Abstract

Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in Indonesia is still high with the main causes of pre-eclampsia and postpartum hemorrhage, this occurs due to endometritis, congenital coagulation disorders as well as residual conception products, subinvolution of blood vessels at placental implantation.  Therefore, efforts are needed to increase uterine contractions in the first minute after birth by stimulating the release of the hormone oxytocin so that the uterus contracts adequately with early initiation of breastfeeding (EIB). This study aims to determine the effect of EIB on uterine involution in postpartum mothers in Bengkulu Regency, Bengkulu Province. Design of research is cross sectional with independent variable of EIB, dependent variable of uterine involution. External variables measured include early mobilization, age and parity. The sample in this study were postpartum mothers on day 7, a total of 54 people selected by purposive sampling. The research site was located in Central Bengkulu Regency, Bengkulu Province. Data were analyzed univariate, bivariate with Mann Whitney and multivariate with ancova. There is an effect of EIB with uterine involution p=0.000.  There is no relationship between parity and uterine involution p=0.100. There is a relationship between age and uterine involution p=0.00. There is a relationship between early mobilization and uterine involution p=0.00. EIB is the dominant factor affecting uterine involution in postpartum mothers. EIB is the dominant factor affecting uterine involution. Health care providers should perform EIB within the first hour after the birth of the baby to prevent sub involution in postpartum women. Keywords:  Breastfeeding, Early, Initiation, Involution, Uterine

Abstract

The President targets that by the end of 2021, the number of people vaccinated will be 70%. Meanwhile, in October 2021, the target for achieving dose 1 had only reached 43.13%. The implementation of the Covid-19 vaccination in Indonesia, especially in several outer islands of Sumatra, still faces several obstacles in the community. These obstacles include difficult storage and distribution of vaccines in island areas far from the provincial center. This research aims to evaluate the coverage achievement figures, the Covid-19 vaccine and the contribution of Partiarchy culture in Nias Island. This research is a mixed methods research with explanatory sequential design. The sampling for quantitative research using the categorical proposition formula were 338 samples and for qualitative research were 22 informant. Thus, the total number of people studied in this reasearch was 410 people over 15 years of age who permanently live on Nias Island, North Sumatra. Data collection in this research is primary data by questionnaires and in-depth interviews. Data anlaysis for quantitative data was carried out in 2 ways, namely univariate and bivariate (chi-square) analysis. Meanwhile, analysis for qualitative data uses content analysis. The research results showed that the coverage rate of the Covid-19 vaccine on Nias Island in this study was lower than reported in the Indonesian Ministry of Health data with details of dose 1 (87.9%), dose 2 (75%), and dose 3 (16.2%). The contribution of Partiarchy culture to the acceptance of the Covid-19 vaccine on Nias Island is in the form of families who are extremely partiarchy having a greater chance of not getting the vaccine than those who are normally Partiarchy. If a father (from a patriarchal family) does not want the vaccine, the whole family will follow the father's decision even if there are differences in the opinions of other family members, and vice versa. Recommendations from the results of this research are to increase the coverage rate of the Covid-19 vaccine, requiring special attention and approaches to radical partyararchy families. Keywords : Covid-19 Vaccine, Patriarchy culture

Abstract

The construction industry sectors have a significant risk of work accidents, making it one of the industries with a relatively high level of risk. According to the ILO, in 2018, 2,78 million workers died each year due to work accidents (13,7%) and diseases due to occupation (86,3%). This study aims to analyze the risk of work accidents among informal housing construction workers in Jember Regency. This type of research is quantitative descriptive research. The research was conducted in housing that is under construction which is located in Sumbersari District, Patrang District, and Kaliwates District, Jember Regency. The population in this study involved informal construction workers in Jember Regency. The population in this study included an unlimited population because easily entered by anyone and as the characteristics of informal construction do not require special skills. The sampling technique used non-probability sampling techniques, the sample calculation used quota sampling. The number of samples used was 97 respondents. The Accidental Sampling technique was used to select the samples.  Risk analysis was through the Delphi method. Based on the calculation of all the risks that exist, it is indicated that there are three hazard risks with priority status, which means that they require immediate treatment. The risk identified was the risk of falling at the roof work stage (CPE 211,22), the risk of electric shock during the electrical installation work stage (CPE 197,85), and the use of PPE during the roof work stage (CPE 184,75). There needs to be risk control concerning the hierarchy of hazard control. Keyword:  Construction, informal, work accident

Abstract

Stunting is a condition of growth failure in a child's body length of less than -2 standard deviations based on World Health Organization, standards due to manifestations of long-term malnutrition, recurrent infectious diseases, and inadequate psychosocial stimulation. The research aims to determine the analysis of factors related to the incidence of stunting in children aged 12-24 months in the Air Bangis Health Center working area in 2020. The research is a Mix Method Study with a Sequential Explanatory design carried out in the Air Bangis Health Center Working Area in 2022. This research was conducted in the Air Bangis Health Center Work Area from November to February 2023. The research quantitatively conducted a Cross-Sectional Study on children aged 12-24 months, as many as 148 people and their mothers. Measurement of body length according to age, questionnaires for quantitative data, and in-depth interviews for qualitative data. The logistic regression test determines the most dominant variable that causes stunting. There is a significant relationship between food intake (p-value=0.042), sanitation (p-value=0.013), immunization status (p-value=0.117), and maternal education (p-value=0.095) on the incidence of stunting. There is no relationship between exclusive breastfeeding, infectious diseases, hygiene and family income. The most dominant factor is food intake, with value (POR=2.220). Based on the research results, it was found that the most dominant variable was food intake. It is recommended for mothers of toddlers to pay more attention to nutritional intake during pregnancy and breastfeeding and it is recommended for health workers to provide education in the form of health education about nutritious foods to prospective pregnant mothers to pay more attention to their nutritional intake. Keywords: Intake, Nutrition, Sanitation, Stunting

