Abstract

Background: Toddler diarrhea is a major Indonesian health concern. Toddler diarrhea rates differ in the 2021 SSGI data. West Sulawesi, NTB, and Maluku have the most diarrhea. This study investigates the causes of Indonesian toddler diarrhea. Objectives: This research is intended to systematically analyze host-related determinants that contribute to the occurrence of diarrhea in Indonesian toddlers from 2021 to 2025. Methods: PRISMA 2020 guided systematic reviews. Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and PubMed provided data. Eight 2021–2025 studies examined Indonesian toddler diarrhea risk variables. Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and internal validation questions rated quality. Results: From the screening process, eight studies were determined to satisfy the inclusion criteria.  The synthesis of these studies showed that several host characteristics, including toddler’s age, practice of exclusive breastfeeding, and immunization completeness, show a meaningful association with diarrhea prevalence among young children in Indonesia. Conclusion: Age, exclusive breastfeeding, and immunization status significantly affected Indonesian toddler diarrhea incidence, although nutritional condition and gender did not.

Abstract

Background: Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a prevalent digestive disorder among university students. The factors included impaired lifestyle habits, including inadequate sleep, elevated stress, and unhealthy eating patterns. Objective: To examine the correlation between sleep quality, stress levels, and eating patterns with the incidence of GERD among university students in Yogyakarta. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to April 2025 in PGRI Yogyakarta University, involving 410 university students. We used validated questionnaires for data collection, including the GERD-Q, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales (DASS-21), and an eating pattern questionnaire. We used chi-square tests and correlation tests with a 5% level of significance for the statistical analysis. Results: About 20% of respondents were identified as having GERD symptoms. Students with poor sleep quality were 2.94 times to develop GERD (p=0.001). There was a strong association between stress levels and GERD (p<0.001; r=0.382). Students who have disordered eating were 3.2 times more likely to get GERD (p=0.000). Conclusion: The prevalence of GERD among university students is significantly associated with poor sleep quality, increased stress levels, and disordered eating patterns. Health education aimed at promoting lifestyle changes plays a crucial role in preventing GERD among university students.

Abstract

Background: The double burden of malnutrition, including rising obesity rates, has become a global health challenge, including in Indonesia. In 2024, 23.4% of Indonesian adults were classified as obese, exceeding the national target of 21.8%. Papuan students pursuing higher education in Surabaya City face a similar situation, which is closely linked to unbalanced dietary habits and inadequate nutritional intake. Objectives: This study aims to analyze the relationship between balanced nutrition, nutrient intake, and nutritional status among Papuan college students in Surabaya City. Methods: This quantitative observational study employed a cross-sectional design. A total of 97 Papuan students enrolled in universities in Surabaya City were selected using probability sampling. Data collected included respondent characteristics, height, weight, dietary patterns, and nutrient intake. Dietary patterns were assessed using a 5-point scoring system based on Isi Piringku compliance. Data were gathered through questionnaires and 24-hour dietary recalls. Chi-square and Spearman’s rho tests were used for statistical analysis. Results: The findings showed that most respondents were 19 years old (24.7%), female (56.7%), and had a monthly allowance greater than IDR 1,000,000 (66%). More than half of the respondents had imbalanced dietary patterns, excessive nutrient intake, and were categorized as obese. There were significant relationships between dietary patterns (p=0.001; r=0.017), nutrient intake (p=0.001; r=0.869), and nutritional status among Papuan university students. Conclusion: This study concludes that balanced dietary patterns and adequate nutrient intake are associated with nutritional status. The more inappropriate the dietary intake, the higher the risk of abnormal nutritional status. Efforts to increase nutrition knowledge among Papuan students are necessary to promote healthy and balanced eating behaviors.

