Abstract

Rural areas have different characteristics compared to urban areas, such as lower education levels, limited access to health information and services, and strong social and cultural influences on smoking behavior. These factors may influence smoking behavior patterns among villagers, where smoking is often more socially and culturally acceptable. This study aimed to describe community smoking behavior in Timbuseng Village. This study used a quantitative descriptive design. The population of this study was the entire Timbuseng Village population of 2,054 men, with a sample of 226 people who engage in smoking activities selected using an accidental sampling technique. The description of the smoking behavior of the male community of Timbuseng Village is primarily farmers, education level, low economic status, and choose filter cigarettes in their smoking activities; most families in Timbuseng Village have fathers and children who have the status of smokers at the same time. Smokers in Timbuseng Village have carried out their daily activities as farmers, with an open environment or outside the building motivating farmers to smoke. Hopefully, this research will be developed to improve the analysis of factors influencing male smoking behavior in Timbuseng Village.

Abstract

Medical waste management in healthcare facilities is a critical issue in Indonesia due to its significant impact on public health and the environment. This study evaluates medical waste management practices and compliance levels by analyzing secondary data, including government reports, academic studies, and policy documents. The research method used was qualitative, utilizing secondary data, including peer-reviewed articles from databases such as ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Scopus, as well as relevant government and non-governmental organization (NGO) reports. The analysis resulted in three main findings: (1) Medical Waste Management Practices: mapping the actual condition of medical waste management in healthcare facilities; (2) Policy and Implementation Gaps, indicating a lack of regulatory oversight and enforcement; and (3) Diverse Operational Challenges: covering limited institutional capacity, staff training, resources, and awareness of the importance of medical waste management. Multifaceted strategies, including strengthening the regulatory framework, improving staff education and training, and allocating adequate resources, are recommended to address these challenges. This study offers concrete recommendations to improve the effectiveness of medical waste management in health facilities in Indonesia.

Abstract

The implementation of health promotion in hospitals faces various obstacles, one of which is the passive attitude of hospitals that only wait for patients to come without paying attention to health aspects in the surrounding environment. This study evaluates the suitability of implementing standards I, II, III, and IV of Hospital Health Promotion (PKRS) at RSUD Jenderal Ahmad Yani Metro City. The study used a qualitative approach with descriptive methods and involved eight informants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The results showed that the implementation of PKRS regulations at RSUD Jenderal Ahmad Yani has yet to reach the optimal level. Standard I has yet to be met due to the lack of regulation related to CHAP in the Hospital Strategic Plan (Renstra). In standard II, no health promotion needs assessment has been conducted for various related parties. Meanwhile, in standard III, health promotion interventions have been carried out well for patients and families, although there are still areas for improvement in interventions for hospital human resources. Standard IV shows that monitoring and evaluation have yet to be implemented consistently. Implementing the PKRS regulation at RSUD Jenderal Ahmad Yani still requires improvement to reach the optimal level.

Abstract

Anemia in adolescent girls is a global health problem with a prevalence of 30%, while in Indonesia, the figure reaches 48.9%, which is mostly caused by iron deficiency. One of the efforts to prevent and manage anemia in adolescent girls is through health education on consuming Blood Additive Tablets (TTD). This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of health education methods in increasing awareness and adherence of adolescent girls to the consumption of TTD. The study used a systematic review method with PRISMA guidelines. Literature was obtained from online databases such as ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and ResearchGate, which were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Of the ten articles analyzed, it was found that health education methods significantly improved adolescent girls' awareness and adherence to TTD consumption. An approach that combines lectures with media, such as PowerPoint presentations, videos, and demonstrations (mixed media education intervention program), effectively improved adolescents' knowledge and behavior regarding TTD.

Abstract

The use of e-cigarettes among adolescents continues to increase, even though these cigarettes contain harmful substances that can cause lung disease. This study aims to evaluate the factors influencing adolescents' behavior in using e-cigarettes and their impact on lung health. This study used the literature review method with PRISMA guidelines. Literature was obtained from Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect, with inclusion criteria being publications from 2019-2024 that focused on adolescents in developed and developing countries. A total of 15 articles were analyzed with exclusion criteria such as duplication, irrelevant literature, and inaccessibility. The results showed that adolescents' behavior is influenced by internal factors, such as knowledge, confidence, and gender, as well as external factors, such as parental support, peer environment, and accessibility. The misperception that e-cigarettes are safer than conventional cigarettes increases their use. Health impacts include asthma, wheezing, chronic cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, and EVALI (E-cigarette or Vaping Associated Lung Injury). Preventive and promotive interventions are needed to reduce the prevalence of e-cigarettes among adolescents through health risk education and strengthening social roles.

Abstract

The Family Facilitator Team (TPK) compliance in Metro City in using the Electronic Application Ready for Marriage and Pregnancy (Elsimil) is still low, even though this application plays an important role in efforts to reduce stunting. This study aims to analyze the predisposing, supporting, and driving factors that influence TPK compliance using the Elsimil application. The research design was descriptive quantitative with a cross-sectional method, involving 134 TPK members in five sub-districts of Metro City. Respondents consisted of 117 people (87.3%) aged >35 years and 17 people (12.7%) aged ≤35 years. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using the Chi-Square test and multiple regression. The results showed that facilities and infrastructure factors significantly affected TPK compliance (p-value=0.000; OR=192). Predisposing factors, such as knowledge, were also significant (p-value=0.003; OR=85.3). In contrast, enabling factors, such as support from community leaders, did not show a significant association. Improvement of facilities and infrastructure and education on the Elsimil application are the main strategies for improving TPK compliance. Efforts to strengthen technological infrastructure and organize comprehensive educational programs are needed to optimize the use of the Elsimil application to support the stunting reduction program in Metro City.

Abstract

Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) complaints are often experienced by informal sector workers, including laundry workers, due to non-ergonomic work activities. This study evaluates the factors associated with MSD complaints among the Medan Selayang Sub-district laundry workers. The research design used a cross-sectional approach with 68 laundry workers as samples selected by purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Nordic Body Map questionnaire and analyzed using the Chi-Square test and multiple logistic regression to identify significant risk factors. The results showed that age (p=0.000), gender (p=0.045), tenure (p=0.002), and length of service (p=0.000) had a significant association with MSD complaints, while body mass index (BMI) showed no significant association (p=0.822). Multivariate analysis identified length of work as the most influential factor in MSD complaints with an Exp(B) value of 198.113. Recommendations include implementing occupational health and safety programs focused on high-risk workers, counseling on ergonomics, and setting policies related to work duration. These efforts are expected to reduce MSD complaints and improve the welfare of laundry workers.

Abstract

In 2022, Waimital Village recorded 4 HIV cases among adolescents, two of whom died. Preliminary research indicated that these cases were influenced by low health literacy among adolescents. This study aims to analyze the relationship between health literacy using Snakes and ladders media about HIV/AIDS and risky behavior among adolescents. This study used a quantitative design with a Quasi-Experimental approach. The study population was 123 adolescents, and the sample was calculated using the Lameshow formula to obtain 56 respondents. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test because the data distribution was unexpected. The results showed a significant relationship between health literacy and adolescent behavior after the intervention (p-value=0.048). Two interventions using Snakes and Ladders media effectively improved health literacy and influenced adolescents' actions toward risky behaviors. It is expected that health centers, village officials, and schools can implement health literacy programs directly and consistently to reduce risky behaviors in adolescents.