Abstract

Dental health problems cannot be ignored because they will impact health. Moreover, many people often experience toothache, but only a small percentage access dental and oral health services in the New Normal era. This is based on the results of preliminary research on 112 respondents. As many as 69.60% of respondents had dental and oral health problems, but only 31.30% accessed dental and oral health services during the adaptation period to new habits. This encouraged researchers to research Community Factor Analysis of Dental Health Service Reports in the new normal era. This research aims to determine the need and demand for dental and oral health services located in Surabaya in the era of Adaptation to New Habits. This research method uses a quantitative descriptive research design. The research was conducted in Surabaya in January 2019. The sampling technique was non-random sampling. The population in the study was 3.095.026 residents of Surabaya City, so the sample for this study was 394 people. The data collection technique was carried out by filling out a questionnaire. The data obtained was then analyzed using univariate analysis using descriptive data tabulation. The research results show that the older the age, the higher the demand for dental health services (42.9%). In addition, women have higher demands than men (30.0%). Finally, negative perceptions of health greatly influence demands for dental care (63.6%). Based on the research results, respondents' use of dental and oral health services is still low, and their needs and demands still need to be met. It is recommended that oral health be promoted through social media and that this research be used to engage oral health services. Keywords: Need Dental, New Normal, Oral Health Services

Abstract

The tobacco industry continues to promote tobacco through cigarette displays, especially in areas easily accessible to youth and school students. One of the tactics that cigarette companies keep using is cigarette displays around the school area. This study aimed to determine the impact of cigarette displays around schools on cigarette sales in the school area. This study was conducted on cigarette sellers around schools in Medan City. This study was conducted on 18 cigarette sellers for 14 days. The interventions given were cigarette displays covered with cloth, cigarette displays hidden, and cigarette displays without intervention. Data analysis was conducted using an ANOVA test using JASP version 17.The results showed a difference in total sales between cloth-covered displays, hidden treatments, and no intervention (ANOVA test p = 0.015). The results showed a difference in sales profit between cloth-covered displays, hidden treatments, and no intervention (ANOVA test p = 0.004). The provision of interventions on cigarette displays treated as hidden reduced average cigarette sales in cigarette stores. Intervention in cigarette displays covered with cloth reduced average cigarette sales in cigarette stores. The Medan City Government should regulate cigarette displays at cigarette stores around the school area to reduce cigarette consumption among students. The Education Office and schools should collaborate with cigarette sellers around the school area to stop the display of cigarettes and not sell cigarettes to students. Keywords:  Cigarettes, Cigarette displays, Cigarette stores, School area

Abstract

Acne vulgaris is a common skin disease in adolescents and young adults. One factor that plays a role in the development of acne vulgaris is changes in the composition of the microbiome in the skin. The microbiome is the community of microorganisms that live on the surface of the skin and plays an important role in maintaining the ecological balance of the skin. Research on microbiome composition in acne vulgaris has been conducted using various analytical methods, including shotgun metagenomics and 16S rRNA. The aim of this study was to compare the microbiome composition in acne vulgaris using shotgun metagenomics and 16S rRNA. This research method is a literature review while data collection techniques are carried out by library studies obtained from 3 databases Pubmed, Google Scholar and Science Direct. The collected data were then analyzed using qualitative analysis. The results showed that some of the most common bacteria in acne vulgaris, such as Propionibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Staphylococcus aureus. In recent years, microbiota screening has been developed using NGS techniques using metagenomic whole genome shotgun and 16S rRNA DNA sequencing analysis. NGS techniques have been able to determine the microbiota of facial skin, and differentiate the bacterial abundance of acne-prone and healthy skin.Keywords : 16s rRNA, Acnes Vulgaris, Microbiome,  NGS

Abstract

Stunting is a picture of stunted growth caused by long-term malnutrition. The prevalence of stunting in Palangkaraya City is 23.59%, and the highest percentage of stunting in Palangkaraya City is in the Pahandut Palangkaraya Health Center (32.37%). One of the factors causing stunting is environmental sanitation facilities that do not meet health requirements. This study aims to determine the risk factors for stunting in environmental sanitation facilities in the working area of the Pahandut Palangkaraya Health Center. The type of research used is an analytical survey with a case-control design. The study was conducted in January-February 2023. The under-five population is 1,499 children. The study subjects were children aged 6-24 months, consisting of 38 stunted and 38 non-stunted children. Child body length data were measured using an infantometer and calculated using anthropometric standard deviation. Data on environmental health facilities were obtained from interviews and observations using questionnaires. The Odd Ratio test analyzed the data. Results of analysis of drinking water sources (OR=2.9, 95%CI=1.086-7.744), clown feces handling (OR=3.03, 95%CI=1.174-7.831), sewerage (OR=3.37, 95CI%=1.17 -7.831), toilet facilities (OR=3.2, 95%CI=1.23-9.23). Drinking water that does not meet health requirements is a risk factor, respondents do not have septic tanks, or sewerage is a risk factor for stunting, private wastewater disposal facilities and toilets that do not meet the requirements, and poor handling of clown faeces is a risk factor for stunting in the work area of the Pahandut Palangkaraya Health Center. Advice for public health centers is expected to monitor newborn children up to the first 1000 days of life to prevent malnutrition that causes stunting and aspects of stunting prevention in children.Keywords: Environmental, facilities, sanitation, stunting
