Abstract

Anemia is common among adolescents, especially girls who have begun menstruating, and is associated with reduced immunity, physical activity, academic performance, and fitness, as well as increased risks of low birth weight and maternal–neonatal mortality if it continues into pregnancy. This study aimed to summarize factors influencing anemia among adolescent girls based on recent evidence. A literature review was conducted using Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus to identify primary full-text articles in Indonesian or English published between 2021 and 2025 with the keyword “anemia in adolescent girls.” Anemia in adolescent girls is associated with nutritional status, menstrual cycle patterns, dietary habits, knowledge level, socioeconomic conditions, maternal education, adherence to iron tablet consumption, and physical activity. Anemia in adolescent girls is a multifactorial problem, requiring integrated prevention strategies that address nutrition, health behavior, and social determinants.

Abstract

The waste problem in Batang Hari Regency continues to increase in line with population growth, with a daily volume of around 31 tons and 87% of temporary waste storage sites being illegal. This condition has an impact on public health, aesthetics, and environmental pollution. Waste management analysis is needed to improve management effectiveness, but such analysis has not been conducted comprehensively with involvement of stakeholders. The research aims to explore and provide an in-depth understanding of the social phenomenon being observed, focusing on detailed descriptions of field conditions. This research uses qualitative case study design. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document reviews involving 10 informants. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis techniques, and data validity was ensured through triangulation of sources. The results show that waste management planning has been developed but has not been optimally implemented due to limitations in budget, fleet, and manpower. The implementation of collection and transportation is constrained by facilities and low public awareness of waste sorting. Evaluations are conducted but are not consistent, especially regarding illegal temporary waste storage sites. Follow-up actions in the form of socialization, additional facilities, and technical improvements have been carried out, but they have not completely resolved the problem. The implementation of management plays a crucial role in identifying weaknesses and promoting continuous improvement. Strengthening the budget, adding facilities, increasing the capacity of personnel, and active community participation are urgently needed to make waste management more optimal, sustainable, and positively impact health and the environment.

Abstract

Work productivity is an employee's ability to produce outcomes within an organization. Many factors can affect work productivity, including work stress experienced by employees due to excessive workloads, the working environment among colleagues and superiors, and the motivation of employees and management in their work. These factors can affect employee productivity in achieving set targets. This study aims to identify factors related to work productivity among employees Tigo Baleh Community Health Center, Bukittinggi in 2024. This research utilizes a descriptive-analytic method with a cross-sectional study design. The population comprises 46 employees, with total sampling employed as the sampling method. Data were collected using questionnaires and include both primary and secondary sources. Data analysis was conducted using the chi-square test. The results show that 22 respondents (52.4%) do not experience work-related stress, 24 respondents (57.1%) have positive work motivation, 22 respondents (52.4%) perceive a positive work climate, 31 respondents (73.8%) report good management, and 26 respondents (61.9%) are productive at work. Chi-square test results indicate a significant relationship between work stress and productivity (p=0.014; OR=6.75) and between work motivation and productivity (p=0.003; OR=10). There is no significant relationship between work climate (p=0.231) or management (p=0.720) and productivity. The study concludes that work stress and motivation are significantly related to work productivity. It is recommended that the health center implement effective stress management and provide motivation for employees.

Abstract

Coastal communities face distinctive health challenges influenced by their geographical location and lifestyle. This scoping review aims to elucidate health problems, health behavior, and strategies to ameliorate health disparities among coastal residents within the last 5-10 years. A comprehensive search was conducted following the Arksey and O’Malley framework using databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and GARUDA (Indonesian Journal Database). Studies were included if they focused on human populations in coastal zones, addressed hygiene or behavioral health, and were published in English or Indonesian; purely clinical trials or non-peer-reviewed reports were excluded. A total of 10 articles were reviewed, encompassing diverse health aspects among coastal residents. The reviewed articles identified that sanitation-related issues (n=6) and skin infections (n=4) were the most prevalent health concerns. These encompassed high rates of open defecation, water-borne diseases, and infections prevalent in young children. Common factors contributing to these health challenges included harsh environmental salinity, limited access to clean drinking water, and cultural practices. Health behaviors of coastal residents were also highlighted, showcasing significant gaps in handwashing compliance and domestic waste management.  Strategies to address these concerns involved multifaceted approaches, emphasizing education, sanitation improvements, and stakeholder engagement. Coastal residents face multifaceted health challenges influenced by their environment, socio-cultural practices, and limited access to resources. Addressing these issues necessitates holistic interventions that integrate community engagement, hygiene education, and infrastructure improvements, with active youth involvement to enhance sanitation. The findings underscore the urgency of tailored strategies to improve the health outcomes and well-being of coastal communities.

