Abstract

Scabies is still a health problem in the world, including Indonesia. The World Health Organization (WHO) in 2017 stated that scabies is included in the Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) which requires large-scale control. In Indonesia, according to data from the Ministry of Health Republic of Indonesia the prevalence of scabies in 2017 is 6% of the total population in Indonesia. Discussion on the incidence and prevention of scabies from various regions in Indonesia so far is still not comprehensive. This review will provide an overview related to epidemiology and preventive measures against scabies so that scabies cases in Indonesia can be controlled properly

Abstract

The very rapid ageing of Singapore’s population is placing a huge burden on informal caregivers. I discuss two macroeconomic strategies – strengthening redistributive measures and professionalizing informal caregiving - that may alleviate this burden. A national study on informal caregiving is urgently required to identify specific areas and caregiver segments that will benefit from these strategies.

Abstract

Hand hygiene is one of the important factors that determine a person's health status. Hands are easily contaminated by microbes from the environment such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi through direct contact. Hand sanitizer is a type of media that can be used to clean hands from disease-causing microbes other than soap. Hand sanitizers are widely used by the community because they are considered more practical to use. This study aims to determine the anti-fungal activity of the hand sanitizer recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) against Candida albicans. Anti-fungal activity was tested using the well diffusion method. The results showed that the higher the concentration of the hand sanitizer, the bigger the inhibition zone formed. The statistical test results obtained a significance value of p <0.05 at the variation of the concentration of hand sanitizer 50%, 75%, 100%, and treatment control. These results indicate that there is a significant difference between the hand sanitizer treatment and control of the inhibition zone formation in C. albicans. The WHO recommended hand sanitizer has medium inhibitory power against C. albicans bacteria.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is reported as a world health problem, especially in developing countries. It is estimated that one third of the world's population has been infected by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. WHO has stated that tuberculosis has now become a global threat. Indonesia is one of the 27 countries in the world with MDR-TB cases. Methods: A qualitative study with an ethnography design was conducted to determine and reveal the meaning of treatment-seeking behavior in “Batu Balender” or TB patients in Buru Island, Maluku, Indonesia. The research data was collected through interviews with 15 informants from all risk groups that are directly related to TB. Observations were made to ensure the validity of the data. Results: This study revealed that from generation to generation, the Alifuru tribe believes that diseases are grouped into three categories: natural diseases, sick submissions, and ancestral curse. Indigenous people have believed that TB is an incurable ancestral curse disease. They know the "Kaygosa" who is believed to be the holder of natural medicinal plants to treat TB, such as leaves and bark. Conclusions: Alifuru tribal people who access health services to obtain Directly Observed Treatment Short-Course (DOTS) have experienced failure in treatment due to local customary rules that prohibit taking medicine if a tribal community has died and believes that a community health center or hospital is "house died". This study suggest that education and counseling for TB treatment should be optimized in efforts to improve the health of local tribal communities.

Abstract

Background: Individual behavior in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic is characterized by disruptions or shifts in lifestyle. Covid-19 is more likely to cause extreme symptoms or serious problems in people with some medical conditions (chronic noncommunicable diseases). Hypertension is a non-communicable chronic condition induced by an unhealthy lifestyle. According to data from the national covid-19 distribution map, hypertension is the comorbid condition with the highest number of covid-19 patients. Methods: This study uses a descriptive analysis with a non-experimental framework as its process (cross-sectional). According to the study's goals, research participants used secondary data from the Covid-19 Indonesia distribution map in 2020/2021. Results: The number of confirmed cases is about 10,000 residents in July 2020, and it will continue to rise until May 2021, when it will reach 1,400,000 cases. Hypertension, which accounts for 50.1 percent of covid-19 cases, is one of the most common comorbidities. Diabetes mellitus affects 36.6 percent of people, the heart 17.2 percent, and 10 percent of pregnant women. Lung and kidney disease affect about 5% of people, other respiratory diseases affect 2.2 percent, and cancer, immune disorders, asthma, liver, and tuberculosis affect less than 2% of people. Conclusion: Patients with hypertension should be mindful of the risk of contracting Covid-19. Because of the extent of the losses incurred by the Covid-19 pandemic, different parties must work together to avoid and manage it.

Abstract

Background Dietary diversity is an indicator of the quality of food intake which is very important to meet the nutritional needs of school-age children to support children's growth and physical development. School-age children (6-12 years) are a very strategic target for health coaching to prepare the next generation who are healthy, independent, productive, qualified, resilient, and able to compete globally. Improving nutrition for primary school children is a strategic step in particular because its impact is directly related to quality human resources (HR) who are ready to compete. Direct factors (diet and infectious diseases) and indirect factors (economic status, maternal knowledge, and several family members) influence the nutritional adequacy of school-age children. Objectives This study aims to look at the relationship between maternal knowledge about nutrition and health, economic status, and the number of family members on food diversity in primary school children in rural and urban areas of Banyumas Regency during the Covid-19 pandemic. Methods This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design involving 58 elementary school students in Banyumas Regency. Data were collected using an online questionnaire on google form to minimize the transmission of the covid-19 virus outbreak between researchers and students who were respondents of this study. Researchers have provided video tutorials on how to fill out a google form questionnaire to avoid confusion that results in biased data provided. Results The results of this study indicate that most of the mothers' knowledge is still lacking about nutrition and health (63.8%) this can be influenced by the education level of mothers who graduated from high school (43.1%) and most of the mothers are not working or as pure housewives ( 81.1%). knowledge influences the diversity of children's diets (0.44%), economic status (0.009%), and the number of family members (0.26%). Conclusions There is a relationship between the economic status of parents and the diversity of food for school-age children compared to the level of knowledge of the mother and the number of family members Keywords: diversity of food, elementary school children, physical activity

Abstract

Helminthiasis are still a health problem in Indonesia. Although not deadly, helminth infections will slowly affect children's health and productivity through a decrease in nutritional status. The chronic clinical course and tend to be asymptomatic causes helminthiasis to be classified as a neglected tropical disease. Research on the epidemiology of helminthiasis has been carried out in several regions in Indonesia. However, there has not been a comprehensive review to see the epidemiology aspects of helminthiasis. This article will discuss in detail how helminth infections influence the host to increase the incidence of malnutrition and its impact on children's health. Although this is not an emergency and a condition, the risk factors will lead the child to a state of chronic helminthiasis and transmission to other children which will have a negative impact on public health.
