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.