Abstract

Background: The government is committed to meeting the basic health needs of the Indonesian people through the National Health Insurance (JKN) Program ensuring access to health services without financial burdens. The implementation of the inpatient class system is considered suboptimal, so the government has implemented the Standard Inpatient Class (KRIS) policy to ensure equitable health services for all people in accordance with the principle of equity. This policy requires hospitals to meet 12 specified criteria no later than June 30, 2025. The process of preparing and implementing the policy presents various challenges, so further research is needed. Objectives: This study aims to identify the challenges faced by hospitals during in implementing the Standard Inpatient Class (KRIS) policy. Methods: A literature review was conducted using Google Scholar as the primary database, by analyzing nine articles that meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The results of the study found that the main challenges for hospitals in the process of implementing the KRIS policy infrastructure that fails to meet the required criteria due to budget limitations, the absence of regulations on the health financing system and KRIS rates, the lack of health human resources, and limited understanding of KRIS. In addition, the uneven dissemination of policies to hospital staff and the community also becomes an obstacle in implementing the policy. Conclusion: The implementation of standard inpatient class policies presents challenges for hospitals. These challenges can be found both in the preparation process and during policy implementation. The results of the study found that the readiness of facilities and infrastructure, lack of budget, uncertainty in the health financing system, health human resources and policy dissemination are aspects that are challenges for hospitals. These challenges must be managed so that the objectives of policy implementation can be achieved.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis remains a major public health problem in Indonesian. The Indonesian TB control program for the 2020–2024 period aims to accelerate the achievement of national TB elimination by 2030 and contribute to ending the global TB epidemic by 2050, aligning with the WHO's End TB Strategy. As part of this national strategy, the government has implemented various interventions, including the provision of Tuberculosis Preventive Therapy (TPT) to high-risk groups and improvements in the Treatment Success Rate (TSR). Objectives: This research aims to analyze the trends and the correlation between TPT and TSR with the incidence of tuberculosis, measured through the Case Notification Rate (CNR) at the provincial level during 2021-2023. Methods: This research is an ecological study using quantitative methods. The data in this research are based on tuberculosis prevention reports from the Directorate of Disease Prevention and Control, Ministry of Health of Indonesia, from 2021 to 2023. The variables analyzed in this research are TPT coverage and TSR with CNR in 2021-2023. Results: The study results show an increasing trend in CNR in Indonesian provinces for three consecutive years. Furthermore, TPT coverage has also increased, although it remains relatively low, and TSR shows variation across provinces. Spearman's analysis indicates a correlation between TPT, TSR, and CNR. However, the correlations are weak and mostly negative. Conclusion: TPT coverage and TSR in Indonesia showed improvement during 2021–2023, although disparities remained between provinces. The weak correlations between TPT, TSR, and incidence rates indicate that prevention and treatment interventions have not yet fully impacted the reduction of new cases. Strengthening case detection, enhancing contact tracing, and expanding TPT are needed to accelerate the decline in TB incidence nationally.

Abstract

Background: Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) is a significant nutritional issue affecting women of reproductive age, including future brides. This condition can have negative effects on reproductive health and the well-being of future descent. CED often arises from insufficient nutrient intake and negative perceptions of body image, which can result in unhealthy eating behaviors. In Bandung City, the Cibiru District has the highest prevalence of malnutrition among future brides. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between body image perception and nutrient adequacy (energy, protein, fat, and carbohydrate) with the incidence of chronic energy deficiency among future brides. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design and involved 41 respondents who were recruited through consecutive sampling. Data collection included Measuring Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC), conducting 2x24-hour food recall interviews, and administering the MBSRQ-AS. The dataset was examined using both univariate and bivariate analyses, with Pearson’s and Spearman’s correlation tests employed to assess relationships. Results: Among the respondents, 29.3% were identified as experiencing chronic energy deficiency, while over half reported a positive body image. However, most respondents did not meet the recommended intake levels for energy and macronutrients. Of all the variables assessed, only adequate fat intake was significantly related to chronic energy deficiency in future brides (p=0.029; r=0.341). Conclusion: Adequate fat intake is weakly positively related to chronic energy deficiency among future brides. No significant associations were observed between chronic energy deficiency and body image perception or the adequacy of energy, protein, and carbohydrate intake. Therefore, future brides are recommended to meet their nutritional needs, especially fat intake from healthy sources such as mackerel, skipjack tuna, sardines, avocado, and peanuts, to prevent the occurrence of Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED).

Abstract

Background: Wasting is a manifestation of chronic malnutrition, with low weight for height. The city of Palembang, especially the operational area of Makrayu Health Center, recorded second-highest prevalence of wasting in Palembang by 54 out of 4.396 toddlers experiencing wasting (1.22%). Local nutrition intervention, such as local food-based supplementary feeding, becomes a focal strategy to solve this problem. Objectives: The effect of biscuits made of snakehead fish and potato flour on the body weight in wasted toddlers was measured. Methods: This research is a quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design without a control group. The sample consisted of 33 toddlers aged 12-59 months who were wasting in the Makrayu Palembang Health Center work area. The intervention, in the form of providing snakehead fish biscuits and potato starch, was carried out for 14 days. Data were collected through body weight measurements before and after the intervention and assessment of nutrient intake using the 24-hour recall method. Data were analyzed using a dependent t-test. Results: Giving snakehead fish biscuits and potato starch showed a significant increase in body weight in wasting toddlers after the intervention, with an average increase of 0.32 kg. In addition, there was an increase in energy, protein, fat, and carbohydrate intake, which supported the improvement of nutritional status. Conclusion: There is an effect of giving snakehead fish biscuits and potato starch on the weight gain of wasting toddlers in the Makrayu Palembang Health Center work area (p=0.000).

