical and mental well-being of students, so a comprehensive strategy is needed to improve student well-being that includes academic management, strengthening social support, counseling services, increasing knowledge and coping, and dietary education.  Keywords: students, nutritional problems, stress, Islamic boarding schools

Abstract

Declining rates of neglected tropical diseases, particularly leprosy, highlight the need for comprehensive policies addressing the incidence of this disease in Indonesia. This study aims to investigate the impact of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) programs on the incidence of leprosy in the country's urban and rural areas.Data were collected from the WHO Global Health Observatory using a cross-sectional study design. The independent variables examined included open defecation-free programs, availability of handwashing facilities, and access to basic drinking water and sanitation services. The dependent variable was the incidence of leprosy in urban and rural settings. Data analysis was performed using independent T-tests and Pearson correlation coefficients with SPSS version 23.The findings revealed a significant decline in leprosy incidence in rural and moderately urban areas over a 14-year survey period, reflecting trends similar to those of WASH programs. Overall, WASH programs were found to be correlated with the incidence of leprosy in both urban and rural areas (p<0.001), while the significance of open defecation programs decreased (p=0.46). The Pearson correlation analysis indicated that the availability of handwashing facilities was positively correlated with leprosy incidence (r=0.58, p<0.001). In contrast, basic drinking water (r=-0.62, p<0.001) and basic sanitation services (r=-0.62, p<0.001) showed a negative association with leprosy incidence. In summary, WASH programs are crucial for controlling the spread of leprosy in Indonesia's urban and rural regions.  Keyword: Leprosy, WASH programs, urban and rural, Indonesia

Abstract

Stunting remains a significant global health issue affecting children, and Indonesia is still one of the countries with a high prevalence of stunting. Over the past three years, the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia was reached 24.4% in 2021, 21.6% in 2022, and 21.5% in 2023. East Java is one of the provinces still experiencing high stunting rates, although the figures are slightly below the national average. From 2021 to 2023, a decrease occurred, though not significantly. Several factors such as age at marriage and low birth weight are associated with the risk of stunting in East Java. This study employs a spatial-temporal approach through the visualization of stunting risk mapping using geographic information systems (GIS). Secondary aggregate data were obtained from the Indonesian Ministry of Health, BPS East Java, and digital maps sources. The h three-year autocorrelation analysis showed greater changes in the Moran's I value from 2021-2023, indicating changes in special pattern. In mapping the risk of stunting, there is a change in distribution of t high and low risk areas, although some areas remained in the same category. The results from the analysis and visualization in this study are expected to serve as valuable input for stakeholders  to overcome stunting in East Java.  Keywords: stunting, East Java, spatial, GIS, autocorrelation

Abstract

The Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) due to delayed decision-making remain a major issue, primarily because women and their husbands often do not take an active role as decision-makers. This study aimed to examine the characteristics and influence of various factors including level of knowledge, choice of referral health facility, considerations in hospital selection, family influence, main factors in referral decisions, belief or trust factors, and husband's psychological factors on referral decisions for high-risk pregnancies in Lumajang Regency. The respondents were husbands of pregnant women with a high-risk pregnancy (KSPR ≥ 6) during the period January-June 2023. This quantitative research employed a case-control design using probability sampling.  Cluster sampling was conducted across 25 Community Health Canters, followed by proportionate stratified random sampling, yielding a total sample of 300 participants. The Chi-Square test showed a significant relationship (p<0.05) between psychological factors (p=0.035) and referral decisions for high-risk pregnancies. Meanwhile, other variables including level of knowledge (p=0.893), choice of hospital type (p=0.155), consideration in selecting referral health facilities (p=0.969), family influence (p=0.394), main consideration for referral approval (p=0.901), and belief or trust factors (p=0.702) did not show a significant relationship with husband's referral decision. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that husband without psychological issues were 2.397 times more likely to agree to referral for high-risk pregnancies compared to those with psychological problems.   Keywords: Husband's decision, referral, delivery, high risk pregnancy

