Abstract

Backgroud: Kangean Island is one of the islands in Sumenep Regency, Madura, East Java. Malnutrition in under-five children is still one of the main problems in the Kangean Islands. In this regard, empowering posyandu (integrated service post) cadres to carry out nutrition education independently is one of the important factors in the success of reducing this nutritional problem. Objective: This paper analyzes the effectiveness of training activities to increase the knowledge and self-efficacy of posyandu cadres on Kangean Island, Sumenep Regency. Methods: Community service was carried out on Kangean Island on July 19 and 20, 2024 in the form of two activities, namely posyandu cadre training on how to carry out nutrition education and create good nutrition education media on the first day, and the second day was a nutrition education competition jamboree. Participants were 18 posyandu cadres from four villages on Kangean Island. The activity's success was evaluated using pre- and post-test questionnaire instruments and a paired sample t-test was carried out to see the difference in the average level of knowledge and self-efficacy before and after training. In addition, from the jamboree, it can be seen to what extent the cadres can implement the training materials. Results: The average score of knowledge and self-efficacy increased after the cadre training. There was a significant difference between the pre- and post-test for the cadres' self-efficacy level in providing education and making nutritional education media (p-value 0.024). In addition, each group from each posyandu representative succeeded in becoming educators and was able to make creative nutritional education media during the cadre jamboree. Conclusion: Community service in the form of training can increase the knowledge and self-efficacy of cadres in providing nutritional education and making nutritional education media. It is hoped that cadre training to provide nutritional education and make educational media can be carried out periodically by various related institutions. Some awards can also be held to increase the enthusiasm of cadres to carry out their duties.

Abstract

Background: Contact dermatitis is a skin inflammation caused by exposure to irritants or allergens, often associated with occupational exposure. Its causes include endogenous factors, such as genetics and atopic history, as well as exogenous factors, such as chemical properties and exposure duration. This condition has a high global prevalence, particularly in tropical regions. In Indonesia, dermatitis ranks third among the top ten skin diseases, with most cases being work-related. Contact dermatitis is classified into Irritant Contact Dermatitis (ICD) and Allergic Contact Dermatitis (ACD), with risk factors including exposure duration, use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and history of skin diseases. High-risk industries include manufacturing, construction, and printing. Objective: Analyzing the factors of work duration and history of atopy that contribute to the risk of contact dermatitis among workers at the hand-rolled cigarette factory Mitra Produksi Sigaret Koperasi Unit Desa (MPS KUD) Tani Mulyo, Lamongan. Method: The study is an analytical research with a cross-sectional study design. Bivariate analysis was conducted using the chi-square test and the Mann-Whitney U test. The sampling technique used was total sampling, with the study population consisting of all production workers at a hand-rolled cigarette factory in Turi District, Lamongan Regency, in 2022. The total sample size was 81 participants. The analysis instruments used included questionnaires, medical examination sheets, and observation sheets. Results: The results of this analysis show that 49 individuals (60.5%) experienced contact dermatitis among hand-rolled cigarette production workers, with the most common cause being endogenous factors related to individual susceptibility. The analysis also demonstrates that the variables significantly associated with contact dermatitis are a history of atopy (p=0.000) and length of employment (p=0.000). Conclusions: This analysis proves that there is a significant association between atopy history and length of service with the incidence of contact dermatitis in workers at MPS KUD Tani Mulyo. These findings emphasise the need for special prevention and protection efforts for high-risk workers, especially those with a history of atopy and a long working life.

Abstract

Background: Premarital sexual behavior refers to sexual activities conducted without the formal process of marriage, as recognized by law, religion, or belief systems. Premarital sexual behavior has become a phenomenon and a growing issue commonly encountered in society. Such behavior is feared to contribute to sexually transmitted diseases, and unwanted pregnancies, and may encourage child marriage practices. The Health Belief Model can predict individuals in making health-related decisions, including the prevention of premarital sexual behavior. Objectives: This study aims to analyze the determinants of premarital sexual behavior among adolescents based on the Health Belief Model. Methods: This study was descriptive quantitative research using a cross-sectional design. The sample used was 90 respondents from 10th and 11th grade students, who were randomly selected using proportional random sampling within a one-month period. Data collection with questionnaires related to premarital sexual behaviour based on Health Belief Model components in high schools in Gresik Regency. This study uses SPSS analysis with the chi-square test. Result: The results showed that 4.4% of respondents engaged in premarital sexual behavior. The perceived severity value was p=0.005, perceived barriers value was p=0.006, perceived susceptibility (p=1.000), perceived benefits (p=1.000), perceived self-efficacy (p=0.050), and cues to action (p=1.000). Conclusions: The study concludes that is a significant relationship between perceived severity and perceived barriers to premarital sexual behavior among adolescents. However, perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, perceived self-efficacy, and cues to action do not have a significant relationship with premarital sexual behavior among adolescents. It is suggested that adolescents enhance their understanding of premarital sexual behavior by seeking accurate and reliable information, and by choosing friends and social environments wisely to avoid negative influences or the desire to engage in premarital sexual behavior.