Abstract

One of Indonesia's most active volcanoes, Mount Merapi, puts nearby residents at risk. Risk reduction strategies require understanding readiness factors. This study aims to identify the determinants of disaster preparedness among communities living in the Mount Merapi hazard area, with a particular focus on examining the influence of socio-demographic factors and geographical proximity through a mixed-method approach. This research was conducted among 122 residents living in the Mount Merapi area and indepth interview with informants. Preparedness level (low, moderate, high) was assessed using a structured index, measured by knowledge and attitude (KA); emergency planning (EP), Warning System (WS), dan Resource Mobilization Capacity (RMC). To find independent predictors of high preparation, the Chi-square test and multivariable logistic regression were used. Variables included age, gender, occupation, length of residence, and distance from Mount Merapi. Chi-square test showed significant associations between preparedness and gender (χ² = 6.51, p = 0.039), occupation (χ² = 18.345, p = 0.049), distance to Mount Merapi (χ² = 14.768, p = 0.005), and length of residence (χ² = 19.655, p = 0.003). Multivariable analysis revealed that gender (B = 1.550, p = 0.009, OR = 4.713) and distance to Mount Merapi (B = –1.416, p = 0.023, OR = 0.243) were independent predictors of preparedness. Based on in-depth interviews with informants, residents who received disaster preparedness bag training exhibited effective emergency planning. Gender and proximity to the hazard drive disaster preparedness. Training, simulation exercises, and community education programs should actively incorporate men and women to improve preparedness knowledge and reaction skills and build preparedness strategies for areas near Mount Merapi.

Abstract

HIV cases continue to be a public health issue in West Sumatra Province, as seen from the increasing number of cases each year. Differences in regional characteristics are suspected to contribute to the pattern of HIV spread, so a spatial approach is needed to understand the variation in case distribution more deeply. This study uses an ecological study design by analyzing 19 districts/cities in West Sumatra during the period 2021-2024. The Global Moran’s I and LISA methods were applied to identify spatial autocorrelation patterns. The research results show that there are 7,260 HIV cases with a continuously increasing trend each year. Global spatial analysis shows a significant negative autocorrelation, indicating a dispersed distribution pattern, with a dominance of Low-High clusters in most regions. High spatial heterogeneity that is not concentrated in a single cluster was identified in West Sumatra province. Health policy interventions based on regional characteristics are needed to optimize resource allocation and future HIV prevention strategies.

Abstract

Medical treatment for cervical cancer aims to improve survival, cure the disease, and prolong patients’ life expectancy. Cervical cancer treatment consists of surgery, radiation/radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these three modalities, depending on the extent and stage of the disease. This study aims to analyze the relationship between medical treatment and the survival of cervical cancer patients at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang, during the period 2020–2024. This study used a representative cohort design utilizing medical record data from Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang, of patients who underwent medical treatment from 2020 to 2024. Samples were selected using a simple random sampling technique, with a total of 121 samples. Data were analyzed through univariate, bivariate (Kaplan-Meier and Cox Regression), and multivariate. The results showed that among 121 patients, 57.0% underwent combination medical treatment. Based on patient characteristics, 90.9% were aged >35 years, 87.6% had an education level ≤ senior high school, 74.4% were unemployed, and 56.2% were in the advanced stage of disease. The association between type of medical treatment and survival showed a p-log rank value of 0.003 (<0.05), indicating that at least one type of medical treatment had a different survival outcome compared to the others. Based on survival analysis, a difference in survival was only found between radiotherapy and combination treatment. This study found differences among types of medical treatment in relation to the survival of cervical cancer patients.