Abstract

Candida albicans is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in various countries, with the prevalence of infection reaching 17,640 cases with an average incidence of 1.5 million people, causing more than one billion people, and the adverse effects of fungal infections can threaten >1.6 million lives. This study aimed to determine the effect of Candida albicans cell concentration on DNA isolation results. The method used was the modified Alkaline lysis using cell cultures with concentrations of 10⁸, 10⁹, and 10⁰ cells/mL. The results showed that the growth curve of the sample showed an increase in cell concentration directly proportional to the absorbance of the UV-Vis spectrophotometer results. Cell suspensions in SDB media were incubated for 2-3 days, then the absorbance was measured, resulting in a value of 5.307 nm after multiplying the dilution factor. The results of Candida albicans DNA isolation were visualized using 2% agarose gel electrophoresis, with no DNA bands found in all samples and negative results. In contrast, smear bands appeared in positive controls. Analysis using a Nanodrop spectrophotometer showed the purity of DNA isolates at concentrations of 10⁸ and 10⁹ < 1.8, while at 10¹⁰ it was 1.82. The average DNA concentration obtained was < 100 ng/µL. Based on the results of statistical tests, it can be concluded that the p-value <0.05 indicates the effect of cell concentration on the results of DNA isolation using the modified Alkaline lysis method.

Abstract

The sandal industry is one of the industries that poses health risks to workers, particularly due to the physical conditions of the work environment and the production process, which serve as potential hazards. One form of control  that can be implemented is the measurement of physical factors in the workplaces. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to measure the physical hazard factors, specifically noise and lighting, and to describe the potential health risks faced by workers in a shoe manufacturing company in Surabaya. This research employed an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach, involving 25 respondents selected using a total sampling technique. The study was conducted from Juli to August 2024. Data on respondents’ characteristics were collected through interviews using a questionnaire, while blood pressure was measured using an Omron digital sphygmomanometer. Blood pressure was assessed before and after work on the same day. Physical factors in the work environment, such as noise, were measured using a sound level meter, and lighting was measured using a lux meter. The results showed that the average noise level range from 80.5-82.4 dBA, which l does not exceed the threshold limit value (TLV) of 85 dBA according to the Minister of Manpower Regulation No. 5 of 2018 concerning Occupational Safety and Health in the Work Environment. The average lighting level 107.8 lux, which is below the minimum lighting standard for sewing activities, s (500-700 lux), based on the Minister of Health Regulation No. 70 of 2016 concerning Standards and Requirements for Environmental Health in Industrial Workplaces. Health examinations showed an increase in average systolic and diastolic blood pressure s among the workers. Further examination is required to determine whether physical factors in the work environment contribute to the observed  increase in blood pressure among workers in the sandal and shoe industry.  Keywords: Work environment measurement, Industrial Hygiene, Occupational Health, Informal Sector, Safety

Abstract

The choice of anticoagulants and the methods of homogenization are critical pre-analytical steps that can significantly influence the accuracy of laboratory results. This study aims to assess the differences in erythrocyte count and hemoglobin levels among blood samples processed with conventional anticoagulants and Vacutainer tubes, taking into account variations in secondary homogenization techniques. A laboratory experimental design was employed, utilizing 32 blood samples acquired from eight participants. The analysis was conducted using an automated hematology analyzer. Data were subjected to a Paired T-Test, indicating no significant differences in erythrocyte counts (p=0.617) and hemoglobin levels (p=0.510) between conventional EDTA samples that were homogenized four times and those homogenized eight times. However, a significant difference was noted in erythrocyte counts (p=0.018), while hemoglobin levels remained unaffected (p=0.393) in EDTA vacutainer samples subjected to four versus eight rounds of secondary homogenization. Additionally, a significant difference was found in both erythrocyte counts (p = 0.008) and hemoglobin levels (p < 0.0001) between conventional EDTA samples and those subjected to four rounds of secondary homogenization using vacutainers. Similarly, there was a significant difference in erythrocyte counts (p = 0.006) and hemoglobin levels (p = 0.014) between conventional EDTA samples and Vacutainer samples that underwent eight rounds of homogenization.  Keywords: Blood Specimen Collection; EDTA; Erythrocyte; Hemoglobin; Secondary Homogenization
