Health is an important element in human life. Utilization of health services is any effort carried out individually or together, in an organization to maintain and improve health, prevent and cure illnesses and restore the health of individuals, families, groups and communities. The utilization of health services in the community in the working area of the Wee Luri Health Center, Central Sumba Regency, is still relatively lacking due to the community's perception of illness. People come to the Wee Luri Health Center when the illness is severe enough. The community assumes that the public health center is for those whose illness is severe in the sense that they are unable to get up from bed This study aimed to determine the factors influencing the utilization of health services in the Wee Luri Health Center working area, Central Sumba Regency, in 2020. Using a descriptive survey and cross-sectional design, the study involved 153 families, with family heads selected through simple random sampling. Data analysis using the Chi-Square test (α = 0.05) revealed significant relationships between education (p = 0.028), insurance ownership (p = 0.001), accessibility (p = 0.010), knowledge (p = 0.005), and perception of illness (p = 0.040) with health service utilization.Wee Luri Health Center needs to further improve health promotion and the quality of health services in order to increase public knowledge and provide comprehensive and integrated services.

This study aimed to describe the characteristics of mothers of children under five who participated in posyandu activities in the working area of Tarus Health Center in 2022. The study used a descriptive method with a cross-sectional design, involving 97 mothers of children aged 0–60 months selected through purposive sampling from a population of 3,675 registered at posyandu. The results showed that 52.5% of respondents actively visited posyandu, while 47.4% were inactive. Most mothers were aged 21–25 years (36.1%), had a high school education (41.2%), and were housewives (51.5%).

Community knowledge and attitudes can significantly influence public actions in maintaining the cleanliness of river basins. Good knowledge about river basins (DAS) can foster awareness and promote positive attitudes toward preserving river cleanliness. This study aims to understand the relationship between community knowledge and attitudes regarding the cleanliness of the Osmo Batugang River Basin in Alak Subdistrict, Kupang City. Data were collected through interviews. The data analysis employed descriptive and bivariate methods. The results revealed a significant correlation between knowledge and actions to maintain river cleanliness (p = 0.046 < 0.05), as well as a significant relationship between community attitudes and actions to maintain river cleanliness (p = 0.000 < 0.05).

Abstract

Long-acting contraceptive methods (LACMs) have a higher level of effectiveness compared to other family planning methods. The coverage of LACM acceptors in the working area of Aimere Health Center from 2019 to 2021 has shown a significant increase, with implants being the most commonly used method (57.14%), while the use of IUDs remains very low (2.43%). This study aims to describe the characteristics of LACM acceptors in the working area of Aimere Health Center, Ngada Regency. A quantitative descriptive method with a survey design was employed. The study population included 566 LACM acceptors, and a sample of 85 respondents was selected using a simple random sampling technique. The data were analyzed using frequency distribution. The results showed that the majority of LACM acceptors used implants, accounting for 67 respondents (78.8%). Most of the acceptors were aged 36–49 years (54 respondents, 64.7%), had completed senior high school (36 respondents, 42.4%), worked as farmers (53 respondents, 62.4%), had more than two children (59 respondents, 69.4%), and had low knowledge about LACMs (50 respondents, 58.8%). It is recommended that health workers enhance educational outreach in communities to improve public knowledge about contraceptive methods and dispel negative perceptions associated with long-acting contraceptive methods such as IUDs and sterilization.