Abstract

Low birth weight (LBW) is a well-established early-life biological risk factor for respiratory infections; however, subnational evidence examining its role in childhood pneumonia in Indonesia remains limited. This study aimed to examine the association between low birth weight and pneumonia among children aged 12–59 months in Sumatra, Indonesia, while accounting for demographic, health service, and environmental factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (IHS). The analysis included 21,466 children aged 12–59 months residing in Sumatra. Pneumonia status and low birth weight were defined according to the SKI standard definitions. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed using sampling weights to account for the complex survey design. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were reported. The prevalence of pneumonia among children aged 12–59 months in Sumatra was 1.0%. Children with a history of low birth weight had markedly higher odds of pneumonia compared with those born with normal birth weight (aOR 14.9; 95% CI 9.2-24.1). Household cooking fuel use was identified as a confounding factor, but not as an interaction. Other factors, including vitamin A supplementation, immunization status, and area of residence, were not identified as confounding or interacting factors. Low birth weight is a strong determinant of pneumonia among children aged 12–59 months in Sumatra. Reducing childhood pneumonia requires integrated strategies addressing both early-life biological vulnerability and modifiable household environmental exposures.

Abstract

The health status of the Suku Anak Dalam (SAD) community remains a serious concern, particularly regarding mortality, morbidity, nutrition, and reproductive health. Nutritional problems among toddlers, adolescents, women of reproductive age, and the wider community continue to contribute to poor health outcomes. In addition, childbirth and reproductive health complications are still major factors causing high infant mortality rates within SAD communities. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of mentoring and educational interventions for SAD Posyandu cadres in improving their knowledge and practical skills. The study used a pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design and was conducted at the SAD community hall in Dwi Karya Bakti Village, Pelepat District, Bungo Regency, Jambi. The study population consisted of all SAD Posyandu cadres, totaling 19 participants. Most cadres were unemployed, with 6 men (31.6%) and 13 women (68.4%). Fourteen participants (73.7%) had low educational backgrounds, while 5 participants (26.3%) had higher education levels. The youngest respondent was 12 years old, and the oldest was 31 years old, with an average age of 18.53 years and a standard deviation of 5.037 years. Statistical analysis showed a p-value of 0.002 (<0.05), indicating a significant increase in knowledge after the educational intervention. Therefore, continuous mentoring and training are recommended to strengthen cadre competencies and sustain independent health services. Strengthening community participation through regular Posyandu activities may also help reduce preventable diseases, maternal complications, and infant deaths among SAD families.

Abstract

The aim was to analyze the relationship between maternal health, nutritional status, and feeding practices for toddlers and the incidence of stunting in oil palm farmer households. This study design was cross-sectional. The samples were mothers and toddlers from oil palm farmer households who were randomly selected, as many as 227 from 8 villages in Muaro Jambi Regency. Collecting data by interview and anthropometric measurements. Stunting was measured using Height/Age < -2 Standard Deviation. Data analysis used Chi-square and multiple logistic regression. The incidence of stunting was 30.4%. Maternal nutritional status was 4.8% thin, overweight was 48.9%, and Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) was 8.4%. Poor feeding patterns for toddlers 38.3%. The morbidity of mothers with infectious diseases was 10.1%. The dominant factor of stunting in toddlers in oil palm farmer households was the CED of mothers (POR = 2.34; 95% Confidence Interval = 0.78-7.00) after being controlled by maternal nutritional status, feeding patterns, and food insecurity. It is recommended to apply a healthy lifestyle, have a balanced and diverse nutritional diet for the mother, and pay good attention to her feeding practice for children. Improving nutrition and health education is very necessary for mothers. Keywords: Stunting, CED, toddlers, oil palm, smallholder
