The use of masks is part of a series of comprehensive precautions to minimize the transmission of COVID-19. The use of shows aims to protect healthy people when in contact with an infected person and control the source to prevent further information. The use of masks in preventing COVID-19 is listed in health protocols, including keeping a distance (at least 2 meters) and washing hands using soap. This study aims to see an overview of the use of masks to prevent COVID-19 in public places based on the predisposition factor and actions of visitors at the Oebobo Bus Terminal in Kupang City. The research informant consisted of 9 people, including eight key informants, namely the driver and passenger of the bus, and one supporting informant, namely terminal employees. The informant was selected using purposive sampling techniques. This study uses descriptive qualitative methods. The results showed that informants have good knowledge regarding masks in preventing COVID-19. Meanwhile, the attitude of informants in responding to the recommendations of using masks varies; some respond positively, some with negative attitudes; this is due to the informant's lack of belief in the risk of transmission of COVID-19. For using masks, the results showed that most informants had applied well to each component of the action. The government should be active in understanding the importance of COVID-19 prevention so that informant attitudes can change positively

Abstract

The consumption pattern is one of the direct factors of nutritional status. The amount, type, and frequency of daily food consumption could affect intelligence, body resistance to diseases, and work productivity. This study analyzed the influence of socio-economic and cultural factors on food consumption patterns. This study used a cross-sectional design with 139 homemakers selected using the simple random sampling technique. The research was conducted in Oemasi Village, Nekamese Sub-District, Kupang District, from March to April 2020. The statistical test used was a multiple logistic regression test with alpha= 0.05. The research found that mother's education (p-value = 0.025) and family income (p-value = 0.003) affected food consumption patterns (p-value = 0.025, 0.003, consecutively), while mother's occupation, the number of household members, dietary restrictions, staple food preferences, and feeding priority had no effect on food consumption patterns (p-value =0.70, 0.63, 0.34, 1.08, and 0.85, respectively). Health workers should regularly educate local people about the importance of good and healthy food consumption patterns.

Abstract

Stunting is a health problem in Indonesia, with the prevalence of stunting in children under five reaching 30.8%. Stunting is a condition of failure of growth and development of children under five due to a lack of nutritional intake for a long time. Stunting is caused by the provision of food that is not following nutritional needs so that the child grows too short for his age. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors associated with the incidence of stunting in the working area of ​​the Palla Community Health Center, Southwest Sumba Regency. This type of research was an analytic survey with a case-control study design, carried out from December 2020-January 2021. The sample size in this study was divided into two, namely 48 case respondents and 48 control respondents. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate. The results showed that variables, namely parents' income level, mother's education level, mother's level of knowledge, history of infectious disease, and consumption pattern, were associated with stunting incidence (p-value<0.05) in the working area Palla Community Health Center. Therefore, an active role from families of children under five, especially mothers, and the role of health workers in stunting prevention efforts is necessary to curb stunting.

Abstract

The HIRARC (Hazard Identification Risk Assessment and Risk Control) is a method of identification, hazard analysis, risk control, and the application of controls used to review processes or operations on a system. This type of research was qualitative with an in-depth interview technique, which was then summarized in a transcript and analyzed using a research form and a risk assessment matrix. This research was conducted in Laicici, Kangeli Village, Lewa Tidahu District, East Sumba Regency. Informants in this study were workers at the stone cutting site, as many as six. Determining the informants in this study used a purposive sampling technique. The results showed that each stage of work undertaken to produce a stone ready for use at the Laicici stone cutting site, Kangeli Village, had different dangers and risks. The low-risk level was the risk of falling and hearing loss. The moderate risk was a pain in the lower back and being pinched and crushed by stones. High risk was found in the risk of slipping, fatigue, working time > 8 hours per day, dehydration and heat-related illness, and the risk of eye irritation. The extreme risk was the risk of fatigue caused by working more than 8 hours every day and the risk of injury caused by sharp work tools. Controls that can be carried out to reduce or eliminate the hazards and risks at the stone cutting site for stone cutting workers are substitution, administrative control, engineering control, and the use of self-protective gears

Abstract

The nutritional status of pregnant women greatly affects the growth of the fetus is conceived. Pregnant women will give birth to a healthy baby at full term with a normal weight if they have good nutritional status before and during pregnancy. However, the nutritional status of pregnant women in the North Middle East District stunting locus is still not good. This study aimed to determine the effects of income levels, education levels, consumption patterns of pregnant women, and personal hygiene on the nutritional status of pregnant women in the North Middle East Regency stunting locus. This type of research is a quantitative study using a cross-sectional design. The sample consists of 45 pregnant women with a total sampling technique. The data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the chi-square test. The results showed that factors moreover influenced the nutritional status of pregnant women were the consumption pattern of pregnant women (p-value= 0,015), and personal hygiene (p-value= 0,023), while the factors that did not affect were income level (p-value= 0,931) and education level (p-value= 0,365). Lastly, pregnant women are expected to pay more attention to nutritional status and consumption patterns by consuming balanced nutritious foods and maintaining personal hygiene during pregnancy to prevent the occurrence of malnutrition status in mother's pregnancy.
