Abstract

The hospital is a complex health service institution that needs to implement worker health and safety efforts. Work accidents often experienced by nurses are needlestick injuries. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with work accidents, including knowledge, attitudes, actions, K3RS information, and K3RS supervision of nurses in the inpatient room of BLUD RSU dr. Ben Mboi Ruteng in 2019. This research is quantitative research with a cross-sectional study design. The research population was nurses in the inpatient room. The sample size was 113 nurses taken by simple random sampling. The data analysis used was Chi-square with α = 0,05 (5%). The results showed that the majority of nurses were aged 30-50 years old (80,5%), D3 education level (85,8%), and tenure of 10-20 years (47,8%). Variables related to work accidents on nurses were K3RS information (p-value = 0.008), and K3RS supervision (p-value = 0.028), while knowledge (p-value = 0.170), attitude (p-value = 1,000), and actions (p-value = 0.075) were not related to work accidents. Regular training and supervision are vital to prevent workplace accidents for nurses.

Abstract

Age 0-24 months (baduta) is a period of rapid growth and development, called a golden and critical period. Baduta nutritional health condition depends on the level of consumption, determined by the food quality. Nutritional quality indicates the presence of all nutrients needed by the body and emphasizes food diversity. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with the consumption pattern of baduta in the stunting locus area. This type of research is quantitative research with an observational approach using the Cross-Sectional Study design. This research was conducted in 10 villages in the stunting locus region of TTU with a sample of 178 baduta determined using the total sampling method. Analysis of the data used univariate and bivariate analysis with Chi-Square statistical tests. The study results indicated that factors related to the consumption pattern of baduta were family income (ρ= 0,037) and the number of family members (ρ= 0,033), while the unrelated factor was maternal education. This study suggests improving maternal education

Abstract

Malnutrition is a condition of nutritional deficiencies due to lack of nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins needed by the body. Several factors affect malnutrition, including the level of mother’s education, family income level, knowledge level of energy sufficiency, level adequacy of protein, and infectious diseases. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors that affect the incidence of malnutrition. This study is an observational analytic, with a case-control design, the sample size is 42 respondents for cases, and 42 respondents for controls. Dependent variables in this research are the incidence of malnutrition level, level of family income, mothers' level of knowledge, level of energy sufficiency, level of protein adequacy, and infectious diseases. Data analysis used chi square and simple logistic regression. The result showed that five variables affect the incidence of malnutrition. These five variables are family income (p= 0,000; OR-6,400), the level of mother’s knowledge (p=0,000; OR=5,577), the level of energy sufficiency (p=0,000; OR=7,333), protein adequacy level (p=0,000; OR=3,676), and infectious diseases (p=0,000; OR =3,600). Health staff should provide a comprehensive explanation about balanced nutrition in the family and distribute health promotion media, such as leaflets to families.

Abstract

Premarital sexual behavior is any behavior driven by sexual desire, whether alone, with the opposite sex, or with the same sex without marital ties. East Nusa Tenggara Province Indonesian Planning Families Association (PKBI) found that 31% of teenagers in Kupang City had sexual intercourse before marriage. The effects of sexual behavior before marriage are unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. The purpose of this study was to describe the factors causing premarital sexual behavior in correctional students before undergoing a period of detention at the Youth Detention Center Class I Kupang. This research was descriptively quantitative. The sample was all 34 teenagers at the youth detention center drawn by a total sampling method. The results showed that only 23,5% of respondents had good knowledge about sexuality. The family support of the respondents was sufficient (55.9%). The majority was exposed to internet media (79.4%) and had a negative peer influence on sexuality (78.4%). Furthermore, most of the respondents engaged in a high risk of premarital sexual behavior (79.4%). Relevant authorities should provide correctional students comprehensive education about premarital sexual behavior.

Abstract

The main contributor to the decline in life expectancy in low-income countries is acute respiratory tract infections (ARIs/ISPA). Risk factors of ISPA events consist of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. This research purposed to analyze the risk factors of ISPA incidence in the working area of Puskesmas Inerie. This research was descriptive-analytical research with a cross-sectional design. Data collection employed interviews with 88 mothers who have toddlers, obtained by simple random sampling technique. Data analysis used a chi-square test. The data analysis results showed that the four research variables, namely nutritional status, occupancy, ventilation, and smoking behavior, related to ISPA incidence with p-value=0.000, 0.000, 0.001, and 0.01 consecutively. Poor home conditions lead to an increased risk of ISPA disease in toddlers. Therefore, the local community should improve the physical condition of the house and the nutritional status of toddlers in the working area of Puskesmas Inerie.
