Abstract

Malaria is an infectious disease caused by the genus Plasmodium transmitted to humans through the bite of a female Anopheles mosquito. Epidemiologically, conditions arise due to three crucial factors: Host, Agent, and Environmental. Environmental factors related to Malaria consist of wall density, the use of wire netting, and the presence of mosquito breeding places. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between factors of wall density, use of wire netting, and the company of mosquito breeding places with the incidence of Malaria. This type of research was an analytical survey with a case-control study design. Specific and intensive education is necessary to raise community awareness of Malaria's environmental determinants. In April, this research was conducted in Tenateke Village, Tenateke Health Center Working Area, Wewewa Selatan District, Southwest Sumba Regency. The research population was the people of Tenateke Village, who experienced cases of Malaria among as many as 65 people and 65 controls. Data was collected by using interview and observation techniques. The results of this study indicated that wall density (p-value = 0.000), use of wire netting (0.006), and the presence of mosquito breeding sites (p-value = 0.001) had a significant relationship with the incidence of Malaria.

Abstract

COVID-19 is a disease that attacks the respiratory tract caused by a virus that spreads through droplets or a sprinkling of phlegm. Implementation of health protocols arises to prevent COVID-19’s spreading. The behavior of traders in the market who do not follow health protocols can facilitate the transmission of COVID-19. To break the chain of COVID-19 distribution, knowledge, attitude, and action are needed. This study aims to describe knowledge, attitudes, and activities avoiding the spread of COVID-19. The design of this study uses the descriptive survey method. Data collection was taken using a total sampling technique or taken as a whole from a total population of 120 people. Analysis of the data used is univariable analysis. Based on the results of the study, it is known that the knowledge is in a suitable category, namely 55 people (45,8%), good category 45 people (37,5%), and less type 20 people ( 16,7%). The attitude is in the negative category for as many as 75 people (62,5%) and the positive category for as many as 45 people (37,5%). The actions in the Poor category, as many as 74 people (61.7%), and in the excellent category, as many as 46 people (38.3%).

Abstract

This study aims to determine the implementation of health operational assistance funds based on input, process, output, and outcome. This research is descriptive with a qualitative approach and narrative data analysis using univariate statistics. This research was conducted at the Health Centers of Oebobo, Sikumana, and Penfui. There were nine informants, namely the manager and the person in charge of the health operational assistance community health centers program. The study results describe that, in general, the inputs, processes, outputs, and outcomes have not gone well. Input disbursement of operational assistance funds is often late; Community health centers are also not competent in handling finances; there are multiple tasks outside of their competence, which increases the workload. In the process, the community health centers made POA, conducted mini-workshops, and conducted cross-program/cross-sector meetings but encountered problems implementing the MCH program and compiling SPJ reports. Output indicators of program success are still low; out of ten indicators, only two indicators reach the maximum percentage, namely, hands of obstetric complications handled at the community health centers (80%) and coverage of active family planning participants (70%). Outcome Health operational assistance funds can improve maternal and child health and help suppress MMR and IMR; from year to year, the cases have decreased even though the number is still far from the national average. It is recommended to have competent human resources in managing health operational assistance funds and the need for innovations so that program implementation can occur correctly in a pandemic.

Abstract

Stunting is an impaired physical and cognitive growth posed by a chronically inadequate intake and repeated chronic infections. In 2018, 1,298 cases ranked Tarus Health Center as the health center with the most stunting cases in Kupang Regency. In 2019, it fell to 416 points and rose to 538 topics in 2020. Noelbaki Village contributes to the high stunting incidence, with 49 cases in children aged 6-24 months. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with stunting in children aged 6-24 months in Noelbaki Village. This study is an analytical study with a case-control design performed in 98 samples with a ratio of 1:1, with 49 children as the case group and 49 as the control group. The sampling technique used was total sampling, using chi-square test analysis. The results show that nutritional intake (OR=9,750, 95%CI 3,483-24,737; p=0,000) was the most factor attributed to the incidence of stunting, followed by complementary feeding (OR=8,538 95%CI 3,441-21,190; p=0,000) exclusive breastfeeding (OR=7,654 95%CI 3,028-19,351; p=0,000) and infectious diseases (OR=6.923 95%CI 2.852-16.804; p=0,000) while immunization status and basic sanitation were not contributing factors to stunting incidence. Health agencies are expected to be able to engage with the community in efforts to improve nutritional quality by focusing on the movement of exclusive breastfeeding and complementary feeding and the prevention of infectious diseases in children.

Abstract

RSUD Ben Mboi Ruteng is one of the health service facilities in Manggarai. This hospital has not been able to meet the needs of patients because it is still experiencing a shortage of beds, health workers, and medicines; indicators have yet to reach the target, programs have not been running, and services have not been maximized. The inability of the hospital to provide services according to patient needs impacts patient dissatisfaction with the quality of hospital inpatient services. This study aimed to describe the level of patient satisfaction with five dimensions of health service quality: reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, and tangible in the Flamboyant Room of RSUD Ben Mboi Ruteng. This research is quantitative descriptive research with a public opinion survey research design. The data was collected using observation, literature, and documentation by measuring 80 respondents. Samples were obtained using the purposive sampling method and data analysis by univariate. The results showed that most of the respondents were satisfied with reliability (78,8%), assurance (86,2%), empathy (73,8%), and tangible (87,5%), while the responsiveness mostly felt dissatisfied (61,25%). The hospital must follow up on health services, especially in responsiveness. The house must improve services that have not been maximized, such as allowing patients to ask questions and explain about the disease by providing exceptional training on ethics or doctor's behavior in providing health services so that patients are satisfied with the services offered.

Abstract

Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive as a result of chronic malnutrition in children under five. In 2018, Kupang Regency was one of the districts that was included in the priority area for handling stunting with 34.5% stunting cases, the highest being in the working area of ​​the Tarus Health Center, which has 306 stunting toddlers. This study aims to determine the factors that influence the incidence of stunting in working area of ​​the Tarus Health Center. This type of research is an analytic survey with a case control study design. The number of samples was 150 children under five who were selected by systematic random sampling. Data collection was done by means of observation and structured interviews using a questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using chi-square test (bivariable) and multiple logistic regression (multivariable) with (a) = 0.05. The results showed that the factors which influenced the incidence of stunting were the level of parental income (p= 0.014), the level of knowledge at maternal nutrition (p= 0.011), big family (p= 0.022), feeding practices (p= 0.011), the level of nutritional adequacy energy (p= 0.033), and protein adequacy level (p= 0.000). The dominant factors of stunting that have the most influence are the level of protein adequacy, the level of parental income, feeding practices, and big family.