Abstract

Background: The rapid growth of e-commerce in Indonesia has increased the demand for delivery services, primarily from online buyers and sellers. This surge elevates couriers' workload, leading to prolonged work hours and unstable conditions (extreme weather exposure, and inconsistent delivery targets), which contribute to stress. Persistent work stress negatively affects productivity, quality of life, and physical and mental health. Objectives: To analyze the relationship between workload and job stress in couriers, and determine the relationship between external and internal factors of work stress in couriers. Methods: This study employed a literature review method, utilizing national and international articles that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The selected journal articles were from research published in the last five years (2020-2025) and were sourced from databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. The data search strategy applied the PICO method (Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcomes) using keywords combined with Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) to refine or expand the search. Results: The results of data search through the screening stage found a total of seven articles, namely four national articles and three international articles. The results of the search for these seven articles prove that as many as 85.7% indicate a relationship between workload and work stress in couriers. Conclusions: Based on the comparative analysis of the number of articles found and selected, there is a relationship between workload and work stress in couriers. External factors of high work demands with long working hours can cause work stress which can interfere with workers' work.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia still faces quite serious nutritional problems, especially in children, because the first five years of a child's life are very vulnerable to nutritional problems. Therefore, balanced nutritional needs for toddlers must be met properly. Nutritional problems that arise are always related to food intake factors in children. If balanced nutritional needs in toddlers are not met properly, they can experience nutritional disorders such as malnutrition. Objectives: To analyze the effect of nutritional assistance on the knowledge of mothers of toddlers, the level of energy consumption, zinc, and vitamin C of wasting toddlers. Methods: This study is a quasi-experimental study targeting toddlers aged 12 to 59 months. Respondents were taken using the non-probability sampling method, namely total sampling. The data collected included the knowledge of mothers of toddlers taken with a questionnaire, the level of energy consumption, zinc, and vitamin C obtained by filling out the 24-Hour Food Recall form. The study was conducted by providing intervention in the form of nutritional assistance three times within three weeks. Data analysis tests used the paired t test, Wilcoxon signed rank, independent t-test, Mann Whitney U test. Results: Nutritional assistance on the knowledge of mothers of toddlers before and after in the treatment group (p=0.003) had a more significant effect than in the control group (p=0.011). Then the level of consumption before and after in the treatment group also had a significant effect, namely energy (p<0.001), zinc (p=0.006), and vitamin C (p=0.004). However, the level of consumption before and after in the control group did not have a significant effect, namely energy (p=0.583), zinc (p=0.366), and vitamin C (p=0.534). Conclusion: Nutritional assistance can affect the knowledge of mothers of toddlers, consumption of energy, zinc, and vitamin C of toddlers before and after the intervention in the treatment group. Meanwhile, in the control group it only affected the knowledge of mothers of toddlers.

Abstract

Background: Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) during adolescence can have serious long-term consequences, not only compromising individual health but also increasing the risk of complications during future pregnancies. Local food sources such as moringa oleifera leaves offer a promising strategy to address this issue, given their high iron content. Developing practical, acceptable forms such as cookies and capsules may provide holistic solutions for improving hemoglobin levels. Although both preparations have been shown to significantly enhance hemoglobin levels within the same intervention period, differences in their composition, production methods, and potential iron bioavailability warrant further comparison. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of moringa-based cookies and capsules in improving hemoglobin levels among adolescent girls diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia. Method: A quasi-experimental study was conducted in 2024 among 53 female high school students selected through purposive sampling. Hemoglobin concentrations were measured using the Easy Touch GCHb device. Paired t-tests were used to assess changes within each group, and independent t-tests were applied to compare outcomes between groups. Results: The study proved that the mean hemoglobin level in the moringa cookies group increased to 12.52 g/dL (p=0.002), while the capsule group showed an increase to 12.20 g/dL (p=0.001). However, no significant difference was observed between the two interventions (p=0.412). Conclusion: Both moringa cookies and capsules effectively improved hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls with iron deficiency anemia. Nevertheless, there was no significant difference in the extent of improvement between the two forms of supplementation.