Abstract

Background: Occupational ergonomics is directly related to all work activities (both formal and informal) and focuses on the interaction between people and their work environment to reduce musculoskeletal injuries and improve worker well-being.   Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of occupational ergonomics on the prevalence of low back pain among Indonesian workers aged 15–49 years. Methods: This study used secondary data from the Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) 2024, applying the Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) approach to measure the risk level of low back pain caused by occupational ergonomics. Results: The analysis revealed a substantial disparity in the burden of Low Back Pain (LBP) attributed to occupational ergonomics across provinces. West Java, East Java, and Central Java recorded the highest disease burden (DALYs). Meanwhile, the provinces with the highest ergonomic risk exposure levels (Summary Exposure Value/SEV) were North Maluku (29.48%), Maluku (29.27%), and East Nusa Tenggara (29.21%). North Kalimantan consistently showed the lowest exposure levels and disease burden. Conclusion: Workplace ergonomics substantially contributes to the burden of Low Back Pain (LBP) among workers. Large regional disparities (highest in Java and Maluku/NTT) underscore the need for more targeted health actions. Priority interventions should include strict regulation enforcement, workplace monitoring, and implementation of ergonomic solutions in high-risk industrial sectors to reduce DALYs.

Abstract

Background: Nutritional problems among junior high school adolescents in Indonesia remain high due to a lack of knowledge about balanced nutrition, which is caused by suboptimal counseling due to the use of less interactive methods. Modifications to more interactive methods, such as pop-up demonstrations and card games, are needed. Objectives: To determine the difference in effectiveness between the pop-up demonstration and card game methods in improving students knowledge about balanced nutrition at SMP Negeri 44 Semarang. Methods: A quantitative method with a true-experimental design of two-group pretest-posttest without control and a proportional stratified random sampling technique. The sample consisted of 64 ninth-grade students, with each group consisting of 32 students. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon test to determine the difference in knowledge before and after the counseling of each method, as well as the Mann-Whitney test to determine the difference in effectiveness of the two methods. The instruments needed for this study are a balanced nutrition tumpeng pop-up, game cards, and a 30-question pretest-posttest questionnaire. Results: Before the pop-up demonstration method, only 5 (15.6%) of the sample were in the good category, which increased to 20 (62.5%) after the pop-up demonstration method. There was a difference in student knowledge before and after the pop-up demonstration method (p<0.001). Before the card game method, only 7 (21.9%) of the sample were in the good category, which increased to 20 (62.5%) after the card game method. There was a difference in student knowledge before and after the card game method (p<0.001). There was no difference in effectiveness between the pop-up demonstration and card game methods (significance 0.478>0.05). Based on the mean rank, the pop-up demonstration method was more effective. Conclusion: The pop-up demonstration method and the card game were equally effective in increasing student knowledge.

Abstract

Background: The management of hazardous and toxic materials is an essential component of Hospital Occupational Safety and Health standards. In addition, it is included in the Hospital Accreditation Standards, specifically in Facility and Safety Management Standard No. 5. However, in practice, some hospitals—including Hospital X—still do not meet these requirements. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the implementation of facility and safety management standard elements related to hazardous and toxic materials at Hospital X in order to provide appropriate recommendations for improvement. Methods: This study employed a descriptive observational design. Data were collected through observations and interviews with relevant staff across 15 service units assessed against the facility and safety management standard elements for hazardous and toxic materials, as outlined in the Ministry of Health Regulation No. HK.01.07/MENKES/1596/2024. The study was conducted from June to August 2025 at Hospital X. Results: Service units that met the facility and safety management standard elements for hazardous and toxic materials (>80%) included radiology (87.50%), hemodialysis (95.65%), pharmacy (95.65%), laundry (95.65%), Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) & sanitation (95.65%), emergency department (91.30%), central surgical unit (91.20%), and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) (91.30%). Units that did not meet the standard elements (<80%) were nutrition (39.13%), laboratory (65.21%), inpatient care (60.86%), outpatient care (65.21%), forensic (60.86%), medical rehabilitation (34.78%), and IPSRS (34.78%). Conclusion: Only 8 out of 15 service units met the facility and safety management standard elements for hazardous and toxic materials. Therefore, improvement efforts should prioritize the provision of MSDS, proper material inventory recording, classification-based labeling, and chemical segregation according to their characteristics.
